Ben Weasel was a latchkey kid so a lot of their old songs are about TV shows. Screeching Weasel is the reason so many bands were started in the late 90s they’re albums really should listened to in their entirety as they’re bad ass!
Agree...especially with this album. It's loaded with really good songs, but there's not one particular song that stands out as great. But, when you listen to this album from start to finish, it floats perfectly from one song to the next...one of the most perfect albums of all time.
Yeah... that was a tough situation. I think you can only take so much shit being thrown at you and being physically abused all night by one fan regardless of sex before you stand up and defend yourself from physical harm...at some point it becomes self-defense. It's hard to say who was right and wrong in this situation....I think it's easy to see that the fan was in the wrong by most accounts, but did Ben take it too far? It's a curious question of how anyone would react in that situation. Security wasn't doing anything to protect the band before that point, but still, a bit of an overreaction perhaps?
Sad truth, this happens a lot between male bands and male fans. Hell, I was on the side of the stage watching Strung Out play when the late great Jim Cherry suddenly stopped playing, picked up the mic stand and blasted a dude in the head with the mic stand for trying to start fights in the pit with multiple people. Dude who got popped was bleading profusely, but the fighting and harming others stopped immediately. It was never a story. It happens at punk shows....unfortunately.
Screeching Weasel improve quite a lot after Boogada, with Wiggle,Anthem for a New Tomorrow,My Brain Hurts and How to make Enemies and Irritate people. After that they went shite again.

@@tim.kaiser_aka_timmaay hey Suburbia absolutely stands out as great
I love him he's one of my idols he spent time in Maine in an infamous troubled kids school
Sandra was referring to Sandra Bernhard I believe. She and Madonna were close friends and were regular guests on Letterman back in the late 80s
Love it. One of my SW favorites. Not their best but the guitar melody gets me.
The guitar is glorious, indeed.
I get so stupid over Ben Weasel and Vapid
Such a good album. I love them. Shame about that punching the girl in the face incident though. Kind of puts a stain on them.
Damn, I never knew that... That does indeed leave a stain on their name. 🙁 -Joel

She deserved it unlike Mike Ness punching the guy for wearing a MAGA hat.

They were always good they reached their peak with brain hurts and anthem
@@leahflower9924 Yep, I'd agree with that.
Boogada was a pretty dope album in its own right, IMO.
