who started this fad for grown men
singing in that straining-to-reach-the-high-notes
kind of a way ?

Neil Fucking Young. Next question?

Actually, on second thought, they're all trying to be Brian Wilson, but you know, Brian Wilson could actually *hit* those notes, which Neil Young could not. Without the aid of a vocoder, to make him sound even more crap.

The problem is not their voices, it's their lack of SWANG, of ROCK.

Oh god, I've turned into Chuck. No!

Kate, we are sending the RCMP to your door to retrieve your honorary Canadian Citizenship. And to think you played at our Embassy.

Actually, Neil Young used to be able to hit those notes, he pretty much sung in tune all the time - but there is no doubt he is the progenitor of the squeaky voiced bed-wetter brigade.

Yeah, let's replace Wayne Coyne with Dee Snider. Pfffft.

You tryna tell me you wouldn't wanna hear THAT album?

― Dadaismus, Saturday, 15 March 2003 18:47 (twenty-three years ago)

actually, daniel johnston is trying to be paul mccartney.

The moment I posted that I should've known some sooperhep Hater Of the New-Psych-Pop would be all "DUDE THAT WOULD BE SO MUCH BETTER THAN YOSHIMI FOR REAH". Well PHBLT. Some music, and please do not freak out here, does not actually need to ROKK OUT with its cock out.

(also: "bed-wetter brigade"? blech)

(I will refrain from asking the obvious question about Dadaismus' e-mail address tho)

This is true. He really can't help it.

Hey, I really like Jason Lytle's singing.

― Orange, Saturday, 15 March 2003 19:35 (twenty-three years ago)

They could leave their collective cock in their pants, Nate. In A Priest Driven Ambulance did. Though Grandaddy could use something anything to make them more interesting. Daniel J just needs a good band. Twas more my point that the high voices were NOT the problem with any of these bands, then that they were particularly bad.

― Anthony Miccio (Anthony Miccio), Saturday, 15 March 2003 19:37 (twenty-three years ago)

But Grandaddy are great!

(I am not going to back this up.)

― Nate Patrin (Nate Patrin), Saturday, 15 March 2003 19:39 (twenty-three years ago)

(except that they remade "Walking in a Winter Wonderland" to be about Alan Parsons)
