two friends yelled at me recently because i called the band Blink 182 "Blink One Eight Two" and not "Blink One Eighty Two." isn't that sad? impressive that they are still on america's consciousness, i suppose. you don't hear people debating if 311 is "Three Eleven" or "Three One One." would would know anyway? i can imagine the guys in blink 182 mentioning their name all the time - "blink one eighty two is something fresh! blink one eighty two will be around for ever!" i won't suggest that their songs sound alike (they do) but they could really use the "nickelbacksucks" treatment. i think if that could happen, blink one eighty two could be my favorite band for a week.
maybe if i was in a band that had clearly had its moment, i would record a song that sounded EXACTLY like my hit but slightly different, just so college kids could make fun of me. at least i would get a few more years out of my band being... significant? what do i know though - when bands become "lame" in america they stay huge in germany and eastern europe. and nickelback is still one of the most successful rock acts in the country. i'm not surprised... that nickebacksucks song is still incredible.
