Derek Allen - “1979” (Smashing Pumpkins cover)
Chill-wave + tr@p?? = amazing rendition of one of my favorites from the Smashing Pumpkins.
Aside from the sheer aural (hehe) pleasure I get from this cover, the beautiful and enduring relationship I’ve founded with this track, now over two weeks, ago has some greater meaning.
For one thing, this track knows how to keep a girl interested. We’ve got a 90’s track that’s reminiscing on the late 70s that is in turn being updated in the second decade of the 2000s which happens to be about the time that junk from the late 70s like polaroid cameras and synthesizers exist in the same space in pop-culture as future beats and…whatever these sprinkler sounding hi-hats are the hallmark of…what is it? hip-hop..I guess. And all of these feels are being sushi-rolled into a flavorful audio tour past every favorable experience I’ve had in the last two decades and the ones I imagine I would have had in the 70s.
Now I’ve forgotten the point to my ramblings. Anyway, all you need to know is that me and this cover are happy together and we’re very open and “forward thinking” when it comes to the terms of our relationship. So don’t be shy, peep a peep vv
I’m not weird it’s 5 a.m. Over and out.
