With the Smashing Pumpkins heading into the studio this month to record a new album, Oceania, and plans to release remastered versions of their past albums over the next three years (Gish, Siamese Dream, and Pisces Iscariot) Rolling Stone asked Billy Corgan if the original lineup would possibly reunite (via Spinner):
