Red Mosquito

isn't it past time for a 311 reappraisal?

fuck the naysayers cuz they don't mean a thing.

these guys are such adorably lame pussies.

i can't hear you. like phone sex with a deaf girl.

with all the shit that we're kickin', our shoes must be stinkin'

i'm prepared to anoint them the Gods of raprock.

i want to visit the world
so i visit the world
with my time on this world.

sick rhymes.

they are just so hardcore! goddamn!

Feels So Good might be the most inadvertently homoerotic song ever written.

to the weasels who try to bring us down
in reality it makes you look like a clown

Grassroots is still pretty solid. No complaints so far.

This seems like an appropriate moment to mention that I was in the audience here:

lol at everything in that clip.

Prototypical early 90s singer moves, lead guitarist moves and in particular bass player moves.

Awesome.

I wonder how many Technics 1200s are gathering dust in suburban basements because of groups like that.

I couldn't watch more than a minute. Are you ever on camera, Spenno?

Thank god I never succumbed to a wooden bead necklace or leather band wrist strap. And that bass player's gecko walk is outright stupidity.

They look like every band that was ever on Buffy the Vampire Slayer.

My wife listens to Beat Happening all the time and I kind of hate them

311 was inescapable during my freshman year of college (my only year of college). I hated them but all my friends liked them and I wanted to fit in. I saw them live once and they were ok I guess. I was trashed though, so who knows.

Now I kinda like them and their shitty music purely for nostalgic purposes.

I think that is the first and only time I will ever hear them.

They're awful.
