The Smashing Pumpkins recently released a new single called “Beguiled.” Anytime they come out with new music, there’s always some part of me that hopes it will be as good as the stuff I grew up on, despite not likely much of anything they’ve put out over the last decade-plus. Alas, after giving it more than a few plays, it just doesn’t do it for me. It’s a real shame too, because there was a time when even the Pumpkins’ B-sides were better than a lot of bands A-sides.
