Red Mosquito

My feeling about the guy is that he is decently talented but relied on many other special people to create the very good first album, and then his ego ran amok and was never able to near that level of achievement again.

If you don't know the story of why the original guitarist left, you should read it. It's a real corker.

So my feeling is apt. But like, the band is named after his apparent autism or whatever, so I'm happy he achieved what he did. Pretty amazing album.

i worked with a guy who went to NYU and said he had a friend (female) who was hula hooping in washington square park and the 3EB lead singer walked up and started being very pervy/aggressive hitting on her and she asked him what he did for a living and he said 'i make rock and roll for the people'

Lol

Hula hooping in Washington Square Park is quite a detail.

its is an essential fact to the scenario

Also 100% something Jenkins would say.

As soon as I got to that line, I knew the story was 100% true

I was at a Nike´s shop on saturday, they were playing some very hip songs, trap, stuff like that, everyone was super young and cool, looking at these super expensive and awful trousers and shorts and then...they played How´s It Gonna Be. I thought about this thread instantly.

There’s an episode of Homicide: Life on the Street that uses “God of Wine” at its emotional climax, and it works extremely well.

Looks like S07E01 La Famiglia

"Name one song from 'Out of the Vein'."

The guy who maliciously destroyed his original band and hasn't made anything notable since wonders why so many fans only know the work that was good.

Stephan Jenkins looks like the portrait Paul Rudd keeps in his attic so he doesn’t age.

Mark Wilkins comes across as more of a piece of trash than Jenkins does. Hard to achieve.

These guys are headlining the new year's festivities tonight in Austin. Should I go?
