Yes, ANb are the shit. You want 100 songs in 20 minutes on a CD5? Well, you go see Agoraphobic Nosebleed about that.

Yeah, Agoraphobic Nosebleed have been around awhile. I've always been 
partial to The Exploding Plastic Fuck Dolls' name.

It's a testament to punk's subsumption into mainstream culture that 
there is a show in TV in the UK now called "Nevermind the Buzzcocks," 
which, from what I have seen, has little to do with punk, or the 
Buzzcocks. Or that the Buzzcocks have a commercial for AARP. I mean,
 not 
even 15 years ago, a band with a name like "Buzzcocks" might find it 
hard to get exposure or airplay, just based on their name, taken from
 an 
x-rated rag. Now we regularly have kids saying names like "Buzzcocks," 
or "Butthole Surfers," which is arguably worse.

And, man, in the real dark ages, even The Damned complained they were 
told their name was a barrier to commercial viability; they were often 
urged to change it in the early 80s when they were starting to work
 with 
MCA.

Times sure have changed. I'd like a world where "Butthole Surfers" and 
"Anal Cunt" are regularly spoken by 5 year olds.
