Shit Robot is pretty good but I feel bad listening to him. Just because I don't think any artist should refer to themselves as "shit".

The Beach Boys being a key example.
yeah but I don't think they'd sell many records as "The Beach Guys"

up until a few days ago I had never listened to ween, now I do
I never minded the name Ween, for me it was just the fact that their name was close to Weezer so I'd subconsciously mix them up
