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.

eno and cale are way more famous than the feelies

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

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.

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."
omg kill yourself

By 'gang' do you mean REDACTED?
I guess this would be easier to swallow if it wasn't some transparent social climbing 'VMA limited access' horseshit from yet another writer trying to rationalize his Lolita complex and collection of secret Richard Marx cassingles

I don't understand -- championing Heart in Motion, released when Amy Grant was 30, is evidence of a Lolita complex?
I've never heard the album in full, but "Baby Baby" and "Every Heartbeat" hold up fantastically. Richard Marx had a couple of jams, too.

I guess it's just sorta tragic to me that a writer would take a swipe at Chunklet - who, let's be honest, are sorta the Led Zep to Whiney's Kingdom Come - while extolling the virtues of the "good pop music" of Wilson Philips. My contention here is simply that failing to make a distinction between "pop music" and "objectively terrible music" is far more contrarian and corny (and boring) in 2013 than, oh, I dunno, offering to "pay bands not to play." Whiney isn't here to defend himself, so I'm not going to continue ranting (I generally enjoy CW's writing, follow him on twitter, etc) but that comment sorta made me wanna barf.
