I loved Dave Matthews Band in middle school/high school, then woke up one day and hated them, and now I like them again. The whole run of radio hits is a good summer day soundtrack. I love the song "Stay Wasting Too Much Time To Say."
There's something inherently hilarious about the thought of Curious Hair jamming out to....Dave Matthews.
Look in the mirror, my friend!
Let's see you go through high school band in the early 2000s and not listen to hours of Dave Matthews Band and Ben Folds Five.

Big Big Fan of Carter Beauford's drumming on the first few albums (great groove on #41, Sooner or Later is a great drum track, etc...), but I wouldn't go out of my way to go see a show.
The other Dave Matthews Band constituency at Badger was the group of kids who ran the school store: it was the trust fund kids who lived on the country clubs or Air Estates or other such isolated mansions but who also smoked a ton of weed and tended not to wash their hair. They all seemed to just work at or hang out in the school store all day and rarely go to class, and the rest of us would just pop in now and then during study halls or blowoff hours or whatever. But they always had jam bands playing, all day, every day. And one day, a few of us wandered over during jazz ensemble and there was a Dave Matthews live album playing and one of the guys was just awestruck by Carter Beauford's drumming and kept going "Carter Beauford on the drums, man. Carter Beauford. Man. Carter Beauford. Listen to that. Carter Beauford on the drums. Man. Carter Beauford." My idea of a funny joke at the moment was to say "so which one's Carter Beauford?" Anyway, it became a running gag among a few of us to just say the guy's name out of nowhere. Thanks for pulling this 21-year-old memory from the deepest reaches of my brain.
