this is so embarrasing (lol!!) but tonite i had a huge boner for some Smashing Pumpkins.

Now, before you write me off as a dipshit, with poor music taste... allow me to elucidate.

Siamese Dream and The Downward Spiral and SuperUnknown invoke in me the summer of '95 better than any Sunburned 12" or No Neck album ever could. in fact... they not only bring back sonic memories, but other sensory memories such as olfactory memories (anyone else remember Great Buddha incense?)... beach memories... my first ever discman listening to Goodbye Yellow Brick Road with Brad Tricola at the Beach. With Grandma Morgan.

Siamese Dream and The Downward Spiral and SuperUnknown instilled in me... that's the wrong way to put it. if it wasn't for Siamese Dream and The Downward Spiral and SuperUnknown i wouldn't be listening to weird music. Underground music. "indie."

Too bad about Zwan and With Teeth and Audioslave. Fuck that. Siamese Dream was Loveless 101. i wasn't ready for Loveless at age 12. not by a long shot. i wasn't ready for This Heat at age 12. they were the very rebar in my musical skyscraper.

do you get what i'm saying?

Siamese Dream and The Downward Spiral and SuperUnknown bring back very strong memories of my youth which I will never experience ever again. They are either dead, or have become youth pastors.

i remember so strongly wanting to dress like those kids in the video for "1979" now guess what?

remember what you are experiencing right now is something you will want to desperately re-experience in ten years, so cherish this shit
