Singer in response to random audience requests and heckles: "Yes, I usually base my decisions on what a bunch of 21-year-old white guys yell at me."

H-GM (with moustache): "Listen, I'm not 21. I'm 37. Now play "Fantasy World." (Band plays song and it's awesome)

Were you more disappointed by the band or the crowd? Hoping for more dude-tit jiggling? I haven't been to many shows in Chicago, but this was the best yet. And come to think of it, you've been at almost every show I've been to.

Ha! Didn't see you standing there. I hope I didn't step on your toes with my killer punk-rock-dance-moves. They weren't even going to play "Fantasy World!" How can you not play that song? It's the best song on the album next to "Caught Licking Leather." And I had to beg for it. But it was pretty incredible. Indeed!

Andrew, I think I was most disappointed in something in the abstract that I can't quite put my finger on, you know? I've stood in that exact same spot for many obnoxious rock shows, but somehow this one was...I don't know. They sounded fine. Maybe it could've been a little louder? But the actual performance was great. There is an element of danger in their music and this element was missing from the execution. I didn't feel it from the kids in front of me, either. Shit. I wish I knew you were standing next to me. I had fun! I just didn't have fun-fun.

Actually, I did get pegged. AND IT WAS A FUCKING WATER BOTTLE! Who the fuck throws a bottle of water? Fucking Shannon Selberg gets his head busted with a bottle of beer and uses a t-shirt strewn around my neck as a bandage at a Cows show...that was fucking great. What do I experience at Pissed Jeans? Sean fucking throwing a BOTTLE OF WATER into the crowd and beaning me in the puss. A BOTTLE OF WATER?!?!? Hell, I've gotten pegged in the eye with a goddamn shotglass at a gay bar. A gay bar was more dangerous than the Pissed Jeans show! Sad.

I still had fun!

Steve V! M'man! Dude! I was so about to posit on how you are emphatically and 100% correct on this point, but then came across this...

Dude,

their music enriches!

ENRICHES!

What have any of these indie puds ever done for you?

I'm officially on radio rock. ROCK. On RADIO.

Note: Liberal usage of sarcasm. Note further I must make a note because explaining I was being sarcastic, just in case anyone gets uppity.

Here's an easy one. I was the girl in the orange demin jacket.

No one else on the planet wears an orange demin jacket.

I was thinking of wearing my cowgirl hat with the feathers that night too but it's not quite warm enough to wear the cowgirl hat.

yup, i recall. you were with the fellow in the black leather jacket.

you're goddam right i'm an ice cream eatin' star of track and field.

-I basically abandoned listening to rock music entirely last year because indie sons of bitches were putting out album after album of shitty music, even acts that had been previously quality. The one great rock album from last year was In Rainbows which is honestly as much classical as it is rock, and other than that I listened almost exclusively to hip-hop and jazz because Lil Wayne is more experimental than experimental music is these days.

-I like Smash Mouth. Unironically. I will not deny this. I think it's good pop music. Their third album - the one after the one with "All-Star"? - pretty good shit. And this is a real confession, because Smash Mouth isn't even cool to like ironically.

I mean c'mon guys, you know how many tight-pantsed hipster shits will rep "More Than A Feeling"? Blargh.

For a confession, that's pretty high comedy.

Is it because they share the same bass player these days?

Are you talking about The Shipping News? They didn't break up. They're playing shows in Europe this summer...
