Like previous user mentioned, Machina II wasn’t commercially released. It’s always been available online per BC’s instructions. Here’s a good link that includes cover art, more information, and the album itself:

Machina II

As far as Zeitgeist goes, if you buy a copy online somewhere, try to find the silver Best Buy edition. It has some great bonus tracks and a making-of DVD.

For example, one like this.

Wish I could be discovering these albums for the first time. They’re among my favorites. Enjoy!

Edit: Oh, and as far as “why” Zeitgeist isn’t available anywhere, BC said something on Instagram along the lines of, “No one appreciates it now, so I’m waiting til people come around to it.” Very much paraphrasing here, but that was the idea. Bottom line, it wasn’t a successful album, so he’s crossing his arms and punishing any new fans like yourself who might want to delve further into his discography. I think he’s trying to “George Lucas” the Pumpkins legacy, so to speak, but it’s a great album.

There are two releases that have shared a similar fate to Zeitgeist: the American Gothic EP and his solo album, TheFutureEmbrace. If you haven’t heard those, I recommend them as well, particularly TheFutureEmbrace.

I used these at my last concert and was fairly close to the speakers. I was fine afterwards. Reusable too.

Just found it on amazon

https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B000Y1H7VA/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1520296264&sr=8-1&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_QL65&keywords=zeitgeist+smashing+pumpkins&dpPl=1&dpID=51fBSS%2BhEtL&ref=plSrch

The way I see it, when Iha left, he did what he should have done if he was unhappy: take your Pumpkins earned notoriety and segue into a successful solo career and show that Billy Corgan what he's missing out on by smothering Iha's talents. We don't have access to sales figures, but Iha's latest solo record "Look To The Sky" has 5 customer reviews while Oceania has 186 reviews. My point is not to come down on Iha, but to show that any expectation he had of having equal footing with Corgan wasn't realistic.

Like others have said, it is "The Boy."

If you just couldn't place where you heard the song, you have your answer. If you couldn't place it because you never got around to buying that particular b-side album, you can find the song on the Aeroplane Flies High Set, which is going ridiculously cheap right now on amazon at $15 for mp3s.
