Smashing Pumpkins' Corgan unveils new songs in LA
The Smashing Pumpkins' Billy Corgan performed in Los Angeles last night, playing four new songs.
Not one of the new songs had a title, reports NME.com; Corgan appeared unsettled at the show, at the Hotel Cafe, and repeatedly retuned his guitar.
Other performers on the evening included E from Eels, The Who's Pete Townshend, and Minnie Driver.
Organiser Rachel Fuller remarked that Corgan was nervous, adding that he'd not played live for a long time. He's also bald, and has been that way since '1979'.

Worst.voice.in music.ever
What about the Molko?
That's a much more irritating whine, shurely?
on record, maybe
Live, though, Corgan's voice is terrible. And I say that as a Smashing Pumpkins fanatic.

This means a new album soonish i guess. Will it be good? Probably not, but I will get it anyway.
