The word "wank" isn't a swear in the US, I take it?

― Elmer Fuiud (Noodle Vague), Tuesday, 15 February 2011 16:52 (fifteen years ago)

Wank may refer to:

WANK (computer worm), a computer worm that attacked DEC VAX/VMS systems through DECnet in 1989
WANK (FM), a radio station (99.9 FM) licensed to Lafayette, Florida, United States
Wank (mountain), a German mountain close to the Austrian border
Wank (sexual act), sexual stimulation apart from intercourse (masturbation)
Wank (surname), a surname
Wank (food), a chinese dumpling

― Mark G, Tuesday, 15 February 2011 16:54 (fifteen years ago)

well it's not like "FUCK", but in the US its normal connotation is masturbation

― I, Mr. Sneer Joy (Shakey Mo Collier), Tuesday, 15 February 2011 16:55 (fifteen years ago)

I'm sure they're far from the worst but I don't see how I can't vote for a band called Wank.

Summercamp - Pure Juice (1997)

Oh shit, I think I remember liking this. But I'll be damned if I can remember now what it even sounds like.

xpost I tracked down a track listing, but it's too dull to repost.

No idea what it sounds like now though.

What a weird, weird roster. It seems like something John Varvatos might put together.

This is a v weird roster tho. I haven't thought about Baxter in forever.

― Peter Pepsi (Abbbottt), Tuesday, 15 February 2011 18:46 (fifteen years ago)

how the hell did this company stay in business

Per Wikipedia:

Maverick has had noted triumphs with acts such as Alanis Morissette, Michelle Branch, The Prodigy, Candlebox, Venezuelan pop-rock singer Douglas Vale and the band Deftones. The label also had success with soundtracks for The Wedding Singer, Jackie Brown and The Matrix. In addition, Quentin Tarantino’s A Band Apart imprint is distributed by Maverick.

Unloco was dreadful and derivitive but Candlebox wins for being dreadful and derivitive longer.

if you seriously think alanis is the worst of this list i doubt you've heard anything but her from it

― ooma boogy wow wow (electricsound), Tuesday, 22 February 2011 00:03 (fifteen years ago)

I can't believe 4 people voted for Meshell Ndegeocello! You seriously think her Maverick albums are worse than Alanis, Love Spit Love, "Wank", or that terrible William Orbit classical LP?!

― Tuomas, Tuesday, 22 February 2011 00:09 (fifteen years ago)

i nearly voted for her just cos I knew you'd have an eppy

Summercamp! I've always wanted to hear the rest of "Pure Juice" but as of the past 14 years the only song I know from them is "Drawer."
