Whiskeytown reunion hoax

Probably all the members who are not famous.

I'd like to know who cares. (Whiskeytown = most overrated alt-country band ever.)

Lamest hoax ever?

Whiskeytown = best alt.country band ever. Because they were actually good.

They were never better than OK. And there was (and is, depending on how you define "alt-country," which is surely not a subject anyone ever wants to open again) plenty of good-to-great stuff in the same or related genres over the past decade. But just for example: The V-roys!

It's not as good as The Great Moon Hoax of 1835 by John Herschel.

The front page of the New York sun ran an article that included an elaborate account of the fantastic sights viewed by Herschel during his telescopic observation of the moon. It described a lunar topography that included vast forests, inland seas, and lilac-hued quartz pyramids. Readers learned that herds of bison wandered across the plains of the moon; that blue unicorns perched on its hilltops; and that spherical, amphibious creatures rolled across its beaches.

Despite the intense public speculation about the moon story, the Sun never publicly conceded that it was a hoax. On September 16, 1835 the Sun did publish a column in which it discussed the possibility that the story was a hoax, but it never confessed to anything.

This hoax and others are all covered in The Motel Candlewasters debut album "Hierarchy Of Hoaxes" in a manner you'll find most agreeable. Please direct yourself here: www.thestairs.com/motelcandlewasters for some songs recorded in a fashion most cumbersome.
