^ I worked as guitar tech for the support band (an early incarnation of Creation Records labelmates Slowdive) on the European tour just after Loveless was released and your descriptions are pretty much bang on.
From wikipedia.....
"NME editor Danny Kelly attended a show he described as "more like torture than entertainment, I had a half pint of lager; they hit their first note and it was so loud that it sent the glass hurtling"."

Ha! That's one way to pay tribute/settle a score.
The Dead Milkmen were inclined to take the odd pop at their peers. I recall another (not very good) song of theirs called The Thing That Only Eats Hippies, which contained a line along the lines of "It only eats things with long hair/so Bob and Greg and Grant you better beware".
Why the hell do you think they call it a burrow owl, anyway?
