GM's thread about nothing (47 Viewers)

Also, my 10 hour round trip commute tomorrow will be into the teeth of a "wintry mix" storm.

I'm such a whiner.

So...where are you going? From Portland to ??? 5 hours seems like a long drive for a state the size of Maine, though I have been to some remote spots up there, so know it's not all lobsters, lakes and LL Bean.

Well crap.

I don't know if this will help or hurt with the Guster crazyexes, but I wanted to say :excited: :thanks: and :tebow: for stepping up in the Great Secret Santa Debacle of 2011. Received this package in the mail today. No wonder GBGuster had to send it twice because it was returned the first time for insufficient postage! :lmao:

The contents are going to ensure that the krista4 house and cars will be clean and fresh for a good long time. Have to say this is much more awesome for me than special brownies! :excited:

Our friend Guster is the bee's knees, as people of Tanner's age like to say. :thumbup:

Darn. I should have just sent SLB a giant block of foam.

So if you were to ship the Giant Bock of Foam, would you protect it in the Box with bubble wrap or foam peanuts?

More foam, of course.
 
Whoa, missed this. The Showbiz that was around here was annexed by Cracktown decades ago and the building has been razed. :(

Haters gonna hate :kicksrock: And some of that stuff was actually purchased, but ultimately it was more of a "it's the thought that counts" move

It was awesome of you. And besides you spent like $15 just on postage. :lmao:
 
I always end up pissed off at Pandora. It always starts off good with a nice little mix of Americana and roots rock and outlaw country. And inevitably Pandora decides to serve up some whiny #### from a band fronted by Jay Farrar. Then I vote it down a couple times and Pandora decides that if I don't like the godfather of alt country then I must want to listen to Tim McGraw nonstop which makes me want to throw my laptop across the room.

Ain't there a better solution?

 
Meeting up with Random Makeout Chick in a couple minutes for drinks. Guess she missed me or something :shrug: not expecting anything to come from this, but I'll take a surprise visit!!

:excited: You just earned yourself one of the Fartbarf sticker packages I bought last night. It includes one for your bumper, which the kids will love, no?

I was gonna surprise Shuke with a Fartbarf concert shirt (for reals), because I thought he was the only one here to realize the genius of Fartbarf. But all they had was the black and white one (seen HERE). It's horrible and impossible to decipher. I can't believe they don't make better shirts than that. I lectured their merch guy about it, explaining how much more money they could be making. I mean, come on, I was good for half a dozen at least. What a splendid gift they'd make!

So I bought 3 posters for 12 bones (deal), and the bright "caution orange" day-glo stickers instead. HELLO, there's your shirt right there, Fartbarfers!

 
Holy crap, the lady the Seinfelds have to convince there is no treasury stealing dealie is the same lady that's happy gilmores grandma!

 
​Josh McLeod is the lead singer of Fartbarf, a South Bay band that performs something they call analog electronic thrash music. They've gotten hate mail saying their music's not really thrash, but who cares? They're called Fartbarf. We contacted McLeod to talk about how they came up with the name Fartbarf, what their grandmas think about the name Fartbarf, and how Fartbarf can be a verb.

Why Fartbarf?

Yeah, it's pretty much the worst name in the world. We started in 2008; the name kind of came before the band. Farting is funny, barfing is painful, so those two verbs seem to fit well with the music we make. It also sets a very low bar when people come to see us, so it actually helps, because it sounds like an 11 year old's punk band. It started as a joke, but it kind of snowballed. We got flown to Scotland to play the RockNess Festival in 2010. So now we're kind of stuck with it.

What do your grandmothers think of the name?

​I actually gave my grandma one of our shirts and I think she wears it. On our logo (right), you can't really decipher what the name says. We give all our family Fartbarf shirts.

Did you consider Barffart?

Yeah. It's funny; a lot of people can't pronounce it as it is now. 50% of the people literally can't pronounce those two words combined.

Which part of your name do you think more encapsulates what you're all about, the fart part or the barf part?

I would say the barf part. We've all done more than our fair share. We do a lot of drinking before shows.

What other bands' names have inspired you?

Mr. Bungle is a good one. It seems kind of arbitrarily chosen, and their musical style is a big influence too. When we finally came to grips that we couldn't change our band's name -- because we'd played so many shows -- we realized that a lot of our favorite bands have have terrible names too. Metallica is a pretty terrible name. Pink Floyd is pretty terrible too, when you really stop to think about.

Do you think Fartbarf will be remembered in 40 years?

I would hope so. We're trying to do something different. We're staying true to playing only analog synthesizers. We're always out of tune, depending on the weather and the humidity -- and the voltage, when we were in Scotland.

Have you ever farted and barfed at the same time?

Yes. I think it actually happened in Scotland. Also, I'm almost positive our drummer Brian fartbarfed after we played our show in Cleveland. He normally doesn't drink at all, but we got him really drunk on Jager bombs. After the gig at 3 am we went to a place like Denny's called The Eat'n Park there, and Brian tried the weird mustardy-looking sweet special sauce. He was puking everywhere and farting too. He definitely achieved fartbarf.

Pretty sure Fartbarf is my new favorite band

How was the show?
