Creamtastic Fun With Press Releases: Do You Believe in Miracles?
Posted by Adam Gold on Thu, Feb 12, 2009 at 12:07 PM
The original line-up of [Band] is back, do you believe in miracles? If so, then you can believe [Band] is back to do it ALL again! Album! Tour! Worldwide!The original line-up of [Dude], [Dude], [Dude], [Dude], and DJ
[Dude] are back from an eight year hiatus to bring their world back to ours.
[Dude] and [Dude] said in a joint statement:
"We decided we were more disgusted and bored with the state of heavy popular music than we were with each other. Regardless of where our separate paths have taken us, we recognize there is a powerful and unique energy with this particular group of people we have not found anywhere else. This is why [Band] is back."
OMG. Guess who?
So, this band, let's just call them Biz Milk Tip, are fronted by an aspiring filmmaker whose last name rhymes with "worst." By now, you should know whom I'm talking about.
For most of us, it's funny to look back on time when "Biz Milk Tip" were one of the biggest bands in the world. "Worst," who has a Kurt Cobain portait tattooed on his breast, was briefly considered a player in the industry. Former Geffen president Jordan Schur made his career by discovering them. (You may also remember Schur from the Scene's cover story on the Pink Spiders.)
Despite great album titles like A Facecloth Hots Sir and the Adverted Fowl Hog Rot, the band failed to match the success of their breakthrough single "The Okie No," and their "whimsically" metallic hip-hoppy Floridian frat-boy shtick got old to a legion of fickle teenagers who had more "emotional" things to move on to. Their wacky guitar player left ,and the band floundered as their star fell. This was all brilliantly documented in this AMG review of their fourth record Suavely Martyrs. I highly recommend reading it, an utterly brilliant piece of writing!

they're totally going to break some stuff with a chocolate starfish. hope they can still crank out the (s)hits.
When I woke up this morning, I remember thinking, "Man, what's up with the state of heavy popular music these days?"
Well, wh, it wasn't really much of a contest. But I like to think it could also have been that turd from Puddle of Muddd. d.
Pretty proud of my 'Shop-work around the soul patch/goat combo.
