This is a personal collection of things I find around the internet.

Alright, so somehow you found this place. Here's what to expect:

Due to the nature of this place, you may find a bunch of stuff that you don't care about, but you may also find a new passion.

So, the gist is, this is a place where I'll share random things, and you'll discover the internet with me.

Oh yeah, I didn't advertise this place anywhere, so hey, how did you even get here?

Check out the sister sub where you discover music with me! !andromusiccollection@lemm.ee

Alcoholism is a fucked way to go.

Really sucks. It was only recently that I heard he's been in such rough shape with addiction. Smash Mouth was such a big thing back in my teen years. It's tough basically watching your childhood die a little more every day. Such a shame addiction got him like this.

Damn, I guess the years stopped coming.

The world rolled him.

That video of him passing out in the middle of all star in front of three dozen people was rough.

Smash Mouth gets made fun of a lot but I've always had respect for the incessant positivity in their music

I'm not even sure why they get clowned. I guess because they sorta sold out doing covers for movies and after that their albums fell off a cliff. More recently obviously because the singer was very publicly self destructing.

But like...Fush Yu Mang and Astrolounge are both seriously good albums.

I guess you can't deny liver failure as easily as you can deny COVID. Hey now.

Dude hasn't been well for a while. He hates All Star so much that he has to get very drunk in order to perform it at all. I believe he kept getting into drunk verbal fights with the crowd until the band ultimately stopped touring.

I've seen a video or two of that. I had also heard that people would attend his concerts to see him go off the rails. It's so unfortunate he hated the song that brought him so much success. I know a lot of people think its been overplayed, but It's just a fun, catchy, light-hearted song.

What a rough way to go. I remember seeing a video years ago where he didn't look very healthy. Poor guy.

Didn't make sense not to live for fun

That show in New York kinda reminded me of blades of glory when Will Ferrell is just getting plastered in his suit, ice skating in costume. Except the smash mouth version. Kinda not surprised.
