leak of the weekend
Apparently the legal wrath of Cash Money Records parent company Universal Music Group isn't too much of a concern for South Carolina mixtape DJ Chuck T, who said that he was responsible for this weekend's leak of Lil Wayne's The Carter III as revenge for DJ-disparaging comments Weezy made to the mixtape-centric magazine Foundation. (When the mag asked him about the first mixtape DJ he enjoyed listening to, Lil Wayne replied "I don't remember the mixtape deejay—tell this dude who he talking to. I'm not into all that shit. I don't know no mixtape deejay. I am the originator.") Carter's release date is next Tuesday, so the likelihood of Chuck T being the sole source of the leak is, to put it mildly, a little low. But that didn't stop him from sending an e-mail blast inviting his fans to drink from Wayne's 192kbps milkshake.

leak of the weekend
ARTIST: The Smashing Pumpkins
TITLE: Zeitgeist
WEB DEBUT: June 30, 2007
RELEASE DATE: July 10, 2007
SOUND QUALITY: 216kbps (VBR)
ONE-LISTEN VERDICT: There's no immediately apparent reason why Billy Corgan's vocals were recorded in such a way that they sound pancake-flat, but other than that, Zeitgeist is a solid if unspectacular run through the Smashing Pumpkins' existence, complete with snarling guitars, wispy tracks that recall Adore, and a nearly ten-minute blowout ("United States") that closes out with a pretty glorious, if bombastic, coda. The only real misstep? The unfortunate opening of "Starz," which resulted in a violent Hear 'N Aid flashback.
WHERE TO FIND THE BEST TRACK: Nobody's posted the pretty, "Tristessa"-echoing "That's The Way (My Love Is)" yet, but for some reason people seem to have cottoned to "Starz"; Onward Charles has the MP3. (You can also stream the whole album at AOL.)
