[Listen] Diamond Rings Debuts New Track "Runaway Love", Covers the Smashing Pumpkins

John O'Reagan, aka Diamond Rings, visited the studio of KCRW's Morning Becomes Eclectic earlier this week, where he offered up a number of new songs from his forthcoming sophomore LP Free Dimensional. Below, you can watch the replay of his performance of a new song titled "Runaway Love", as well as his cover of Smashing Pumpkin's "Disarm". Interesting side note, "Disarm" was the first song O'Reagan ever learned to play on guitar. Along with the video replay, you can stream the entire 45-minute session here.

Free Dimensional hits stores on October 23rd via Astralwerks.

[Listen] Smashing Pumpkins - 'Oceania' (Full Album Stream)

One week before its release date next week, the Smashing Pumpkins' new "album within an album" Oceania has been made available to stream in its entirety exclusively through iTunes. The 13-track effort was devoid of any singles because, as frontman Billy Corgan explains, the band wanted "the album to be heard as it was meant to be. The only way to make the case that every song on Oceania is worth hearing is to put your heart into the sequence as a cohesive whole."

Oceania is out on June 19th via EMI and the band's own Martha's Music imprint. Check out the full tracklisting after the jump.

01. Quasar

[News] Smashing Pumpkins Launch Record Club

Smashing Pumpkins Fans will be happy to hear that Billy Corgan has gone and done you a fine, fine deed. He's started up a Smashing Pumpkins Record Club which promises to give members "so much free stuff". Free stuff is good, right? Smashing Pumpkins can be good too, so this combination can only be a good thing.

If you head on over to the official SP site you can get an instant download of free early 8-track demo version of the Pumpkins track, “Drown”. For the small price of an email address you can download the track, it's not a high price is it? Go do it and while you're at it you can go watch Billy talk about the club over here. 

[Wacth] Smashing Pumpkins - "Owata" (Short Film)

The Smashing Pumpkins have let loose a Short film to accompany the track "Owata" which featured on their release Teargarden By Kaleidyscope. The 12 minute short film is kind of weird when placed next to the song and sees the life of a female wrestler going about her business. That's pretty much all I'm going to say about it. If you have 12 minute of your day free give it a watch, if not just go about your business and just listen to the track.

[Download] Smashing Pumpkins - "Owata"

Earlier this week, Smashing Pumpkins debuted a new track from their 44-track opus Teargarden By Kaleidyscope titled "Owata." The track debuted on LA Weekly's West Coast Sound Monday and was made available to download for free on Smashingpumkins.com the next day. You can check out the song in full via the player below and click here to head to the SP website to download it.

This track marks the 12th (10th made available to download for free) song from the TBK series and with more on the way, including the upcoming "album within an album" Oceania which frontman Billy Corgan announced on the band's Facebook fanpage at the end of April, you can bet that Corgan and the gang aren't going away any time soon.
