Smashing Pumpkins released an album for free way back in 2000, back when ipods and mp3s were still not mainstream enough for the media to make a big fuss. As a matter of fact, most outlets didn't even acknowledge or review Machina II because it wasn't released in a traditional album format. Go figure. http://www.metrochicago.com/pumpkins/ -D

No one in the band's camp has been less than honest about the giveaway being an experiment.

There are plenty of easy ways to take cheapshots at radiohead, do the fish in that barrel really need the extra shotgun blast?

Then have to go buy strings and such.

No, it means they're not following through on their verbal agreement with Idolator to stand-in for the word "pretentious."

">As Thom once sang, "Grow my hair...I wanna be Jim Morrison." But he might have been lying.
