Music Monday: Smashing Pumpkins



Once when we were in high school Johnny broke up with me.  I can't remember much about that time now, except that I was A WRECK.  Crying... sick... being totally dramatic and pulling totally dramatic teenager stunts.  We ended up getting back together on Halloween.  I can't say for sure that we listened to this song that night, but I would be surprised if we didn't.  We lived and breathed this album for years.  Anyway, remind me to tell you more about our awesome breakup sometime.  I ended up getting a death-threat out of the deal.  ;)

Happy Halloween!
xoxo Katie

  5. this was the first cd i bought, back when i was 11. it is still one of my absolute favorite albums. :) my four year old is really into police right now, and so we listen to 'lily' a lot, because he thinks it's a police song. :)

  6. Haha oh the memories of this song. I remember being a freshman in high school and for whatever reason you were the coolest person ever if you went to their concert when they came to town. My parents wouldnt let me go but my older brother did and I would always go in and steal his STP concert tshirt so I could wear it to school. Oh my, all the ridiculous things we do to fit in. lol

  11. LOVE the Smashing Pumpkins! I squealed a little when I saw the Pumpkins on your blog today, because I rarely find other bloggers who listen to the same bands that I do. (Maybe I'm just not looking hard enough!) :]

    Have a lovely Halloween, Katie!
    xo, Allie

  16. I actually got back together (after we broke up for a bit) with my now-husband on Halloween too! and I agree, although I was a wreck it was good for us.

    Happy Halloween!

  22. This is one of my favorite nostalgia albums - I must have listened to it a thousand times in high school, and it always takes me right back! This is also one of the greatest videos ever made - love, love love.

    I hope you had a great Halloween!

  24. Music that makes us nostalgic could be dangerous, but I'm so glad it worked out! I love this song. 1979 is my all time favorite song. Fantastic taste in music!! (or at least the kind i love, haha!)

  25. I had a boy named Jonny break my heart once. I need to hear this break-up story.

    P.S. Your latest post about your house almost made me cry. My throat still feels a little tingly.
