One of them mentioned that he'd heard a band name so disgusting, he could barely say it.
Huh. I can think of far worse than that. (My personal favorite: a local band named Bloody Discharge. Lovely, no?)
Where's the praising and extolling of my virtues? Where's the love?

Buffista Music II: Wrath of Chaka Khan
There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

Huh. I can think of far worse than that.
Here's another one: Anal Cunt
They did an acoustic country album, I think. Ahhh, the irony.
The other one that really tries too hard is The Crucifux.

love's a dream you enter though I shake and shake and shake you
This made me laugh and laugh and laugh.
Right there with you.
Though listening to the Cranes makes me want to deafen myself with knitting needles. I hate that woman's voice so much.
Frankenbuddha, were you at the Swans show at the Somerville Theater a few years back? I remember it being like a pressure cooker in there, but I think it was more a result of the music than any actual possibility of violence from the crowd.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
There's a band (I think local to Chicago) called Anal Cunt.
There was also an English punk band called The Fucks. For a while they had a group of female backup singers called The Fuckettes.

If I only had a brain...
Has anybody heard the extra tracks on Barenaked Ladies' "Everything to Everybody"? If so, what are they likely to be? The band goofing around between takes, or the demos that were recorded before they went into the studio, or what?

Anal Cunt is from Boston. They have a song called "Everyone In Allston Must Die." (Allston is a neighborhood in Boston very close to Boston University and thus appears to some as a desolate wasteland of bars, vomit, drunken fratboys shouting "woo hoo!" at random intervals as they stagger in front of your car, and vapid girls shrieking, "Ohmigod, I'm soooo drunk!".)

Ah, the mating call of the dumb sorority girl....

Uncertainty could be our guiding light.
All this talk of shoegazer bands takes me back to college. I really liked the Lush album, and Ride got a lot of airplay on our teeny radio station.
The other Catherine Wheel songs I recall (and really like) are "I Want to Touch You," and "Judy Staring at the Sun," which was on a later album, and featured Tanya Donnelly on backup vocals.

"When I look at people that I would like to feel have been a mentor or an inspiring kind of archetype of what I'd love to see my career eventually be mentioned as a footnote for in the same paragraph, it would be, like, Bowie." ~Trent Reznor

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
