    yah, I remember the CD thing.  It was tough because you had to pick which version and bonus song you wanted.... it was a tough choice.

    Hopefully it gets a vinyl pressing one day.

    Isn’t the reason it’s not available in Apple Music and Tidal etc because so many people said it wasn’t good? Billy got mad or something and pulled it 

    hadn’t thought about that album for a long time, just went to get it and it’s nowhere to be found 


    He mentioned wanting to go back and remix it as a reason for it not being out there right now.

    Found this as I got curious.  He seems to have really thin skin.  It’s a shame.  Art is art and not every is going to get it. 


    A little while back, Billy Corgan pulled the 2007 Smashing Pumpkins album Zeitgeist from streaming services like Spotify and Apple Music. Corgan reflected on this decision during recent Instagram story Q&A’s. 

    So you took Zeitgeist off streaming services because you’re unhappy with the mix?

    “No, I took it off because everyone told me it was no good. So I said, OK #becarefulwhatyouwishfor.”


    I really wish I could’ve heard Zeitgeist before it was taken off music platforms.

    “Me too. Shame those albums are so poor that they had to disappear.”


    Why don’t people just buy Zeitgeist CD if they wanna hear it so bad? I have 4 diff versions.

    “I have 3,000 copies in storage that label sold me for scrap (They were going to destroy them rather than store). IF you really want them.”


    Guess I’ll just email ZuZu’s and ask to buy one.  SP fell of my radar between Adore and Oceania so I’ve barely listened to anything from that gap

    Good find. I hope he can find some peace of mind someday. Sometimes the artists we love are so deeply flawed.

    sorry, but Billy is such a whiny baby. Why punish the fans that like it? the guy is constantly cutting off his own nose to spite his face.

    Trauma makes people behave strangely.

    Wow, totally missed that this was removed. I have a cd copy, so glad for that I guess!

    I have the 3 bonus tracks that were released on the different coloured versions at Best Buy if anyone needs them.

    fair enough. guess I don't know about his trauma. he's an amazing artist, no question. just get so tired of him telling that to the world.

    anyone have the American Gothic EP? I seem to recall that all but falling under the radar. I really dig it. More acoustic/not heavy songs. 

    edit: I guess I know why....there's no release listed on discogs for a US release of this. Europe, Mexico, Canada, Australia, Argentina and the UK.

    Pretty sure I have the EP, but maybe I got it digitally? Possible that got removed. Hmm.

    Have to say, I’m a bigger fan of Oceania. Favorite of the post break up albums.

    I have it on CD. I can take photos and share later. It’s AMAZING.

    I bought it digitally back in the day. I somehow got one with bonus live tracks, but can't find any information on it (or if those tracks were just added by a fan to a torrent).

    Post 2000 SP has been very uninteresting for me. I tried to like Zeitgeist, but it’s meh. If he remixes it, I may give it a chance. The original mixing was brutal.

    My sense is he'll follow through with it. He's mentioned it enough times on Instagram live chats that I think we'll see it happen.

    If you like Zeitgeist the best way to listen to (some of) it is the AOL sessions on youtube - sounds like the album was supposed to

    Loved them on the Zeitgeist tour, only ruined slightly by all the people who didn't love them and just spoke through the whole show, or shouted for Hummer for 2.5 hours.
