all of the hair in that band is disgusting. end of discussion.

Jesus. That was the first thing I saw as well. What's wrong with kids these days? And is this what happens when you get enough money to hire a "stylist?"

so i have heard this song on the radio several times, and always assumed it was flyleaf.
That song is very catchy. Not so guilty pleasure.

there goes cool points.

I think they're all roughly 20. Or thereabouts.

RIAA certified platinum as of july

I bet the girl singer is a slut!

They said she's twenty you dick wipe so FUCK YOU tippy canoo!!!!!

I think its fucking great they went platinum, that is a hell of a notch on the belt any way you look at it.

But IMHO, this is mall rock. Mall rock sells because its aimed directly at the disposable income set. You can even cover Mall Rock songs at local shows if you want, no harm there, but I am not impressed. I can't get into that shit. It's not very original because very original things wouldn't interest the Mall rock set, or the People-Who-Cover-Mall-Rock-Songs set. Not trying to hate for hate's sake but thats the way I sees it.

I was over myself long before I made that comment Carligula. I like the Privates and I heard it was an awesome party. I just don't like that song very much. The achievement of going platinum is absolutely to be congratulated. I'm just pointing out what I see to be the glorification of Mall Rock. I didn't say they lost credbility. What is credibilty on a local level anyway? Especially in this fuckin town!!!

it's a hard pill to swallow knowing these kids are making serious cash, living out OUR dreams and they are only a fraction of our age writing songs that WE think suck even though they are the ones succeeding exponentially on their sophomore effort, RIOT. 1 million albums sold is as easy as pie in 2008. Wonder how many albums they would have sold if this was 10 years ago... No doubt. I'm walking into spiderwebs just thinking about it.

sure it is. come on

Simple Mike's band is fucking great. Or was. I hope they re-form when their frontman comes home.

Sorry to dredge this tepid swamp, but I think I read an article in the NYT a while back about the "deal" these guys got. Anyone else read that? I'm a little fuzzy on the details, but wasn't it some sorta label gets it all kinda thing? I mean...that's a familiar verse, I know, but there was some sorta twist on it all, like they got to pimp you 100% & all you get is (wait for it) a steaming shit haircut. Someone more sober could possibly factcheck, but they (the label) take the merch $, the tour $, everything, but they give you the fool proof success promotional plan. Kinda like the Disney methodology or the Monkees or sumthin'.

I'm just sayin'.
