back in the day you mean? i spent more time with mark and his sister anne, but the times i hung with tom he was fun. the thing about that era (95–98) is that they'd crack jokes even when no one was watching. there was a youthful authenticity to their absurdist look at life. by the time enema went wide, it was much more of a "schtick" at shows.

for the show i was at on that tour, mark was the one with the megaphone doing satan. so maybe they did take turns?

on the mark tom and travis show? that was mark.

EP's usually arrange for the funding of others, or are lending their name to the project for visibility / credibility. since tom doesn't have any of the latter, i hope he knows people with money to burn.

i know this is off topic, but it's kind of odd that margie only appeared in a single episode of the brady bunch.

that's the thing... "like" and "dislike" are the epitome of subjective.

it's cool. we're the only ones.

my fave is CRUSH

mmmm television city dreams is so good. but you know my fave (first) post-reunion weasel release? the major label debut EP.

How to Make Enemies get relatively little love, but it's solid. time bomb FTW. and like all SW's, i prefer the remix/remasters.

great tribute to get smart

this is a topic i've dragged through all kinds of threads on these boards, i know: some of us prefer consistency to diversity. i also think it's easier to be a saint in heaven than it is in hell. by that, i mean that it's more challenging to innovate and still remain within a recognizable and consistent sonic identity. when bands do this well, it's incredible. a band like NOFX or bad religion, or even rancid, has done this far more successfully than a band like strung out, or pennywise, or even CAKE. i would argue that bad religion, career average, has innovated successfully within their style and their genre, and that anyone who says "all their albums sound the same" are really not listening very closely. and then, you can always err on the side of too much experimentation, which is its own kind of failure. then you get weezer.

right? i mean "heavily biased" is if a juror or someone is supposed to act objective. this is a fan site for a band—it only exists because of people's opinions (my irrational deep love of bad religion included).
