Earl Flemm and the Fullerbrushmen. The Fullerbrushmen were the darlings of the music industry in Japan in the late 70's and 80's. We had America in our sites when our frontman Earl suffered a nervous breakdown and spent the last 10 years in a sanitarium in virtual obscurity and loneliness.
Why this name?
Earl Flemm is Earls given name. Before the Fullerbrushmen was launched Earl sold his songs door to door. It was a painfull experience, standing in the living rooms of potential buyers performing his songs as best he could,hoping for a sale. More times then not being physically removed from the premises. Another rejection meant another day not eating. Not unlike the great Fullerbrush salesmen of days gone by.Hence the band name.
Do you play live?
We did play live. Across the United States, South America, Europe and Japan (where we were extremely popular back in the eighties and peaked in the early 90's.
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
Made it a lot easier for individuals to get free music
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
Yes with the right deal and total creative management over the music.

  TPI (April 2009) Exclusive Flemm Sues Websters

Flemm is an eccentric genius but he's been very litigious of late, He is suing Websters Dictionary for pronouncing the word Phlegm like the  family sir name. He says the mispronounce comes from an old family feud with the Websters "going way back.." He suggests the pronunciation be "fleg gum," or what would be the fumbling attempt to pronounce the spelling  phonetically.
"Flemm is the family name, ain't nothin else,.."  said Earl.  Apparently Flemm objects to the association with "sputum," or mucoid bodily secretions and that "Phlegm"  was  pronounced "Flemn" as a deliberate webster ploy to mock the Flemm family.. (He is also suggesting a different spelling of that word sputum as "speutem, "which is exactly how it is pronounced.  "you'd think it'd be Sputt em" wouldn't ya? Ain't no coincidence, lets straighten this mess out"
Flemm says it's a Webster dig -  but he would not elaborate, and so he wants to clear up the confusion. When The Toylanders ( Webster decedents - once removed) commented - their  manager said "It's just the litigious Flemm again, the notorious publicity hound that he is..".
"It ain't no publicity, those Webster decedents don't know nothin bout principle, Flemm is Flemm and that's all."
