Whatevs Monday Morning Mystery Haikus
Posted by Seth Graves on Mon, Mar 30, 2009 at 11:56 AM
It is far too often that we open ourselves up, let down our guard, create or participate in something completely questionable or ridiculous and then blame it on boredom. I make no excuses for what you are about to read, nor am I offering any explanations.
Simply put, I have taken the concepts and my opinions of 15 local rock bands and described them in haiku. I'd say most of them are pretty easy, some have multiple interpretations, but all pertain strictly to local bands.
Feel free to "solve" them or add your own in the comments.
A video game
Inspires epic rock saga
Geeks rock and rejoice
Stage full of players
Create a wall of pet sounds
You've heard it before
Synth pop lays ground for
Indie dance pop sing-a-longs
Europe thinks it's cool
His dad's an outlaw
Playing new songs that sound old
Replacements cover?!
A band of brothers
Rock out stoner punk anthems
But can they play well?
Mix guns and landscapes
To create hyped up rock band
The songs ain't too bad
Elvis Costello
Inspired band of hipsters' name
You still don't like them
Handheld percussion
Has never been so unkind
This pop has power
Two guys push buttons
Result is fun to dance to
Max Tundra approves
Cream trolls all loathe them
We dare not speaketh their name
Nudie suits not cool?
Mall punk and cocaine
Are sweet dreams not made of this?
Geffen don't think so
A guy in ski mask
Programs beats that could kill you
Do you like these jams?
Raw power rock band
Named after mammary parts
Kick out the jams, dude.
Heard Kings of Leon?
It was probably these guys
They share bell-bottoms
Big cats and dairy
Acoustic rage gone unheard
Band name not so good?
Three little ladies
Wild women who love chicken
and honky tonk punk
