"today is the greatest, day i've ever known." - the smashing pumpkins

*

today is the greatest day i ever known.

i worship individualism, even as i rant on, this post, about the moments. 'The moments.' so there was a fight within, as a sublime in completeness amidst the true pumpkins heads...

SingFest: during setup prior to the smashing pumpkins' set. trademark bass lid of the new smashing pumpkins album visible.

    

  the smashing pumpkins.

the smashing pumpkins: rocking my universe in completion.

===================================*sp*=============================

myself & (michette) paid 350 for this. this moment. the moments. ten times more, and i'll still say i'll go for it.they came onstage about 12.10am. friday morning and rocked the night. started with Ava Adore. can't believed it sounded so beautiful and complete live, never thought i'll like that song in full.

     the set:
ava adore
today
bwbw
bleeding the orchid
song for a son

stand inside your love

tonight tonight


the lineup leading the smashing pumpkins were the usual rock acts. aussie, canadians, locals etc...
but man, credit to them all. wonder if they understood the grandeur of sharing the stage with the legend.

i rocked the night. crashed the crowds. skimmed the mosh pits. agreed in shouting with fellow pumpkin heads. shouted 'billy' till voiceless. sang every single song in their set. (yes including the new ones, i surprised myself.), jumped like never before, and even almost blackout. and above all, i held onto my michette's arms with my sticky drenched arms in tow, as we sang together with the smashing pumpkins.

today.
ranked high in my worthless history books. historic. like my first 24hours on earth. like my engagement to michette. like my first kiss. like watching the pumpkins played for the first time.


i guess, few might frown from the way i monolithically described the set. but the again, few know me enough perhaps. i'm marrying michette for sure, for even she said, after the set, as we walked to latte, hands entagled, legs wobbly, bade'd farewells to cobra&Co. in weaken state and husky voice: she has new found respect for billy corgan, and he was cool.


billy, thanks for the show. i doubt you even saw me, wearing the SP tee. but hey, hearts&respect. rock on, keep the smashing pumpkins going. the world needs pumpkins planet.

tonight, tonight.
