Myk Murphy:
yeah, total 1 hit wonders... in the US, anyway. did they have some sort of secret following in the UK?

by the way, froupie, i finally got to hear franz ferdinand's tune off their website, and they rock.

I think they were more of a hit in England, I don't know. I don't remember anything big about them here but the way they were talking like they were the next Beatles. Really funny.

Myk Murphy:
clearly, they ate plenty of nuts to get hair that shiny. (insert your own follow-up "nut" joke here.)

the velvet lounge is a total hole, but it has a pretty good rep around here. try for the black cat. neither place is as good for your sound as iota, however. you really should play there. alt-country lives in arlington, not the district.

Chewing Wax:
I don't have much to say about music, so I thought I'd say that. It's all I got.
(Tue Feb 3, 2004 - 10:20:41 am)

Froupie:

(Tue Feb 3, 2004 - 10:21:06 am)

Chewing Wax:

Chewing Wax:

He's one of my favorites. I listened to him a lot in highschool when this came out.



I recorded it off the radio. The other side was Get The Knack!. That was good tape.
(Tue Feb 3, 2004 - 10:34:44 am)

Myk Murphy:
heh heh, speaking of tapes, i've recently rescued a whole box of great cassettes from a closet in my parents' house. mid-80s to early 90s, most of it. all in very good condition.

Chewing Wax:
That's so cool.

I have a box of recordings of my old college radio shows somewhere. You can tell I have a huge wad of Kodiak in my mouth most of the time.

Yikes

Myk Murphy:
we made a few tapes of some of our college radio shows. i sounded like such a dork sometimes, but at least the chatter was kept to a relative minimum, and the music was good. we played a lot of janet jackson and boy bands.
