FABTV: Smashing Pumpkins "Disarm"

July 22, 2007

Does this video give anyone else chills? Not only is this song powerful, but the video is beautiful. It takes you on a dizzying black and white voyage through angular shingle rooftops dispersed with cameos from the totally unique members of the alt rock band. I think it's somewhat of a music video masterpiece. How cool is bassist/vocalist D'arcy Wretzky's braided pigtails and textured tights? Very early 90s, very cool.

Also, I may be on my own here, but does anyone else think that Billy Corgan's crooked teeth are sexy?!

Yay for vintage Pumpkins! I love Billy Corgan's lyric-writing abilities and this song is really one of those classics.

Beautiful indeed. And such a moving song...Btw, no offense to Melissa & Ginger, but I always thought D'arcy was the coolest. And I miss her.Anyway, can't wait to see the new line-up play live in France, in August!!! *_*
