Not that anyone ever reads this other than Freezey, but this week I only have one CD. I guess I just wasn't in the right mood. (Not to mention some of the people in the store were freaking my shit out.)

"The Presidents of the United States of America" is still one of the worst bandnames ever. thats all I have to say about them, really...

The band was formed in late 1993 by Chris Ballew (basitar and lead vocals) and Dave Dederer (guitbass and backup vocals). Initially a drummerless duo, Ballew and Dederer performed a half-dozen or so shows in 1993 as "The Lo-Fis"," "The Dynamic Duo," and "Pure Frosting." Ballew eventually came upon the name "The Presidents of the United States of America" while playing music high on marijuana with a few of his friends in a North Seattle basement. Of the names he made up on the spot that night, "The Presidents" got the biggest rise out of the eleven stoners who happened to be listening.

Doesn't surprise me one bit. I hate the name as well.
