Mr Smash Mouth is brown bread

He didn't look well in 1997 but nonetheless it feels like one of those pivotal moments in terms of, the icons of my youth starting to die off, and not just of fluke black swan events like suicides and ODs.

Walking on the Sun was a classic, it's not his fault All Star got annoying through overplaying/Shrek.

RIP

honestly m88, if smash mouth were icons of your youth, pray to god they invent the flux capacitor so you can go back and have a better youth

I remember when the “Stacey’s Mom” guy died of covid and I thought, isn’t he some teen garage band dude who must still have been under 30? And no, turns out he was a decade older than me. Those guys were shit too.

Smash mouth were the worst thing to happen to "popular music" in a generation. I'm not glad he's dead but let's draw a line under that particular cultural disaster and refrain from farming any drama out of his demise. Agree?

they were absolute fvcking terrible, agreed

the real life equivalent of david brent’s band in the belayed Office film

Fountains of Wayne were the dogs’ and as usual lax your talking utter cock.about music.

I'd forgotten about Fountains of Wayne dying of COVID . Kind of cut from the same cloth I guess.

One hit wonder classic

Brent's band weren't the bad thing in that Office film... The bad thing was the Brentishness of Ricky Gervais in writing and producing it. An absolute abomination from start to finish and glorified fan fiction as far as I'm concerned
