I'm awarding BOS #2 to "Sex Packets". Even if it is a bit of a Katrina Packet.
nakes? On my plane?

Oh shit, "Sex Packets". Sorry, I know this will win BOS and I'm baffled. Just baffled.  Baffled then, baffled now.

i never liked it as much as the humpty dance...

Pretty sad the Del Amitri wins BOS.  Hard to believe they got an even bigger ton of votes than Jellyfish.  More genius.

what was that about Big Rick playing one of these songs again later? Another ploy to get folks to listen longer?

Dave knows, like, three rap records. So that makes him an expert :roll:

Rap artists Dave has played (to my knowledge):

Digital Underground
MC Hammer
Vanilla Ice
Young MC
Tone Loc
Gerardo

How I would love to hear "The Message" or "I'm Chillin'" during an '80s set ...

Any idea what any of them are up to now? Jason Falkner played guitar with Air a couple years ago and puts out the occasional solo record, but no clue what Sturmer and the Manning brothers are doing.
Let's get right to it.

I don't think he's EVER played Young MC (wish he would) or Tone Loc. I'd've remembered that because "Bust A Move" is a personal fave. Unless it happened while I was on vacay in Nov. He's played Run-DMC (with Aerosmith) too. And I think "Rapper's Delight" once.

absolutely nothing. i've heard tons of stories about how they will never regroup (they were local cats, dig?), but i don't know why. i say andy's name credited somewhere as producer. and the mannings are working, but just not together...

I know the guy who directed the video for that. He lived in my dorm back at SF State. His name's Mark Solomon. He also plays the jilted groom at the end because the guy who was supposed to play the part didn't show.

The best part? Mark didn't even bother putting on a tux or a sport coat or anything to play the groom. He's just wearing one of his trademark striped short-sleeve shirts & jeans. Next time you see the video keep an eye out for him.

yeah, Peyt & Eli just don't get along. :wink:

Have you seen the Gatorade commercial with Peyton as a life-size action figure? some kid gets him as a b-day present.
