Cool pic. I really like both Shag and Smash Mouth. On Smash Mouth, I think their music is catchy and becuase of that their hits remind me of the years they were released in. When I hear "all star" it reminds me of waiting 32 hours in line for Star Wars: Episode One (did I just admit that in a public place?) Plus, there was a minor controversy that they ripped off Swan's Splashdown riff from Perrey & Kingsley's In Sound From Way Out! (also on Essential). Perrey and Kingsley is some of the squarest hep music around. So for them to sound like it is damn cool (whether or not they actually ripped it off is debatable ... they deny they did). Plus they're from the Bay Area (San Jose). So that's a plus in my book. ~Hanford PS: The Smashmouth site says "paintings" but that looks like an Illustrator image to me :D [ Edited by: hanford_lemoore on 2003-08-08 16:31 ] |
