― Zeno, Monday, 14 July 2008 15:31 (eighteen years ago)

Lavender Diamond seems like the odd-duck in this list.

― Daniel, Esq., Monday, 14 July 2008 15:31 (eighteen years ago)

No Gang Wizard?

― Ned Raggett, Monday, 14 July 2008 15:33 (eighteen years ago)

i went with wiki.
but the poll is just an excuse for talking about the smell so feel free

― Zeno, Monday, 14 July 2008 15:35 (eighteen years ago)

My one time there as a performer was amusing.

― Ned Raggett, Monday, 14 July 2008 15:36 (eighteen years ago)

silver daggers are the only one of this group who've but out a record i actively enjoy, tho i hold out hope for mika miko

― J0rdan S., Monday, 14 July 2008 15:40 (eighteen years ago)

actually it's HEALTH, and yes, HEALTH

― I know, right?, Monday, 14 July 2008 16:00 (eighteen years ago)

Have had the most *sustained* fun with The Mae Shi I guess but I like Health, Mika Miko and Upsilion's records just fine

carla seems too old to play at the smell. i was there a few weeks ago and felt like a grandma.

― get bent, Monday, 14 July 2008 18:17 (eighteen years ago)

the first I ever heard of The Smell in the late 90s was always hearing about Carla's projects playing shows there, which I'd always be jealous of since she so rarely toured on the east coast.

― some dude, Monday, 14 July 2008 18:22 (eighteen years ago)

old'n'gray or not, i think carla could kick most these guys' asses. latter-day avant-dorks seem like such wusses.

e.g. HEALTH:

I wish you hadn't posted that photo.

― I know, right?, Monday, 14 July 2008 20:02 (eighteen years ago)

for real

― get bent, Monday, 14 July 2008 20:03 (eighteen years ago)

Christ almighty, Carla by a million miles. And I'm a No Age 'n' Cronies apologist. But wait... is that THRONES Thrones?! Like, Joe Preston?*

* (I'd still vote Carla, even if I haven't heard much of her output for the last couple of years).

― Savannah Smiles, Monday, 14 July 2008 20:17 (eighteen years ago)

Carla, but she seems sorta outa place among these younger cats.

Mika Miko's telephone sketch is pretty played out, n health are entertaining for like 5 mins live.

Is John Wiese not part of this scene? I like him.

― yungblut, Monday, 14 July 2008 20:46 (eighteen years ago)

not heard evangelista's new album yet tho.

― yungblut, Monday, 14 July 2008 20:47 (eighteen years ago)

Carla Bozulich is a smell regular?

― I know, right?, Monday, 14 July 2008 20:57 (eighteen years ago)

Hello Astronaut, Goodby Television

― gr8080, Friday, 18 July 2008 23:04 (eighteen years ago)

― gr8080, Friday, 18 July 2008 23:05 (eighteen years ago)

― J0rdan S., Tuesday, 22 July 2008 03:06 (eighteen years ago)

― J0rdan S., Tuesday, 22 July 2008 03:06 (eighteen years ago)

Yes, yes, y'all - you don't stop
You keep it on - and shockin' the place
Well I'm M.C.A. - I got nothing to prove
Pay attention - my intention is to bust a move
I drink quarts and cans and bottles and sixes
Between the turntables keep the vodka and the mixes
I'm Mike D. - I got the deuces wild
A list of girlies numbers that I've dialed
I do the Smurf, the Popeye, and the Jerry Lewis
I like Bullwinkle but I don't like Moose
I'm schoolin' in the boys' room - coolin' by the locker
All the girls in class know that I'm the cool rocker
Punk in the hall - man I should of oughtta hit him
Had the fresh rhymes and the kid cold bite 'em
Smokin' in the boys room is what I do best
While you were at a party - your girlfriend fessed
I keep a pistol in my pocket so you better be cautious
Fly around the world - but it makes me nauseous
Mike D.'s day off everyday of the week
I got to the party - and I did the freak
I got a girl in the Castle and one in the pagoda
You know I got rhymes like Abe Vigoda
I'm a Def Manhattan killer - a rhyme driller
A mike in my hand and a mouth full of Miller
I got a hat not a visor - I drink Budweiser
The turntables - up on the drum riser
The needle's in the groove and the vinyl's on the platter
I know that I'm fly man there's no need to flatter
I travel around the globe - it's keeping girlies dizzy
My name's Mike D. - now watch me get busy y'all
