Edging out Austin, TX bands I Love You But I’ve Chosen Darkness and …And You Will Know Us By The Trail of Dead, Springfield, Missouri quartet Someone Still Loves You Boris Yeltsin has emerged as this year’s winner of SXSW’s most ridiculous AND uncomfortably long band name. Destined to never fit onto a venue’s marquee (at least without using “5″s as “S”s), or become a catchy acronym (SSLYBY…nope, I got nothing. But I guess you can spell their acronym in a calculator: 551484. SWEET HUH.), the band is slugging it out, confounding bloggers with their vaguely political name and early ’90s college rock throwback sound. But if you’re like me and never got over In The Aeroplane Over the Sea and still light up at the mention of Archers of Loaf, then your hornrimmed glasses will fog up with delight/mouthbreathing.

Here’s a good SSLYBY/551484 sampler:

There, and now you love them.
Still, I’d rather listen to NPR’s David Sedaris yammer on about pissing into a cup. God that’s depressing.
