Clouds and Puppies leaned in and tried to look as menacing as they could, and the photographer was polite enough to stifle a snicker.

For days, Crazytown stood outside the reviewer's window, cuz they were pretty sure "a bunch of ape-like dipshits with a fluke hit that was basically just a Chili Peppers rip-off" were, like, fightin' words'n'shit.

River of Putrescence are the only band I've ever interviewed with an interesting answer to the question "So where do you get the ideas for your songs?

Band meetings always degenerated whenever Mary reminded everyone that the band was named Mary Cherry and the Fairies, and the other members could go blow each other if they didn't like her decisions.

After the third reference to "Claude," the sixth band member, the photographer started to have doubts about Great Balls of Ire's sanity.

Sure, Chugging Chum threw great dinner parties, but, uh, stay away from the meat, ya know?

Kenny G is still allowed to release records?!? Hell, even his shadow is hanging his head in shame.

Next time you're about to bitch about dancing monkey boy bands, or their whiney emo brethren, or even their tattooed'n'pierced semi-retarded nu metal step-brothers, think of a Nitro reunionÖ

When you see these guys in the corner, you know it's time to lay off the cough syrup.

When My Heart Bleeds and their entourage ask if they can headline instead of open for you, trust me, just say ok.

Lizzy Boredom had a tendency to drain band members faster than any other band I've seen.

The photographer swore to Cattle Decapitation wait, that's not the joke! that he'd do some Photoshop trick to make Rick "Corpseripping Demonraper" Johnson look as big as the other guys.

Mind's Eyeglasses singer Tim "TT" Thomas realized too late that just cuz his mom had a digital camera, maybe he shouldn't let her do his promo shots in the backyard.

sure, Ray Ray's concept for the photo was pretty cool, but the other members of Turbo Dirtbag did wish he'd showered the day of the shoot.

Finally, after days of The Pop-Loving Sissies singing a cappella selections from A Tu-Tu for You Too, I agreed to review their CD.

Like plenty of second-rate bands signed to major labels for reasons beyond the rest of us, Riddlin' Kids suffered from low-ceilinged, crammed rehearsal rooms and permanently had their heads tilted at stupid-looking angles.

As Thundar the Librarian packed up his gear and stormed off, he swore to himself to get better directions to the club next time.

That's right, pinhead, I said Smashmouth sucks!

Sunshine on my Shoulder never could convince anyone they weren't totally gay.
