"Summer Girls" lyrics have always reminded me of a hastily-written song from a school assembly, like the student council wrote a rap to sing underneath the slideshow at graduation, with references to each depicted student & teacher

There is a regional jam band that used to come through my college town all the time named
(please sit if you aren't already)
əkoostik hookah
I never saw them but I'm willing to bet they are tapping a similar vein of good-time mellow-groove rock and roll music.

Reminded how the recent oral history of "All Star" talked about the band listening to all the songs that were in the top 10 and trying to mash them together into a new song...and these songs are definitely the sauce that went into that one.

HookahvilleHookahville is a semi-annual music festival featuring performances from many local and regional bands and usually hosted and headlined by əkoostik hookah. Formerly located at Legend Valley in Thornville, Ohio or at Frontier Ranch in Kirkersville, Ohio, it was moved to Zane Shawnee Caverns in Bellefontaine, Ohio in 2017 where Hookahville 50 was held in September 2018 and was ekoostik hookah's reunion show with EH2.0. Hookahville 51 was held at Brushy Fork Phamily Ranch in Newark, OH in May 2019. Hookahville 52 will be held at Clear Fork Adventure Resort in Butler, Ohio where EH2.0 will return for one more performance. Spring Hookahville is held the weekend before Memorial Day weekend; the end of summer version is held during Labor Day weekend.

əkoostik hookah released an album called 'dubbabuddah' in 1994, strengthing my increasing suspicion that jam band culture is underpinned by a pontypool-style virus which erodes the language centres of the brains of those affected

At first I was like 'okay, they aren't nearly as terrible as me and my snarky college friends had built them up to be' and then the vocals happened.
I had no actual desire to click on that link and yet I still eagerly dove after it like a dog seizing a bone. I really should get a professional diagnosis for whatever this is.

Jam bands were made for people who resent having been born with the ability to hear and want nothing more than to punish their ear drums.

In the world of jam there are no rules except 'do whatever terrible thing you're doing for longer than any rational person would ever want you to do it'.

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

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
