They, at one point, had a bass played named Kyle Kyle. "I'm Kyle Kyle and we're Bang Tango" is the most awesome LSD-fueled, fever dream line ever.

Actually, I believe the show happened March 23rd instead because it got postponed when their manager committed suicide.

[K8teebug]

I need some stuff after 1995, please. My parents were weird about letting me go to shows in high school and I only saw Screaming Trees and Soul Asylum (I skipped Spin Doctors).

[Julian, Bespoke SEXPERT]

(I skipped Spin Doctors).

(Charlie slides a cassette across the desk)
Police Clerk: What is this?
Charlie: That right there is a tale of corruption and intrigue, the likes of which are gonna rock this city.
Police Clerk: (reading the label) "Spin Doctors Mix"?
Charlie: No, I taped over the Spin Doctors mix.

autobiographically?

This way I can write my own autobiography without picking up a pen. 
 
I'll be able to see how I got from The Who to Cowboy Junkies in twenty-five moves.  What I really like about my new system is that it makes me more complicated than I am.  To find anything you have to be me, or at the very least a doctor in Smackology. 
                         
If you wanna find the unused ticket stub to Frightened Rabbit, you have to know that I bought it for someone in the fall of 2009, but didn't take her for personal reasons.  But you don't know any of that, do you?  You would have to ask me to--
