RT@achewood Would The Pet Shop Boys be nice to have over for Thanksgiving, or would they be a pain in the ass? It's really hard to tell.

Nothing to add to the Smashing Pumpkins discussion except I really liked Melon Collie, and Billy Corrigan is one of those people who are just a shaved head waiting to happen.  Seriously, he looks so wrong with hair.

Anyway, the name Silversun Pickups comes from the fact that the band's from the Silverlake area of LA, and their liquor store of choice was called Silversun somethingorother.  Liquor store runs were thus Silversun Pickups.  I learned this from the local radio station that has been playing them for like a year, and I'm officially tired of Lazyeye.  Trouble is, my backup radio station has just recently discovered this song and has it in heavy rotation...

Anyway.

Smashing Pumpkins-- there was a really awkward moment 2 nights ago when someone announced that they are playing in Asheville. Such things were uttered as "only 25$? We should go for two shows, at least!" Everyone was really really excited, simultaneously and unplanned. Except for my friend Sarah and I-- we just stared at each other. Confusing.

I saw Smashing Pumpkins in '97 and they were awesome.  Really one of the best shows i've seen.

I saw them that year too Paul, in the 4th row.  I think I still have hearing damage from that one.  Also, I saw the lead singer of the Frogs standing offstage watching the show, he saw me see him, and he got all uncomfortable.  He got up and played with them in the encoure though, and since I'm a bigger fan of the Frogs than the Pumpkins, it was a real treat for me.

Don't know the Frogs.  Garbage opened here and they were awesome too.

The Frogs are worth checking out.  They have been sampled in Beck songs, inspired the likes of Pearl Jam, Nirvana and the Smashing Pumpkins, and also the singer sometimes wears a giant pair of wings green wings, as he did on the night I saw him with the SP.  They sing such crowd pleasers as "I Only Play For Money (I Don't Give a Fuck About the Fans)" and "Hot Cock Annie."  I've shared their "It's Only Right And Natural" album with every guy friend who's come out - they lyrics are witty and extremely subversive.

Christ on a fuck*ng crutch, are you telling me that the band that did "I'm Sad The Goat Just Died Today" did other songs? Good songs? I had always assumed they were a one-horror-and-out group.

It's all relative... the Frogs are intentionally shitty most of the time, sort of "car crash" good, not... good good.  I've never heard this goat song, but basically if you can sit through Baby Greaser George (a song about a baby who is apparently hot to suck cock...) than you can sit through anything.
