Overview

To commemorate the end of the 2nd millennium, Peek-A-Boo Records released the Golden Millennium EP on December 31, 1999. Peek-A-Boo labelmates Dean Hsieh #The 1-4-5s, Teen Titans, The Wontons#, Travis Higdon #The 1-4-5s, The Kiss Offs, Black Lipstick#, Tom Hudson #Silver Scooter#, and Britt Daniel #Spoon, Drake Tungsten, Skellington, The Alien Beats) got together in 1999 and formed the '70s glam-inspired supergroup Golden Millennium. As the label's website reports, Golden Millennium formed as a joke when Hsieh and Higdon bought matching gold-glitter Gibson Les Paul guitars.[2] Coincidentally, Hudson had gold-glitter drums, and the idea of forming a glam band was conceived.[2] The three recruited Daniel on bass, and the group learned a slew of covers and a few originals with the intent of playing only one show.[2] The performance went so well that Golden Millennium recorded the Golden Millennium EP and played one final reprise show at the close of 1999.[2]

gollark: Not very consistently, apparently.
gollark: Linux is presumably one of the most looked-at codebases around, with many competent developers. Yet they introduce use-after-frees and such.
gollark: I mean, LOOK at this. These are memory safety issues in Linux, partly. https://www.cvedetails.com/vulnerability-list.php?vendor_id=33&product_id=47&version_id=261041&page=1&hasexp=0&opdos=0&opec=0&opov=0&opcsrf=0&opgpriv=0&opsqli=0&opxss=0&opdirt=0&opmemc=0&ophttprs=0&opbyp=0&opfileinc=0&opginf=0&cvssscoremin=0&cvssscoremax=0&year=0&month=0&cweid=0&order=3&trc=79&sha=5cbc7c8cf75413ec8f9ecd4ca33a51259c32d60b
