you never forget your first time

ahh...first post. i guess i should post some sort of brief intro...even though i suck at it.

intro.

over, thank you. now on to the business at hand as my subject for the first post is:

the smashing pumpkins.

the end is the beginning is the end

the beginning is the end is the beginning

my first favorite band, second if you don't cyndi lauper hehe. these tracks came from the "batman & robin" soundtrack (horrible fucking movie). i originally was going to post the underworld & moloko tracks as well, but time constraints left it to be these two. anywho, i remember being in high school when this track was released as a single and everyone went nuts for it. what makes this so amusing for me is the fact that everyone who loved it were the exact people who hated "eye" that was released on the "lost highway" soundtrack the previous year. this track is not that huge of a leap from "eye" as the electronic element is a still present but a bit more subdued due to presence of the bands traditional rock instrumentation.

the other half of this post is "the beginning is the end is the beginning". this one is nowhere near as fast and rocky as "the end...", but it definitely is more slow and moody in it's presentation. it's probably the more electronic of the two. even though the song is pretty much the same as the former, it's a completely different song with only the chorus remaining. i think i like this one a bit more than the other.

wow...i think i just noticed i said "presentation" and "instrumentation" a bit. i hope that doesn't make me sound pretentious as hell coz i seriously thought using words such as "like", "ya know", "radical" make me sound a bit stupid. anywho...that'll pretty much do it for today.
