"We've Run Out of Band Names" is a better band name than any of those. Sometimes, the best answer is staring you right in the face.

When I was in college, I wanted to start a band called Super Small, since at that time it seemed like both of those words were being wildly overused in band names. The only thing that stood in my way was a lack of musical talent.

Probably my least favorite band names ever.

Don't forget I am the World Trade Center and the Pee Wee Fist.

The problem with bad band names is that I assume the band also sucks, because they clearly have no creativity. I rolled my eyes at the Fags and Southern Bitch (for obvious reasons) and later found out they were both pretty great bands. Neither exists any longer, though, and that doesn't surprise me. Who'd book either of them?

The funny thing is it can't be that hard to find a good band name. Just go over the song titles of your favorite artists and watch The Simpsons. I'm still waiting for a band to name itself Forbidden Donut.

They were on Saturday Night Live the other night. Umm. Saturday.

Very non-exciting folk strum duet. Female singer in obnoxious hat warbles something unintelligible ... pudgy, whiskered dude sings something sad but intelligible.

I switched the channel to watch a Cialis commercial or something. It might have been dog food. It doesn't matter.

I don't even mind the laconic moments in that stupid song of theirs. If they want to be quiet and moody like, say, The XX, God love 'em. It's that simulacrum of a "rousing" chorus, replete with stupid horns , and feigned-enthusiasm "heys", which really drives me up the wall. That's no more rock and roll than that gala at the Met is punk. That kind of Mumford and Sons inspired crap makes me yearn for Black 47. Iceland sucks. (Sorry Toland, I just don't know those bands you referenced.)

I have to agree with Nose and Kay about Iceland...

Dept of Clarification: My scorn was and is strictly reserved for Of Mice and M-- err ... Of Cabbages & Kin-- umm ... no ... that's not it ... what the hell were they called again? Of Monsters and Men? I think that was it.

In practically any other case I can think of, I like Icelandic bands just fine. I was a huge fan of The Sugarcubes (although they got steadily less interesting over time) and I really love everything I've heard by Sigur Ros. Bjork's solo career has been a bit too club-oriented for my tastes ... but she's still a compelling singer. Beats the snot out of Madonna any day of the week.

I just really dislike(d) OMAM. They feel like the sort of folk-rock band you'd get as a freebie with your Harry & David fruit basket. Mumford & Son are the same way. They both feel totally retail-oriented. I just want to punch each and every band member square in the face and send them packing.


But let's be clear about this: I love Iceland, OK?







In theory anyway. Never been there. What about y'all?

I received one of the most unexpected text messages of my life last night. My girlfriend was meeting up with an old schoolfriend at a bar. I get a text saying "My friend is dating the drummer from Anal Cunt, and would like to go on a double date with us." (Both me and the drummer live in Newton MA). Truthfully, I would prefer more degrees of separation between me and this band, but I am already preparing a list of potential converstation topics....just in case.

My wife was very confused when she saw that Abe Vigoda was listed as appearing at a local club. I had to explain it to her. Love the band, but I wonder if they get confused 'Barney Miller' fans showing up at their shows?

Keep in mind Turbonegro is all about ironic offense, i.e. song titles like "The Midnight NAMBLA," "Young Boys Feet," "I Got Erection" (all from an album called Ass Cobra), "Good Head" and "Rendezvous With Anus." Not to mention shoving Tom of Finland artwork down the throats of macho hard rock enthusiasts.

Of course, my favorite Turbonegro title is "Don't Say Motherfucker, Motherfucker."

I can't believe I didn't mention this way back when this thread was going, but, in reference the imaginary Shitty Beetles, Austin had a band for a while called the Dung Beatles, who did spot-on impressions of Beatles songs with all the lyrics changed to be about crap. I mean, shit. I mean, actual defecation and bowel movements. "From Meat to Poo," "A Hard Day's Shite," "Eight Shits a Week," etc. They'd even recite Beatles in-concert patter and change to reflect their, um, obsession - "The rest of you just rattle your toiletries" etc. And they'd do it all without cracking a smile or suppressing a giggle. The lyrical shtick got old quick, but I was genuinely impressed by their musical abilities.

I'm not going out of my way to defend them, but the band I am the World Trade Center chose their name prior to the attack.

And I like the name Someone Still Loves You, Boris Yeltsin...not enough to actually familiarize myself with their output, but you get the idea.

While we're on the topic, I'm currently listening to the unfortunately-named Dogs Die in Hot Cars technically-unreleased sophomore effort (now known as Making Pop Nonsense–recommended tracks include "Something for the Good Boys" and "Serious," neither of which sound anything like XTC), and it's not going to grow hair on your chest or anything, but damn!...

In the vein of Abe Vigoda, I can't stand the band name Dale Earnhardt Jr. Jr., though I like the band itself just fine.

I'm also very irked by the country popsters The Band Perry. I guess they wanted to make sure no one confused them with Katy Perry, but could they have come up with a more awkward sounding way to do so?

I think the name Dale Earnhardt Jr. Jr. is funny, too. But then, my in-laws are all Nascar fans, and anything that gives me an opportunity to rib them a bit always is welcome to me.

Of course it doesn't count the Scorpions...scorpions are an entirely different family of arthropod from mere insects. Insects only have 6 legs. Scorpions have 8 legs--that's TWO MORE LEGS. Nigel Tufnel says that clearly makes them better.

You know, having re-immersed myself in the metal world in the past year or so, I'm hard-pressed to define all these subgenres myself. I would have assumed the term "deathcore" meant death metal crossed with hardcore. But it turns out that's "metalcore" (Killswitch Engage and the like). And don't even ask me what the difference between black metal and "blackened death metal" might be...

Everytime I pass a Luby's that advertises "blackened tilapia" on its board, I have to repeat the phrase in a Cookie Monster rasp. Good thing I never set foot in Luby's, or I'd probably be arrested.

Thought that was kind of funny so I looked 'em up, and they do indeed seem rather silly, with song titles like "Putting The Fun in Funeral" and "Can You Necro-Feel It?"

That was the stupidest band name I'd ever heard, until it got topped about two hours later!

Jeez, this group has a tribute band? With that name?

Who's more foolish: the fool, or the one who follows him?

Between imagining Toland getting arrested at Luby's for imitating the Cookie Monster and imagining a music review in Justin Wilson's voice, my Wednesday is off to a terrific start. God, I love this board.

Either a more-clever-than-thou indie rock band or a prog/fusion instrumental band. Hopefully the latter.

More Clever Than Thou ... that's not bad ...

Actually, Too Clever By Half is a better one.
