OK, the subject's a bit misleading, but I did hear Dream Theater
mentioned on the radio last Friday in Pittsburgh on 105.9. They were
playing the "pick of the litter" which features a song from a little
known band and listeners call in to say what they thought of the song.
This time they played "Headless" by a band named "Dog Fasion Disco".
The song caught my attention enough so that I wrote down the name so I
could look it up online later. I also stayed on the station to see what
kind of comments people made afterward. The first comment was something
like "I didn't get those keyboard parts, man". But, the next few people
liked it. Someone mentioned that they thought the singer sounded like
Maynard from Tool (which I agree with to an extent). Then, to my
surprise, someone said "They were cool, I thought they sounded like
Dream Theater". I stared at my radio for a second and the DJ made a
surprised sounding "Oh! Dream Theater!". I wasn't sure if the DJ was
surprised that anyone would dare mention DT on the radio or just clueless
as to who they are.
So, fess up. What fellow Pittsburgh Ytsejammer out there
plugged DT on the radio? Way to go! :-)
BTW, I didn't think the song was that reminiscent of Dream
Theater, but it was closer than most music out there. I downloaded
it off of MP3.com and I like it quite a bit. Unfortunately, their
other songs have a lot more screaming singing that I don't enjoy that
well, and their lyrics are sometimes pretty silly. I think I will
still buy the CD for that song and to see if the rest grows on me.
