Billy Corgan Releases Second New Smashing Pumpkins Song

Billy Corgan has posted another new Smashing Pumpkins song online, as part of the work-in-progress 'Teargarden By Kaleidyscope' album. The free download, entitled 'Widow Make Up My Mind,' is part of Corgan's ongoing 44-track free project.

As Corgan told Spinner in a video interview in December, the band plan to release the new material online, one at a time, for free -- no strings attached. The songs will also eventually be released as a series of 11 EPs.

The first track 'A Song For A Son' was made available in Dec. 2009, and both releases are downloadable from the Smashing Pumpkins website now.

Aside from prolifically writing new Smashing Pumpkins material, Corgan also announced this month that he has started an as-yet-unnamed record label. He confirmed, "We are very excited to be collaborating with amazing artists that have made a huge impact on the underground music world ... From the psychedelic garage rock of the 60's and the punk rock insanity of the 70's and 80's to the post-punk Pleiadian power-pop that is now."

Artists on the new label include the Germs, the Electric Prunes and Strawberry Alarm Clock as well as new acts Fancy Space People, YaHoWha 13 and Starchildren.

Corgan has a new label with some 60s psychedelic acts and the remains of L.A. punk band the Germs.

Mark Weitz of the Strawberry Alarm clock talks about his plans for the psychedelic music label from Corgan.

My Daughter went to middle/high school with their new drummer Mike Byrne, here in Beaverton, Oregon.
Kinda cool that my Daughter knew him.
I've got one of his early drum solos from a school concert.

Corgan is and deserves a lot more attention and respect. His new music, so far, sounds amazing and sounds brand fresh and new, but still has that classic Pumpkins feel. It's bring back so many memories when I first fell in love with the Pumpkins. I also like the fact that he is being innovative with getting his music out there in the the new music industry.
