Listening to the radio and they just played Today by Smashing Pumpkins. That song puts me in a good mood every single time. Makes me sad to think how good they used to be and how far they've fallen since then. This new incarnation of the band, which is just Billy Corgan and Jimmy Chamberlin, just isn't cutting it. Without James Iha, it's not Smashing Pumpkins. It's just Billy Corgan and some drummer.
They were probably my favorite band for quite a few years. Siamese Dream and Mellon Collie & The Infinite Sadness were two of my most favorite albums. Nowadays, not so much. Still great albums, but my tastes have changed. Though I don't think I'll ever tire of certain songs. Too bad they didn't have the comeback that everyone was hoping for. But I think their moment is the sun has passed.
Anyway, here's a taste of what used to be... Happy hump day!
