This trend of yours to post things I have something to say about is a bit disturbing. I'm lazy, I much prefer to lurk.

Band names, the bane of all (un)organized musicians.

My fav unused one:

Ether Binge. From H. S. Thompson's Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas: "The only thing that bothered me was the ether. There's no one more helpless or irresponsible than a man in the depths of an ether binge." Helpless and irresponsible describes every member of every band I've been involved with. Quote's probably not exact as I don't have the book to hand.

Band Name Bingo:

Each band member puts their 5 favorite words in a hat. Draw out random pairs of words until all are used up. Pass out the blunt instruments and the last person standing gets to pick their favorite combination.

Google Whack:

Special for the blogger muscian. A Google whack is two words that when typed into Google without quotes returns just one hit. Can be used as a tie breaker for Band Name Bingo.

Telephone:

The party game played with intent. Take the name of your favorite book or movie or whatever. Whisper to first person, who whispers to second etc. Best done with a large group (friends,loved-ones and crazed fans appreciate being in on it). Alcohol is definitely called for.

Ego Trip:

In a band songs are power. If you've written all the songs the band can't function without you. Write all the band's material and then name it after yourself.

Or you could try and find something that describes or implies the nature of your music. Something that all the band members can agree on because it's just so perfect. Of course, getting everyone to agree will happen about the time Wal-Mart starts carrying personal jet-packs and solid gold dental floss.

But then, I'm a little cynical.

Good luck.

Speaking of singing for a living, what happened to the once promised cds?

shiv dear... wearing orange is reserved for prison jumpsuits. besides, I'm not sure predominantly orange clothing would go with your red hair, and we all know how fab that is.

cd's fell into the pile known as 'shiv's a punk and will get them out ASAP'...though i'll need a new address for you, won't i jenn?

I always thought Corduroy would be a kick ass band name. Before that I loved the idea of Crystal Clear. Somewhere in the middle of it all I was obsessed with the REAL band The Party.

That brings it all full circle for you.

I can teach you to arc weld if you like?

you're kidding me, right stuart? not good to get a girl's hopes up!
