+1 for the person that can name one of two bands that Carla Bozulich is known for. +3 if you get both.

Fire away!

PS: don't give me a point for this, because while I recalled that she was in the Geraldine Fibbers (file under: "obscure GenX knowledge"), I didn't realize she'd been in the Nels Cline Singers.

The latter impressed me.

She was. I will also accept Ethyl Meatplow.

+1 for Holls.

This is an album everyone should know. If you have ever heard the Kids soundtrack, you have heard at least one song off of it.

Prepare to get your socks rocked when you realize the album is 20+ years old now.

Also, Touch and Go was the jam back in the day.

Edit: He was poking fun at GL for misspelling awesome.

PS can we agree to rename this thread "The Hipster Circle Jerk Tread"

[EthnicallyCrimean98476]

"Posters proficient in Google thread"

[FuzzyWarbles]

Oh boy

[Dave Maynar]

Haters... the lot of you, especially Bacon.

[mayonaise]

I like this thread. I consider it "Mayo's education of old/obscure music by GL via Google searching."

[Deleted]

It's gonna get worse, promise.

Thread title fixed. I was rather drunk when I started this.
NoD doesn't count simply because I told him along time ago.

[holls]

^ Thanks, GL. That typo had bothered me all week.

There will be plenty of opportunities for every one. I'm a plethora of musical knowledge and I am also EEOC.

Probably some horrible enabler of wretched music.

C'mon, G-land. Get with it.
