Heatmiser was an alternative rock band that originated in Portland, Oregon in 1992. Consisting of Elliott Smith (guitar and vocals), Neil Gust (guitar and vocals), Brandt Peterson (bass; later to be replaced by Sam Coomes, frontman of Quasi), and Tony Lash (drums), they were known for their well-crafted lyrics and songs often featuring the juxtaposition of melancholic and cheery words and melodies. The pop-oriented songs of Elliott Smith were a contrast to the darker songs of Gust, while both Smith and Gust's songs touched on subjects such as anger, alienation, loneliness and despair.

I ask something, and then some cock goes and shoves it in my face simply because he/she was lucky enough to be born in the late 60s to middle 70s. Yeah, I wasn't there, but I'm here. That is why I lashed out. Sorry abou the previous comment.

Hey I just had a better Idea, why don't all you people that just use youtube as a vehicle to express your rage at others just go away and leave room for people that actually seek out music that they are interested in.
What I meant to say is, isn't there a beboo or fucking beebar or something for you people?
Please find your own kind and be happy.
Kind regards
