Everything - Hooch vs. LFO - Summer Girls vs. Crazy Town - Butterfly

SHAME that he should've been feeling etc

secondhand embarrassment is real

Everything Fatboy Slim has released under his moniker post-YCALWB has been bad to terrible

certainly didn’t mean everything he’s every done

It may be a truism that if there is a quasi-official name for fans of a given band, the band in question is a bad band that should not have fans.

always wondered if fatboy slim is actually fornicating up there or just emphatically in heaven

a second grader definitely lip synced 'praise you' at the school talent show that year, and it was extremely painful.

There's never a bad time to repost this video but because it seems to capture a vibe intrinsic to the broader discussion itt

That vibe being something akin to 'the cultural interests and practices of people who have wasps in their brains'.

I posted that video on facebook when it first came out and my father-in-law replied "What was that, a bunch of gay guys?"

And did you reply 'no, it's a bunch of Three-Elevengers'?

I replied something like "I hadn't considered that they might be gay. I just thought they were dorks!" to which my FIL replied "so did those two guys in the window."

my favorite Fatboy Slim thing is that insanely loud accelerating noise on "The Rockafeller Skank" which still stops the room cold

Mea culpa: apparently 311 fans are known as 'Excitable Ones' or 'Excitables' for short.

Of course they have a name. Of course. Of course.

Wow! That's news to me.

311 vid is right up there with the animal collective wedding video

311 member, "P-NUT", lives in town. my 311 loving family member was excited to meet him by chance at brunch on a visit.

I'm sorry, the Animal Collective what

It looks like one of those things from a kids movie where their little brothers hypnotize them and plays it during their big presentation to the board of directors, causing them to suddenly lose control and start doing that and it's so embarrassing but there's nothing they can do until the song stops. Then they get fired.

^ any excuse to post

oh my god

Doesn't work for me?

somewhere nearby a field of cows is stampeding, attempting to save their wounded brethren

this is my first time ever hitting Flag Post

evan plug "Michael + Heather's Wedding! (My Girls - Animal Collective)" into YT and dance along

Okay, that

Um

Ah

What?

Ohh, wait...that's supposed to be dancing?

Have they seen dancing before?

Apparently they have seen elephants before

Michael, you're my dearest friend, and I'm so honored that you chose me as your best man, but no. Absolutely not.

"I have a question about this song; would you like for me to sing it, moan it, or mewl it?"
"... Could you do a combination of all three?"
"DONE AND DONE"

correct me if I'm wrong but isn't My Girls supposed to be about little girls, like daughters. or is it just about adobe slaps

Where's Taylor Swift when you need her?

forgbs its about not caring about material things, like a social status

it's about his partner and his daughter

I am giggling hardcore at "adobe slaps"

ah got it. I remember someone once describing what it's like to hear someone speak to you right after you've had a stroke, where you recognize someone is speaking English to you but you can't parse any of the words, and I'm like yeah I know that feeling I've heard Panda Bear sing

really should be a "steve martin's christmas wish" version of that song

and that version should have been the one they made and released

The purview of this thread keeps expanding in ways that are surprising but also most welcome.

Oh wow, people actually like "Hooch"? You learn something new every day.

When I think about jam bands I immediately think about what their fans do for a living. I know what a cappella fans and metal fans and EDM fans and Jimmy Buffett fans do. I have no idea where jam band fans work.

I think they organize and staff jam band festivals, primarily. With a little composting consultancy on the side, maybe.

on a board where people enthusiastically and unironically embrace fatboy slim, third eye blind, and limp bizkit

sounds like budo jeru knows what is what, but they don't know what is what, they just strut


Everything Fatboy Slim has released under his moniker post-YCALWB has been bad to terrible

no he got good again after he went to rehab and stopped releasing albums! Eat Sleep Rave Repeat and Boom Fucking Boom and Where U Iz are dumb fun bangers, and Get Naked is ...fine.

before this thread I had never heard of Hooch, and I have been maintaining a boycott against Summer Girls for two decades, to be upheld until they get their own name

so, Butterfly

Okay, having now done some cursory research on the band Everything, I find that I was correct in my assumption that they are (ARE, not was) a group of college buddies. However, I was incorrect in my assumption that this song could only have been written by dudes sittin' around the quad, killin' time between devil stick sessions, because 'Hooch' is from their fourth album, released nearly a decade after the band's formation.

It's sick and sad and weird but I really need to hear their early work now.

I forget what college scene Everything came from, but I had a friend who attended that college, and made me a mixtape which included a few tracks from one of their first release.
One was called "SLWB" which stood for... well, I'll just let you listen to it, because it's on youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9GclzttprPU
(i'm not even going to pretend that 20-year-old me didn't love this jam)
