Because they are awesome. I cannot wait for a Melvins song about snails or sloths (coolest animal on earth)

I'd read once that Buzz's voice was compared to the sound of "a rabid moose in heat".

I think this is pretty close to the truth actually-I get the impression Buzz is a big animal lover, especially of dogs

Is it Roman Bird Dog or Roman Dog Bird? I knew at one point, but I've seen both versions spelled out on the internet, that I've honestly forgotten which is the correct title.
