guess i’ll just share that those videos surprised me and i always assumed that like lower tier jam bands that can still somehow sell out first avenue are not just actually shitty and totally incompetent, what a wild world
― budo jeru, Friday, 2 August 2019 16:41 (four years ago) link
i don’t know what this has to do with “hooch” (which i might continue to half-heartedly stick up for idk) but those jam band videos, man
they blew my mind in a way the band definitely did not intend
― budo jeru, Friday, 2 August 2019 16:43 (four years ago) link
I think the general theme running through 'Hooch' and the various digressions into jam-ville is 'what if you made the conscious decision to perpetuate for decades the poor decisions you made in your early twenties?'

Favorite əkoostik hookah anecdote:
This band, who I've never actually heard, was the breaking point for my wife's jam band era. I think she might have ended seeing them with the hippie roommates and fucking hated it so much that it made her suddenly and jarringly realize how dumb so much of that shit was and how obnoxious and idiotic and mindless and snobby all the hippies who frequented her house were.She used to sing the line "take the train to HOOKAVILLE" to me as shorthand for "my hippie roomates did something stupid or irresponsible again" or to make me mad but it would fill her with shame to do so and she'd get angry at herself about it.PS. I still love the Dead and refuse to strongly denounce Phish.― joygoat, Friday, July 20, 2018 3:59 AM (one year ago) bookmarkflaglink

I also just feel like this needs to be stated for the record: "Everything" has got to be one of the dumbest band names of all time.

idk at the end of the day it’s like, on a board where people enthusiastically and unironically embrace fatboy slim, third eye blind, and limp bizkit, maybe it’s not super weird to suggest that “hooch” is a more or less cleverly constructed pop tune and i sort of get that it’s funny to be histrionic and pretend to faint when you hear it bc it’s the worst thing ever and the lyrics are a crime against humanity but actually there is just so much worse music (two in the poll, two vids in thread)
and i realize this thread is supposed to be fun sry

'Everything' is no 'Hoobastank' but it holds its own.

budo, it's cool to like things that are garbage (god knows I love my own share) but 'Hooch' is unquestionably dumpster runoff.

Jake Cinninger of Umphrey's McGee is a very skilled guitarist. UM just have extremely corny ideas and are allowed to make money that way because jamband people love corny ideas.

The album entitled Zonkey by the band Umphrey's McGee has at least two very decisive strikes against it right out of the gate, and I will let you guess what those strikes are.

The most embarrassed I've ever been for another person was when I heard someone proudly refer to himself as a Hazelnut (aka a fan of the band Sister Hazel). It was like I absorbed all of the same that he should have been feeling but totally, totally wasn't.

It may be a truism that if there is a quasi-official name for fans of a given band, the band in question is a bad band that should not have fans.

It looks like one of those things from a kids movie where their little brothers hypnotize them and plays it during their big presentation to the board of directors, causing them to suddenly lose control and start doing that and it's so embarrassing but there's nothing they can do until the song stops. Then they get fired.
