Beautiful. These covers always give me a new perspective on his lyrics. The distortion tends to take some of the emotion and darkness out of them.

No album, just a contest
written by Eye , February 10, 2008

I think there has been a misunderstanding. These submissions are not for an album, they are only for a contest. Please listen to all the covers, if you have the chance to vote for your favorite cover starting on February 14th, and ending on the 21st. The winner of the 'best cover song' portion of the contest will get the silver Zeitgeist, the special edition Zeitgeist with 76 page booklet, and the 7" vinyl singles for "Tarantula" and "That's The Way".

That's not to say that any of these covers would not be eligible for a possible CD in the future, but that is very unlikely at this point. At this point, Ghost Children 2 has a little under half of the copies left, so we can't even be thinking of another CD or say a 2nd edition with a Zeitgeist cover bonus track unless all the copies are sold out. There was only 200 copies made and it was released in November 17, 2006.

Nice singing, but overall i thought it was pretty boring. Just a wee bit too slow.

Simply gorgeous. It retains the emotional depth of Billy's songwriting and singing, isn't a carbon copy of the original yet doesn't stray too far outside Pumpkinland. This is my favorite one so far. Well done!

best

This should win.

Hello everyone. There have been several complaints about the voting system. And after further review, some flaws were identified. My colleague, the webmaster for ThePumpkins.net, Jay (MurderMcMurderson) has installed some new security measures to help ensure more fair voting. And to help things along, we are starting fresh, so the voting is as fair was we can get it from the start.

Please recast your vote if have not already done so. Before you vote, please thoughtfully listen to all the Zeitgeist covers, and choose what you feel is the best cover. In all honesty, this contest should be an indication of how many feel a given cover is the best cover, not who is the most popular band, artist, or person.

If you have submitted something for the contest, please encourage your fans to check out all the covers before making a decision. You are welcome to mention that you have a cover up for the contest, but I am imploring you not to blatantly tell people to go vote for your cover.

I know we cannot control what people to tell their fans on myspace or anywhere else, but I am asking you to do a favor to everyone involved, and be as fair and honest as possible. In the scheme of things, I would hope that people would get more enjoyment from winning fairly, knowing what people actually think of their cover, rather than distorting the outcome to win a few CDs and vinyls.

take care,
David
