by (kid-make-money) @ Mon, 06 Nov 2006 14:32:55 -0500 The 90s seemed to be the last gasp for the garage-rock band’s one-hit wonder. But, whereas the past forty years had lived up to the archetype laid out perfectly in Tom Hanks’ That Thing You Do!—wherein a band (in the film, “The Wonders,” yuk, yuk) has one great song that grows from the local level to briefly hit the national level, only to fall hard—the ‘90s broke the mold: the bands that ended up being one-hit wonders almost always had more strong material behind them that could have easily put them over the top.

(If only they’d had a record company who was looking for more than just the flavor-of-the-month…)
Case-in-point: Superdrag, a Knoxville, TN based band who signed with Elektra Records after the success of their debut EP, The Fabulous 8-Track Sound of Superdrag. With a sound that was equal parts Weezer and British Invasion, Superdrag was sure to be successful, and they were: at least for a while. They made an album, 1996’s Regretfully Yours and the group’s video for their first single “Sucked Out” became a “Buzz Clip” on MTV, joining the ranks of other one-hit wonders like Primitive Radio Gods’ “Standing Outside a Broken Phone Booth With Money in My Hand” and that “Cantaloop (Flip Fantasia)” song.

Superdrag took the good will they’d garnered from Elektra, went up to Woodstock, NY and made a glorious second album complete with orchestras, pianos, and (predictably) songs that weren’t quite as commercial as its predecessor. It was the album they’d always wanted to make, and they had been given the money to make it. Unfortunately, the suits didn’t want Superdrag’s Pet Sounds.

They wanted the hits. But the way Elektra reacted to Head Trip in Every Key; you would have thought they’d made Metal Machine Music. It’s so cliché, it’s almost sick.

The label cut the band’s funding and eventually Superdrag asked to be dropped from Elektra.
This is why I don’t get labels. It just doesn’t make much sense.

Listen to “Do the Vampire,” it’s all crunching, catchy riffs, poppy choruses, and harmony vocals. Sure it’s not quite the same brand of sugary pop as “Sucked Out,” but it’s not “Revolution 9” either; it’s not even “El Scorcho.” Maybe there’s that slight lag in the middle and they were afraid the stupid audience would think the song was over and change the dial.

I don’t know much, but it sounds like a radio hit to me. But this was 1998, the year Kid Rock and Limp Bizkit were breaking out. Did Superdrag’s brand of power-pop really stand a chance against “Nookie”?

Superdrag’s next album, In the Valley of Dying Stars (released on the indie label Arena Rock Recordings) starts off with “Keep It Close to Me,” which begins with an obvious ode to the band’s former employers, “I want rock n’ roll, but I don’t wanna deal with the hassle.” As if to rub it in Elektra’s face even more, Stars is a far more commercial effort than Head Trip.
The band’s last gasp was 2002’s Last Call for Vitriol, an album with a sound that varied wildly; going from Replacements-esque alt.

rock to straight up Eagles rip-offs.
Unfortunately, in 2002, front man John Davis, an alcoholic, became a born again Christian and decided “the band was a mouthpiece for the life he left behind.” He moved to Nashville and has become a session musician and released a couple of surprisingly good, Beach Boys-influenced gospel records.

This band wasn’t The Wonders. They had the songs and they had the chops, but, as is the case with many of the ‘90s casualties, no record companies were willing to give them a chance to prove it, and the band eventually just didn’t want to “deal with the hassle.” It wasn’t worth it.

And it’s the listening audiences that lost out.

. the dog days of summer. August is here and pretty soon everyone will be heading back to school.

Only this time, I will have been smoke-free for an entire year. Yeah, that''s right I used to inhale cancer with the best of them. Then I finally decided to kick the habit since I enjoy breathing and not reaking of shit.

Here''s a brief history of my smoking life. I picked up my first cigarette when I was probably 3 or 4 years old, but my mom said Drop that shit now, or I will stuff your mouth with your rectal thermometer. I stopped, dropped, and rolled that cig out of my sight.

Sophomore year of high school came around and the addiction kicked in. I thought it was the nicotine or perhaps the other carcinogens in the smoke that kept me hooked, but apparently it was the oral fixation or the desire to look badass or hardcore or hardcore badass since I didn''t learn how to inhale until Bahrando taught me. THANKS B!

@#!!!

(there''s your shoutout, hoped you liked it.) Now that I know how to inhale, it''s easy to pick out people who are just smoking and not inhaling but believe that they are. YEAH THAT''S RIGHT, I KNOW WHO YOU ARE.

Throughout high school, I would smoke during lunch breaks and after school to deal with all the stresses of high school. YAYA! sisterhood.

I went from smoking about a pack a week until last summer when I fumigated Philip Morris tobacco warehouses. Now it was easy to smoke more than a pack a day due to working 60 hours a week with a crew of 40 tumor addicts. Even though I was aware of all the dead animals, bugs, toxic fumigating chemicals, bird droppings, and even human urine that is exposed to the bales of tobacco, (and never cleaned after that, might I add.

) I continued to puff away. GUNG HO! I got to school on August 16 with half a pack of Marlboro Milds and had to finish them.

I took my last drag on August 21st, 2002 and never looked back. WHORE! So that is my history of smoking.

Now that I''ve been on both sides of the fence, I am perfectly eligible to state how smoking is a waste of time, money, and lung capacity. Check it: A pack of Marlboros, Camels, or any other top brand (trust me there''s a difference between cheap, shitty tobacco and premium brands. And that difference is the amount of bird diarrhea and rat semen you are inhaling.

) typically costs around 3 bucks a pack here in the great Commonwealth of Virginia. That''s easily 20 bucks a week for any of you real smokers. 20 bucks you could send to me.

Move up north and pay 30-40 bucks a week. Smoker''s breath is disgusting. Girls are not attractive with a cigarette in their mouth, no matter what motions they use.

Phlegm and excess body hair is attractive, but that''s not the point. It reaks and it is gross. Being able to breathe when running is quite possibly the greatest high in the world.

HAHAHA riiight, but hey it''s up there. You never have to worry about bumming a smoke from somebody else, or bumming out cigs to the wigger in the corner. I don''t care how smoking may help your social life, because it''s really helping your social death!

HAHAH. GET IT!?

! I don''t even need to go into how bad smoking is for your health. None of you will listen since you are all invincible.

No really you are, pull that trigger. Waaaah, I''m so stressed out I need a cigarette. Cry me a river because you have no backbone.

Hey noodlespine, eat shit and die! The patch, gum, and other methods of quitting smoking is a multi-billion dollar industry which feeds off a bunch of lowlife scum who have no will power to quit. Quitting cold turkey is the way to go, and after the first week.

.. you should be in the clear.

If you still can''t kick the habit, kick the bucket. There you have it. Smoke free is the way to be!

And yes, I am speaking in a condescending manner and yes, I AM BETTER THAN YOU. SMOKERS ARE LOSERS. Now it is time to hand the spotlight over to my good ol'' pal Mike.

Here take the spotlight, Mike. He sent me pictures of his family vacation for his dad''s 51st birthday playing rugby. Girls love boys who love their mothers.

OOOH YEAH. Mike and Mike''s Brother are diehard Yankee fans. Uh oh, it''s a crazy spic and his bobblehead doll.

Roger Clemens and some other pitcher guy warming up only to get peed on. Now it''s back to the car to snap pictures that are better than the one James took. And to end it all with a bang, Mike''s Brother is a ghost!

Great fucking story, eh? Like the pictures, and now you want videos you say? Well check out Mike jumping off a cliff and Timmy videotaping girls'' booties.
