Sony to Release Some New Michael Jackson Songs

Sony has just made a deal with Michael Jackson’s estate to release some of his unreleased material, since his contract with the label extends into 2017. However, there has been some recent findings according to the NY Daily News, that Jackson has actually recorded entirely new material back in 2007 that no one has heard nor has ever been released to the public. We wonder if this changes the deal between Sony and the late pop singer’s estate.

Jackson spent three months with Eddie (Angel) Cascio in New Jersey where he recorded 12 new tracks including “Breaking News,” “Burn Tonight” and “Water” – all of which can supposedly be heard in Jackson’s posthumous documentary film, This Is It.

Cascio’s family was very close with Jackson’s and the family still frequently visits the estate. They even left a special note in Jackson’s memorial booklet which read:

‘We promise to always remain “The First Family of Love. WE THANK YOU and will love you FOREVER and ALWAYS. ANGEL ‘Dr.Heat’ Cascio and the Cascio Family.”

The Smashing Pumpkins Anounce New Album Plans

Billy Corgen has admitted to the world that the Pumpkins are releasing a eighth album named “Teargarden By Kaleidoscope”.

The Album is intended to contain a whopping (and i’ll believe it when i see it) 44 tracks, with the intention of each one being made available completely free, to anyone, anywhere (as long as you have a computer i suppose). As well as all the individual tracks being released Corgen will be issuing 11 different 4 track EPs. The first single to be released off of this monster album will be some time toward the end of October.

Recording for the record(s) began recently on September 15th with necessary plans for a schedule to have the target 44th finished anytime soon, but the records will appear for the general public to listen to free of charge on the website as they’re competed one by one. Teargarden By Kaleidoscope will see the first set of releases under the name Smashing Pumpkins with only one original member. Corgan is joined this time by Jeff Schroeder, Ginger Reyes, and 19-year-old drummer Mike Byrne.
