my new favorite band of all time
<---- this album caught my eye the other day as I browsed harvard square newbury comics. checked out the track listing on the back, and while i was initially disappointed to discover that i hadn't stumbled upon a gem along the lines of bill shatner singing "lucy in the sky with diamonds" and "mr. tambourine man", i quickly came to realize that i HAD possibly stumbled on the greatest band ever, arriving at this epiphany in spite of the fact that i'd never heard a lick of their music.
the criteria:
1) they named themselves charles bronson.
2) the breakdown of songs on the above 2-cd set: 90+ songs on disc 1, 20+ on disc 2
3) song titles like "so what if i puked at mcdonald's", "let's start another war so i can sing about stopping it", "The painful, yet unavoidable, deathstar comparison" and "marriage can suck it".

how about "They Should Legalize Drugs So You Can Hurry Up And Fucking Die?"
nice linkage. totally reciprocated grunge-o
Please please PLEASE tell me you bought it.
Ten years ago, same Newbury Comics, EP by a band called Tit Wrench, cover was an illustration of two five year-olds in a toy car with a nearby motorcycle cop, title: "Okay, Homos, Out of the Car."
Every time we went to a movie in Harvard Square, I'd find it and show it to people. It cracked me up, it was probably $6, but i didn't know what it sounded like, I was poor, and I never bought it.
One day, feeling flush from my first post-college job ($6.50/hr), I decided the time had come... and of course, it was gone. Forever. I mean, you can imagine what I came up with searching the web for "Tit Wrench."
Anyway, if you didn't do it already, go back and buy that album. Otherwise, you may end up leaving a dull, long-winded blog comment somewhere in a few years.
