U.S. Girls is a very shitty name, compared to the amazing music of this project.

I totally agree with Sunburned. When I first read about them, they had like the coolest name ever, and they came out of a band with an ever cooler name, Shit Spangled Banner. They say that band was like SOnic Youth meets Melvins. Then they say SUnburned is basically the Grateful Dead on ever harder drugs and filtered through a lot more feedback. SO basically I thought they were going to be the greatest band ever, oh how critics can be deceiving. Basically everything Sunburned does Miles did one thousand times better on every disc of the "On the Corner" boxset.

Kylie Minoise, as everyone points out, is a silly name. But I think it's fitting for what he's doing. These just absurdist almost humorous like excercises in extremity.

I've always thought Boris wasn't a very good name.

pbradley 02.07.2009 08:58 PM

I think Boris is a brilliant name for both a band and a song.

atsonicpark 02.07.2009 09:16 PM

yeah, what's wrong with Boris?

Stupid name: SUNN O))). Name yourself after an amp, why don't ya!

Death & the Maiden 02.07.2009 09:32 PM

I always thought Broken Social Scene was a really lame name but they've made some great music over the years.

^^ yes very enjoyable.
I know the bass player and the drummer pretty well actually. have met them nearly everytime they've been coming to play in paris over the years . They are SWELL guys.
When i first met them about say 5 years ago; they were that small US band and Feist was virtually unknown doing backing vox in the band. Look where she is now with all the ad music she's pulled out through juicy publishing deals.
Fine people.

How do you pronounce Sunn O))) anyway? I figured "sun oh" but I've heard people just say "sun" and disregard the "o)))" part. What's the dill?

Antagon 02.08.2009 12:13 PM

Drowning Crib (Used to be "TechniKult of Flesh)

Awesome Industrial-Rockband, horrible Metal cliché name

This Is Not Here 02.08.2009 12:18 PM

Wasn't there a band (soon renamed) called Living With Eating Disorders, or something to that effect? They take the prize.

This Is Not Here 02.08.2009 12:19 PM

Shrimp Boat is an absolutely shite name, but a fine band.
