Seems like now would be a good time to start performing some public services, while I am going around with my flat cap in my hand and asking “spare a shilling, guvnah?” with my sad waif eyes.
I will start by depositing here some nuggets of purest video gold that I’ve mined from other boards.
This has to be [url https://youtu.be/J0hQUlXPqCQ]one of the all-time most entertaining live concert failures I’ve witnessed. Just wait for the moment where the drummer loses a stick, and keep right on watching…
any other “winners” in this category?
EDIT: I linked to the wrong video earlier, rectified as of now.
Flat Duo Jets! ha yes… i remember those dudes. Athens band. 2-piece. Wow, you mischievous bastard. Of coarse, what are you gonna do, go “naw man, it was me, hit me!”. haha.
Flat Duo Jets??? Haha! I remember when they were around, yet I remember them solely because of their stupid name. They are literally one of those bands where I thought “What a stupid name! I’m sure they suck and I hate them.” Thank you for throwing a beer can at them, DJ. I don’t have to know what they sound like to know that they deserved far worse.
As for live TV fuckups. That recent Mariah Carey NYE gig was a colossal diaper dump. And completely unneccessary too. She could have easily just faked her way through the songs and filled in the dead spots with “Ooohhh yeeeaahhh, Babyyyy!!” and such.
It was so incredibly awkward for everyone and finally gave me a legit reason to hate her for reals.

Was about to post this sentiment pretty much verbatim when reading the original story. That band name is at Toad The Wet Sprocket levels of infuriating.
What honestly makes people think there’s something poetic or evocative about these dumb monikers? They sound like something that pops up when a co-worker is telling you some dream that can only be meaningful to someone who directly experienced it…
“…dude and then I was like, in this 7-11 that was the size of a full supermarket, and YOU were there! But it WASN’T actually you, because even though it looked and sounded like you, deep inside I knew you were actually Ernest Borgnine. And you started talking, and were saying something about ‘flat duo jets’ and it freaked me out so much that I woke up…”
I have nothing against the band name. Much better than something like The Dex Romweber Experience.
HAHAHAHA!!! I finally went to YouTube to give 'em a listen. I was honestly expecting some silly prog rock polished anal retentive shit, but was surprised to be 100% wrong. I was actually kind of into it, haha. It was more like a combination of a meth’d out gutter Elvis and The White Stripes than the coffee-housed King’s X I had imagined in my head.
I don’t need to go out of my way to listen to them again or to buy/download anything, but I could actually see myself enjoying them if they were a warm up act that I wasn’t able to avoid.
[url https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t18Dzwh76us]This one is not so much a “blunder” as just a weird concept all around (and you owe it to yourself to watch their “origin: possession” video for further enlightenment).
Be warned that the opening rant against ‘cable television’ and the like is quite intense, and may inspire cancellations of Dish Network services.
