I think many of you have heard of "Foamy The Squirrel" cartoons on ill will press website and floating around on the web.
This time on the "Topical Rant" Foamy tells us the many different versions of Zeitgeist...
I found a link on youtube to make it easier rather than giving instructions: http://youtube.com/watch?v=J_iNPb1Qb74

Enjoy?

haha!!! still laughing, that was hilairious, good points too

that video was crap, it was right about singles though.

they're still making these rants?

good grief

I love Foamy

Meh, i have always found these a little silly, anyone could make that.

haha
Silly but he does have a point.

Yes the annoying Squirrel does have a good point , Case in point I have both of the Bourne movies on DVD (great films and cant wait for the new one) but what do I see in the local virgin megastore today but new extended versions of both those movies oh Jebus H Christ / . (the examples of this will be endless im sure). Yes this sucks, I have the Death From Above track Tarantula single and im sure ill get the other tracks in time 'some how or other'.

At times I get rather annoyed with Foamy's rants, but at times he does say certain things that amuse me.

I don't know. I've never really considered Foamy the squirrel a reputable source of musical criticism. But, then again, I guess this isn't about music so much as marketing.

I bought my Zeitgeist at Target for $9, while Walmart (who only carried the standard 12-track version) was selling their copies for $12-$14 each. It's silly - if this was a ploy meant to extort money from naive fans, why am I paying less for the special album? Either the Pumpkin's label is staffed exclusively by the mathematically retarded, or the band released the album without the intent of forcing fans to go out and buy it's twins - knowing, as anyone who's been in the business for a while should know, that the fans will download the bonus tracks online, anyway?

The artistic value of my album wasn't decreased because of the purple cover or the spectacular bonus track - in fact, it may have increased. After listening to Zeitgeist a few times, I couldn't even imagine the album without the title track as it's closer. It just seems "right", you know?

I'm satisfied with my Target Zeigeist. It makes me feel special.

He makes very good points. The multiple versions pissed me off. That said, I bought the special booklet version of Zeitgeist and have magically acquired the 3 "bonus" tracks for free via some friendly woodland-loving elves. Perfectly legal, in elf law at least.

But seriously... different version for different bonus tracks? Either put them all on the album or save them for a b-side compilation. Different coloured covers? F**k off!

Same here.
While I was camping outside Virgin Megastore at the ass crack of dawn so I could get it before anyone else, I woke up my poor cousin so he could go get me the Best Buy version. Which only has Death From Above on it. I'd rather have Zeitgeist on it. AANNND...due to my internet ignorance I still can't get Stellar. Not to mention Target doesn't really have any good CDs, they don't have any more Target versions of Zeitgeist or any other Smashing Pumpkins CD.

the target version has zeitgeist which is the coolest of bonus tracks. would love to hear it in dallas!
