Corgan is creating some of the most engaging music of his career. The low-key closer, Strayz, summarizes the work thusly: You know Im true/Wasnt born to follow. -- Jason Pettigrew, ALTERNATIVE PRESS, August 2005 (five stars, highest rating) "Corgan's lyrics and aching whine convey the heart and psyche in an agonizing struggle to decipher the past and confront fears. Bold, eccentric and personal...Corgan devotees will warm to its idiosyncratic charms." -- Edna Gundersen, USA Today, 6/20/05 ...tinged by the idea that trauma holds the promise of transformation. Let it sink in over several listens, and its broken, beautiful pieces fall into place, its hopefulness starts to emerge. -- Greg Kot, Chicago Tribune, 6/19/05 "...an often bracing extension of the sweeping, striving rock and emotional vulnerability that made Corgan a beacon of alternative rock in the '90s. Here Corgan takes his sonic signatures--the blend of swoon and snarl, the high-pitched whine, the grandly melancholic harmonies and progressions--and adds a big dose of electronics, staking out a quasi-Goth territory with echoes of brisk New Order, burbling Peter Gabriel and shimmering Brian Wilson. The singer negotiates this terrain with his emotional antennae set on super-sensitive, bringing high drama to expressions of longing for connection and salvation. There's a moment or two of alarm and urgency, but less of the rage that colored the Pumpkins' music. In its place, Corgan summons a liturgical grandeur that makes this an almost religious embrace." -- Richard Cromelin, Los Angeles Times, 6/19/05 "...he has crafted his most distinctive and consistent music, picking up where Adore left off by pairing digital programming with wonderful washes of ethereal guitar a la the Cocteau Twins or My Bloody Valentine, and nicely framing melodies that remain anthemic and insanely infectious...With lyrical heartfelt declarations such as, "You don't know what it's like to love somebody the way I love you" and "I'm ready, ready for love," The Future Embrace is partly a journal of heartbreak and partly an optimistic personals ad announcing that its creator is ready to move forward and commit...[he is]...just an artist expressing what all of us feel, and doing it better than most." -- Jim DeRogatis, Chicago Sun Times, 6/19/05 "...brilliant first solo disc..." -- Trevor Kelley, The Stranger (Seattle), 7/14/05 Corgans dogged pursuit of infinite sadness still beguiles. -- Matt Diehl, Interview Magazine, July 2005 "...unquestionably beautiful, truthful and transcending..." -- Austin Powell, Daily Texan, 6/30/05 "...an enveloping wash of electronics and six-string soar over which the often-dour star sings the most hopeful lyrics of his career..." -- Ben Wener, Orange County Register, 7/14/05 "Employing his poetic muse as well as his skills as a musician and producer, Corgan created a richly layered album awash in keyboards that explores religion, aging and personal growth through such songs as All Things Change, The Camera Eye, Walking Shade and a beautiful version of the Bee Gees To Love Somebody. The album is like a musical extension of his book of poems, Blinking With Fists, which became a New York Times best seller." -- Gene Stout, Seattle Post-Intellegencer, 7/15/05 The albums opening salvo, All Things Change, is a declarative rocker enveloped in subdued electronics, while his moody take on the Bee Gees To Love Somebody conjures the coiled angst, angular tone and aching coolness of his old band at its very best. -- Ken Taylor, Wire, July 2005 "...trading in his '70s-metal-guitar onslaught for something more subdued but no less forceful. The highlight is an odd, electronically bent cover of the Bee Gees' "To Love Somebody. -- Aidin Vazira, San Francisco Chronicle, 6/19/05 "...some deliciously dark rockers..." -- Sandra Barrera, Los Angeles Daily News You dont merely hear TheFutureEmbrace, you touch it as well. Your senses tingle alive on All Things Change, a watery cascade of keyboards that washes over the listener to a metallic synthdrum backbeat. -- Tom Lanham, Illinois Entertainer, 6/05 "Corgan offers one of his most impassioned vocals in Now (and Then) and saves the guitar-rocking single Walking Shade'...The album's most unforgettable track is Corgan's none too subtle, loving homage to David Bowie, Pretty, Pretty Star. The guitars ripple, the effects are dream-weaving..." -- Kevin OHare, Newhouse News Service, 6/17/05 On The Future Embrace, Corgan taps into a twisted sadness and strangeness, ?with glimpses of hope and beauty. The CD is nearly always compelling, with The ?Camera Eye and Now (and Then) among the highlights....if this is Corgan's future, we'll gladly embrace it." -- Kevin C. Johnson, St. Louis Post Dispatch, 6/21/05 "Billy Corgan gets a really good buzz going with the techno-toned yet humanistic TheFutureEmbrace. -- Jonathan Takiff, Philadelphia Daily News, 6/21/05 TheFutureEmbrace is an eclectic and engaging album, including the requisite Jimmy Chamberlin appearance on the poppy and propulsive DIA and a tortured souls summit between Corgan and The Cures Robert Smith (To Love Somebody). Best of all is the punishing Mina Loy (M.O.H.), in which Corgan asks, over the albums best riff, Can I give my old heart to you? Hes hard to refuse. -- Adam McKibbin, Outburn, July 2005 While the lyrics are more introspective and the music more electronic than what we've come to expect from the Pumpkins or his most recent project, Zwan, thankfully Corgan's distinctive vocals and grungy guitar riffs are ubiquitous. The mostly upbeat songs, highlighted by All Things Change, Mina Loy (M.O.H.) and A100 effortlessly flow together. -- Katy Kroll, Billboard, 6/21/05 What people are saying about TheFutureEmbrace Tour... ...a dynamic solo debut Monday night at Webster Hall where he looked good and sounded better...Corgan's guitar work provided the core constant, twisting from crisp leads into a crush of distortion." -- Dan Aquilante, New York Post, 6/29/05 "...his vision was compelling...['A100']...delved into industrial rock with a thudding kick drum and rumbling synth-noises. Sorrows (In Blue) combined the two approaches: cold and menacing, yet slow and soulful. -- Rafer Guzman, Newsday, 6/30/05 "Despite its more personal and intimate tone, the new music never slumped into mere melancholy or self-pity. Instead, it offered a more nuanced version of the turmoil that has always driven Corgan's best songs. While most of The Future Embrace material performed at the Vic hewed closely to the album arrangements, from the eggshell beauty of Pretty, Pretty Star to the sleek New Order-like drive of Walking Shade, the guitarist veered into a darker territory with a handful of covers." -- Greg Kot, Chicago Tribune, 7/6/05 "...the music achieved a grandeur that sounded harsh and romantic simultaneously, all without borrowing the conventions that worked with his previous bands." -- Mark Guarino, Chicago Daily Harold, 7/6/05 "...one of the most original and challenging pieces of rock theater to come through town in years." -- Bill White, Seattle Post-Intelligencer, 7/20/05 "...an evening where artist and fan explored the unknown together." -- Katy Kroll, Billboard.com, 7/12/05 "...a scintillating set...Playing against a high tech screen lit with sequenced vibrant colorful graphics, the quartet kicked off with an utterly spectacular A100, where Corgan's plangent wailing guitar easily dominated the heady keys and pulsing percussion. The thuggish beat and fuzzy bass of I'm Ready brought that euphoria down to the dance floor level. DIA matched a driving beat with gorgeous vocal harmonies, as Strawberry added rich undertones to Corgan's scratchy sweet moans. Walking Shade was nothing short of an ooh-baby moment, as Corgan strapped on a black Flying V and let rip with big squalls." -- Linda Laban, Boston Heralnd, 7/1/05 "Corgan pierced the pulsing backdrop with plenty of intricate, intriguing guitar solos (the glissandos imparted on A100 and The Camera Eye fused Tom Verlaine's icy fluidity with Corgan's own free-associative ardor)... -- David Sprague, Daily Variety, 6/29/05 "...an undeniably sweet and unaffected undercurrent to songs such as the tender opener Now (and Then), a ballad about commitment, and the crystalline pop of All Things Change, in which Corgan successfully weaved multiple hooks...Corgan sounded as if he was born to voice the despair of the Bee Gees' To Love Somebody with a symphony of minor-key synths behind him." -- Patrick Berkery, Philadelphia Inquirer, 6/27/05 "...a finely executed musical departure for Corgan..." -- Kevin C. Johnson, St. Louis Post-Dispatch, 7/8/05 "...This show, with its myriad of color and feeling, was one that will be sure to linger in the audience's collective memory." -- Madeline Virbasius-Walsh, The Sentimentalist, 7/8/05 ps. just so we're all clear... hateful postings, gratuitous spam, and comments that cause the page to layout funky will be deleted. if someone is trolling the boards, trying to get a rise out of people, it's best to just ignore them... ok? ok.

I come home on my lunch hour just to see if you've announced you surprise. When I get home from work, I'm right back on this damn machine, checking to see if you've finally decided to stop this insanity and just let us know! NOTHING....NOTHING at all! Patience is something I lack, and may I say I've been doing pretty good with waiting for this special piece of information. I JUST CAN'T TAKE VERY MUCH MORE OF THIS!!!!! Please Billy, let us in on your secret. Olga auf deutsch Jan 10, 2006 09:39 PM You know what, my birthday is tomorrow. I'll be 17. Billy's Slave Jan 10, 2006 09:25 PM i broke my tooth today, it sucked how was your day?

Saw you 10 years ago with the Pumpkins here in Auckland, New Zealand - you guys rocked. Definitely the best gigs I've seen to date. Gutted that I missed you when you were in NZ again recently. Hope to see you Down Under again soon. Keep up the great work. You're a musical genius and pure inspiration. Alexia xx I'm Ready Jan 10, 2006 06:52 PM hi Billy, can i give my old heart to you? Thru The Eyes of Ruby Jan 10, 2006 06:48 PM Thru the Eyes of Ruby...yes, yes indeed. Like I said earlier, MLK Jr. Day is a great day to announce something extra special ab Jan 10, 2006 06:48 PM maybe he's releasing his novel?? Mrs. Corgan Jan 10, 2006 06:48 PM jason is right...but i don't think billy would of saved darcy... billy would have more fun as the villian<3 jason Jan 10, 2006 06:31 PM The end is the beging is the end video was alright, but not great, and my least favorite pumpkins video. and I know the batman people wanted lots of clips of their movie in there. But someone saying you should be batman a couple posts down got me thinking. The video could have kicked ass if Billy was running around with a batman mask and cape - saving darcy(damsel in distress) from james(pick any villan, penguin wouldve been funny). add some "booms" and "pows" and i think it couldve been a winner. anyways, that was almost 10 years ago, oh well Temporarily Crestfallen Jan 10, 2006 06:21 PM Good Billy sir, it is way past new year, and we are still waiting for your news...do tell soon!!! like, now would be a good time... Laura Palmer Jan 10, 2006 06:12 PM i wanna meet you again..? Miss Vampira-loves the smashing pumpkins Jan 10, 2006 06:02 PM hello billy... i understand how it is to be you... i just want my band and my life back. you are the greatest. sincerely, ballantine Mrs. Corgan Jan 10, 2006 05:48 PM billy we're waiting, and we can wait forever... as long as we have hope<3 Mrs. Corgan Jan 10, 2006 05:47 PM hello loveeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeely! x_mellon_collie_x Jan 10, 2006 05:42 PM I have come to find that your music is irreplaceable(or unreplaceable whatever the hell it is). Every time I listen to something other than your music I tend to get a bit depressed and bored with whatever it is. Then I listen to your music and I feel comforted and replenished. Nothing compares to your awesome music. Every now and then I like to listen to some other stuff, but no music will ever be as great as yours. You are simply the greatest musician there ever was and ever will be. Thru The Eyes of Ruby Jan 10, 2006 05:03 PM MLK Jr. Day is coming upon us...the perfect time for a suprise announcement huh BC? We're all waiting patiently. Thanks for Marquis In Spades.

Send it to a friend! Features You are in: Birmingham > Features > Pimp my bike! Farrah and Ian with their lowrider Pimp my bike! By Sarah Loat Ditch your BMX or mountain bike - the lowrider is here. It's urban, it's pimped out, and this bad boy screams 'look at me!'. Lowriders The phenomenon of lowriders is huge in the States, and although lowriders have been here for a few years, the UK has been slow to pick up the trend. In Birmingham city centre however, you might just see a group of Birmingham lowrider owners cruising the streets with their unique bikes. Ian Cumberbatch and Etienne Amion are into the urban hip-hop scene and are the first to bring lowriders to Birmingham. Lowrider phenomenon Etienne, Ian and Farrah Lowrider bikes began back in 60s America. Cars were customised with hydraulics to allow them to ride low and 'bounce'. Mexican and Puerto Ricans wanted to get involved in the lowrider movement, but most couldn't afford the expense of customising a car. They began to customise bikes by bending the forks to allow the frames to be lower, and then added colour, mirrors, bells...the lowrider bike movement was born. Michael with his 7ft chopper Michael Parinchy, 18, rides with Etienne and Ian on a Chopper lowrider; "Getting lots of attention is the main reason you go for something like this is the attention you get. My BMX gets me from place to place but sometimes it's good to get the crowds going on my lowrider." So what's the appeal of a 70's style bike to a teenager or twenty-something growing up in a technological age? Bling up your bike "It's urban, hip hop style and pretty unique here" says Michael. "I haven’t seen any being rolled around in Birmingham apart from the ones we go around on. Maybe next summer we’ll have everyone rollin' around on them. "The wheels remind me so much of the American lowrider cars and it's very hip-hop - that’s what I love about them. Especially the idea of rolling in big groups." Farrah The lowrider is definitely not just a means of getting from A to B. They're a bike made for cruising - they need to be looked at. Hip-hop stars like Snoop Dogg and Pharrell Williams are encouraging the appeal of the lowrider scene, often featuring them in their videos. Ladies love lowriders It's not just a hip-hop 'rude-boy' that's hooked on these bikes. The ladies are loving lowriders too. Not only the bikes beautiful to look at, but they also have mirrors perfect for touch-ups, or applying lipgloss, as Farrah demonstrates... And it's not just mirrors that adorn the lowrider, they can be personalised in just about any way imaginable. Farrah takes advantage of the mirrors "You can twist frames, paint them, have different wheels, spokes, mirrors, forks, peddles, spinning wheels. Each and every bike is different and everyone adds their own touch to their bike. There are 7 or 8 frame types in any colour you can imagine and you can customise it to your own style. "You can get hydraulics for them which lets the bike bounce and lowers them a whole lot. You can put soundsystems and boomboxes on them, hook up your iPod or mobile phone - even add neon lights." says Ian, who has owned his lowriders for over a year. Farrah, Ian And Etienne Ian Cumberbatch, 21, and Etienne Amion, 18 are such lowrider enthusiasts they have created their own company, BabyBoy Lowrider, to bring the bikes to Birmingham and the rest of the UK. Urban culture "Basically lowriders represents the urban culture that people wanna be a part of" says Etienne. "Nowadays as life is so fast moving, relaxing on a bike is not part of most people's day. Once people have a go they're hooked, and the attention that you get from being so unique is amazing. It’s unique to Birmingham and there are only a few stockists in the UK and we’re the only ones in Birmingham. Ian Cumberbatch Ian is keen to make the lowrider Birmingham's must-have accessory, "Everyone is fashion conscious here, its like kids who can’t afford a car, or are too young to get a licence are gonna look cool on a lowrider. "A lot of people buy them to display in their house but we wanna hit them out to people with a cool urban background coz that's where they start from. To these guys lowriders aren't just transport, they're a way of life, a style statement, a culture, or in their words "pimped-out". Etienne Amion "We wanna introduce people to the lowriders and represent the culture with the bikes" says Etienne. "We wanna organise meetings of lowrider owners to relax and celebrate the culture in Birmingham." "The urban scene in Birmingham is getting ready for lowriders and people want to be part of it," concludes Ian, "It’ll take off." See what all the fuss is about - take a look at lowriders in pictures. Lowrider gallery > last updated: 24/10/05 Have Your Say Into lowriders? Tell us about it here.

Removal See you! Watch from eternal being Signed on: Sat 07 Jan 2006 00:51:14 CST There is no doubt that the fear of the Lord is required in the life of each person who lives. In fact, men who do not fear God are condemned to everlasting hell. (See Rom.3:1 "You shall not misuse the name of the Lord, your God, for the Lord will not hold anyone guiltless who misuses his name." (Deuteronomy 5: 11) Your "Obscene" cartoon involving God and Adam and Eve has me weeping for you!(The Oh God! Oh God! one...) blas·phe·my A contemptuous or profane act, utterance, or writing concerning God or a sacred entity. Repent while there is mercy and time!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
