Sounds Great: Billy Corgan’s Smashing “Spaniards”

I’m late on this mostly because I stopped paying attention to him a long, long time ago, but it is important to point out that despite all of the bullshit and betrayals and sold out songs and stupid wrestling crap, William Patrick Corgan stands as one of the great weirdo musical minds the world has ever produced. From the gushing fuzz of the early Smashing Pumpkins till today, his is a vision possessed of a peculiar, quirky beauty that’s always reminded of a space age Nick Drake, is truly one of a kind. His latest release, Ogilala, sees the light of day this week. and it’s lovely.
