Well, guess what I just saw? No, not a hot naked chick waving at me from the window across the street. How awesome would that be? Not nearly as cool, but if you get a hard-on for 90’s alternative music, and a “band” who is struggling to prove they’re legit, you’re in for a treat.
The Smashing Pumpkins have completed their second EP (out of eleven), Teargarden by Kaleidyscope Vol. II: The Solstice Bare, comprising of songs they release for free on the internet every few weeks or months. The 11 volumes will eventually form the 44 track Teargarden by Kaleidyscope (Hi, Captain Obvious speaking).
Their business model is as follows: you release songs for free, and each time you collect four, you rearrange the order of them, slap them on CD, charge them at full album price, and sell them. Genius. Each EP is does come in with a pretty unique and nice package, and is limited. You can download the songs and see details on EPs on their website, and you can make the jump to see what they look like in physical form.
