Obviously I didn't just jump on the DD&tAH bandwagon.

Will someone more sober than I am please start a poll for Donny Donald & the Assholes. Please.

First to write an essay regarding Sha Na Na comparisons to DD&TAH wins.

I ran into this dude who I hate for various reasons the other week and he was drunk and starting prattling on about all these bands he's going to be seeing. and he said 'have you ever heard of explosions in the sky?'. and I said 'yeah from that football movie soundtrack'.

Weren't DD&TAH once produced by Bruce Dunslap, the same guy who produced the legendary Dreamboat Gorilla LP "Long Way To The Top" from 1980?

ILX BREATHALYZER FAILURE BEEP BEEP YR COMPUTER WILL BE LOCKING UP IN 5 SECONDS

Yeah, he was at the controls on their eponymous EP in '87. It's out of print but I have a vinyl copy from the first run. "Reese's Peanut Butter Cups" is such a classic tune. Let's hold hands and listen to it.

Still waiting to see the reunion of Steve G01dberg and the Lesser Assholes.

i have more respect for people who like good popular music than people who like bullshit obscure music. for example, i'd prefer someone's favorite artists to be the Beatles, Bob Marley, Michael Jackson, and Jay-Z than say any number of nonsense indie bands.

"Reese's Peanut Butter Cups" rules. Have you got the 12" extended remix?

this thread was great for about the first 50 posts but then it got boring

matt h. and surmounter otm in those first 50

thank you, good night

xpost "m the g is an idiot" should quickly replace it.

Sleepytime Gorilla Museum is one of my favorite bands, not because they are obscure, but because they are AWESOME.

most accurate statement on ilx ever.

ka-pow! you wound me! care to elaborate, or is this just a half-arsed zing fling?

never mind. my cack-handed copying and pasting kind of proved your point for you.

"was there a botoh dancer at the show you're thinking of? They did a tour a few years ago that was 100% improvised with a dude in a cage."

Nobody in a cage that I remember, but it's been a couple of years and I am reasonably sure that I was drunk. About the only mental image I can pull is a black woman playing keyboards.

By now I kind of hope that it was a prank pulled by the band, but at the time I remember being fairly annoyed. "I AM A MEMBER OF THE LOCAL PRESS! YOU CANNOT DO THIS TO ME!"

I do remember that they'd sent me a promo before the show, and that the promo was pretty good. I think I'll go see if I can find them again.

Also Goldberg's pretty much right, aside from the (previously noted) ascribing it as a current phenomenon. But it's kind of weird for me to be around people like that who are WAY into such a tiny slice of music. Like, you know every word on the Arcade Fire album and want to talk about hidden meanings? But you can't talk about, I dunno, Talking Heads, and you get freaked out by the Cambodia Rocks albums? That just seems weird to me, though I understand that I've got a pretty terrible sample set for what's normal regarding music listening.

that is a different sleepytime gorilla museum (?!) then, because they have no keyboard player, and the only woman in the band is Carla Kihlsted, who plays violin.
