Evil Superstars
It's a sad sad planet
1998, written by Mauro Pawlowski
it's a sad, sad planet
a sad planet
wasn't it jesus who said it
it's a sad sad planet
Formed in 1992 in Heusden-Zolder, Belgium, the Evil Superstars are an often overlooked influential brilliant band, led by multi talented Mauro Pawlowski. After winning the HUMO rock rally, they gained a reputation for being a terrific live band. Especially Mauro's odd antics gained a lot of attention. In 1994 15 year old Tim VanHamel, who had a lot of experience from his band sister poo poo joined the evil superstars, creating the absurdist zappa-esque album Love is Okay. They toured europe as a support act for the more wellknown band dEUS, but in 1998 Mauro called it quits as their sales were not too great and despite good reviews they never got over their cult status.
Mauro has since then played in numerous bands, including Mitsoobishy Jacson, Kiss my Jazz, Monguito and Shadowgraphic City. He is currently a member of dEUS, The Love Substitutes, Othin Spake, Club Moral, Archetypes of the Multisabanas and I Hate Camera. Beside these projects, Mauro has released solo work under various aliasses: Mauro A. Pawlowski, Somnabula, while fronting a new group called Mauro Pawlowski & the Grooms.
For information on Tim VanHamel, there is a series planned.

Beck
MTV makes me wanna smoke crack
1993, written by Beck Hansen
MTV makes me wanna smoke crack
fall out of the window, and I'm never comin' back
MTV makes me wanna get high
Can't get a ride no matter how I try
And everything's perfect, and everything's bright
And everyones perky, and everyones uptight
I love those videos I watch 'em all day
Multi talent Beck Hansen (yes, Beck is his official first name) is most known for his hit "Loser" which became an anthem to some of my fellow teens at the time. His music is a mixture of all kinds, from hip hop to Jazz to latin music. His lyrics are often absurd and incredibly funny. According to Pitchfork media "Beck wonderfully blends Prince, Talking Heads, Paul's Boutique, 'Shake Your Bon Bon', and Mathlete on Midnite Vultures, his most consistent and playful album yet."
Beck grew up with a father who was a musician, and a mother and grandfather who were into art. After his parents divorced, he moved to LA with his mother, where he was exposed to various different kinds of music. In the late 1980s he dropped out of high school and travelled through Europe, busking. In the late 1990s he was involved in the anti folk movement in New York.
Ironically his hit loser was nothing more than a novelty gag and its cynicism was lost to many. MTV makes me wanna smoke crack is a pretty good analysis of current day pop culture if you ask me!
Sexx laws
1999, written by Beck Hansen
I want to defy
The logic of all sex laws
Let the handcuffs slip off your wrists
Ill let you be my chaperone
At the halfway home
Im a full grown man
But Im not afraid to cry
Check for Jack Black in this wonderful video!
