Galactic of the day

Galactic - "Hustle Up" from Adam Johnson on Vimeo.

Billy stands alone.


I think it's been about twenty years since Billy Corgan has had hair. Actually, it's really hard to picture him with hair. Even in the picture here, I can't see the hair. It just doesn't belong and it's confusing.


This video illustrates it best. It's like a halo, hazing about his person. Making you distrust it's very existence.




Following the Smashing Pumkins demise in 2000, Billy formed the short lived Zwan with original Pumkin's drummer Jimmy Chamberlin. The duo reformed the Pumkins in 2006. However, Chamberlin left the band in March 2009, leaving Corgan the only original member. But I bet the hair has got an eye on him from above.

Iggy Fucking Pop

Iggy just put out a new to you, new to him, new to everyone album. I'm not sure if all that's true, so you take a listen and report back. Hell, he could have been gearing up his whole career to this. Or he's just been hanging out with Tom Waits, Leonard Cohen and Serge Gainsbourg a whole hell of a lot.

And yes, I know Serge's been dead for nearly twenty years. But Iggy's pulling from beyond. This song may not best exemplify the Serge, and his solo prowessness, but it's one of my favorites.
