Oh, Rusty, you just love them so much you named yourself after the bassist. You also link to them as your "homepage" on your profile. And you linked to them on the front page after the bare minimum of comments. But they're not your favorite band.
You are a liar. You are a cheat. You are selfish. You're also a dumb piece of shit who continues to lie after it's made perfectly clear that you were caught with your pants down. You will never make it, your music sucks, and you are an ugly person who has to spam websites because your music doesn't stand on its own merits. Seriously: don't come back, spammer.

Um, first of all, my real name is not Rusty. I like the band, and I think the name is funny. My name is not Russ either. My name is Roger. Have you all used your real names here? Secondly, why the hating? Is this all you do? Just because you don't have lives or girlfriends you have to trash a band and a poster? Did you even listen to the music? I don't think so. The amount of hate here is crazy. Try hookers or drugs or something. You guys are really, truly pathetic. Get a life.

We are a band. We are busy. We do not have time to go to many events. Besides, we can find our own events. We don't need you spamming us all the time about your shows.
Also, we do not want to join your groups. We don't have time to sit around sending messages to strangers, particularly in those groups that have nothing to do with us (North Texas Scene? WTF?). Besides, if we like you, we'll ask to join your group.
Please, stop sending us this shit. You have been warned.
See? They do not have time to sit around sending messages to strangers. Says so in their blog. Therefore, Rusty cannot be in the band, QED.

The members of the Brooklyn band Pretty Flowers are all escapees from the Island of Misfit Toys. At once evil and adorable, this group of international musicians (US, UK, Russia) plays fast, catchy, indie-punk-trash-pop that is marked by crunchy guitars, sweet-as-honey harmonies, crazy bass lines and loads of cowbell.

From the homepage, just, you know, to round out the indictment:
Pretty Flowers is made up of Rusty Bottoms (bass/vocals), Yelena Thrillskaya (guitar/vocals), Rex Machine (drums/vocals) and Slater! (percussion/keyboards/vocals). Rusty, a native New Yorker, and Yelena, who comes from Moscow, started the band in 2003, performing at small venues around New York with just bass and guitar. They eventually adopted British-born Rex to play drums. Their latest member, Unchristian Slater, who works a mean cowbell, hails from California. (emphasis added)

From their tour diary:
After the show we have a little party, where Yelena takes the rockstar life a little too far and almost passes out in the bathroom. Luckily, Rusty is able to revive her with some kama sutra and yoga tricks. [emphasis mine]
WTF, Rusty?

Rusty, there's this thing called Metafilter meetups. Check em out. You've made some friends today. If they ban your account, just get a sock puppet, a Flickr account, some index cards and a Sharpie. You'll be the life of the party. Bring your band too. Rock the fuck out. This crowd deserves an encore.

Secondly, why the hating?
You posted a self-link to the front page. For a band. A shitty band.
Is this all you do?
No, sometimes we talk about good posts. This is not one of those times. You would know this is you lurked and paid attention instead of being a selfish link-whore.
Did you even listen to the music?
Yes.
I don't think so.
No, we really did.
You guys are really, truly pathetic. Get a life.

I'm pretty sure posting a self-link, getting caught, denying it, changing your homepage, still getting caught, deleting your homepage, and then denying it despite a ton of screenshots and photographs is way more pathetic than anything we could do.

No, you all have it all wrong. Metafilter's Rusty Bottom is one of those stalkerish delusional fanboys, and he just wishes (or thinks) he is the real Rusty Bottom of Pretty Flowers fame.
Which really doesn't matter, because the music is pretty lame.
