Oh, Rusty, you just love them so much you named yourself after the bassist. You also link to them as your "homepage" on your profile. And you linked to them on the front page after the bare minimum of comments. But they're not your favorite band.

You are a liar. You are a cheat. You are selfish. You're also a dumb piece of shit who continues to lie after it's made perfectly clear that you were caught with your pants down. You will never make it, your music sucks, and you are an ugly person who has to spam websites because your music doesn't stand on its own merits. Seriously: don't come back, spammer.

From their Myspace blog:

DO NOT SEND US EVENT INVITES. DO NOT SEND US GROUP INVITES.
Current mood: bitchy

We are a band. We are busy. We do not have time to go to many events. Besides, we can find our own events. We don't need you spamming us all the time about your shows.

Also, we do not want to join your groups. We don't have time to sit around sending messages to strangers, particularly in those groups that have nothing to do with us (North Texas Scene? WTF?). Besides, if we like you, we'll ask to join your group.

Please, stop sending us this shit. You have been warned.

See? They do not have time to sit around sending messages to strangers. Says so in their blog. Therefore, Rusty cannot be in the band, QED.

The members of the Brooklyn band Pretty Flowers are all escapees from the Island of Misfit Toys. At once evil and adorable, this group of international musicians (US, UK, Russia) plays fast, catchy, indie-punk-trash-pop that is marked by crunchy guitars, sweet-as-honey harmonies, crazy bass lines and loads of cowbell.

Unlike Pretty Flowers. The chorus pretty much sums up my feelings towards the band - "Knife fight/I hope that you die/Knife Fight/I will stab you/in the eye"

As a service to fellow mefiers, I've taken the liberty of tabbing out the song, which is the only one I had the guts to listen to (although I DID finish it):

Hey, Rusty:

From the homepage, just, you know, to round out the indictment:

Pretty Flowers is made up of Rusty Bottoms (bass/vocals), Yelena Thrillskaya (guitar/vocals), Rex Machine (drums/vocals) and Slater! (percussion/keyboards/vocals). Rusty, a native New Yorker, and Yelena, who comes from Moscow, started the band in 2003, performing at small venues around New York with just bass and guitar. They eventually adopted British-born Rex to play drums. Their latest member, Unchristian Slater, who works a mean cowbell, hails from California. (emphasis added)

Wow. He's even on hot or not (with a much better haircut). Dude, you get around.

Ahh, for those pre-911 days when Russ...ty cared who was Hot, and who was Not Hot.

Now if we can just get a photoshop of Ceiling Cat poking his head out of the Mothership, my life will be complete.

For some strange reason I get Beavis & Butthead talking in my head when I see this pic (it's from the myspace band page):

No, you all have it all wrong. Metafilter's Rusty Bottom is one of those stalkerish delusional fanboys, and he just wishes (or thinks) he is the real Rusty Bottom of Pretty Flowers fame.

Which really doesn't matter, because the music is pretty lame.

So he came here to rusty his bottom?
