Connelly ... he was like Kevin Eubanks without a microphone, except he'd actually talk to say a few words that weren't "ha ha" here and there. the other two were at least saying something funny once in a while.

and poortheatre, I am so not on the program board. I only heard about this on monday from some people handing out flyers at Cantor. If I were on the program board, I would've have a lot more shows in the Spring then these fuckers. although i must say that it would be very funny/interesting regardless if we have met.

At our last show, in front of a sold-out crowd no less (we got a spot opening for Robyn Hitchcock), our singer delivered this bon mot:

"Yeah, so we're from New Brunswick. New Brunswick ... there've been a lot of rapes there lately."

Our bass player (trying in vain to save face for us): "Yeah, there's a lot of crime where I live. Someone just got stabbed around the corner from me."

Dudes were funny. They did not rock appropriately, though. Connelly contributed useful things to the 7% of the set that had rhythm, and absolutely nothing useful to the quieter jammy parts (which mostly sucked anyway.)

FORCEFIELD IS BROKEN UP NYU DOUCHES

nyu douches are people too

The only time they were worse was in WORCESTER, MA during the OOPS TOUR. But they normally rule, so, you know. And the JOKES were MOSTLY FUNNY. It's like like someone wrote a play about the Hanson list.

Calvin Johnson... I sold all my Beat Happening records the day after spending time with him (not my choice).

yea, i knew steve. he meandered into my room a couple of times and said what's up, but we never really talked that much. i'm still pretty good friends with your old RA, so I was kind of involved with all that. i also know you through a certain ILM poster (rockaction) that also lived on my floor last year and has the same name as a character in the Cosby show and often wears Stooges shirts with the sleeves rolled up (at least, he used to, before the hipsters with their felt blazers got to him). know who i'm talking about? you all used to hang out on the roof. e-mail me if you wanna talk some more or whatever. if you're in music, you probably know friedman and cole, too.

sorry everyone else that's reading this thread :)

Since babyalive hasn't been in this thread yet, I'll speak for her and say Julian Cope.

7 years pass...

Hard to phrase exactly what I'm talking about here but this is the thread for bands whose image/name/logo as seen on tshirts, posters, etc has taken on a life of its own to the point that you could see someone wearing this band's shirt and you wouldn't even necessarily think the person was a fan of the band. Brought to mind by some reality show douche wearing a Miles Davis tee, but like no one thought Rachel from Friends was a big MC5 fan because she wore the tshirt; High school kids wear AC/DC and Motorhead shirts, but do they actually listen to the band?; the Misfits logo has been ubiquitous for some time...
