Remember when people mistook Weezer for Wheatus and vice versa?

Fun times.

No, those were HORRIBLE TIMES.

Ironically, I covered that at open mic tonight.

I heckled Wheatus. After their second song I shouted "YOUR LIFE COULD BE GOING BETTER". Their goofy singer dude nodded sadly.

That is both an amazing story of rad past exploits and a sad, sad reminder that the music business is not always as glamorous as it looks.

You know, this reminds me of something. There's a taxi driver here in Tirana who plays the Backstreet Boys album "Millennium" every single time I ride with him.

Quote from: Vendetagainst on 28 Nov 2008, 10:49

Hanson?

I love how after they faded into obscurity after "MMBop" stopped getting airplay, and then maybe 3 years later they tried for a comeback with "This Time Around", which was played almost exclusively on the Disney Channel and, well, didn't really work. Especially funny since this is the chorus:

You can't say I didn't give it
I won't wait another minute
We're on our way this time around
You can't say I didn't give it
I won't wait another minute
We're on our way this time around
And we won't go down

And the sweet taste of justice was enjoyed by all as Hanson did, in fact, go down.

They're also fucking brilliant, as boy bands go.

P.S. I reviewed Local H's latest album and it was pretty badass.

They're terrible, they're new songs don't even have hooks.

Thrillho · « **Reply #220 on:** 29 Nov 2008, 07:46 »

'Patience' was great. And 'Shine' wasn't bad, shame it had to be fronted by Mark Owen, who I just want to punch in the face all day even more than Gary Barlowe. I've not heard anything from The Circus yet, though.

peach · « **Reply #221 on:** 29 Nov 2008, 10:51 »

has anyone said Bush yet?

Jackie Blue · « **Reply #222 on:** 29 Nov 2008, 11:26 »

Bush's first album had some good songs on it. They were certainly nowhere near as bad as, say, Silverchair.

My favorite sad reminder is when someone asks a musician if they mind taking a picture, and the musician doesn't realize that the person asking the question means "Can you take a picture of my friend and I, because I actually have no idea who you are and could not care any less." I've seen this happen on several occasions at shows up in Minneapolis; watching a pseudo-celebrity sheepishly stop posing and just quietly accept the camera never gets old. Good times.

You know, honestly, if people assume that you want them in your photo, they really deserve that kind of wakeup call.

Has anyone mentioned this band yet? I think the fact that it is actually often spelled '5ive' puts it at the top of my list

Good christ I hate people who spell numbers using the number itself as one of the characters.

I think that if I ever get bored working alone as The Starfighters, I will form a band and name it 8 T Th000usand just to be a cunt.

Also, I will assert that Savage Garden is the best pop band of the 90's, even though I am horribly horribly wrong.
I still listen to them. First album is pure pop music bliss.

Have you listened to anything off of Europop other than "Blue"? I doubt it. That album seemed otherwise pretty solid.

I will agree with your assessment of Savage Garden, though.

Thrillho · « **Reply #234 on:** 30 Nov 2008, 03:52 »

As boy bands go, 5ive weren't bad.

Yes, yes I have listened to the entire album. In fact, I bought the album and when I lost it I went out and bought it again.
It's solid, but I still assert that they are a pretty horrible band.

Have you heard anything from Silverchair after their second album? Daniel Johns turned into a Brian Wilson-obsessed orchestral pop "genius" (or so says the Aus music media.) Homeboy even works with Van Dyke Parks.

Spluff · « **Reply #241 on:** 30 Nov 2008, 16:07 »

Everything they released after their second album was even worse than the first two (which were bearable, if generic and a rip off of every other grunge band).

spoon_of_grimbo · « **Reply #242 on:** 30 Nov 2008, 16:54 »

ive never heard a full album of theirs, but silverchair's "best of" disc is pretty good when you're in the right mood. and the b-sides disc has a few crackers on it too.

Inlander · « **Reply #243 on:** 30 Nov 2008, 16:56 »

But is Daniel Johns still a dreadful lyricist?

Although in his defence his first side-project with Paul Mac did have the best name for any band anywhere, ever. (For the non-Australians in the audience, they were called I Can't Believe It's Not Rock.)

Tom · « **Reply #244 on:** 30 Nov 2008, 18:20 »

I actually find silverchair boring, incidently I find most bands hailed as the next silverchair equally as boring.

Inlander · « **Reply #245 on:** 30 Nov 2008, 19:04 »

I remember silverchair when they were the Innocent Criminals.

Also I was in year 3 in primary school with Ben Gillies. He was the class clown.

Also silverchair are a pretty average band.
