Billy Corgan is a man of many priorities, but their ranking in his head can be confusing to us outsiders. For example, he announced yesterday that he is quitting Twitter and focusing on a new website titled People and Their Cars. The site will feature photos of people… and their cars.
The site’s “about” page reads as follows: “Pictures (mostly Vernacular), design elements (found), and ephemera with smatterings of Art (conscious). If you share please link back to this site. And duly note: Vintage slide images are presented in an ‘as is’ condition, without correction or removal of their inherent imperfections. Thanks! WPC.”

Wait, is this the Smashing Pumpkins guy or some other Twitter Billy Corgan? Did he work for the Twitter or is he just going to stop twittering?
The Smashing Pumpkins Billy Corgan. It's a cool idea. I will try to remember to ask him more about it when I see him on Friday.
We don't even care, restless as we are
He needs to post pics of that green Charger they used in 1979.
I was never a fan of the Pumpkins, but I like the site. The cars in this shot are awesome for the strangeness of the pairing: an Opel Kadett Rallye and (I think) a 455 Toronado

In reply to SyntheticBlinkerFluid:
I'm wondering what the actual motive behind his new venture actually is. He's never been known as a car guy--he's a musician and a wrestling guy. Leaving twitter was a strange move, too.
He seems to be up to something with it, as it's a REALLY strange move for him.
In reply to gamby:
I'm predicting a new music venture. It's always good to add a bit of relevance to yourself by getting some press before releasing something new. It keeps him from appearing as a has-been.
I just looked at the site. I don't get it. Seems pointless.
it is a little.... thin at this moment. maybe with more content, it will be clearer what he's going for.

It looks like a couple pages out of the middle of the hotlinking thread. I don't think I get it.

so far for a site dedicated to people and their cars there's a lot of pics without people or cars.
