Want New Smashing Pumpkins? Get Guitar Hero. Billboard reports Guitar Hero World Tour will premiere the new Pumpkins single "G.L.O.W." (along with a playable Billy avatar) when it is released this fall, giving superfans a few months to figure out how to create pirated MP3s from tracks on Guitar Hero World Tour. Good luck everybody.

is billy going to make sure there are five or six different versions of the game, all sold through different vendors?

yes, because he's broke after giving away Machina II, the Machina demos, Billy's Gravity Demos, Adore and Adore II demos, and the 1989 Reel Sessions for free. Also, he will force you to buy all of them because you aren't a true fan if you wait for the silver edition of Zeitgeist that included all the additional tracks and if something exists you are forced to buy it now. Welcome to America.

I was going to make a joke about how Billy Corgan wrote a song about the Gorgeous Ladies of Wrestling.

It turns out that Billy Corgan wrote a song about the Gorgeous Ladies of Wrestling.
