He's probably recorded some solo albums by now.<br />That reminds me too of a 'blues name generator' thing I saw once; I think they all included a 'Fat', 'Blind' or 'Catfish'...<br />'Slaughterhouse Five' was perfect...! Book titles have so much potential and I'm going to be racking my brains tonight trying to think of more (but will probably end up with books that have been named after bands instead...)<br />Chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02423624920558505937noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6075393268513251879.post-37321793073730240402013-10-07T21:22:42.849+01:002013-10-07T21:22:42.849+01:00Now if it was Clubfoot Chaffinch and The Liquid Bi...Now if it was Clubfoot Chaffinch and The Liquid Biscuits I think you'd have a New Orleans Jazz / Blues combo. I've always liked book titles but they inevitably get snaffled up by others before I can form the band/learn to play an instrument - I had The Slaughterhouse Five all ready to go (a four piece of course) but it got stolen !

I'd also like to hear the Moon Pies :-)<br />I agree about the 90s indie bands, especially a lot of those Sub Pop / AmRep outfits. I am guilty of judging a band by its name - and sometimes its lyrics - so I think you've got the right idea to not pay too much attention.Chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02423624920558505937noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6075393268513251879.post-20019690899473216952013-10-07T17:48:51.494+01:002013-10-07T17:48:51.494+01:00The Band and the Smiths... good point, didn't ...The Band and the Smiths... good point, didn't do them any harm! And now everyone has to consider their google searchability so perhaps that's another reason why they're getting weirder. Your street names may not make it musically but will probably become TV programmes in their own right some day soon, I reckon...Chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02423624920558505937noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6075393268513251879.post-84317913266466083272013-10-07T17:45:15.985+01:002013-10-07T17:45:15.985+01:00I suspected we wouldn't be the only ones!

For the most part I treat band names like lyrics...a band should have a name and lyrics (that's the rules) but, I try not to pay too much attention to either.e.f. bartlamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05940814285264472785noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6075393268513251879.post-82386214130191137332013-10-07T11:50:19.889+01:002013-10-07T11:50:19.889+01:00I agree the phrase 'that would be a great Band...I agree the phrase 'that would be a great Band name! often is said! What about 'The Band' and 'The Smiths', they went for the most uninteresting names, but they both worked, due to the great music I suppose. How about 'Strictly X Factor' or even worse 'Corrienders'.....street music of course!Old Pa's Cornerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14367815328789444775noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6075393268513251879.post-14116015939270268012013-10-07T08:56:19.989+01:002013-10-07T08:56:19.989+01:00So Mrs S & I are not alone in playing this lit...So Mrs S & I are not alone in playing this little game! "Sounds like the name of a band!" is a cry that often echoes around Swede Towers too. We should start compiling an ongoing list, though sadly Liquid Biscuit & the Clubfoot Chaffinches wouldn't count, as I can clearly remember them doing a session for John Peel in the early 70's!<br /><br />Magnificent choice of tuneage by the way.The Swedehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13237251779370596904noreply@blogger.com
