creatively bankrupt newish chillwave/post-AnCo bands whose names are just '80s ephemera

Dale Earnhardt Jr. Jr.

Duran Duran Duran

apparently there's a newish D.C. band called Connect The Dots (La La Lala)

i mean it's bad enough just to have parentheses in your band name

are they playing here?

lol

is there a band called Karate Kid II yet? If not, dibs!

there's a p0rn star called April O'Neil. is she chillwave?

I saw Phillip Seymour Hoffman at a festival last weekend. How does shit like that even get booked on the same bill as Ecstatic Sunshine and These Are Powers?

lately it's come to my attention that there are DJs around here calling themselves Uncle Jesse and AC Slater. maybe DJ names are a whole different category from dumb band names though.

LOL my best friend made an RPG once on some RPG maker game on PS2 and made AC Slater one of the characters...he lived in the Bayside Wrestling Gym...Steve Perry had a House of Blouses, and Teen Wolf was a character too (special skill: ability to surf minivans)

that's weird when DJ Tanner is the obvious choice (ie one that's been used about a billion times already)

I'm really wondering if all of these bands are proving that everyone needs to spend a lot less time on the internet, myself included.

I once saw And Also The Trees supporting the Cure - real 80s pretension

Coolrunnings - "I Am You"

this is one big joke right? all these bands are the same person going through his 1993 tv guide to make up names?

What I want to know is which, if any, of these bands are actually p. good. Or are they all just lame?

com truise is amazing.

I'm going to start a band called the New New Kids Kids on the Block Block. AHhahahahahahahaaaaaaa.

xp: yeah, I really like that ep.

I like the Cool Running's guy's voice.

i almost feel like the opposite is more true, like you have to be kind of naive or out of it to think referencing a TV show you watched in middle school is still clever or funny and not just played the hell out

The Lacts of Fife

Illusion, Michael (an Arrested Development ref)

Bunnky Prewstarr

Soleil Moon Frye's Breast Reduction Surgery

Back to the Future Ride covering George Michael's "Father Figure" is like the top prize here.

The gift that keeps on giving

the cafeteria at the hospital where my wife and I had our baby is called "The Chill: A Place for Food and Art." I saw no art there.

probably not chillwave

I started watching Deadwood, saw the dude from Newhart, and figured that there had to be a band named Other Brother Darryl somewhere out there. And there is, but not chillwave:

a few weeks ago a college radio station was playing some song that I'd never heard and flipped out about. I called in, turned the radio down, and asked what the song was was and the dj was like "Oh that song you're asking about was by this new band _________, I'm playing ducktails now." And I was like "oh ducktails, that shit is pretty alright." Then I turned the radio back up and it was the theme song to ducktales.

basically all I'm trying to say is that this phenomenon fucked me

oops, wrong thread for above post

haha what was the right thread?

i put "chillwave" as a keyword in my online internet auction of first beat happening lp
