Tubby can't count.

Mo-ther Love bone = 4 syllables

I-da-ho meth pro-ject = 6...WTF?
2
4 syllables too many at that.
3
What a fucking retard. Oh, I'm not supposed to use that word. OK, make up your own politically-correct word and imagine I wrote that instead.
4
That drummer is pretty hot.
5
Stupid name. Hot drummer.
6
Is he sure it's personal? Don't ya'll have those dudes that tear down everyone's posters 'cept the promoter they work for?
7
Someone want to go see 'em and report back? I love the idea of a rock band with a tuba player.
8
Also idiotic: Competing with an established program for google hits.
9
The purpose of this email was obviously to brag about having had sex with that drummer.
10
Tubby, I don't blame you for effing one of your bandmates.
11
She's got a pretty sweet hat on.
12
They'll break up in 1 year and a half, and then he'll be writing the whiny entitlement feature <3 years after that.
13
Well hello there little drummer girl...
14
Rock band with a tuba...could be amazing or really tragic.
15
Everywhere I go, I see Tubby's "three sylables" now.
16
Dear Tubby,

Please get over yourself. Every band in Seattle gets their posters torn down by the poster mafia. It's the way of the world. And what happens when a poster gets torn down? We put it up again. Practice vigilance and persistence. Leave self-pity at the door.

Thank you.

I actually like "Idaho Meth Project" as a band name.
18
Why did I read that?
19
Needs more cowbell
20
"WHAT THE FUCK IS THE FUCKING NAME OF YOUR FUCKING BAND, BRASSHOLE?" - Dan, this is exactly why I read your column, books and blog.
21
After having read that "I, Anonymous," I want to start tearing down his promotional signs.
23
I'll go - I want the drummer's number!
24
played that show in the picture with them. they're alright, not my style though. they were kind of stoner-rockish. i also dislike when bands have two drummers that play the exact same beats... at least try out some polyrhythms.
25
If he trolled you all for free pub then I love this motherfucker.

26
The poster mafia has a name: Poster Giant. Shame, shame, shame.
27
@5 "Stupid Name, Hot Drummer"

Now THAT'S what they should have called themselves.
28
Yep, that little ploy sure didn't work. You particularly didn't post it, and the band name, and photos, on a blog that gets even more hits than I, Anonymous...
29
@9 Spot the fuck on.
30
btw everyone, I see two drummers in that band... Look a little more closely at the top pic.

But yes, that girl drummer = lust!
31
That's a great band name. That drummer girl, mmm-mmm-mmmm.
33
How do you know it was the drummer....
34
heh. my dad's business helped fund the idaho meth project. like, the real one, not that tuba band.
35
That totally HOT drummer fucked that dude blowing something? Jesus christ. And I wasted all this time sucking at playing guitar when I should have practiced at sucking at playing tuba. My reality is shaken to the fucking core, man.
36
There are so many reasons why that rant cheered me up. It's like my own little IGBP.
37
Gotta be the gay secks. No way that chick fucked that turd.
38
If you Google "Idaho Meth Project" hoping to get more pics of that drummer, you will totally regret it.
39
Very cute drummer girl/s.
40
@22: same here.
41
2 drummers in a band is stupid. What are we, grade eights who won't stop fighting over who gets to play what? I'm sorry, one of you will HAVE to suck it up and play the clarinet.
42
Oh my god I want that drummer soooooooooooooooooooo fucking muxh! Yes there is an "equis" in "much" but who cares? Go fuck yourself!
43
Tubby's tuba needs some brasso.
44
Wow, you ALL suck, one day ago SLOG commenters were blasting Ben Whatshisname for being a generic indie rocker who's band wasn't original and didn't try hard enough and now you're all "two drummers and a tuba!?! what? not on my watch! and lets talk syllables!"
This band has two drummers (ahem, pavement?) and a fucking tuba player! A fucking tuba player who cares enough to either A) put up fliers all over town, then play the tuba outside of random diners handing out fucking handbills, then check the fliers, and then go home and be all "hey internet people stop pulling down my fliers" or B) just write one I anonymous clever enough to get the attention of Savage and get seen by way more people than any filer would.
What do you want from bands you guys?
45
@ 44, personally I want bands to stop sucking, and gimmicks like this are real likely to be an attempt to cover suckiness. But I realize that I'm just an old man (40) who doesn't get what these kids are up to anymore, and that my judgment is probably impaired by this condition.
46
@ 44 Never complain and never explain

It's in the official rule book right between "the show must go on" and "don't wear your own bands t-shirt".

47
After reading through his submitted letter, I was certain that he left the band name out because it was completely apparent: Sic Throughout. It is three syllables, after all.
48
So all the hot drummer chicks are hiding out in Seattle?

Duly noted.
49
@45 You want bands to stop sucking but you're wearing a Black Flag t-shirt in you avatar? is that ironic? I loooove Black Flag but let's be honest here, they sucked, and wasn't that the whole point? They didn't play music very well but their music had a certain 'feeling' that transcended their complete inability to make "good" music?
But man were they different, they tried so hard that even though their music was horrible it was somehow good and inspired (hopefully) three generations of weirdos to get in the van and spread goodtimes around the country.
Maybe I'm naive but when I saw those pictures I immediately thought "wow, they look like some people who know how to have a good time and are at least trying something different and I'd like to see it happen"
I'm as jaded as anyone when it comes to rock but I've seen more than my share of talented musicians playing mediocre shows at amazing venues and I'd so much rather see Idaho Meth Project in a shitty basement.
50
Led Zep-pe-lin.

Four, as well.
51
Ohhhhh. You're all talking about the drummer in the front. Yeah, I'm sure she's fine.

The one in the back looks like way more fun though.
52
"Led Zeppelin" is three syllables: try it. If you pronounce it with four syllables, you're doing it wrong.
53
i'm just still laughing that dan said S.T.P. "obviously stands for seattle **tube** project" and nobody made a dirty joke.
54
Tuba in a rock band? Pfffft, it's been done.

Opus in Deathtöngue, aka Billy and the Boingers, circa 1986. You kids have no sense of history.
55
1. Learn to spell.
2. Quit whining.
56
PS: WE BOTH SMOKE WEED.
57
@51 exactly.
58
@51, it's the same chick. Ditto with the "I'd like to diddle that one" crowd.
59
Oh, and someone needs to come out with "Hot Drummer Chick" T-shirts...
60
That girl drummer is HOT!

I second the Hot Drummer Chick t-shirt idea.
61
hmm I have no cluuue which bandmate he fucked.... what a loser that he needs to brag about such a ridiculous thing. That dude needs to get a life. I bet his band sucks.
62
Wait there are two drummers and a tuba.

What.

Please wait...
