Billy Corgan requires only the finest cameras and female wrestlers for his next video

As proven by Billy Corgan’s recent pronouncements that he will never, ever, not in a million years reunite the original Smashing Pumpkins lineup (until the money is right, probably), he’s way past such concerns of crowd-pleasing simplicity. That’s even more evident in the ongoing release for Teargarden By Kaleidyscope, a sprawling, years-long project that will eventually comprise 44 individual tracks, each one telling a chapter in an ongoing spiritual story based on “The Fool’s Journey” version of the Tarot—a concept that will finally get its first visual accompaniment with a video featuring female wrestlers Cheerleader Melissa, Shelly Martinez, and Raven, according to a press release. In the statement, Corgan acknowledged that he “waited and waited to make the right video for the right song on Teargarden,” finally settling on the recently debuted “Owata” and drafting director Robby Starbuck to make the first-ever music video with the Red Epic M camera, which has so far been used solely by filmmakers like James Cameron and Peter Jackson.
