“We’re not really a support band; more an anti-depressant”
The support at last night’s Wannadies gig came courtesy of the utterly awful Mommy and Daddy, who may just be the worst band I have ever seen (and that’s saying something; I’ve seen Ian Brown live on more than one occasion, including the infamous final Roses “performance” at Reading 96). If you need any more evidence, have a look at some of Mommy and Daddy’s lyrics.
The Wannadies, though, were excellent. Possibly even better than when I saw them back in June. Obviously they win points for playing my two favourite songs (“String Song” and “That’s All”), but they also played an excellent (and allegedly unrehearsed) version of their cover of Lee Remick, apparently because someone emailed them and asked for it. I must remember that for the future. Maybe next time we see them I can get them to do Blister in The Sun.
You’re a total tosser. Mommy and Daddy are the best band you’ve ever seen. You just don’t know it yet, because you think Blister in the Sun is a classic. That song is for frat boy rapists and it sucks. One day you will be wanking into your sweat socks and it will dawn on you that Mommy and Daddy are all your fantasies – and more. Not to mention, they ROCK.
…And thanks for your comment, glad you like the weblog.
I’m sorry you feel that way, but to be honest I can hardly remember what the band (a support act I saw over a year ago) sounded like. They must have been pretty awful, though, if I described them as the worst band I’d ever seen.
Yes, I do like Blister In The Sun. So what’s wrong with that? Whatever the song happens to be about, that does not make me a “frat boy rapist”. I also like Elliott Smith and Radiohead–doesn’t mean I hate the world and want to kill myself though, does it?
So what’s with the posting of comments defending the band on a random stranger’s old weblog post then? Do you know the band? Are you in the band? And what’s with the peculiar masturbation obsession? (“Paging Dr. Freud…”)
Have you read anything else on here or is it just this one post?
I’m sorry–I don’t think it is going to dawn on me any time soon that they are the best band I have ever seen, although that does give me an idea for a new blog post–best gigs ever. Now let me think…
