THE LIST ON AP: Tigers And Tigers And Tigers, Oh My!

Steven Robertshaw on 1/19/09 @ 3:02 AM

Does anybody remember 2007, when the underground was obsessed with wolves? You know, Wolf Parade, AIDS Wolf, Wolf Eyes and Wolfmother? Then Sarah Palin gave Alaskan hunters the okay to shoot wolf puppies in the head. Now according to the Chinese calendar, 2009 is the Year of the Ox. But according to the Rock calendar--and the CDs that show up at the AP Skyscraper--we are most certainly living in the year of the Tiger. Upon closer inspection, tigers come up frequently in our day-to-day existence. AP webmaster Rob Ortenzi plays the Duran Duran track "Tiger Tiger" like it were some kind of daily affirmation and I frequently fantasize about throwing Scott Heisel into a pit of famished tigers. Clearly, these bands must be onto something. (Note: You should know by now how much we love American psychobilly royalty, Tiger Army. Just tryin' t' save on bandwidth in the comments section.) --Jason Pettigrew

haha my band was called Midnight Tigers before we decided to change it last September...there were eight pages of bands on Myspace with that name or something close to it...that's why we changed it.
