Three down, forty one to go: New Smashing Pumpkins song
Yeah, so Billy Corgan’s promise of releasing a new Smashing Pumpkins song every two weeks turned out to be pure B.S. Who couldn’t see that coming? But you can’t get too mad at the guy since he is giving away three or four albums’ worth of material for free.
And the next song up in his ongoing Teargarden by Kaleidyscope is called “A Stitch In Time.” It’s the third song of the 44 track album released so far. Is it just me, or is this starting to feel like Stephen Colbert’s “Better Know A District” segment?
Anyways, the band will be releasing the songs in groups of four as limited edition EPs. The first EP, titled Volume 1/Songs For A Sailor will be released on April 20th. The track list is:
- A Song for a Son
- Widow Wake My Mind
- A Stitch In Time
- Astral Planes
The first three tracks have already been released for free with the fourth expected in the near future.
The newest song, “A Stitch In Time,” is the weakest of the bunch. It’s got a real psychedelic vibe going on, but it’s listless and boring. It seems like it’s going to build up to something, but that something never comes and the song is over without anything really happening.
You can download all three of the released songs for free at the band’s website.
