      I'm not a huge fan of the vandals, but they're good. They were pretty funny at warped tour. The lead singer guy is pretty crazy.

      They weren't on the tour when I went, so I'm really jealous, especially since they don't tour much anymore. But I did see them a few years ago on Warped, and have loved them every since.

      Well shit, I'm the only Vandals fan around here. That breaks my little black heart. John and Scott said they liked em and The Vandals mentioned RBF in a song on their last "real" album, "Hollywood Potato Chip"

      It couldn't be worse. From chorus to verse.
      It sounds like Korn but a little bit worse.
      Is it Christian or Canadian? Guess!
      On 90.7 it's bad 311.
      Evidently it's a hit. But it stinks to high heaven.
      Is it Christian or Canadian? Guess!

      Play the game that isn't fun, can't be ignored,
      and can't be won. Someone get me a gun.

      It sounds kind of emo, or not so tight screamo.
      And he keeps saying 'Him', so i'm gonna say homo.
      Is it Christian or Canadian? Guess!
      He's wearing a sweater, like '98 Vedder.
      But it's 2002, and the song could be better.

      It's said that those that cannot do
      will end up teaching stuff to you,
      or some of them find God instead or better yet the border.

      I cannot quite place it. It sounds like Ocasek.
      But 20 years later, so you might as well face it.
      Is it Christian or Canadian? Guess!
      It's so non-commitish, like light Reel Big Fish.
      Or rock en Espanol, translated into English.

      James is a huge Vandals fan, and so is Rachel. But neither of them seem to come around here for some reason.

      Cool and thanks. I figured with the similar senses of humor they'd be a little more well known round here. Not to mention that Joe from The Vandals started Kung Fu Records which started "The Show Must Go Off" series.

      And Josh Frese is one killer drummer. Plays also with Sting, Perfect Circle, and some others. Well anyway, they are also a real fun band so if you have some downtime, give em a listen. I'll let it alone now. Maybe.

      I love their cover of Dont Stop Me Now, and the mention of RBF is awesome.
      Isn't that song called "Christian or Canadian" though?

      actually I'm back in Bellevue. I don't move to Eugene for another 3 weeks. But I had a crazy fun time when I was down there for the UW game. Autzen stadium is insane.

      Yes, Christian Or Canadian is the name of the song. I was having too much non-college fun that night.

      Is college the US equivalent of Uni, or is it like in England (=last 2 years of school before uni in Belgium)?

      that's awesome. Some guys who went to my old high school a couple years before I was there made an awesome extreme unicycling video.
