    My problem with Nickelback is they made one good/successful song and then spent years effectively just remaking How You Remind Me instead of trying anything new

    I actually really liked their second album, The State at the time, though I haven't gone back and listened to it in years to see if it still holds up

    The Tea Party had a similar problem, years of distinctive sounding goth/industrial/prog rock, and then Heaven Coming Down blew up and they tried to chase more mainstream success for a while

    Yep, this was always my thing with them.

    As to Smash Mouth, I've always unironically liked them, but I like ska, so that's kinda expected. I don't like All Star, though. :/ But I forgive them for it because it gave us:

    Fuck it. I'll be that guy.

    I like Psycho, and it was a fun song to play in Audiosurf

    I was aware of Puddle of Mudd when they were just a garage band. My oldest sister went to high school with Wes Scantlin and dated Jimmy Allen briefly.

    When I had my first job in a servo, the dude I usually had shifts with would constantly play Nickelback and Creed, so now any time I hear their music I have a weird craving for giant gummy snakes and the smell of tobacco

    FUCKING KILLER PYTHONS HOLY SHIT I WANT ONE NOW

    I love that this is like
    a Pavlovian Australian response to this post


    ...
    ... fuck it I’m going online shopping somebody has to ship Allens sweets to the US

    If you succeed I'll need some Redskins and some milkos and a killer python andaybe even some clinkers.

    PM me a postal address, I'll send you some shit at the end of the month when I have spare cash.

    Is that candy named after the waste from industrial processes

    Clinkers? I assume so because it has much the same effect on your teeth.

    clinkers occupies the same brainspace as pingers, which I supposed is proper australian

    "pingers" is slang for ecstasy tablets, just slightly different from what clinkers actually are:

    I'd like to try the authentic aussie Timtams too, as I heard the ones we get in the states are not as good.

  • Options

    I haven't even tried the US version cause I don't want to be irritated.

    that said the only TimTams I ever really crave are the dark chocolate and chilli variety, and I think they've stopped making those?

    Killer Pythons are legitimately one of the best gummy lollies in existence, imo.

    Well, until they halved them in size a few years back, but they’re still pretty great.

    I'd rather hang out with Smash Mouth than Nickelback

    I feel like if I hung out with Nickleback today they'd mostly tell me stories about how they banged some chicks on tour who they'd suggest were between the ages of 15 and 17, but wouldn't outright admit to it if questioned.

    On that subject. When is the Limp Bizkit resurgence?

    I'm having trouble finding the "large" Killer Pythons for sale online, mostly what I can find is the bags of fake pretend impostor Killer Pythons, basically just multi-coloured regular Snakes Alive snakes with bigger heads.

    I've been listening to Dashboard a lot lately (listen, it's been a rough couple of weeks) on Spotify, and I discovered that they re-recorded a bunch of their albums

    Chris can't get those high notes like he used to, so his voice cracks a lot, but I kinda really like it because it's like, man he is doing his music as hard as he can.

    We had the radio on, some shitty music was playing, and it got us talking about other shitty music that had gained widespread public exposure despite no one admitting to liking it, and how weird it must be to be one of the secret fans who unironically loved Aqua's "Barbie Girl" or whatever enough to keep requesting it and sustaining it on the airwaves for months.

    Alright, so the packaging here indicates the deal with this particular snack is a chocolate coating and inside is one of several different colors, and presumably flavors, of...something.

    But the packaging also indicates that one of the options is "NO."

    I was obsessed with Smash Mouth as a teenager and bought their East Bay Seasions CD which is why I know they initially had a more punk vibe.

    Also a song called Sorry About Your Penis

    Truly great music is timeless, but so is bad music: it always sounds like it coulda been made by today’s trashy new bands.

    That’s nickelback: they make a living by continuously feeding people’s demand for trash rock music

    That said I have always had an unironic love for their WWE intro
