Drunks with Guns!!!
I found an old CD yesterday with some Drunks With Guns mp3s on it. I am a happy man.

1. I was just listening to them yesterday!!!
They DEFINED grunge!!! I just got a new MP3 player, and decided to record a bunch of my old 45's including their amazing "Thirst for Knowledge"...

Glad to know someone else knows who the heck they are!!!

2. I cranked "Wonderful Subdivision" last night.
I found some of their stuff during the Napster heyday. Besides Koolzip and asthmaticeog, you're the first person I've seen on here who knows of them!

3. That's a GREAT song (Wonderful Subdivision)
I worked at an indy store in the late 80's, and DWG were my favorite "5 'til 9" record...meaning I'd crank out one of their 45's loud to drive everyone out of the store (plus it would get me in the mood to toss a few back after work!)...ah the good ol (pre IT) days!

5. After some googling,
I just found out a CD of their first "album" (nothing more than a collection of early singles) is still available. Wow.

A friend of mine in high school had the best recording of that album. It was a cassette version dubbed from a broken turntable that slowed the record down a couple RPMs. It made DWG sound sludgier and more menacing.

4. "Drunks With Guns"
Am I the only one who thinks that would be an OUTSTANDING reality TV program?
