I played them in the car with my parents during thxgivingtime and my dad said he sounded like the CTD guy before the first song was over. Not before he said the dude mumbles too much, though.

BIRTHMARKS ALL OVER HER BODY

i am envious of dudes who can sing that low, i have always wished i had a rich low singing voice

i am probably going to buy that record player tonight. i am going to stay home and listen to records and watch the Wire and make sandwiches.

xpost, if i could sing at all, i could sing low

i guess i can sing low but i can't really project at all

low voice: not really worth it when you have to spend the rest of your life looking like this smug motherfucker

I saw them in concert once.

at least once a day i sing "stay up super late tonight, pickin apples, makin pies, put a little something in our lemonade and take it with us" in that guy's voice, it is fun. sarah can verify that i do this daily.

1. are they canadian?
2. are those two dudes related?
3. how can a band that smug exist?

Confirmed. (x)

(Smug)

I saw them at the Buffalo/Ft. Erie (?? help me, horseshoe) PEACE festival. That's right. Peace has come at last to western New York and Ontario. This led to my dad and sister having a minor obsession with them, and us hearing two of their albums ad nauseum during our travels in Australia. Yes the dudes are related and yes they are Canadian. And come on, far smugger bands than that exist.

Oh man, have I just come out in support of the Crash Test Dummies? I need to get back to work.

i think i owned the album with "mmm mmm mmm mmm" on it

on cassette tape

One of the things I kind of admire about M@tt Pr1est is that he doesn't really get embarrassed about stuff he used to like; in fact, he still passionately defends it. Like Crash Test Dummies.

Speaking of which, Nabisco just sent me a rough cut of his "Sl0w D0wn Ch1cag0" remix. Awesome.

I'm not really embarassed, I have just heard the absolute living shit out of CTD's first two albums and have no desire to ever hear them again -- just like the other few tapes we had in Australia:

Eric Clapton -- Unplugged
ZZ Top -- Greatest Hits
Frente! -- Marvin the Album

NB I will still listen and defend the music I was into at the time that my parents hated, namely Faith No More, NIN, etc.

jaymc, will you send me traxx soon? i'm finishing the digd0wn remix this week but i will have time soon.

Oh, I wasn't saying that in response to you, Dan. I feel like *I'm* too encumbered sometimes by what's cool or uncool.

Jordan, you should have them by tomorrow at the latest. Our new piano player (who's an electronic musician on the side) is handling this project, so he's going to get zip files made this afternoon. I'll e-mail you as soon as they're ready.
