Today’s threads took me to my happy place, considering that I was a music journalist for years in the 2000s and spent a lot of time at concerts or on Spotify in my spare time.
All three of the ‘broken’ bands here have made it playlists of mine; I never got to see Talking Heads, but have seen David Byrne live, play their songs and can recommend that anyone who gets the chance do the same.
Smashing Pumpkins also plays a role in one of the greatest of all Simpsons episodes, Homerpalooza, where the band’s frontman introduces himself with the words ‘Billy Corgan, Smashing Pumpkins’ and Homer Answer ‘Homer Simpson, Smilingly polite.’ It works better in context, honest.
