So I was watching the watchmen trailer, and I realized, wow I love the song in it. It is "The Beginning is the End is the Beginning" by The Smashing Pumpkins. I did a little research and realized by the end of it "holy crap, I love The Smashing Pumpkins", a band which I previously thought I hated.
So it turns out that song is an alternate version of a song by them called "The End is the Beginning is the End", which was used in the movie "Batman and Robin", here's the video for that song.
Now, that song is also awesome. I was thinking "naw, they have two songs I like, big deal", but then I started digging deeper, and I came across songs like Bullet with Butterfly Wings, 1979, Zero, Ava Adore and The Everlasting Gaze. All of these were just ... just fucking great. Since this happened a couple of weeks ago I have yet to find a song by them I don't like.
However! The front man (Billy Corgan) is a total twat. I hate him so much, and yet, for some reason, I still think he's the greatest guy alive. He's so awesome. I'm confused.
Anyway, the point is, if you don't already love this band, you better. I find that they also tend to have really really cool music videos, like this one for "Tonight Tonight"
Damn it.

There is a law that says that you HAVE to be born between 1982 and 1986 if you want to like the Smashing Pumpkins.
Don't make me report you!
Wrong again dummy!
There was new legislation passed in 1998 limiting people born from 1988 to 1991 to liking ONE grunge era band, as long as it wasn't Alice in Chains.
It's just that most of them chose Nirvana.
Smashing Pumpkins are pretty fucking cool, I do not care how weird and easy to hate Billy Corgan is.
I fucked up your system cause I was born in 1992 and I am a total grunge head but I do not like Alice in Chains. Nirvana is my favorite fucking band but that is okay because I love them mostly for their B-sides that those kids don't know and probably would not like because there is no trace of pop so I can get away with it.
But yeah, Smashing Pumpkins have got some damn good songs. I love them.
I like your header also.
That's not even true and you know it.
Yours is a good header, but it could use some more yaranaika face.
You should update your blog. I don't want to have to scroll past two embedded youtube videos I haven't watched every time I want to check your comments.
