roddy schrock used to have a band back in mississippi called "the wimps and the pussies" i always liked that...and like it a lot better than the radwimps. (you can also switch the first letter of each word and get a fun new meaning, which adds to the flava.)

Thanks for that Wimps and Pussies shout out r.! There's a reunion tour in the cards, for sure...

We were much more punk than Radwimps, but our achilles heel was our instrumental proficiency, it just got in the way. We clung to the punk though, our shouting and yelping drowned out the fact that we were actually playing in time and vocalizing in harmony. It's the tragedy of bookish wimps and pussies everywhere, trying to be punk when you're really too smart for the role.

the cult of the whip Japan style

Thats whimp. Sorry. Anyway, perhaps there will be a growing whimp as cultural icon trend?

i think the cult of the whip works fine too, esp. the japanese cult of the whip. i've been to a few s&m parties recently DJing, and i've got to tell you that they have an interesting spin on this concept here.

Hey, I was in a couple of punk bands in Mississippi too, way back in the day. Where were you, Roddy? What decade? The bands I participated in actually *were* wimps and pussies, for the most part, but we had much wimpier and pussier names than Wimps and Pussies.

r: interesting spin on which concept: DJing or S&M? Which in your opinion is more painful for the observer?

Punk bands in Mississippi, now *that's* a subgenre all its own. This was in a town called Starkville, circa '97. r. described Starkville as the Athens, Georgia of Mississippi. I think that's about right.

Right, and Jackson is the "New York of Mississippi."

exactly!!
