I'm generally awake at 3:30 a.m., and--occasionally--that's a great thing, mostly because of what you can find on the television. For example, last night I watched a Laguna Beach (season one, the height of the Kristin-LC duel!) marathon on some channel called Noggin; these things sometimes happen during the day, but not nearly as frequently as overnight. I mean, I just checked to see what Noggin was airing this afternoon, and I was smacked in the face with an episode of Blue's Clues. But anyway, the better-stuff-is-on-overnight rules apply even more when the subject is music. Think about it, when was the last time you saw a cool band rocking hard on TRL? That's what I thought. And those assbags Fall Out Boy don't count as a cool band, although that "Dance Dance" song was all kinds of sweet. Anyway...
Sometime in the area of two months ago I was channel surfing in my bed, and it was way past 3:30. I seemingly flipped through every goddamn channel before stopping on MTV2. The reason I stopped was a song called "Flathead," by some boys named The Fratellis. I thought, "That's a nice sound. Woo." Then I went to bed. The very next night, same thing happened, except my "woo" turned into a WOO! (or something). Upon wake-up, I bought their album, Costello Music, and haven't stopped listening. I even had a moment of gayness and bought one of their T-shirts! I guess what I'm trying to say is that they're kind of decent.
And then, two nights ago...same time, same channel...
I was watching a live, unplugged three song performance by the Fratellis on a show called Discover and Download, and my level of fandom instantly reached new heights. Check this and tell me if I'm crazy. To me, unplugging has never been this fantastic, not even by Nirvana or LL.
And you know what, those dickheads Hinder will sell approximately 80 trillion more albums than The Fratellis. The lesson: Teenagers are fucking stupid.
