now it's all coming back to be... the lashes "single" popped up on a couple comps and i thought it was a decent catchy song.  got their cd via La La and quickly discovered they are a one hit wonder at best and have already traded it away...

"You know how when you grow up, and you get suspicious about people from your childhood possibly being lamer than you remembered, but all you needed was some kind of closure or something to wrap it all up and prove that they really were lame? Yâ??know, like that kid who gave you your first beerâ?¦ he was really into Slayer, drove a Camaro, fingerbanged your babysitter, and you thought he was super rad cos he had a mustacheâ?¦ and then 10 years later you saw him bussing tables at a Sizzler.
 
 Well, that band Lifetime is a lot like that. We all kinda got tricked into thinking they were sorta ok way back there somewhere in the 90â??s. Somehow they would always end up on a mix tape some cute chick made you with a bunch of other bands that actually were coolâ?¦ like Jawbreaker and Sunny Day Real Estateâ?¦ and you were smoke-screened of their actual wackness cos they sounded sorta ok in between the good bands, and you couldnâ??t exactly put your finger on what was lame untilâ?¦â?¦ they reform years later, and fuckinâ?? FALLOUT BOY signs them to their record label. Ahhhhâ?¦ thatâ??s riiiiiightâ?¦ Lifetime always sucked. Itâ??s all so clear now.

Franz Ferdinand & Death Cab For Cutie was pretty bad, even though we had awesome seats, my girlfriend hated it, we left early into Death Cab's set.

Animal Collective would have to take it.  A couple of others were only "ok", but this was a solid thumbs down.

I figured that out when I saw them at the HFSestival a few years ago, they made Dashboard Confessional seem exciting on that day.

why is it that unless a band is dead, or on the front page of pitchfork, it's unaccpetable around here?
 
 lifetime didn't play fucking HFS.
