disarm//smashing pumpkins

I used to be a little boy so old in my shoes// and what I choose is my choice, what's a boy supposed to do

This Pinkpop rendition of Smashing Pumpkins performing Disarm is so beautiful and wistful. I love how Billy Corgan's laughing through the chorus when the crowd is singing completely off pace from what he's trying to sing. Learn the chords to this song here.

Bettie Serveert "Under the Surface"

This video of Bettie Serveert playing at the Pinkpop festival brings up a surge of 90s nostalgia. I haven't listened to this band since I was four-ish, when my parents were really into them and I thought that it was just one girl who was actually named "Bettie Serveert." Even though I was so young, this music still brings back vivid memories of listening to Lamprey driving around Calgary with my dad. 

This beautiful rainy day in Landgraaf feels so much like the atmosphere of today; rain and dark grey skies. This would have been such a good show.

Also: I love the flowered shirt that the lead guitarist is wearing.
