Smashing Pumpkins frontman Billy Corgan has spent the last three years slaving away at a massively insane internet-only, 44-song concept record, called Teargarden By Kaleidyscope. That album now includes an “album within an album” called Oceania, which will be released via traditional record-label channels, with EMI on June 19. Check out the epic title track below.
This morning we told you about Deadmau5 taking on Madonna via Twitter. He mistook her asking the crowd at a recent concert if “they’ve seen Molly?” for disguised drug use promotion. It turns out she was actually referring to one of her new singles, “Have you seen Molly”, and took to Twitter to correct the electro artist. She even used a pic! Awkward.

Toronto’s Deadmau5 has been blasting Madonna on his Facebook page for asking folks at the Miami Ultra Music Festival if they’ve seen “molly,” which is young-person speak for MDMA. Deadmau5 moved from slating Madonna’s embarrassing use of drug slang to a spiel about equating electro with drug use – with a couple of tasteful expletives thrown in.

Inevitably, at some point during reality TV talent show auditions, a heavyset and/or ugly contestant will walk onto stage and be greeted with ridicule and laughter.

Bruce Springsteen is a musical legend. There’s no denying it – he’s got the stats to prove it. But what is he doing at a technology conference? Well, in a time of change, when music is changing – what advice can the digital generation take from rock and roll?

Courtney Love, aka “90’s Lindsay Lohan”, has lashed out at the producers of last year’s The Muppets movie for letting the titular stars perform a rendition of Nirvana’s “Smells Like Teen Spirit” without her permission, saying that they have “raped Kurt’s memory!” More of Courtney’s crackie craziness, plus the song itself, after the jump!

English heavy metal band Motörhead has launched a line of bottled alcoholic beverages, because that’s just what you do when you’re a band of a certain age. There’s Motörhead Vodka which, sure, heavy metal, makes sense, and they’ve also released Motörhead Shiraz. Because I guess that’s heavy metal too.
If you didn’t manage to get a load of the 2012 Argus Cycle Tour Campaign Song, which was branded by an apparent majority as both “revolting” and “embarrassing,” it’s too late I’m afraid – they’ve pulled it.
