I have been a Pumpkins fan since I bought Siamese Dream at the Kmart across the street from my neighborhood when I was 15.
Also, I have a fond memory of preordering MCIS from the Planet Music that was next door to my first job when I was 16.
I drove to the Planet Music at 11:30 pm and anxiously waited until midnight when they released the double CD.
The album got me through my parents divorce when I was 17 and defined some of the happiest times of my life in my late teens.
I had every poster from the MCIS era (and previous eras!) plastered over all of my bedroom walls along with every magazine cover of SP. My first vehicles license plate was SP Billy in 1995.
25 years later and I am still waiting up all night for new releases just from the comfort of my bed with phone in hand 🎃
Smashing Pumpkins FOREVER
