Are you familiar with the drinking game “I Never”? Who knows where this pastime began, but basically the deal is that you make a statement that outlines an embarrassing activity (usually sexual), and if you’ve done it, you have to drink.
Example: I never got it on in the bathroom of a fast food restaurant.
Now I would not drink, but if you had, you would. Got it? I’m starting a game of musical “I Never” right here, based around embarrassing musical experiences.
I never lip synched (with feeling) to Cheap Trick’s “The Flame,” possibly while watching my reflection in a picture window.

Pingback by links for 2008-05-21 | iwilldare.com 05.21.08 @ 7:26 amI never gave Ben Gibbard and Chris Walla a vanilla Snack Pack when driving them back to First Avenue from the Radio K studios, said mysteriously “when you get to LA, you will understand,” told my LA friend to give them a chocolate Snack Pack when they performed at his college radio station, subsequently found out he forgot to give them the Snack Pack, and blushed hardcore at the realization that a) two of my favorite musicians then officially thought I was the weirdest kid they had ever met, and b) I had devised a pudding-related plan that really would have made no sense at all even if it had worked.

I never went to a “reunion” show where the band consisted of either the lead singer or lead guitarists and a bunch of other guys who were never part of the band when it was popular.
