Actually, I feel exactly the way you do. I enjoy their music
and find it clever, but I don't enjoy it on a level beyond
I enjoy a funny but not-exactly-plot-inspired sitcom, like
"How I Met Your Mother" or something. I mean, I enjoy
the show when I have a free half hour, but I don't build
my Monday night schedule around it like I do (did) "Arrested
Development."
I went to college with these guys. I was in the rival campus
cover band (though I fully admit thay were a zillion times
better than us.) I'm sure Adam is trying to hide this part
of the past, but since he's ignored my e-mails ever since he
hit the bigtime I have no problem spreading the word. His
band was called "The Rhythm Method" ("the only band
endorsed by the pope") and they covered a lot of early
80s new wave hits. They made a recording of some
songs for a winter term project one year, so they obviously
always had that ambition.
