The Smashing Pumpkins - Teargarden by
Kaieidyscope
In the spirit of adapting to the changing
musical landscape of the digital age, BUly
Corgan the vocalist, multi-instrumentalist
and songwriter behind Chicago-based alterna
tive rock band The Smashing Pumpkins
announced after the release of 2007’s album
“Zeitgeist” that typical studio recordings were
no longer in the big picture for the band.
True to his word, “Teargarden by
Kaieidyscope,” The Smashing Pumpkins’ new
est musical escapade, redefines the recording
process by bringing fans along for the ride.
Advertised as a “new kind of album, an
album you can hear as it’s being made,”
“Teargarden” has circumvented the main
stream the entire project will be comprised
of 44 tracks, released one at a time, through
the band’s website.
Eight songs have been released since
September 2009.
Each time a set of four songs is released, a
physical EP counterpart volume is put out for
sale. Once all 44 tracks have been released on
11 EPs, the entire album will be released as a
box set with additional bonus material.
Despite the unique marketing scheme,
there have been
drawbacks to the
process so far.
For one, long
time drummer
and co-founder
Jimmy
Chamberlain quit
the band in 2009.
Newcomer Mike
Byrne has proven
himself a highly
capable drummer
and has filled the
void as best he
can, but nobody
can replace Chamberlain’s signature bombast.
Sure, Corgan in essence is The Smashing
Pumpkins, but without Chamberlain pummel
ing the kit alongside layers of guitar and nasal
ly vocals, something in the sound is missing.
“Vol. 2: The Solstice Bare,” released Nov. 23,
bears many of the same problems that
plagued “Vol. 1: Songs for a Sailor.” For an
album whose approach to marketing and
release is left-of-center, the same can’t be said
of the music itself.
So far, the majority of “Teargarden” has
been smoothed-over and conventional. Most
of the songs sport a prominent pop sensibility
not heard since “Adore,” but unlike that
album, the Pumpkins take very few risks in
terms of composition and dynamics.
Easily the most impressive cut on “Vol. 2” is
“The Fellowship,” with a galloping rhythm and
a bubbling, Muse-esque synth figure that gives
the song an epic, proggy edge. The lyrics “Are
you with us or against us?” are repeated a bit
too much, but somehow it works, contributing
some much-needed urgency to the song.
The other three tracks range from passable
to sub-par, featuring formulaic pop melodies
and undercooked lyrics. “Tom Tom,” with its
incessant “sha-la-la” vocal melody and pre
dictable structure, is utterly disposable.
“Freak,” with its hooky guitar melody and
catchy chorus, is another obvious attempt at
radio play (and a successful one at that). It’s
not horrible, but all the same it’s achingly
familiar. “Spangled” is a modest, attractive
love song that sounds pleasant enough but
drifts by without leaving much of a mark.
VERDICT: “Teargarden by Kaieidyscope” is
an interesting concept for our oversaturated
digital age. Also, it’s cool that the fans can
hear it as it’s written. I just hope for the
remaining 36 tracks Corgan will choose a
musical direction that more accurately reflects
its inventive system of distribution.

through our offensive sets
and I think we definitely did
that in the second.”
Georgia opened the game
shooting 1-for-11 from the
field and for the first 10 min
utes, neither team reached
double-digit points.
The Lady Dogs didn’t
reach double digits until
nearly 12 minutes were gone
in the half.
They looked unlikely to
reach 50 points never mind
70.
And for a game that so
resembled a loss to USC just
eight days ago, the Lady
Dogs showed a lot of poise in
the second half by continu
ing to battle.
“We didn’t come out with
the intensity we needed and
we didn’t look like we had
any energy,” said freshman
Ronika Ransford, who scored
11 points in the game. “And
we wanted to come out
stronger in the second half
and we really wanted to take
heed to what he said. I think
[this win] was big because it
was a learning point. We’re
still trying to learn who we
are as a team and Coach
always wants us to get bet
ter and we took the USC loss
and compared it to the first
half of [Wednesday] and I
felt we really learned from
that.”
Georgia next plays Sunday
night when the team takes
on Georgia Tech in Atlanta,
a team it has beaten 27 of
the last 30 meetings.
