Likely Looks: Smashing Pumpkins - Thats The Way (My Love Is)

I had my doubts about the Smashing Pumpkins reuniting sans D'Arcy and James Iha. Now, its nowhere near as good as Gish, Siamese Dream or Mellon Colie (opinion right now...but after those records they sort of lost me even though I own them) BUT the new single for "Thats The Way (My Love Is)" has grown on me to the point of adoring the track.

Smashing Pumpkins returning has sort of been a big deal considering most 20 somethings fell in love with them over a decade ago and it was sad to see them end their run.

Smashing Pumpkins Unveil Tarantula

Well...the half Pumpkins (Billy Corgan and Jimmy Chamberlin) have reformed and are creating a stir with their upcoming tour dates and new single "Tarantula" that premiered on Los Angeles radio station KROQ today.

Now, first impression is that its a Queens of the Stone Age ripoff with bad vocals. Maybe it could grow on me? I am willing to give everything a second chance.

Watch me love it in two weeks...stay tuned.
