Oh, look at that. That says something about me. Somebody says, "Ooooh, you like fart humor. Oooooh, you know what? I think you had some kind of fucked up love relationship with your Mom that I literally just made up in my head because I follow the teachings of Sigmund like a motherfucker, even though he probably visualized dicks everywhere."

how relevant.

i enjoy saying xiu xiu and yo la tengo...and man man....and gang gang dance...hell, anything spanish or repeated is fun to say...and captain beefheart is just great....

thinking economically, I'd go for something with 2 or 3 syllables...by that, I mean if I were creating a band to be popular...think about it, Linkin Park, Green Day, Radiohead, Nickelback....it works...which is why Godspeed You! Black Emperor will never be big with the MTV crowd...

atsonicpark 03.27.2007 10:05 AM

hahaha scissor shock.

i actually googled scissor shock and a "best band names ever" list came up from the suicidegirls message board, and it was on there. i try to choose band names that aren't going to bring up a bunch of other crap when ya google them.

anyway, my favorite band name ever is my bloody valentine. good movie too!

atsonicpark 03.27.2007 10:06 AM

ohhhhhhhh...

i used to think rapeman was a good and clever band name, but it's just a comic book character. it'd be like someone in japan calling their band scrooge mcduck.

king_buzzo 03.27.2007 10:38 AM

I always wondered...

Is Shellac just the backwards spelling of Callesh or is there more to the name?

atsonicpark 03.27.2007 10:44 AM

3.a phonograph record made of a breakable material containing shellac, esp. one to be played at 78 r.p.m.: an LP that can hold nearly 10 times as much as the old shellac.


probably has something to do with them being pro-records and anti-cd and such...

StevOK 03.27.2007 10:44 AM

Besides all the ones previously mentioned,
Tripping Daisy
The Flaming Lips
The Polyphonic Spree

also, there used to be a local band in my town that named themselves Baxter Stockman, after the Ninja Turtles villian that was kind of a rip-off of "The Fly".

Cardinal Rob 03.27.2007 10:46 AM

Shellac is crushed beetles and shizz that they use to glaze jelly beans, smarties and some fruit.

Godspeed You! Black Emperor
Kayo Dot
maudlin of the Well
Sonic Youth
Univers Zero
Lightning Bolt
The Fall
The Gerogerigegege
Infidel?/Castro!
Cabaret Voltaire (all the indie clubs that have Dada/Voltaire-related names should go die though)

I was going to post those as well....but then figured that I'd regret it.

Tim is another person on my evergrowing list of "rockstars gone bad". somewhere between Wes killing himself and David Bowie's slobber, he lost his cool.

but I pose to you a question for the ages: how does someone who plays guitar have such soft hands??

They're still really cool band names. Coincidentally, Jesus Hits Like the Atom Bomb is the coolest album name ever.

As for the last part, I have soft hands and play guitar, becuase I have obsessive compulsive disorder and I wash my hands every ten minutes or so.

theoretically that should dry them out!

seriously, The Secret to Tim's Silkie-Smooth Hands is something that I plan on asking Gawd all about when I die.

I imagine him shouting "HOW CAN I SING ABOUT SUNSHINE AND PUPPIES IF I DON'T HAVE ANY HANDCREAM??!!". fucking divas.



back in the day, back in Dallas, Tim and the gang would play gigs in people's living rooms. this was a few years before Tripping Daisy was formed and I think they called themselves Sofa Kingdom. chemicals have worked their black majick on a large part of my memories from that time....so who knows if that name is right.

on topic: SOFA KINGDOM

haha, I guess. Where you from? You speak of these guys like you know them. Get it? Sofa Kingdom. So fucking dumb. Yes. Sounds like the title of a Ween song.
