The undisputed legends of the 90s alternative music scene The Smashing Pumpkins are set to reunite this year, with a live show tomorrow night at the Grand Rex in Paris the first step of that process. Their first live show in seven years, things, to say the least, should be phenomenal. The fact however that still only Billy Corgan and Jimmy Chamberlin are confirmed as playing is an undisputed cause for concern, as is the numerous friction-filled rivalries that have plagued the band since their formation. But hey, with an album to follow, lets not get negative about it all just yet.

Tonight, Tonight is without a doubt my favourite song by them, and to an extent, my all time favourite song ever. Soft pacing and with beautiful orchestral sections before plunging into the epic, headstrong and all-round massive chorus, clearly a pivotal moment in the history of the rock music single. The video that accompanies falls into a long line of fantastic promos by the band, with it's quirky and eccentric production, that, despite it's oddness, just seems oh-so damn fitting alongside the music itself. Argument over which of their video is the best of course is inevitable, with all of the band's promos having a unique sense of style alongside a very different avant-garde concept each time, but for me, hands down, Tonight, Tonight is the best example that the Pumpkins should be remembered for, and in regards to the coming shows and albums this year, further evidence that they are the band to watch for this year.
