i don't know her voice so i wouldn't know if it was her or not.

she sounded stoned or out of it though.

I know, I know, I typed that word out of reflex. it was an unsolicited call in to the station. I took em' when I worked college radio, and made em when my buddies were on the air doing their show, and even as a kid. It's like talking to a clerk at the record store, kinda awkward, but you want to talk despite that because there's so much you want to communicate, and find out.

She may have sounded a little spacey, and she was known for her drug issues, but honestly, being from around these parts, she sounded as sober as a lot of people I know from MO, IL, and IA. Sad to say, people from other parts of the country do seem to talk too fast for me to follow at times. It's weird to experience, but some cadences are just so different. Midwesterners talk notoriously slow I'm told. (with the exception of IN!)

Didn't strike me as particularly out there...
She's a bit spacey- but seemed to be more or less together... that day anyway.

she sounded how, from my impressions of her, she usually did, although maybe a little spaced out and slow, i dunno. i like how everyone overreacted before the clip was released, and they thought there she was going to badmouth corgan or something. all she mentioned about him was something about his singing pitch.

She sounded same as in interviews I've heard with her, only her voice is a little different now, lower. Shouldn't be a surprise that she was a little spacey given that she said a former BF died only a couple days earlier, was obvious (to me) still heavy on her mind. As far as fantasy rock musician crushes go, she was in my Top 5 back in her pre-junkie days so it's cool to hear how she's doing.

Quote:
I'm happy to finally announce the plans for the new Smashing Pumpkins album.

Recording began yesterday, September 15th, 2009 on the new record which will be entitled 'Teargarden by Kaleidyscope'. The album will feature 44 songs, 4 of which are now being recorded. My desire is to release a song at a time beginning around Halloween of this year, with each new release coming shortly after until all 44 are out. Each song will be made available absolutely for free, to anyone anywhere. There will be no strings attached. Free will mean free, which means you won't have to sign up for anything, give an email address, or jump through a hoop. You will be able to go and take the song or songs as you wish, as many times as you wish.

We will however sell highly limited edition EP's (of 4 songs each times 11), and details of how those EP's will be made available are still being worked out. Because the songs themselves will be free, the EP's will be more like collectors items for the discerning fan who will want the art itself, along with the highest possible audio quality available. The EP's will be more like mini-box sets rather than your normal cd single. We may also offer other variations for sale, say for example a digital single with a demo version of a song. The commitment that is most important is the one I'm making to you: that the music of 'Teargarden by Kaleidyscope' will be available for free to everyone. All 44 songs: free for ALL.

When the entire album is finished, it will be compiled into a deluxe box set which will also be made available for sale. Those who have bought the EP's need not worry, as the box set will not be a recompilation of the limited edition pieces.

The story of the album is based on 'The Fool's Journey', as signified in the progress of the Tarot. It is my intention to approach this by breaking down the journey of our life here into four phases as made by these different characters; the Child, the Fool, the Skeptic, and the Mystic.

The music of 'Teargarden by Kaleidyscope' harkens back to the original psychedelic roots of The Smashing Pumpkins: atmospheric, melodic, heavy, and pretty.

I already have 53 songs written for the record, so I am quite confident that I already have much of the material that I would need to undertake such an extensive project. I am very committed to seeing this album through to its completion and very, very excited about the prospect of delivering new Smashing Pumpkins music to you in a unique and exciting way.


I am REALLY REALLY excited.

^ he is really following through on his good will. I read the etfhtt.com site and oddly enough, I totally get where he's coming from, this release strategy is a good way to rebuild his base and minimize their cynicism. Good move, good move indeed. Almost too good to be true. Laughing
