I agree.

Thanks in advance.

telepathy wrote:the band, obviously, is crap ... but their original songwriter (the guy who wrote "Hey Jealousy" and "Found Out About You" ... in other words, their only hits), Doug Hopkins, was really a terrific songwriter in the Westerberg/Alex Chilton vein, if a little more 90's-pop-oriented. He was kicked out of the band for his drinking, and killed himself right after they started gaining popularity ... with his songs. It's a goddamn tragedy.

I agree ... the first Gin Blossoms EP was a good bit more stripped down than their later album, and not bad stuff. And poor Doug Hopkins had a lot more talent than he got to show with those guys. By no means a great band, but I have a hard time voting crap.

I lived in the town from which the Gin Blossoms oozed (Tempe, Italia) during the height of their fame.

When they sang about "we can drive around this town," they were talking about MY town.

Before their overnight discovery, the Gin Blossoms spent several years being the fucking drunk asshole band that played at Long Wong's for the same fucking people every fucking week.

I had a similar experience a few years previous with the band No Doubt. Before their overnight discovery, this band No Doubt spent years and years playing wretched pseudo-ska music (their pop crap was actually a step up from this) up and down the smelly armpit of southern California known as the Inland Empire.

During these years, Gwen Stefani used to wear a Notre Dame baseball hat all the time, because it had an "ND" logo.

I ask you: wtf.

CRAP

there is someone who lurks and occassionally posts on this board with an EXCEPTIONAL story about the band no doubt and the band godheadsilo, together. i am hoping that this person will please, please bless the board with this anecdote if this person hasn't already. it is a fucking national treasure.

Whoa! Did you ever see Nothing Painted Blue?

Is there a name for worse than crap?

Perhaps that name is in fact, Gin Blossoms.

this band, who i have never heard of, made me briefly think of a band called gin palace, who are NOT CRAP.

These guys are from Arizona, where it gets hotter than hell.

incredible.
