Back in 1996 when I was just 15 years old, I fell in love with the Pumpkins after hearing 1979 on the radio. My cousin Billy was a huge fan that I didn’t get to see much, and he made me a cassette copy of CD 2 on a random visit that I listened to non-stop in my walkman for the entire summer. I knew every single word to every song on that tape. Eventually I was able to save up and buy the entire album, and was finally able to listen to CD 1! I really think hearing an album that way made it extra special, and while Billy is no longer with us today – I think about him whenever I hear a song from MCIS. RIP Billy.
