that whole whiny trust fund rock thing

what on earth was going on w/ the cold ward kids last night on conan? that was, hands down, the most retarded spectacle i've ever seen. fewer things irk me more than contrived weirdness. playing the wrong keys on a piano is a degree or two away from smashing a guitar on the "trying way too hard" meter. and is it just me, or does "hang me out to dry" sound a lot like crowded house's "hey now"? when stuck in my head, the former tends to morph into the latter, a bit like britney's ". . . baby one more time" + "oops, i did it again." anyway, awful, awful, awful band. still, not quite as bad as clap your hands say yeah who is possibly the worst band in the history of recorded music. i classify both as "white socks n' cookies rock," meaning that i suspect that every member of both bands wears white socks in coitus + immediately demands cookies + a glass of milk post coitus. you know it's probably true.
