I don't know this guy, but this remains the funniest lede I've ever read in my life. It's been five years and I still think about it.

Maybe a rainy NYC Friday in the office is grounds for listening to Mellon Collie...

I like Smashing Pumpkins, but it's gotta be a serious liability that even Billy Corgan can't listen to his own voice for long enough to get through Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness.

Not ham-fisted. So difficult. Most attempts like this are aw-kward/ful.

Great song, tho.

(don't) tell me I'm the only one (don't) tell me there's no other one (don't) tell me I'm the only one around

It's the little things.

I remember that one, too. Anecdotally, I would have totally gone had Billy Corgan not turned into a far right loon supporting conspiracy batshittery.

🤣 earworm now 🤣

An absolutely S-tier bit of journalistic shithousery. I love it.

This brings me a joy I can't quite put into words
