yeah, I get it. :p

I live in Oklahoma City, but I lived in Dallas for a long time.

before Tripping Daisy, they were just a local band that would play at the parties we went to ($50 kegs of Shiner Bock meant lots of parties).

it's been about 4 years since I've even bothered to catch the Spree live.

I have to give it to him though, few people can levitate like Tim.

Looks like a bunch of people I'd never want to cross paths with.

SynthethicalY 03.27.2007 10:39 PM

well, 25 to 1 odds don't put many match ups in favor of the loner. other than that, I'm pretty sure you could take them!

I'm telling ya, they're just a bunch of soft-handed hippies!!


Synth: the first pic is from my camera and no it's not photoshopped. the second is off the band's site and I don't see anything out of the ordinary (assuming you live in Jonestown, Guyana).

Brett Robinson 03.27.2007 10:44 PM

really?

I'm going to say the morose theremin player third from the left.

SynthethicalY 03.27.2007 10:47 PM

Also the girl way in the back of the lead singer, she also seem placed oddly.

floatingslowly 03.27.2007 10:54 PM

they're odd people.

how else could you place them?

Polyphonic Spree is a terrible name for a band. In fact, most bands that have technical sounding terms in their names ought to change them for the benefit of humanity. Take Stereo Total, for example: not a terrible band per se, but that name gives them an air of instant disposability.

I was browsing through an online shop recently and came across:

The Cutest Puppy In The World

I couldn't resist finding out more, and was delighted to find that I really liked them.
