Hi, welcome to my page. Out of the THOUSANDS of other pages on this wiki, why did you choose this one? There are much better ones to choose from, you know.
Brief description about myself:
I'm the user that makes the most mistakes whenever I edit a page, causing me to correct them multiple times in a row. I'm kind of a great, big nerd (hell, I read dictionaries as a kid)
who works as a lifeguard. I play the accordion. I wish I was better at it, but my former instructor was a jerk.
Other bands I like:
"Weird Al" Yankovic (who inspired me to pick up the accordion. The Johns inspired me to play seriously.)
DEVO (the other towering kings of nerd rock.)
Talking Heads (...them, too)
Oingo Boingo (all though some of the subject matter they’ve written about doesn’t quite sit that wall for me these days)
Madness
Elvis Costello and the Attractions
Sparks (they're like the TMBG in an alternate universe.)
Violent Femmes
Tom Lehrer
Barenaked Ladies
Crash Test Dummies
Moxy Früvous
Fountains of Wayne (an absolute banger of a band. I dig Semisonic, too, just not as much as FoW)
Weezer (yes, even after all this time.)
Logan Whitehurst & The Junior Science Club (he died too young. He seemed like a fun dude to hang out with.)
Tally Hall
Flight of the Conchords
Atom and his Package (maybe it's because I'm also a stocky white guy with glasses from a town minutes from Philly and a fondness for synthesizers)
Ben Folds Five
New Radicals
Television
The Shaggs
King Missile (yes, they wrote Detachable Penis, but they're fucking hilarious)
The Dead Milkmen
Ween
The Magnetic Fields
The Decemberists
The Postal Service
Radiohead
Meg & Dia
Stolen Babies
Modest Mouse
Wilco
Neutral Milk Hotel (yes, they can be overwhelmingly awkward, but i enjoy the surreal lofi music even though it took a while for me to get into them.)
REM
The Presidents of the United States of America (both the band and the biographies of the real commanders in chiefs)
Cake
Harvey Danger
Eels
Pavement
Guided By Voices
Self
Sunny Day Real Estate
Smashing Pumpkins
Captain Beefheart and the Magic Band
King Crimson
Frank Zappa
The Mothers of Invention
The Beatles (yes, against all odds, this mindless contrarian found a way to get in step with Beatlemania)
Soul Coughing
Epic Rap Battles Of History (dude, i was so obsessed with ERB in middle school. I guarantee i still have all the battles memorized in my subconscious)
Schoolhouse Rock (the music still holds up, dude. if you like Mammal, James K Polk or songs like that, revisit SHR)
and a few others I'm not thinking of at the moment
Bands I'm not quite fond of:
The Grateful Dead
Nickleback (obvious choice but nonetheless)
Maroon 5
One Direction
Train (their lyrics are just too stupid)
Bands that are a guilty pleasure of mine (even if i admit i like them)
Crash Test Dummies (they're just silly but nothing really wrong with them.)
Simple Plan
Weezer (especially Pinkerton. Rivers just loves writing songs no one can relate to but him. I am not enrolled in Harvard and I am not sexually frustrated.)
Wheatus (very poor man's Weezer)
Sixpence None the Richer (I don't care what people say, Kiss Me is one of my favorite songs and I'm not ashamed of that.)
Bowling for Soup
Savage Garden (I grew up listening to their first album)
Lou Bega
The Meg & Dia song "Monster" (i'm a sucker for a good melody, and this one ascends in the right places) ... and Meg & Dia in general
