Day 17: The Simpson’s Saturday

The Smashing Pumpkins - Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness

This whole album is an undeniable masterpiece of the 1990s and one of the greatest double albums in history. I loved how they were willing to laugh at themselves on their Simpsons appearance around that same time. Something tells me he wouldn’t be up for that these days.

Maynard's side project is more prolific than his "main" band....or other side project. They have a new album coming out at the end of the month.

Forgot to post this yesterday! I really need to start posting them as soon as I am done listening. Anyway, this is one of the handful of albums that Brian May released as part of a solo project, while he was still with Queen.

While this episode itself (like many late period Simpsons episodes) is not amazing it contained a multitude of Pop Culture references that connected with me. Obviously the AC soundtrack but also the episode kicked off with a nice Hot Chip montage...

And I would also be remiss if I didn’t point out the David Foster Wallace alluding title they also managed to drop in a nice little DFW Easter egg...
