Blowing my mind

I was at a friend’s house. While he was waiting for his dinner to finish, I was in his room listening to his stereo. We were 15 years old in 1996. I knew the Siamese Dream album very well and the cuts that were shown on MTV from the Mellon Collie album. But I was tempted to play the record that my friend had. He had bought headphones that were great. I put them on. Press play. I closed my eyes while the instrumental track 01 played. And like a fist bump began JellyBelly, which is the next track. It was those guitars that sounded in stereo, the bass hit my body, the drums moved my limbs, William P. Corgan’s voice floated in those waves of aggressive sounds. It was a magical moment.
