relient k 

A Christian band that enjoys writing both insightful ballads as well as completely random yet surprisingly catchy pop songs. A high emphasis on puns. Lead vocalist Thiessen has an amazing voice and has cranked out some amazing songs like "I am Understood?" and "Be My Escape".

Recently, they've begun to swing into the more alternative crowd. Songs like "Which to Bury, Us or the Hatchet" seem to show a side of Relient K that the screamo and punk groups enjoy.

Albums:
Relient K
The Anatomy of the Tongue in Cheek
Two Lefts Don't Make a Right...but Three Do
MmmHmm

Matthew Thiessen - Vocals, guitar, piano, keys, percussion

To quote Matthew Thiessen of Relient K: "Sadie Hawkins Dance is probably the cheesiest song we've ever written."

Relient K 

A brilliant CHRISTIAN band - punk/rock/pop/emo style, they have awesome lyrics and they rule :D

And yes, spelt RELIENT not RELIANT for some strange reason...named after a car I think.
When I got tired of running from you
I stopped right there to catch my breath
There your words they caught my ears
You said, “I miss you son. Come home”
And my sins, they watched me leave
And in my heart I so believed
The love you felt for me was mine
The love I’d wished for all this time
And when the doors were closed
I heard no I told so’s
I said the words I knew you knew
Oh God, Oh God I needed you
God all this time I needed you, I needed you

Word of the Day on October 28, 2026
A lighthearted reaction upon receiving disappointing news of some sort. Usually something that isn't a particularly a big deal, esp. when it primarily affects someone else - sort of a mild schadenfreude. Sometimes doubled or tripled, and possibly said in a sing-songy voice for added comedic effect to imitate a muted trumpet, which is how the meme originated.

Surf Dracula Syndrome 

A phenomenon in film/television series, most notably streaming series, where the main premise is drawn out to such a point that it takes an entire season or more to get the parts of the series the audience is actually interested in seeing.

For example, if a series is titled "Surf Dracula," a majority of viewers would tune in expecting to see Dracula surfing by the first or second episode. However, the entire first season would instead be tedious padding and backstory before finally ending with Dracula surfing in the last five minutes of the season finale.
I watched "Smallville" on Netflix the other day. Dude, it was ten seasons of filler before he finally flew! Major Surf Dracula Syndrome!
