  • We are BEYOND stoked to finally officially announce something we have been teasing for quite some time.... The first ever & band approved vinyl release of Where have all the merrymakers gone? from Harvey Danger. Pre-order it now & grab a t-shirt via the Package Deal spot and save $3 @ nslp.co/harveydanger.
    This release includes a gatefold jacket with Special Liner Notes written by Sean Nelson, and an entirely new layout done by the band to celebrate the release.
    "Under the long shadow of 17 years' worth of memory, I must say that listening back to the 10 songs that changed everything for us is a bracing sensation. To hear the person you were when you weren't yet who you are now is to understand how little you understood, and to recognize how little you even could have understood. This is doubly bracing when you consider that the person you were then had everything riding on the depth of his understanding. It's tempting to be hard on your past self, the one who made all those idiotic mistakes, who scorched so many friendships, who insisted he knew exactly what we was doing while steering car after car into ditch after ditch. And yet, temptations aside, it feels a lot better, and in a much bigger way, to hoist hindsight's binoculars to your deteriorating eyes and spy something you love." (full inscription from Nelson can be found in the liner notes of the vinyl LP).

    In our current world of non-shared pop culture (ie not everyone experiences the same things around the same time), people today could not possibly imagine how insanely popular this song was in the late ‘90s. It was EVERYWHERE at once for a a brief period of a few months.
    Radio stations were playing it.
    Record stores were selling the album.
    Napster was peaking and this was one of the most shared songs.
    MTV was playing the video non stop.
    Teens all over North America were enjoying this tune.
    You don’t see that phenomenon anymore. Even the most popular artists like Taylor Swift don’t get to put out songs that the entire collective enjoys at the same time because people experience music in way too many different mediums at their own leisure. Pop culture is fragmented. Now you can’t even watch a show on TV and expect that even 25% of the people you talk to at work or school experienced it too.

    I love the music video for this song so much.
    It shows the band pushing their instruments through a series of parties - aloof martini-drinkers, goths, weirdos in a rave - and being completely ignored by every single person around them. This would imply that they don't fit into any of these subcultures, and in a less cynical video, that would lead to them finding their people by the end. But no: they get on stage, set up their instruments, and rock out in front of their true audience... nobody. Bloody refreshing, and darkly comedic. I love it.

    I had visions, I was in them
    I was looking into the mirror
    To see a little bit clearer
    The rottenness and evil in me
    Fingertips have memories
    Mine can't forget the curves of your body
    And when I feel a bit naughty
    I run it up the flagpole and see who salutes
    (But no one ever does)
    I'm not sick but I'm not well
    And I'm so hot 'cause I'm in Hell
    Been around the world and found
    That only stupid people are breeding
    The cretins cloning and feeding
    And I don't even own a TV
    Put me in the hospital for nerves
    And then they had to commit me
    You told them all I was crazy
    They cut off my legs, now I'm an amputee, God damn you
    I'm not sick but I'm not well
    And I'm so hot 'cause I'm in Hell
    I'm not sick but I'm not well
    And it's a sin to live so well
    I wanna publish 'zines
    And rage against machines
    I wanna pierce my tongue
    It doesn't hurt, it feels fine
    The trivial sublime
    I'd like to turn off time
    And kill my mind
    You kill my mind, mind
    Paranoia, paranoia
    Everybody's coming to get me
    Just say you never met me
    I'm running underground with the moles, digging holes
    Hear the voices in my head
    I swear to God it sounds like they're snoring
    But if you're bored, then you're boring
    The agony and the irony, they're killing me (whoa)
    I'm not sick but I'm not well
    And I'm so hot 'cause I'm in Hell
    I'm not sick but I'm not well
    And it's a sin to live this well

      According to the CDC's numbers almost 4 times as many people have died from regular Influenza in the US since the first of the year then have from coronavirus, it's so high this year that the CDC has declared it to be at "epidemic levels", yet not one mention of that in the news.

      They were really disappointed this song became a mental health anthem when it was designed as a mockery of the grunge movement of the early nineties. Even the name Flagpole Sitta was meant to evoke and compare the silly, attention-grabbing antics of the flagpole sitters in the 1920s to the same attention grabbing aspects of the grunge movement.Yes, they understood there were secondary (sexual) interpretations of the flagpole sitter theme and they happily played it up in the first stanza.
      Harvey Danger was just a college band poking fun at some of the negative vibes of bands like Nirvana, Alice In Chains, and Pearl Jam at the time.. They had no idea what was to come. Within a few weeks of Flagpole Sitta hitting the radio it became a hit and changed their lives forever. They were completely unprepared for the success.

    There was just a fascinating show on NPR this morning about this song, and this band. The band was a one hit wonder, Harvey Danger. The program talked about the band getting together as kids, and none of them even knew how to play an instrument, yet they went on to make this one hit. The show also  talked about the mental pain and anguish about only having one hit song.  Most people they interviewed for the show didn’t know the name of the band or the song, but they knew this song when it was played for them. I love how self depreciating the video is. The band is pushing through a crowd of people having a great time to set up their equipment.  On the way, people are either ignoring them, or using their equipment to put their drinks on. Then they finally get it all set up, and when this song is done, the crowd had cleared out. The lone clapping monkey at the end is perfect. 🤣

    my biggest regret in life is not driving to seattle to see them play before they broke up. they played for so long, i always thought i had another year to plan the trip. learn from my mistakes and just take the damn trip! what an amazing band and this song is a classic. the only reason they are considered a "one hit wonder" is because they decided to not pursue fame and touring, and just stayed in seattle

    They showed up, dropped a banger, and left to never be seen again with no explanation. Many such cases.
