ahora solo faltan los mp3    (aunque despues resulte que no mete en el disco las que mas me gusten     )

la letra de Columbus se ve bastante extensa. Y por lo que alcanzo a leer de white lights parece ser de esas canciones tranquilas y no muy largas.

[Antonio Crash]

El-a-Noy es relativamente antigua... creo q la tocó en alguno de los primeros conciertos acusticos de Zwan...o djaliZwan    

[korgan34]

Todo sera esperar.... con paciencia iran saliendo los mp3s....  

[GLASS02]

al igual que El-A-Noy, Friends as Lovers y Prairie Song tambien son de la epoca de Djali Zwan

[Bitterend]

"ALL SONGS BY BILLY CORGAN"... ahi, ahi... bien grande... El amigo tiene que estar muy orgulloso de su carrera en solitario    
Uhm, no se si quiero que salgan los mp3.. luego me emociono, me compro el disco para escuchar bien esos temazos... y no mete los que mas me gustan. Mecagon...

[MiCH]

la espera se hará larga......esperemos ke sean buenos temas......

[MaDMaX]

Yo siento ser pesimista pero creo ke va a ser un coñazo de impresion

Corgan Serenades Chicago

Former Pumpkins frontman films DVD at club show

"This is your chance for immortality," Billy Corgan told a sold-out hometown crowd Monday night at the Metro in Chicago before encouraging crowd members to sing along to a folksy chorus. "Your part is very simple, but, as you know, I have a tyrannical reputation," he said, joshing with fans and friends who assembled to an experience a quiet, acoustic evening.
Performing his first-ever solo concert, Corgan unveiled a low-key twelve-song-cycle of Chicago-themed songs (plus a three-song encore) along with his understated sense of humor. The ninety-minute set included two encores and Corgan performed all unreleased material. The show was also recorded for a DVD to ostensibly accompany a solo album he is preparing to release later this year.

Attendees were given a program when they entered which included the lyrics to all the songs, including some handwritten margin notes. Each song referenced something endemic to Chicago-life, from the cross-town baseball rivalry between the Cubs and the White Sox to Riverview, a defunct amusement park.

The Metro's stage resembled a living room, with Corgan seated in a red velvet wingback chair flanked by flickering orange lights and a small end-table. Performing before a set of microphones and a music stand holding a folder of all of the lyrics, Corgan plucked delicate notes -- typically in a minor key -- from his acoustic guitar. Often, his clipped voice barely rose above a whisper. While the majority of the songs offered little in the way of overt melodies or even choruses, Corgan did vary the subdued formula to rousing effect on several songs.

"Say Goodbye" grew more intense with its repetitive refrain and "White Lights" featured some bluesy licks and fine finger-picking. Corgan repeatedly thanked fans for their silence and patience, mentioning the fact that he had never performed the songs publicly. He explained how he'd been writing the material for about three-and-a-half years, since even before the Smashing Pumpkins disbanded. "This music seemed to be an escape from everything that was going on at the time," he said. "It's been a real honor and pleasure to play these songs for the first time . . . in public."

Corgan ended the main set with "Columbus," an expansive paean to the explorer that swelled to languid heights with Corgan singing, "Everything I ever loved/I loved way too soon."

The evening featured nothing from the Smashing Pumpkins or Zwan catalog, but Corgan reminded fans of his upcoming solo album, joking, "I'm rocking some new jams . . . and I believe it's going to be an alternative album." Corgan began to play the Zwan outtake "For Your Love" during the second encore, but he aborted it in favor of unreleased material not even listed in the program.

Still, the capacity crowd left satisfied, cheering and shaking the hometown hero's hand as he exited the stage with a polite bow.

la verdad es k yo estoy bastante perdida, por un lado el rollo tranki este del concierto y por otro lado colabora con taproot y en uno de sus primeros mensajes dice q el disco será de buen "rock&roll" no sé, no le veo muy centrado a este hombre... tendrá desdoblamiento de personalidad o algo?
