When their US record company told them “don't come, people think you are black”
Still can't get over how bad that sounds.
So, wait, that Deftones album title is about cocaine too? I thought they were chasing sales from the preteen girl demographic.
"White Horse" wasn't much of a hit outside the U.S.. "Bakerman" I first heard on Dom Joly's vanity album, but until now I'd never seen the video... it's fantastic. In five minutes, Lars von Trier makes up for his entire film career.

Wow, here I've been lurking for years, thinking no thread I started ever went anywhere. I remember now!
But wait -- White Horse uses an 808? Did I misread that? And I always thought I Need A Freak was a Too $hort original. Wonder if he actually got rights or if that was a bootleg cover.

brilliant band. bakerman, white horse, fly away - most bands can only dream of three distinct hits of that quality.
