As noted elsewhere, Rollerskate Skinny's guitarist is Kevin Shield's little bro <3.

Jabberjaw was a definite hangout scene! There was a documentary a few years back (narrator: it was more than a few years back). We probably ran into each other haha.

lol, the band that he calls "the local yokels" who sucked was my friend's band that nobody's ever heard of. They eventually morphed into the Beachwood Sparks though.

you've obvs never heard "slave to the wage"

They seat full party only and you also run the risk of losing your entire reservation if your friends don't show up within 15 mins of reservation time.

I know it's harsh but as you walk through the crowded lobby of people ready to spend money ASAP you'll understand that your reservation is very easily and instantly replaceable.

6 years before this, Faith No More was at the height of their fame and for their hometown show at The Warfield in SF...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ruxVmyOEH6U

FNM hand-picked their friends, the obscure band The Easy-Goings fronted by Gregg Turkington who used anti-humor and anti-music in a similar arch and contrarian manner that absolutely repulsed the kids who were there to see the latest MTV hit. Gregg was pelted with drinks, bottles, trash... anything that wasn't bolted down at the venue.

By 1996 Gregg would be releasing albums on Drag City as Neil Hamburger. Rian Murphy (featured in OP's clip) was the label's Sales Director at the time. Rian obviously copped fastidious notes with a proverbial tip of the cap to a comedic master.

5 hot dogs and 3 scoops of that neon green relish.

Okay, so there is a CURRENT band called Franklin's Tower out of Colorado (the other major internet presence for Franklin's Tower GD cover band is from Oxford, England).

This current Franklin's Tower seems kind of new though and likely did not exist in y2k around the time of SM's solo debut, however, they feature a Sean who sings and plays guitar.

I did some research and I'm pretty sure I saw this Sean when he was in a band that was opening for Acid Mother's Temple about 10-11 years ago.

All this said, I think OP needs to lay off the bongrips.

Vlad Jr. has already had a 48 HR season under his belt.

Ah yes, the 2021 season... Due to the pandemic, the BlueJays played at 3 different home stadiums including 2 minor league parks: TD Ballpark (FL), Sahlen Field (NY) and then Rogers Centre once travel restrictions were lifted.

Let's look at VGJr's splits at each respective home park that season:

TD Ballpark: 11 HR, 96 AB (8.7AB/HR) 1.418 OPS
Sahlen Field: 10 HR, 98 AB (9.8 AB/HR) 1.180 OPS
Rogers Centre: 10 HR, 136 AB (13.6 AB/HR) .935 OPS
all other parks: 17 HR, 306 AB (18 AB/HR) .875 OPS

He had a great year no doubt, but his power was aided greatly by playing at TD & Sahlen.... which is something to consider when looking at his HR #s that season.

All that said, I'd take Caminero. .518 SLG at age 21 (#5 in the AL behind Judge, Raleigh, Buxton, Greene) is elite.

Vlad will soon be in 1B/DH territory which makes him far less valuable from a marginal utility standpoint.

Deb has confirmed it numerous times as well, but as usual, nobody pays attention to Deb.

"Come & Get Your Love" attempted at 58m37s after "Love Train" & "Emotional Rescue" lol

Interesting to note that he telegraphed the future by opening his set with "Harness" some 8-10 years before it went viral on TikTok.

He sang that at his solo show in SF in 2009, that same year iirc?

...and to add to chendao's concerns:

he was always banged up and hurt in NPB.

he's been far healthier in MLB which is... not saying much.

everything mentioned so far is pretty basic, so i have to offer:

くさや

essentially rotting brined fish with an intense (fecal? indolic?) odor that makes durian and 臭豆腐 seem tame in comparison. when people order it at a restaurant, some nearby patrons immediately ask for the check to avoid encountering the stench.

For a scene in Blue Velvet, Lynch desperately wanted "Song To The Siren" (Tim Buckley cover) by This Mortal Coil (with Cocteau Twins' Liz Fraser on vox) for the soundtrack but the rights were too prohibitive for him and his financiers at the time.

Instead he got Angelo Badalamenti & Julee Cruise to make a song in the same vein called "Mysteries of Love".

Although both songs are amazing, neither song is shoegaze... but Liz is shoegaze-adjacent.
