American Gothic
Written by fredward on January 2nd, 2008The Smashing Pumpkins released their new acoutic EP American Gothic earlier today on iTunes. I’m always up for some new Pumpkins material so I login to iTunes Store to purchase it…only to find I have download each song individually. It’s not an independent EP but ANOTHER version of Zeitgeist was released online to include the 4 new songs.
Also, the EP is slated to make a physical release everywhere else later this month. This marked the 6th or 7th “New special deluxe re-release” of Zeitgeist. Guys, you’re getting greedy. Seriously, you’re RICH. The people who bought the album on the day it came out, but decided to buy the re-release with the DVD commentary less than six months after the album debut now have to buy it AGAIN because “this is what the album should have been…we wanted some calming acoustic tracks”
blah. no thanks.. they are good songs though. =P

Actually, it’s both packaged with zeitgeist and is a stand alone release. You mis-read hon. My friend just downloaded AG from iTunes and didn’t have to buy Zeitgeist too.
