I was just reading the post below and couldn't help but smile.
Goldfinger was one of my favourite bands growing up.
Them, Reel Big Fish, Save Ferris, were like, my bands.
I first heard Here in your bedroom on KROQ when I was a kid..
and many moons ago I stayed up really late to see them on Conan O'Brien performing Here in your bedroom.
There is probably footage of that on youtube.
Anyway, I heard about them from spending numerous amounts of time in LA.
Back then I was such a silly kid.
I thought about changing my name to Mabel.
Here is another embarrassing fact about my love for Goldfinger.
I remember spending a whole day at home watching the Goldfinger VHS tape titled Darren's Coconut ass. That Goldfinger videotape my friend got me wasn't particularly great but back then I liked Goldfinger that much.
I honestly haven't thought of them much since Stomping Ground but they were a facet of entertainment in my life.
I just heard this recent song by Goldfinger, handjobs for jesus, and I am quite impressed with it. Part of the reason I went to seek this song was because a friend told me Bert from the Used and Monique from Save Ferris did vocals on it.
As embarrassing as it is, I once loved the used too. I know every word to blue and yellow.. and i can sing it too..
I'd have to say my favourite Goldfinger song now is The City with Two faces.
It's quite ironic that I never understood that song when I was much younger..
but now, I get it.
If you know what I am referencing, go to the wasted superstars blog and read my lovely entries on what I think of LA.
