• Smashing Pumpkins's Next Album May Be Their Last: Billy Corgan Is 'Over Rock 'N' Roll'

    Billy Corgan might think that The Smashing Pumpkins are a better band than Pearl Jam and Foo Fighters — and he is right, by the way — but the Pumpkins might not even be around much longer. According to a recent interview with "The Wall Street Journal," Corgan hinted that the next Smashing Pumpkins album, "Day for Night," could well be the last."The next album is like the end, end, end," Corgan says when discussing his "psychic impression of the future" in terms of new Pumpkins albums. "The trite way to say it is I'm over rock 'n' roll. Which is strange because rock 'n' roll is getting back into me."If Corgan were to end the Smashing Pumpkins after the next album, it would not be the first time the band — "project" is a more appropriate word at this point — has fallen apart. The Pumpkins initially split in 2000, but reunited in 2006, though guitarist James Iha and bassist D'arcy Wretzky chose not to participate. Corgan is currently the sole original member of the band and the only official member at the moment other than rhythm guitarist Jeff Schroeder.

  • Cam'ron Emojis Are Here: U Mad?

    It is not enough to just be a regular person who exists in real life. The next step to be as ubiquitous as possible and permeate as many facets of life is to become an emoji. Lil B has his own app where you can send the most basic messages possible, including multiple ways to ask your friends and acquaintances for money. Now Cam'ron has been blessed with his own collection of emojis, including the iconic "U Mad" moment. Cam'ron has already become a popular meme with this moment trolling Bill O'Reilly, so the next logical step was to become an emoji and expand on his repertoire, via "Pitchfork."You can download all 20 emojis through the Hi-Art iOS and Android apps, though you will need to update to iOS 8 for Apple users, which the author is holding out on doing with his 4S. Earlier this year, Hi-Art released Ghostface Killa emojis, with some popular selections including "C.R.E.A.M." spelled out in dollar bills. Nothing says I love you like a Cam'ron emoji wearing a surgical mask.

  • Death Grips Share Weird 'Inanimate Sensation' Music Video from Upcoming Album 'Jenny Death'

    Even though experimental hip-hop group Death Grips broke up in July, they still have yet to release "Jenny Death," the second half of their double album "The Powers That B." Today, Dec. 10, however, they have shared the first track from Jenny Death, titled "Inanimate Sensation," along with its unusual music video, which you can check out below.The entire video is bizarrely shown through a crashed jumbotron lying in the middle of an empty basketball stadium and features images of Death Grips frontman MC Ride — occasionally wearing huge googly eyes — rapping the song intercut with psychedelic, computer-generated visuals. As for the song itself, "Inanimate Sensation" is a sprawling six-minute track with typically abrasive and unsettling electronic production and should satisfy Death Grips fans while simultaneously horrifying everybody else.You can check out the music video for Death Grips's "Inanimate Sensation" here:

  • Highest Paid Musicians 2014: Dr. Dre Tops The List (Duh) but Beyoncé, One Direction and Justin Bieber Make Bank as Well
