mr. wendel

So I [heart] Radio1. If you have known me in the last 8 years or so, this is no secret or surprise. I listen to it a lot, though less so now that I'm on the West Coast — the time zones aren't as forgiving. But Fridays are always, always, always Radio1 days. I unplug from the iPod and rock Radio1 all day long. Why? Its all their 'weekend has landed' shows, dance and fun.

The day, right now, for me, starts with their afternoon wind down — Scott Mills doing the "Wonder Years" — they pick a year and play songs from that year. It's always the 90s and it's always awesome to revel in nostalgia.

Except today they played Mr. Wendel (from yr dirty boots). Oh man.

I bought the Arrested Dev Cd when it came out. I listened to it like twice and then sold it. I loathed it. And, judging from my reaction to hearing this song, I still do.

In fact, this might have been the album that prompted me to never buy a new CD without listening to it first.

I think I'm still gagging a little. At least they played Oasis ('Rock n Roll Star') afterwards. I can claim it as some sort of palette cleanser. Which is prob questionable under normal circumstances.

Update: Oh shit. Now they are playing Smash Mouth - "You're a Rock Star". If I hadn't been drinking coffee non-stop, I might be piercing my eardrums. As is, I'm bouncing off the walls, rocking out. This too is frightening news.
