Smashing Pumpkins to Debut Single via "Guitar Hero"

Bleep blorp, bleep bleep blorp. Oh, excuse me. I was speaking Futuretongue, the language of the future. What that translates to is, "Smashing Pumpkins are releasing a three-track single-- featuring a brand new song-- as a downloadable add-on for forthcoming video game 'Guitar Hero World Tour'. Weird, right?" Futuretongue is a concise language.

The single consists of previously mentioned new song "G.L.O.W." bundled with old favorites "1979" and "The Everlasting Gaze". This is the first time a band has released a new song exclusively through a "Guitar Hero" game, though Smashing Pumpkins eventually will give the single a more traditional release too.

Also, Pumpkins frontman Billy Corgan will appear as a character in "Guitar Hero World Tour", and one of the songs available for play on the original game disc will be "Today", from Siamese Dream.

Activision will release "Guitar Hero World Tour" this fall, complete with blippity bloppity blorp and bleeperstein mcbleep bloop.
