11. To quote the boys themselves, "What kind of idiot would name a band Alex Is On Fire?"
Edited on Sat Nov-11-06 03:07 AM by primate1
:P

(That's seriously what it says in the FAQ on their website, haha.)

It's "Alexis On Fire." They're named after Alexis Fire, the worlds only lactating contortionist stripper, or something along those lines.

23. Something like that. It's the reason their website is theonlybandever.com if I'm not mistaken.

25. I checked the ol' wiki...
Alexisonfire consists of five friends who formed a band in late 2001 as the result of a three-band break up. They played their very first show on tour in Denver, Colorado on March 27, 2001. The band's name is a sort-of homage to Alexis Fire, who claimed to be the world's only lactating contortionist stripper <3>. This caused problems when she discovered that they were using her website name as their band name, and threatened to sue. However, since she had never trademarked the title, nothing became of these threats. The band released its first EP, Math Sheet Demos in 2002 so named because the CD was wrapped in former drummer, Jesse Ingelevics' math homework. The first, self-titled studio album Alexisonfire was released that same year. Initially they faced hard times and received virtually no radio airtime, which continues to stand true today regardless of their popularity. This didn't hold the band back though, they broke out, gaining notoriety in the underground, and eventually mainstream with the support of MuchMusic.



Interesting.. BRB: I need to lactate.

22. No problem, may I add this:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bqVrt3TGB6k

Palmdale

No real video, but the song says a lot.

Afroman speaks a lot to me. I love country and love songs, but some rap really kicks in for me. Especially this song as I used to have friends in Palmdale, and this song covers a lot of areas I find worth examining. They wrote songs relating to their lives, which was a lot different than my life.

Eye opening in some ways (like their song, because I got high).

26. Not my style, but
I know what you mean about music that speaks to you. As cliche as it sounds now, that's how I'll always feel about Nirvana, which was "mine" before it became so popular. My "little group" of four best friends happened upon Nirvana early and latched onto them immediately and loved them right away. So I feel like I have a special claim to Nirvana even though it's so accessible and so popular now.
