Smashing Punkpins Release Three Versions of Zeitgeist CD

Smashing Pumpkins - ZeitgeistThis is pretty lame...I remember back in the mid-80's (when LPs were pretty much the standard media), some labels tried releasing a non-LP bonus track on the CD and a different non-LP bonus track on the cassette. Well, twenty years later, the Smashing Pumpkins are bringing this tactic back.

The band's new CD Zeitgeist drops Tuesday. There is an exclusive bonus track on the Best Buy version, the Target version and the iTunes version.

Best Buy Exclusive Track - Death From Above
Target Exclusive Track - Zeitgeist (makes a heck of a lot of sense to have the title track only on the Target version)
iTunes Exclusive Track - Stellar

I thought that the first track from this release Tarantula was just "alright" so I am going to pass on all three versions.
