How 'bout I just barf instead?
Nah, it could be much (much) worse.
I am, however, concerned about the number one listing for Movies (for both school and Facebook) of The Notebook (even though I never saw it). And that Anchorman and Old School were so much higher than 40 Year Old Virgin.
It was a relief, however, to find out that for FSU, the #56 "Interest," up two spots, was "girls."
...what? How do you get these so-called "listings"?
ReplyDeleteI clicked on a link that popped up during my browsing of the site. Apparently it's a new thing called "Pulse":

Oh yeah, and I wanted to make an offhand comment in the post about Incubus, something to the account of "Incubus is still around?"
What is it with the Dave Matthews Band and college students?
ReplyDeleteSeriously, I knew the band was popular with this demographic, but also assumed it was exaggerated by snarky Pitchfork jokes.
Whatever. I don't like 'em. Crucify me.

They're a jam band with pop accessibility. The Grateful Dead, Phish, and... something else poppier mixed together.
ReplyDeleteAnd they gots the groove.
I only have that one live double CD, which I find to be very entertaining. The only other CD I got was Everyday, and I gave that away.
And coming from the live recordings, I can't really listen to the studio takes.
All hail Futurama!

Fry: "So, I really am important? How I feel when I'm drunk is correct?"
Nibblonian 1: "Yes. Except the Dave Matthews Band doesn't rock."
Zing!

"We were walking
Just the other day
It was so hot outside
You could fry an egg
Remember you were talking
I watched as sweat ran down your face
Reached up and caught it at your chin
Licked my fingertip
Wasting time
Let the hours roll by
Doing nothing for the fun
Little taste of the good life
Whether right or wrong
Makes us want to stay stay stay stay for awhile
Later on
The sun began to fade
Then the clouds rolled over our heads
And it began to rain
Oh we were dancing mouths open
Splashing tongue taste
For a moment this good time would never end
You and me you and me
Just wasting time
I was kissing you
You were kissing me love
From good day into a moonlight
Now a night so fine
Makes us wanna stay stay stay stay stay for awhile
Wasting time
I shall miss these things
When it all rolls by
What a day
Wanna stay stay stay stay stay for awhile
Hey love
Oh just groping you
Rolling in the mud
Stay a while
Come on love
Wanna stay stay stay stay stay for awhile"
--Stay (Wasting Time)--
4) I don't know what your opinions of DMB are based on, but I know that I've sometimes had opinions based on the success of things, some of the better-known songs, or whatever, and never really got exposed to some of the other material because I didn't want to be. Given that, I could lend you the live set if you're interested... they got some groove
5) It's okay not to like DMB. But it's not okay not to like them just because they're popular (or not popular, for that matter).
