I'm right in the middle of hardcore making a mixtape of the best Bush songs for one of my friends who completely missed the 90s, and I can't believe I'd forgotten how much I love them. I mean, when people ask me about my favourite bands growing up, Bush is usually right behind silverchair on my list, but I always kind of laugh about how crazy- ( Read more... )

But I like to smoke ten thousand cigarillos.

Hmm.

In the song, he pronounces it siga-REEL-yos, which is intensely hot.

I remember the obsession. One New Year's Tracey actually took a picture of my televsion screen as Gavin was performing live on MTV.

You don't know how many times she's told me that story.

Last night, I had a dream that I kept seeing Gavin in all these random places, and he wasn't the most popular member of the band, so he was really into all of the attention I was giving him. And he still had curly hair.

The same reason yours is a dull, dull grey.

I could climb any fountain after an eight ball, too. It's nothing special.

It's weird-a lot of the lyrics sites say mountain, which is what it should obviously be. But I swear he's saying fountain, so I'm sticking to it.

Maybe by fountain he means geyser, which would be a bit trickier to climb, right?

yeah, that would make more sense, but then again, Gavin Rossdale has never been accused of sense-making.

Ahhh yes. My favorite band from early high school. I still stand by a certain proportion of the songs in terms of music-- you really get the feeling with certain songs like "warm machine," "body," and "alien" that if Gavin weren't in there screwing everything up with his boring vocal melodies and terrible lyrics, they could've been a really good band. (Even if their best songs were Pixies ripoffs.) I'm assuming that the rest of the band wrote the instrumental music and Gavin wrote all the lyrics and vocal music, but I wonder if that's how it went...

(err, that wasn't supposed to be anonymous.)

Right, I should probably reply to this one instead. queenkatieett August 9 2006, 20:18:02 UTC

BORING VOCAL MELODIES?! TERRIBLE LYRICS?! You're lucky I'm not-so-secretly in love with you or a comment like that would get you BANNED FROM EXISTENCE.

But for real, isn't it awesome how bad his voice sounds sometimes? And by the time he started sounding pretty great on Inflatable and Superman, we'd all abandoned him. Oh, the pitfalls of being a prettyboy band with 16-year-old fans who grow up and start listening to The Jesus and Mary Chain instead.

I'm going to keep the drive alive, though, and assume that Gavin's such a poet of magnificent proportions that my Bukowski-lovin' mind can't grasp him.
