Was the band The Suntanama named after the ODB line in Damage?

The line where ODB meets a guy from Panama that got so dark because of "suntanama"?

I don't know why I wish to know if there is a connection between that line and the Drag City band of same name, but I do.

Thanks in advance!

yes, that is where their name comes from.

hstencil you should have an answer-man column!

― amateur!st (amateurist), Wednesday, 3 December 2003 21:42 (twenty-one years ago)

um, okay.

― hstencil, Wednesday, 3 December 2003 21:47 (twenty-one years ago)

i just like the idea of you having a column in "marie claire" where people ask you obscure questions about drag city bands and you respond monosyllabically.

I've been considering buying the fish and doctors 7" for ages. Should I do it stencil?

I have no idea what that is, so sure!

Hstencil,

my and my girlfriend have been having problems with our relationship lately. She seems to want to "progress" things, whereas I want to wait a while to see how things develop. My question is this: do I have a big ass?

Does WIll Oldham have a big ass?

dear hstencil,

last year my entire graduating class died in a flaming bus wreck. i find myself with lots of time on my hands, but i'm also feeling down occasionally. my question is, was that one royal trux lp reprinted with a different color sleeve?

― amateur!st (amateurist), Wednesday, 3 December 2003 22:22 (twenty-one years ago)

Donut Bitch, I haven't seen your ass.

Will Oldham doesn't have a big ass.

Amateur!st, I don't know, are you talking about Sweet Sixteen on Virgin?

hstencil, *how many* marble-colored vinyl copies of "Demolition Plot J-7" were pressed, anyway?

Is Drag City fun?

Dear Hstencil,

Who gets more groupie action: Billy Callahan or Billy Joel? We have a bet at my office. Thanks. Also which version of "Summer Babe" is your favorite, the one on the original single or the Winter Version from Slanted and Enchanted?

Not to nitpick, but that was GZA who did that line in "damage"

― King Kobra (King Kobra), Thursday, 4 December 2003 02:15 (twenty-one years ago)

BBT - I'm guessing 500?

Donut Bitch - do you mean the label itself or the label's office or the Jan & Dean song?

Alex - definitely Billy Joel.

― hstencil, Thursday, 4 December 2003 02:17 (twenty-one years ago)

Poor poor Billy Callahan.

― Alex in SF (Alex in SF), Thursday, 4 December 2003 02:18 (twenty-one years ago)

don't cry for him.

― hstencil, Thursday, 4 December 2003 02:21 (twenty-one years ago)

well, according to OHHLA.com it's 'suntama'

I'm not Stencil, but -- yes!! I love it!

Dear Hstencil,

I feel tired and listless, like I need some rejuvenation. Do you recommend yoga? How do you feel about "the Zone" diet? Why is the first Chestnut Station CD mastered so quiet?
