Last night, I took the time to rediscover an old favorite. This album made me fall in love with music. It was the album that changed my sixth grade mind. This album was by The Smashing Pumpkins and it was called "Mellon Collide and The Infinite Sadness". It was 1995, I remember watching mtv and hearing this song called "Bullet With Butterfly Wings." The visuals of the video wasn't like anything I seen before. The guitar and drums spoke to me. I became obsessed with getting this double album. So on Christmas Eve there it was on cassette tape, Smashing Pumpkins' "Mellon Collide and The Infinite Sadness".
I remember having this little crappy guitar and just trying to play along to this album. One day, I remember popping this cassette in my stereo and singing the song, "Muzzle" at the top of my lungs. There also many a night I had my walkman tucked in my arms and headphones on my ears, listening to "Stumbleine".
Every time I listened to this album I found a new favorite I was in love with. For about year and half this album was constantly by side. If it wasn't for this album I wouldn't have been into the bands that I'm into today. This album really shaped my love for music.
What's plugged in the headphones? Explosions In The Sky-"A Song For Our Fathers" from the album "How Strange, Innocence" (2000)
