i'm sorry Billy corgan. i have to split up with you. it's not me, it's you.

Hi, I’m just dropping a line to say that I won’t be buying Zeitgeist.As a long-time Smashing Pumpkins fan, (I’ve been a fan for about 7 years) I’m disappointed. I find it ridiculous that you are letting your record company release 4 differing versions of your new album. (only one has the title track?!) I know that the record industry is in decline, but this is insane. More importantly, it’s an abuse of a passionate, dedicated core audience. I know that bands don’t really get a say in how their label markets their LP, but surely you find this appalling? I’m a massive fan, but I don’t really have the cash to waste on 4 copies of the same record. This seems very much against the ethics of the original Smashing Pumpkins, (a band who released a double album and their last album for free.)I’m not buying Zeitgeist, and I’m sure you think I’ll just download it from somewhere, but I’m not going to. I’m washing my hands of this silly little vanity project. I’m sorry that you/the record labels have chosen to sully the name of a formerly fantastic band. I’ve spent years listening to Smashing Pumpkins records, they really meant the world to me. It’s a shame that I wont even get a chance to listen to the new one.
