Issue #51- Friday Flashback- Motion City Soundtrack- "L.G. Fuad"


This week's Friday Flashback isn't flashing back too far at all... only back to 2005, when Motion City Soundtrack was seeing their fame rise. They've been around since 1997, blasting from the musical hotbed of Minneapolis. In 2005, they released their sophomore disc, "Commit This To Memory," which was produced by Mark Hoppus of Blink 182. The band saw minor hits with "Everything is Alright," and "Better Open The Door," but found cult classic status with their song about coping with some shitty situation by getting completely wasted (or at least that's how I hear it.)

The song title is short for "Let's Get Fucked Up and Die," but I guess the record label wanted a more, uh... sellable title... so it got shortened. Enjoy today's Friday Flashback, Motion City Soundtrack's "LG. Fuad."
