if they can record 4 songs in 3 months they should be able to release 1 song a month and manage to keep a few steps ahead of the process. even if they had no material whatsoever, having one month to write and record something, at the very least, sounds like an interesting challenge. |

he did plan on touring during this whole process too. So that may prolong the album a bit.

i assumed that in the first few months they've been demoing a dozen or two songs to decide what feel & equipment to record them on
and now that that's done, they seem to be on a 1 songs a week. buy who knows. the recording of an album is a long and winding path i'd be curious to know which songs were written during the recording process the only ones that come to mind are: -age of innocence -ruby? - finished in studio according to d'arcy 1979? - finished the day before the deadline... billy rushed to get it done because he wanted it *******... -spaceboy (some quote about how he was supposed to be writing a rock song but this is all he could get himself to) - zeitgeist? (all the album.?) i dunno. i'd be curious if anyone could add on this. |

Corgan Talks Pumpkins’ Plans: “I’d Rather Be Free Than Rich” : Rolling Stone : Rock and Roll Daily
Corgan Talks Pumpkins’ Plans: “I’d Rather Be Free Than Rich” 10/15/09, 12:15 pm EST For someone who once released a double CD, Billy Corgan has had it with the album. “I was never comfortable with the album format,” Corgan tells Rolling Stone. “It always felt so forced and was obviously an economic decision made by others and not an artistic decision made by creators. It can be draining to try to record 15 songs over a six-month period.” Smashing Pumpkins celebrate 20 years of rock in New York: photos. True to his word, the in-progress, psychedelic-leaning Smashing Pumpkins album, Teargarden by Kaleidyscope, will be released one track at a time, as free downloads, starting in late October. “No strings attached, no e-mail address need be given, no fees, nothing, totally free,” he says. “A 44-song free-for-all!” Even when it will be available physically, the format will be 11 EPs with four tracks each. “I thought it would emphasize that each song is really important to me,” he says, “and also try to get myself up to the speed of a world that is absolutely devouring information.” Corgan says he wasn’t inspired by any similar approaches, like Radiohead’s recent move to put out singles and one album online. “I want no limitations on what I can, and will do,” he says. “I think the size and shape of the traditional album is just morphing into something much more in the moment. Four songs at a time will mean I can give my heart over to the music fully without giving away my now happy life.” Although Corgan says he already written 53 songs, he won’t say whether he’ll be recording them with the latest edition of the Pumpkin or reveal any song titles. “The first four songs are speaking a new language to me, rooted in the psychedelic music I love but still sounding quite modern and like the Pumpkins I long to hear,” he allows. He’s also hoping to have the first track available just after Halloween. Can Corgan, who parted ways with Warner Bros. last year, afford to give music away for free? “I can’t afford it!!” he says. “But I would rather be free than rich. The [major] labels are dead ghosts walking, and they know it. They never should have left this mystic free, because I am way more of a pied piper than they could ever fathom.” |

what's this bla bla about "afford to give music away for free"
it costs me nothing to upload music online. and to distribute it to anyone interested. it's not like he's pressing cd's and giving those away for free. |

D'arcy spent all his savings on crack and maxxed out all his credit cards. He's still repaying them to this day.

So what do people think of the release method? He was quoted recently as saying that the first track will be available around the 31st. I'm planning on buying physical copies of all 11 EPs (Because i'm an idiot) and i'd hoped that people paying up front would be able to get them first. Surely that would make sense?

I wish he would just hold off on releasing 1 song at a time and just release the entire 4 song ep at a time.
would make more sense. I HATE SINGLES |
