Gullible Bum - "The Official Unofficial The The Site." A great web site with a brilliant interface for an incredible band. "Abandon your preconceptions about site navigation."
oh, shit. i just discovered these guys for myself a few months ago, after finding one of their records and realising i once lived in the same building as one of the musicians on infected. picked up the record for $1, was really intrigued after the clerk at the desk described them as "tom waits fronting the church", and feel my money was well-invested in this piece of vinyl. ("slow train to dawn" seems too close to one aspect of my social life right now.) their music is so dense, but in a good way -- there's a lot to chew on there, mentally speaking.
if anyone is intrigued, i would highly recommend they bypass gullible bum for this is the the day, the official website. much easier to navigate, and some better features, like a music video for the new song.
sorry to ramble like this -- it's weird to buy a record in the morning and BOOM find a thread on it on mefi that night. especially if it's a band that's not as well known as, oh, radiohead or creed. :)

Yeah, that PHP error message makes for an amazing navigational interface indeed...

I saw him play once in the olden days, but the haze within and without my head then (and even now, a little) reduces me to guessing at the decade, never mind the year and the place. 1983? Buffalo?
