To be honest I didn't even notice it was Hilton on the inside cover. I think I've lost a little more of what little respect I still had for Corgan. This along with all the talk of Paris returning to the studio to assault our ears again...

Smashing Pumpkins to Fans, Indie Stores: Fuck You
A little over dramatic, but hey - it's a Pitchfork article.
In a world where NIN and Trent Reznor are GIVING their music away, this move by Billy Corgan is just odd.
Seems major retailers Target, Wal-Mart, and iTunes get a slightly different version of the album Zeitgeist with a different bonus track.
EVERYONE ELSE GETS THE STANDARD ALBUM WITH NO BONUS TRACK!
To legitimately get the whole thing you'd have to buy the album twice, and then download a track off iTunes (if they even let you buy it separately that is).
If you have to go through all that trouble, I'm sure a lot of people would have no problem downloading the whole thing for free from a torrent, and get all the bonus tracks.
Stealing wins when it's THAT much easier than buying legit...
And apparently Corgan hates indie stores...
