- This Busy Monster (or TBM) is an indie band that was formed in the early 1990s. They are known for their unconventional song structures and eclectic instrumentation (including the use of a clarinet in many tracks). Their three full-length albums, Like Icicles, The Curious Sofa and Fireworks, accompany many singles and EPs. Their name is taken from a poem written by E. E. Cummings. The band, based in Seattle, Washington, is composed of Christopher Possanza (vocals/guitar), Josh Rosenfeld (bass), Jason Avinger (guitar/vocals) and Barrett Wilke (drums). After the band's initial success in the early '90s, Possanza and Rosenfeld formed Barsuk Records in 1994 to release their material. The label is named after Avinger and Possanza's dog, Barsuk (pronounced bar-sook, from the Russian word барсук, meaning badger), a black lab (the dog can be heard barking in the track "Song 69"). Barsuk Records has since signed numerous local and national indie artists, including Death Cab for Cutie, Aqueduct, Rilo Kiley, Nada Surf and They Might Be Giants.
