The Residents
American Folk-Rock stuff - did the theme tune to an animated series?

EDIT - King of the Hill - just remembered.

Not The Replacements, which is the magnificent Paul Westerburg.

The Replacements are also good.

I love American alt bands
Dead Kennedys, Alice Donut, Black Flag, Dinosaur Jnr, Galaxie 500, Codeine, Screaming Trees, Slint, all that stuff. Tried to like Sonic Youth but just don't. Love Nirvana as well.

On the plus side, it protects you from all the drivel on here.

true, plus it means I don't have to ponce about with Structuralism
And pretending to read Self, De Lillo and Amis to impress birds.

Chicks dig readers. But not SF or fantasy, those guys work in IT and wear wolf t shirts.

Half of those are covered in the book.
I'm listening to Minor Threat now.
I assume you are listening to ICP.

I have not, but will bear it in mind for future investigation.
I had to buy many records off the back of reading that book.
I think it will probably be up your street.
