I can’t believe The Stranger is hating on the new Smashing Pumpkins song, “Tarantula”!!! This is very likely my favorite Smashing Pumpkins song since Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness. (Yes, I did love some of the electro-tinged stuff from Adore, but MCIS has always been my favorite…)

The song totally reminds me, in fact, of a cross between the MCIS song “Bodies” and the MCIS outtake/jam/collage “Pastichio Medley” from the “Zero” single.

Anyway, I’m loving it, and if this is a sign of what’s to come from their new album, I’m pumped.

Search for “Tarantula” on the Hype Machine and you are sure to find the mp3 somewhere…
