BASTARDS!

Nothing worse than getting an overplayed pop song stuck in your head.


Was actually heading out to see these guys last summer, but was going more for the mingling at the festival than the band. But when the headliner cancelled (severe illness, or some such thing), I just wasn't going to pony up the $7... OK, something came up along the way... I'll see just about anyone for $7.

i don't know that particular tune, but about 4 years ago i was in Scotland and they played whatever that other Snow Patrol stuff is called 24/7 in all the pubs.

they were huge. it kind of made sense in that context in that weird euro hook driven pop music, sing along down 6 pints way...not that i sang along, mind you.

i had a similar experience with Oasis in the late 90's in Newcastle visiting some buddies.

OK, I'm better now.

No longer stuck in my head, thank goodness.

It's been replaced.

the opening to bohemian just like you is possibly the worst (cutest) ripoff of Brown Sugar....

possibly the worst thing i've ever seen. the dimb, "nothing is trendy there" chick that plays a note on the keyboard seems even smarter than Courtney Rock Star.

maybe this clip is self-parody?

Just about every facet of Courtney's life was all about self-parody, self-effacing, or at minimum, deeply tongue-in-cheek.

Haven't seen much of him in recent years, but dude hasn't had too many moments of seriousness in his life.

Not sure why I've been such a sucker for the hooks lately, but I think I've at least made a serious upgrade (a local program director must have been going through his WS disks, and seems to be weilding much influence over the realm of "songs stuck in people's heads").
