and yet major label releases make up at least 70% of my collection.

Hmm.

The annoyance factor here is mostly about WHO is dropping the name.

There have been dozens of friends and random people who have said, "hey, listen to this if you like that," and they were being completely sincere, because they knew I loved music, and didn't know something.

But fuckers when they fucking name drop the fucking bullshit, with the fucking bullshit fucker snobby fuck bullshit, fuck that.

Aw man, I think you'd really like New Indie Band y'know. They sound a lot like Band You've Vaguely Heard Of and Band You've Never Heard Of But Will Say "Sure, Them, That's Right" So You Don't Lose Face.

You wanna go see them? They're playing town soon at Slightly Larger Venue. Yeah, I saw them last year when they played Tiny Club (etc. etc.)

I like to pull out Art Phag, Bob Hope to Die, or the Fucking Shitbiscuits in an "Obscure Band Name" pinch.

T.V.B.C. - seen 'em. Junkies. Lotta tom-tom.
U-Men - seen 'em. Seattle's Killdozer or Birthday Party. Used to travel in a school bus.
Pile of Cows - seen 'em. Used to bang on stuff and start fires. Excellent bonfire music.
Man Sized Action - seen 'em. Drummer didn't own a hi-hat. Tippy went metal after a while, but still funny as hell.
Blatant Dissent - seen 'em. Best of the Dekalb bunch. Or Snailboy.

How's that for been there / done that jaded?

T.V.B.C.-Supposedly straight for some time now. Metzger has been doing more stuff in the last two years (musically) then he has the previously in his life. (maybe overstated, but you catch my drift...)

Man Sized Action-Still one of my fave early 80's Minneapolis bands (along with Rifle Sport).

I won't disagree with the last point!

english prog group, seventies, pretty good. I really like Interview

good, though unusual choice. any prog fan would've chosen acquire the taste, no?

of course it was an unusual choice, what else what an obscure-band-name-dropper pick? an obvious record?

sheesh
