There's a tiny, tiny hopeful part of me that says you guys are running a Kaufmanesque long con on the board
Re: The Mighty Musical Observations Thread
I have a new coworker who claims them as her favorite band. I hadn't said a word because I was trying to be nice, but then she started making fun of me for liking Depeche Mode. So I let her have it.Rat Patrol wrote: ↑03 Jul 2018, 5:44amI heard Barenaked Ladies' "One Week" blaring over the PA in a Costco yesterday for the first time in like 15 years, and have never wanted to firebomb a Tim Hortons or airdrop a plague of diseased deer ticks on the Great White North so badly in my entire life. The "Chickity China the Chinese chicken. . ." verse has to be the worst lyric the English language has ever vomited up.

Since you are relatively new to the board, you haven't seen this little anecdote from a few years back:WestwayKid wrote: ↑03 Jul 2018, 6:38amSo...I'm coaching my son's little league game last night and every time I took my position as 1st base coach I got to listen to a group of parents sitting in the stands talking about the prior night's DMB concert. A few things I gleaned:
1) One can never, ever call him Dave Matthews. He is always Dave. You can also not refer to it as a Dave Matthews Band concert. It's just Dave.
Me: Hey, Liz, what are you up to this weekend?
Liz: I'm going up to Wisconsin? To see Dave? (she's an uptalker)
Me: Oh, cool. Is that the new guy you are dating?
Liz: Um, nooooo. Dave Matthews?
It's so true! Sorry you had to endure that.
Got a Rake? Sure!

I believe it's some sort of homage to that line from Busta's classic verse in "Scenario."Rat Patrol wrote: ↑03 Jul 2018, 5:44amI heard Barenaked Ladies' "One Week" blaring over the PA in a Costco yesterday for the first time in like 15 years, and have never wanted to firebomb a Tim Hortons or airdrop a plague of diseased deer ticks on the Great White North so badly in my entire life.

Look, you have to establish context for these things. And I maintain that unless you appreciate the Fall of Constantinople, the Great Fire of London, and Mickey Mantle's fatalist alcoholism, live Freddy makes no sense. If you want to half-ass it, fine, go call Simon Schama to do the appendix.

The sad thing is that I almost felt left out last night! Ha! It literally was people who went and saw Dave or people who wished they had seen Dave and wanted to know how the show was, but the truly funny thing was that most opinions I heard were negative! They definitely went on and on about the violin player no longer being in the band. I'm 41 - so if Dave was ever going to hook me - he'd have done it by now.

Right. You should have started talking to them about the Clash and that it all went downhill after Topper was sacked. <crickets>WestwayKid wrote: ↑03 Jul 2018, 10:13amBrilliant!!JennyB wrote: ↑03 Jul 2018, 9:34amSince you are relatively new to the board, you haven't seen this little anecdote from a few years back:WestwayKid wrote: ↑03 Jul 2018, 6:38amSo...I'm coaching my son's little league game last night and every time I took my position as 1st base coach I got to listen to a group of parents sitting in the stands talking about the prior night's DMB concert.

I was at a Sheetz (gas station/quick food/beer cooler type of place - they're actually pretty nice as I spend a lot of time on the road) in Kernersville, NC and the music playing over the speakers at the pumps was Bowie's "Boys Keep Swinging" - so I went inside and got a Sheetz loyalty card (people in the US will get it).
