I am not feeling The Wire as much as the other singles, but boy this album is fun through and through. Not only the song themselves. about 6 of them bring me pure joy, but the idea of a band like this one having that much critical success. Not sure Haim is taking as seriously in 2005.

Co-worker who reads Grantland regularly and has been following the Haim beef on Twitter walked into my office a few minutes ago and said, "Chris Weingarten is kind of a dick, isn't he?"

If you, a grown adult, think Live or Pearl Jam or Sugar Ray had some different agenda than Metallica because they knew who the Feelies were, well I got a bridge in a Shit Towne to sell you, bruh.
i don't think sugar ray knows the feelies whiney

I am 100% certain Mark McGrath knows about The Feelies
― smang culture (DJP), Friday, 4 October 2013 18:24 (ten years ago) link
I heard Mark McGrath formed Sugar Ray after seeing the Feelies perform.

xxxps I stuck up for Whiney solely on the basis of "in the aeroplane over the .css" and his Public Enemy book.

xps This "Edge" song is fantastic. I definitely prefer shorter albums to longer ones, and I don't which song I would've chopped to get it on the Haim album, but I agree it should be on there.
― Johnny Fever, Friday, 4 October 2013 18:42 (ten years ago) link
eno and cale are way more famous than the feelies
DJP are you teasing some sultry crazy rhythms tete a tete with mark mcgrath or what????

― lorde willin' (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Friday, 4 October 2013 18:52 (ten years ago) link
lol no
I'm saying any dude in a guitar-based band in his early 40s that had any link/pretension to an indie scene is going to know who The Feelies were; I mean, I knew who they were solely from reading Rolling Stone
― smang culture (DJP), Friday, 4 October 2013 18:54 (ten years ago) link
But ... can Mark McGrath read?!

Mark McGrath was on Rock n Roll Jeopardy and cleaned house. Stop being snobs.
― smangerz (Whiney G. Weingarten), Friday, 4 October 2013 19:15 (ten years ago) link
Yeah, he was a machine as a contestant and then, after Jeff Probst got too busy with Survivor, hosted the show for a hot minute.
― Johnny Fever, Friday, 4 October 2013 19:16 (ten years ago) link
Oh wait, he didn't. He was going to revive the show, but it never got out of the planning stages.
― Johnny Fever, Friday, 4 October 2013 19:19 (ten years ago) link
Seems like a stand-up dude, tbh.

was gonna say this. i was about the make the case for mcgrath as some kind of tragic genius figure who lucked into a wack career but i don't know enough really and don't care

wait so is Haim like getting played on the radio in the uk? (I guess everyone gets played on the radio in the uk, but I mean like to a significant amount?)
― Geoffrey Schweppes (jaymc), Saturday, 5 October 2013 03:55 (ten years ago) link
"The Wire" is on the Radio 1 A list at the moment, and just appeared on the UK Radio Airplay chart.
I'm seeing them at a smallish (400 person) venue on Sunday (hopefully tropical storm Karen will have cleared out by evening). I'm a bit giddy.
― جهاد النكاح (Sanpaku), Saturday, 5 October 2013 04:33 (ten years ago) link
Also, it’s OK to not like the Haim album, but not liking it by throwing around Bryan Adams, Wilson Phillips, and Rick Astley’s names like it’s bad to make good pop music is some sub-Chunklet aging punk bullshit, and corny as fuck.
Yeah really, having, like, taste and standards is so fucking Dischord, dudes. Can't wait for the RSD 180g diehard red vinyl reissue of Heart in Motion by Amy fucking Grant."
