The Smashing Pumpkins, ok The Corgan Pumpkins, have released the third song from their next album Teardrops by the Kaleidoscope.

The song entitled A Stitch in Time can be previewed below. However, I am warning you, it is not very good. Long gone are the halcyon days of Zero, Today, or even Tarantula. All we are left with is Billy Corgan's playful studio whims. It really seems like he is just saying "I am going to write a middle Eastern influenced song." Out pops the song A Stitch in Time.

You can be the judge below, but here is what Billy had to say about this track:

"The song came in during a stream of consciousness moment while sitting backstage at a Pumpkins concert in those wee, still hours between soundcheck and the show. The lyrics came just as surprisingly fast as the music, and the whole process took about 20 minutes," mainman Billy Corgan said in a question-and-answer session e-mailed to the press. "I recorded it on my phone, and so for a year it was the only document I had of the song. But the song stuck with me and I put it in my back pocket as something worth coming back to later." Corgan calls the track a protest song. "What I am protesting I'm not sure but it has something to do with real inner freedom and the consequence of what it means to be free," he said.

You can sample the first track on our website at this location. But again, be wary, this song also stinks. At least that one is free.
