they are playing the summer concert series at the NC Music Factory ampitheatre in Charlotte this summer with just about every 90s alt has-band you can think of.

I always considered them a two hit wonder... I can't think of a single one of their songs outside of My Own Worst Enemy and the aforementioned Pam Anderson one.

I cant wait for this album. I have always been a fan. I saw them at raleigh downtown live in 2006. I know Ill get railed for this but My worst enemy has been my ringtone for the past year.

You know what I've wondered

I've wondered how music could and would progress from this point on...I mean I know every generation says this but it feels like we've hit rock-bottom, run out of ideas, and are just wallowing in our own cognitive excrement until the whole system breaks. I feel like this autotuned hyperpop and dubstep era mark the critical mass of this aural black hole and we are on the cusp of a change in cultural paradigm -- and rather than the whole of our collective musical endeavor implode into some nihilist microcosm of our devolving nation, someone, a genius if you will, has introduced a reflected boundary condition that just may save music as we know it.

Instead of progressing into new territory, which likely isn't probable or even possible, Lit has arrived upon a penultimate solution: bringing back what was good about the past. Perhaps, in the face of modern music entirely devoid of soul and original talent and cleverness, we will begin to observe artists reliving the golden eras of rearwardly-successive genres. Lit is on to the late '90s, maybe we'll see a resurgence of grunge and street hip-hop, some major-key electronica and glam metal from the '80s, then the hearland folk and classic rock of the '70s. I long for the day when we again have the fortune of being mired in beautiful, natural voices and simple accompaniment, maybe even swing and big bands. How about classical music, as a whole? And when was that last time you arrived fashionably late to a lyre and flute recital of Greensleeves?

So before you hackneyed naysayers unleash your auto-piloted fingertips upon the revived phenomenon that is Lit, take a moment to consider the deeper implications. Let's do something large.
