The magazine Beatweek Magazine Names the Smashing Pumpkins as Independent Artist of the Year for its innovative way to promote your music freely over the Internet. Also include the separation of the stamp and the model of the music industry today.

He describes the magazine:

"We promise this is the first and last time we ever give our “Indie Artist of the Year” award to a world-famous band which has spent most of its existence on a major label. But not only have the Smashing Pumpkins parted ways with their label, frontman Billy Corgan and crew have walked away from the entire music industry model as we know it. Not only are they giving away every song from their new forty-four song album Teargarden By Kaleidyscope, they’re doing so as each song is finished. One MP3 at a time, the Smashing Pumpkins are helping rewrite the blueprint for being an indie artist".
