…REALLY shitty bands from the mid-90s like cracker?
they are one of the most irrelevant bands ever, but amazon sent me an "alert" that their DVD (i shit you not) is coming out and it is 10% off!
please name bands from that "genre."
i'll go with "candlebox." i just laughed to myself while writing that name.

Cracker's "Eurotrash Girl" is a great tune. I would't call them "REALLY shitty".

well bands like candlebox, stone temple pilots, sponge, got called Scrunge. But, I don't think Cracker fell into that category just basically alt-rock and similiar to Better Than Ezra.

Oh,to be 16 again……ever hear of Camper Van Beethoven??…well,that's David Lowery's first band……and both bands are far from "really shitty"…….you must be thinking of your former favorite band….Marcy Playground…

well, maybe "REALLY shitty" bands is my uncreative way of saying, "terrible bands that sold tons of albums, usually of one album, with one FM-friendly cut, never to be heard from again, ever." that is, until today, when I received the offer of the year for the cracker dvd.
kosmo, better than ezra really hits the nail on the head.

Are you serious??? Sure, their output in the mid 90's was questionable, but they're a classic American punk band. No one lame hit single would outdo years of classic albums. Meat Puppets II and Huevos are two of my favorite albums ever.

I got that same e-mail from Amazon. I would buy the DVD if it included footage of Charlie Nakatestes getting brained with a beer bottle.
Camper van Beethoven is reportedly opening the Built to Spill shows at the 9:30 in May.

well, i do apologize if i ever implied that cracker is of the same strata as marcy's playground. that is an entirely different brand of shit altogether.
well, my "favorite" band is jackyl, but they had already played my county fair by the time that the gin blossoms ruled the charts with their tales of getting laid and things just not working out or whatever. when the hell is jackyl's dvd going to come out? now that was an innovative and original band. maybe they could include a bonus disc on how to play and tune a chainsaw. it's all about the right mix of gas and oil.

i actually like the gin blossom's "new miserable experience" … pretty good power-pop, and it sounds better returning to it now instead of being bludgeoned over the head every living second of the day with "hey jealousy" on the radio

At my pre-college "club day" (you know, where you listen to each club talk about what it offers and why you should join), I spoke with people from the CAPBoard, which organized our on-campus activities.
A really "balls too big for his pants"-type theatre nerd told me that joining CAPBoard was great because "you get to meet bands like Deep Blue Something…if you even know who they are."
I didn't join CAPBoard.

i can't believe that exists. i'll get that for the friend of mine who saw fit to give me r. kelly's "trapped in the closet" for christmas. d'you want to talk about disturbing yet oddly compelling? it is painful.
have you seen the t-shirt with r. kelly on it wearing paul stanley's KISS makeup? it says PISS in KISS lettering over his head. it took me a second or two to "get it."
