radio play my favorite song

Today I received some most unfortunate news. It's official; Billy has decided to dissolve Zwan.

Back in 2000 when I heard that the Pumpkins were on their final tour after formally announcing their lame excuses for breaking up the band, I was saddened, but glad that I would be able to see them at Summersault 2000. In hindsight, I was completely into their performance, but I can see why a lot felt that it was sub par. Hey, at least he waved goodbye to everyone when they had played their final encore. Only to break down sobbing after their final performance ever at The Metro in Chicago later that year.

And now he's doing it again with Zwan? Sure, they weren't together for that long so I doubt it was a very sorrowful goodbye for any of the members. But what about the fans, Billy? As soon as I heard about this new project, I was waiting for the Second Coming. And for all intents and purposes, for me it was. Zwan's first album was fantastic, and I completely rocked out during their Toronto show back in March (although the crowd were a bunch of dimwits that had no idea what they were witnessing, they were too busy posing).

Maybe I'm taking this a bit too hard, but it seems to me that Billy is just giving up. He says he's going to get into poetry or some shit, maybe a solo career. But we need a band, Billy. Already the members of Zwan are going their separate ways. The dream is dying and it breaks my fucking heart.

a little sunshine, just to butter my toast.
