One band who will not be playing the CMJ New Music Marathon because there are working on a very sepcial project is the Smashing Pumpkins, The band who back in April when lead man Billy Corgan announced to the world on the band web sight that the orginal god of alturnative rock are reforming since there last album 2000's MACHINA/The Machines of God, well yesterday on my day off this was posted on the Smashing Pumpkins web sight:

The Smashing Pumpkins are currently in the recording studio with legendary producer Roy Thomas Baker (Queen, The Cars, The Darkness), at work on their first new album since 1999.

now we have no ideas when the album will be released, but who going to play in the newly reform band but we know billy will play in the new band and Drummer Jimmy Chamberlin will play it, but will James Iha or Dracy play in the refrom group, Stay tune for more info as it go along.

according to YouTube co-founder Steve Chen thought Reuters that On-Line video service is in talks with Warner Music Group and EMI about obtaining their catalog of videos. and he also say that within six to 18 months almost ever music video every music video ever created, that mean that the Late Night Music Club may on for many years to come, may be forever if i can keep up this blog with in five years.

POSTED at 4:06PM: and who know we may see clips of the new Janis Joplin bio-pic movie which Spin Magzine on Spin.com is reporting that the lovley Zooey Deschanel(The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy) have sing on to played the one and only Janis Joplin in the biopic "Gospel According to Janis" Shooting begin in Philadelphia in November, let hoped it the right chocie to played Janis, Over the years names have floated around form anywhere from Linsday Lohan(oh my god) to Britney Spears(Hell No)and Scarlett Johansson(it would been a OK chioce) even Pink was going to play Joplin in the same pic but pull out claiming the film's producers made the casting process "some circus pop contest -- who's the 'it' girl who wants to play Janis," according to IMDb.com, The Movie will not coming out untill 2008 so to killed the time why go watch "Bones" on FOX with her sister Emily Deschanel, season operner of season two is Wednesday, August 30 on FOX.
