someone asked about Skwish?!?!?!
[stunned silence]
Skwish was very influential! I always remember the first time I heard 1969 by the Smashing Pumpkins on the radio – a Skwish ripoff if there ever was one!
Not to mention hearing REM covering the Skwish song Strange! [shhh yes I know.]
Then there was the time that Ben Arnold almost got beaten up at a Skwish gig by an aggro little guy. Fond memories!
