Anal Cunt & Does It Offend You, Yeah? FTW. Haha, kinda two sides to the same coin, methinks.
Margot & The Nuclear So-And-So's is not only ridiculous but half-assed at the same time.

Anal Cunt is totally appropriate for the music though.
Radiohead is one of those names that you've spent enough time around to not even really consider. Actually thinking about it though, yeah, it's pretty lame. Definitely retains a whiff of the 90's.
I still kind of wish Eyehategod was just called I Hate God. That's a name.

I don't have any idea whether ...And You WIll Know Us By The Trail Of Our Dead is actually worth contemplating at all but their name really irks me. Way too many words to say very little.
One more vote for Casiotone... actually being a decent act though. Never met the guy. His music seems sincere enough.

Pretty much any band name that begins with an ellipsis isn't going to sit well with me.
― viborg, Thursday, 15 April 2010 00:35 (3 years ago) Permalink
Casiotone does have that cleverness ingredient that irks so many people. Yet I like the name.
Architecture in Helsinki is silly, and slightly condescending, like Helsinki is exotic, no? There's a worse one along these lines, although noone has heard of them: Village of Savoonga. Dude, it's a little village up in Alaska!!

vIborg you added a word, and either way most people just say "Trail of Dead," if that helps.
― Evan, Thursday, 15 April 2010 01:55 (3 years ago) Permalink
Sure it does, I think it was actually the implication of "our dead" that I misinterpreted which was really bugging me. Thanks for clarifying...reading up on them they sound half-decent - maybe I'll give them a shot after I clear a couple hundred songs out of my New folder.

vlborg, I'd go with the first three albums. Beyond that they sound like a lesser band trying really hard to imitate themselves. Some people really enjoy that stuff though.

Casitone is thinking of changing his name. Tried to dissuade him, or else he should change it to a past album title: "Vs. Children" or "Advance Base Battery Life" or even go with the acronym CFTPA, which he shares with the Canadian Film and Television Producers Association.

I'm disappointed there isn't more wildly irrational writing off of people because of their real name. I sure didn't have to hear Jack Johnson before deciding that his music was boring.

AIDS Wolf are actually pretty cool people.
But actually I'm kind of a hypocrite in this area. I love Wolf Eyes and AIDS Wolf, but I've got no interest in ever hearing Wolf Parade b/c they've got a stupid name, but then didn't they come out around the same time as Mice Parade?

Yeah, the Canadian indie press and the whole Canadian indie culture looooove YSPWSD!. Poppy indie-rock with chicks in the band? Hello, welcome to Canada. And of course additional outpourings of appreciation over the last couple of weeks. A buddy of mine who is normally a drum'n'bass/mashup DJ who is formelly on the record as being ultra-suspicious of anthing resembling a "band" called me last night to tell me he's doing a 2 hour show dedicated to them. I was like "cool", thinking "wtf?".
