That’s the Way (My Love Is) for this video!

The Smashing Pumpkins brand spanking new video for That’s the Way (My Love Is) was posted today on their MySpace profile (see link at right) and as embedded content at their official website here.
The black-and-white video has a distinctively vintage feel and features loads of drool-worthy cars, vintage postcards, motorcycles, and even Jimmy on a rocket ship. It’s not-so-vaguely-reminiscent of Jonathan Dayton and Valerie Faris’ Tonight, Tonight video, with that bygone-era sensibility and arty turn-of-the-century modernistic styling. Maybe their next set could be the Maison de Verre? Mmmmm.
Watch and enjoy.

Not bad at all…the first part reminds me of the pre-intraweb 1990s AT&T “You Will” ad campaign (http://youtube.com/watch?v=TZb0avfQme8).
