  • [Stereo] Evan Dando and his expanded lineup of the band perform on late night USTV. He seems to complain that his voice was suffering, but the song doesn't.

    His exhausted throat makes this version pretty sweet. Love it.

    Seems like they were underrated at the time, and now have been kind of forgotten. They were definitely one of my favorites. So catchy and fun.

      Same generation here. Sociologist say that music has become less important compared to 70s-90s. Back than it was more important for identiy development and group belonging.

      The interesting thing about them is their first album was a punk album, kind of like Beastie Boys.

    There is perhaps no better example of talent ruined by excessive drug consumption than Evan Dando. Who knows what he could have done if sober? Possibly something more than than a good to occasionally very good songwriter. There is a general laziness that pervades much of his work that goes much deeper than the "slacker" attitude. This can be seen most frequently in the lyrical content of his songs, which are filled with strung together and often bizarre nonsequeters. This song in particular is a good example. Until recently I hadn't released that the line was actually "Khmer Rouge/Je Ne Sais Quoi/Your place or Mein Kampf" - Referencing two brutal dictators. How apt that this song is a description of an episode of drug-induced psychosis.

      ​@@curragh4635totally agree, it's heart breaking how affected he is from our Ng term drug abuse. Some of the footage on his yt really cuts deep at how it's messed him up.
      Still has a voice like velvet though
