The Chicago studio where Smashing Pumpkins have been working on their comeback LP, Zeitgeist, was broken into and burgled last week.
The two burglars have since been arrested and jailed. A statement from the band's management reads:
“The two people who are now in jail illegally gained access to the band's private space and stole various items belonging to them over the course of several hours while the band had left for the evening.”
The thieves allegedly stole artwork for Zeitgeist; images later appeared on a fan site. The Reading-headlining Pumpkins' new album is released on July 7.
Bet the album is
rubbish. Corgan! Learn from Frank Black & friends!

Mmm various reports suggests its a great piece of work.
You're a piece of work
:)
Corgan's a good lad
looking forward to this little gem.
Who Cares
Its a shame they didn't burn the masters... The Smashing Pumpkins are just pure wank rock shite!!
Yeah
Damn that "rock" music. Who needs it.
have you heard
anything off the new Black Francis album that's coming soon? Heard a rumour that it shows what could have been if they made a new Pixies record...
Look for "Threshold Apprehension" on youtube or something, it's a really really good song.
... I loved Bam Thwok though so my judgment might be a bit wonky as doesn't everyone hate that :S
im nervous...
...about it. it could be shit or it could be amazing. i doubt itll be inbetween
apparently
it's in between. someone i know who's heard it says that there are some great guitar bits though.
Zeitheist!
As long as it doesn't involve rainbows, i'll be happy.
if this
isn't shit, it'll be a miracle of biblical proportions.
lol
we like we like
did they steal billy's black trenchcoat
he'll be sooooo mad
still
no confirmation of the actual line-up though, right? that is total BS

The album listing is available now, check out somewhere like play.com
Only heard 'Tarantula' and 'Doomsday Clock'. The first being fucking good and the second having some awesome instrumentation. Should be a good album.
