a dilettante: acoustic, electric, alternative rock, subliminal, political, mindless schlock, underground, hate, love suicide, republican, debate, my inner child

Formed spontaneously in 1995 with the composition of the now classic "Hall's Way." Throughout the years, the band has produced such diverse cult hits as "J.C. (Jesus Commercialization)" and "Grey Idol" but the level of relative crappiness has remained the same. Come for the teen angst ("Garage Number 74"), stay for the heavy-handed political messages ("Jenna").

Lyrics

All of the stereotypically hot girls are in sororities

And all of the art girls are too cool for me

And all of the smart girls live with their boyfriends

And I'm standing here talking my way into a dead end

---

I'm not cool enough to hang out with your people
I'm not down enough to be down with your friends

I don't drink enough to hang out at your house
At two o'clock when the bar visit ends

I don't listen to the right kind of music
I'm not counter enough for the counter-culture rules

I'm not brave enough to talk to everybody
I'm not calm enough to put up with drunken fools

I'm not broke enough to spend all of my money
And I don't find vomit particularly funny

I've climbed Mt. Pleasant
There's a plateau of bars at the top
Where the cool, cool, cool people go
To ensure that their attainment of the status won't stop

And I know about the people that stay there

And I've caught glimpses of the ones who play there

And I can say I've tried talking to you

But you were looking at him and drinking and you'll forget, too
