New Radicals: C/D?

-- Andrew Frye (andrewjfry...), August 3rd, 2003."

oh man...I have a very distinct memory of being in a car with my brother the first time either of us heard it on the radio, and we both said "is this World Party?"

singer/songwriter said he wants to focus his efforts on producing. "I view myself much the same as a just-getting-started Babyface," he said in a statement, referring to the producer of such hit acts as Mary J. Blige, Whitney Houston, Boyz II Men and Madonna. Alexander said he will produce an album, due in September, by singer/actress Danielle Brisebois, who was a member of the New Radicals. "Over the last several months, I'd lost interest in fronting a one-hit wonder to the point that I was wearing a hat while performing so that people wouldn't see my lack of enthusiasm," Alexander said.

It suddenly occurs to me I don't know if I've ever heard this song. I THOUGHT I did.

Not EVERYTHING everything. ;-) Anyway, I know I must have, it's just not sticking in the memory.

The album's first track is good, but it rips off Depeche Mode's 'Just Can't get Enough', probably winkingly. I picked it up a few months back for 2.99; definitely worth the price.

"If I could ask god just one question...why arn't you here with me...TONIGHT!?"

shivers and goosebumps all around

The 2005 dance remix of "You Get What You Give" is teh suck though.

Don't hold your breath. Oh wait, on second thought, do hold your breath.

And the irony of the message of the lyrics in such a mass-marketed song.

eh?

know who said that? someone on telextext that's who said that.

There is a book about that band’s rise & fall, by the drummer; it (naturally) discusses “Closing Time” at length: https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/168438/so-you-wanna-be-a-rock-and-roll-star-by-jacob-slichter/

I appreciate this.

I showed my dad this performance and he laughed and laughed. We're going to listen to this album again on my next night off.

i... didn't foresee this song being like a dad / son thing?

My dad liked "You Get What You Give" as well. I'm pretty sure I remember him thinking it was Mick Jagger at first.

Yeah, I can hear that.

I thought it was World Party.

...
nothing
...

no way is the vocal on "Got You Where I Want You" generic --- dude is giving his all to a very specific imitation of Chris Cornell

and somehow, it rules

Maybe it's an age thing? I'm 31, and my dad is 70. I definitely think he thought it was older than it was, and so did our radio station, because it was on the classic rock station when he first heard it when it came out.

Isn't the whole reason they reformed for the inauguration that the song was a father/son thing for Joe and Beau Biden?

Great reason, honestly.

I hated this song at the time, but that's because I hated most things at the time-- I was a fat queer kid who was really into hardcore and crustpunk.

Now I think it's pretty good.

And I'm 36, fwiw

Feel like the inaugural performance was really missing the piano. It was too quiet. That song is all about the piano to me.

yeah it was definitely low in the mix

so this had to have been the most dad rock version of this track -- at least live

not that the world is clamouring for more controversy, but totally omitting the last part was lame

woulda made the song sound even more dated.

Beck? Hanson? Manson?

throw in a Everlast ref and we complete the cycle

so, not necessarily singing it word for word, but changing it up to fit with the times while still keeping the same intent

but considering this was a song beau used to listen to a lot, maybe biden had other reasons to have them perform

pretty sure 50% of my love for that song is dedicated to the fact of my upbringing and seeing that inside-out Mickey Mouse shirt I used to wear when I was 7.

Let’s talk Fuel.

woulda made the song sound even more dated.

yeah, keeping the bit about the US' twisted health insurance system directly leading to preventable deaths would have totally sounded out of date

I was referring to the musician part of that coda but i take your point

Feel like the inaugural performance was really missing the piano. It was too quiet. That song is all about the piano to me.

Old Gregg was weird to see, his front teeth are still cute, but:

Yeah, "You Get What You Give" was used in an episode of Glee, but that almost a decade ago.

THIS is what made me ponder my own mortality, holy fucking shit

I just came here to make a point about the bucket hat— my friend's kids who are in high school have been rocking these. The kids are into late 90s fashion/shit from right before they were born, from what I can tell.

I am about Brian Johnson's hat
