I posted this entry a week or so ago and in retrospect I'd like to replace Husker Du with Alice Donut. Not that I particularly like them THAT much more than Husker Du, but I rarely see them getting much love (or much of anything one way or the other, for better or for worse), which I think is a shame. Anyways, I don't know if that follows protocol or whatever, but even if I was accepted on the pretense of Husker Du striking a green light with people I'd still change it to Alice Donut. Good hunting.

I got a bit ahead of myself and "Patience and Prudence" looked like "Pestilence" from all the way up there at The Coup. That would have been much more exciting. Anyway, I like Kevin Ayers, don't like Pavement, like Timbaland much more than Missy, etc. Was Alice Donut on one of those Alternative Tentacles comps? I know I've heard them, but I can't think of what they sound like but it doesn't matter because Husker Du was much better anyway. Tell me a joke or something.

Promiscuous boyyyyyyyyyy velocorapsta June 20 2006, 19:15:58 UTC
I figured Pavement would be a death knell with alot of people, but they kind of buoyed me in high school.

Alice Donut was probably on an Alternative Tentacles comp, I guess, cause they're on that label. They're just a fantastically gritty band who's tight. I was hooked ever since their cover of "War Pigs". I have some personal musical sentimentality for them cause "Mrs. Hayes" was one of the first songs I learned how to play on every instrument which, at the time, made for a pretty kick ass summer.

Don't get me wrong, I love me some Husker Du; I mean, they were my first choice. I replaced 'em with Alice Donut to get some feedback on 'em, positive or negative. I mean, I can very well make up my own mind, I just figured I should give some love to them. I don't just sit around making top twenties all day long; this is some tough shit

STABS IT IN HIS FATTTTTYYY JOWLSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And a joke (morbid as it is) velocorapsta June 20 2006, 19:19:45 UTC
I tried flirting with a waitress at work who had on wristbands and I made a comment on them and she replied, "Well, my doctor says I shouldn't wear band-aids"

I responded with a quizzical glance and she then drew back her wrist-bands to display some wonderfully symmetrical lacerations from an apparent suicide attempt. I then suddenly realized why she hadn't been at work for a week.

Anyways, I thought it was a joke.

But, I guess if I had to answer, the other one-shot gag bands I'd rate as part of the music that has had such a deep and meaningful influence on me are:

Orange Juice
The Coup
The Beach Boys
Arthur Brown's Kingdom Come
Brian Eno
Art Tatum
Sparks
Muzsickas
Alice Donut
Weakling
Pavement
Missy Elliott
Faust
Kevin Ayers
Yann Tiersen
The Kinks
Afrika Bambaataa
The Lucksmiths

Orange Juice really rode out that "i'm sad and no one loves me" thing. Faust rode out that "i'm so weird" type of thing. Art Tatum rode out that "holy shit i'm fucking incendiary on the ivories" thing. I don't know, I'm just really into one-shot gag bands.
