Oh Chad! You almost had me with that Winnie Cooper reference. But Winnie was always a tease and possibly a robot, incapable of truly expressing any emotion. In fact the actress who played Winnie Cooper (Danica McKellar) is a total math nerd author, clearly a robot (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Danica_McKellar).If anything Winnie was an expression of the unattainable. The girl you grew up next to who is supposed to be your sweetheart. Thankfully the Wonder Years was right in that Kevin and Winnie were never meant for each other. But I digress.
I will not be promoting The Teenagers today or any day. Their self-promotion and forced sarcasm to cover over their true nature of love only for their own career and satisfaction epitomizes one Winnie Cooper (and The Blakes for that matter). In fact, I would argue that their narcissism and lack of true feeling is why they appeal to their Anglo_European audience. But if it's cheap therapy for you go ahead.
Instead I offer up San Francisco's The Ghost Family (http://www.myspace.com/ghostfamilycom). A band that is so awesome you can't even buy their cd. And they only have 434 myspace friends. hahahahahahahhahharharhar!!! The teenagers have 89,756 myspace friends. Clearly the robots are winning.
This is a band I came across at a local house show. they projected home made cartoons on the wall while they were playing. These guys fart talent and it doesn't even smell. In fact after the show I went skinny dipping with them and a bunch of other cool cats and I did see boobs but I haven't talked about it until now, but yeah it was awesome. These guys are so awesome I don't even know the names of their songs, they won't tell you.
So suck it self promoting robots, the humans are out there and they know how to cry and laugh and play the guitar and piano and sing. Suck it Japan!
