Truly horrible lyrics that somehow work...

I consider the Feelies one of my five favorite bands of all time but I won't disagree with you. I think the first one (Crazy Rhythms) had some decent lyrics but after that they became very mundane. As you say, not bad just forgettable. -

I emailed wordless music who is running the event and they emailed back saying "check the Elephant 6 Town Hall message board." I went there and found a bunch of messages from people asking what the password is ...

A few years ago Bill Janovitz (from Buffalo Tom) was doing a weekly residency at a very small club (75 people max) in Cambridge. For one of the nights Pearl Jam was in town and there was a rumor that Eddie Vedder and Theo Epstein (Red Sox GM) were going to come over to the club. I went with a friend and we waited until about 12:30 when we figured they were not going to show up. We went across the street to the parking lot and talked for a while and then went home.

I remember seeing an ad in a Boston paper for a show "featuring members of the Pixies and Throwing Muses." As much as I liked both bands I didn't go. It turned out to be one of the few (maybe the only?) Breeders' show where Tanya Donelly played live. -
