the embers never fade in the city by the lake

billy corgan's solo album was released today, and was accompanied by an announcement in the chicago tribune that he wants to reform the smashing pumpkins. it's a pretty surprising statement, but it's also seemed like he hasn't been satisfied with anything he's done since the pumpkins (like zwan). here's hoping he gets chamberlin to join him, and that they can go back to the glory days. you can see the actual ad corgan put out in the mtvnews article.
