Some of y'all may remember MTV's Alternative Nation or 120 Minutes, awesome programs & incredible ways to discover #music back in the 80s & 90s...

Subscribe, share, & chat!

Share youtube, songwhip, spotify, bandcamp links, music memes, album art, articles, whatever! But avoid links to directly download music (don't want to get Lemmy.world in trouble). Songwhip links always appreciated!

See this post on recs on how to post!

The Golden Rule: Music taste is subjective so don't be a gatekeeping asshole. There's no "bad music", only music you like or don't like.

We Are A Community: So no racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, ableism, or spam.

Got to see King Missile and Dogbowl do a show as King Missile (Dog Fly Religion) back in the mid-90s. Almost no one was there, because it was a Wednesday night at an all-ages club, but they put on a heck of a show anyway. John S. Hall had lots of fun with a wireless mic. He did half a song from the bathroom at one point.

And, don't forget the classic "Cheesecake Truck" song πŸ₯³πŸ€ŒπŸΌ

Personally, I find all the songs they sing bland and forgettable.

Their spoken word pieces with musical accompaniment, however, are all absolutely fantastic.

I think you're confusing them with Bland Melon.

I remember first hearing this song from a mislabeled mp3 from limewire. I thought it was Primus forever
