VanWyngarden attended and graduated in music from Wesleyan University, where he met fellow band member Ben Goldwasser in his freshman year. He said he planned to study the natural sciences of astronomy, but meeting Goldwasser changed his whole life course.
He also mentioned studying entomology while in college. Some were signed to major labels, making alternative rock inherently more mainstream than indie rock bands on independent record labels. This enzyme rescues tumor cells from alkylating agent-induced damage, and this leads to resistance to chemotherapy with alkylating agents. Funny thing is, before , this band was just called "Dive.

Jens Lekman makes the sort of harmless but fake-deep vegan-mayonnaise on toast with unsweetened lemon water for breakfast songs that are the spiritual successor of jangly '90s angst-folk like Belle and Sebastian and The Magnetic Fields. Christopher Dexter Greenspan's oOoOO is one of the pioneers of the "witch house" music genre, with which we could potentially populate this entire article with examples of increasingly silly barely pronounceable band names.
