  • I command you to heed!

    Alrighty, so I started this group a while ago as a joke, sort of. Oh, hey, the Giant Midgets, whoopie. I pretty much condensed all the music I was listening to at the time and tossed it into one big bowl.

    Other people thought the bowl was pretty tasty, so they started dipping into it. Why? I know not. At any rate, a miniature mob has formed at nearly 75 weirdos.

    I'm going to start recommending artists that I think sound great and that the fellow Giant Midgets would appreciate. I should hope others amongst you would pry out gems from their collections that others of our cabal would appreciate.

    I tossed four of them up:

    Strapping Young Lad - a group I just got into, but fell madly in love with. Their sound is loud, agressive and oftentimes humorous. What more could one ask for?

    Murder By Death - They're strangely delicious, like a whiskey-flavored gelato.

    Lard - Jello Biafra and Ministry? How are people not shitting their pants over this?

    The Protomen - The unsung protectors of humanity. No mortal would create a rock opera about Rock Man - they, friends, are gods.

    You didn't become a gargantuan dwarf for no reason, did you?

    Here's one from my corner:

    Freezepop. They are a synthpop band based out of Boston. Their songs are very entertaining, and they sound like they were written on a Gameboy. (Incidentally, they use a piece of electronics called the QY-70 to perform a lot of their songs, and it looks an awful lot like a Gameboy....) Singing about falling in love with a robot, stealing bikes, and stalking Tracy Gold? Utilising a Speak-n-Spell in one of their songs? How can you lose?

    It's food nouveau... the shape of love.

  • Freezepop sounds like they're kickass! What child growing up watching Growing Pains wouldn't want to stalk Tracy Gold? Personally, I'd be stalking Boner. Do it for the kids!

    Edit: Holy crap, I think I saw these guys on Attack of the Show! once with their Gameboy-looking sound-maker-thingy.
