Bleeqwot the Chef (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Tuesday, 22 March 2011 17:37 (fifteen years ago)

I always liked their name, but they're just kind of a neat instrumental combo, doesn't fit the name at all

It's something you would write on a master tape box, to indicate where the line-up tones are on the tape. But I agree it's a dumb name.

can't tell if you're making a joke or genuinely don't understand this thread

How does "Master Musicians of Bukkake" not yet make it on this list? Ever ask your gf to go see them with you? You might as well ask her if she wants to go see "Your Pussy Stank"...

I remember in the late 80's/early 90's hearing the name "Beat Happening" and thinking, what a horrible name for a band.

u nuts, Saint Dymphna one of the best albums of the decade & new one is utterly fab

quite happy to be considered all shades of insane for not agreeing with this in any way shape or form

not the thread for it tho i guess

I'm surprised no one's mentioned Bat For Lashes or whatever the fuck they're called.

some dude, Thursday, 23 June 2011 15:22 (fourteen years ago)

NOOOOO, some dude... You're missing out. I get why it's irritating, but at least 106.7 is something resembling real. Personally, I can barely contain my homicidal rage at "Uh Huh Her" and "The Pains of Being Pure at Heart"...

Clarke B., Thursday, 23 June 2011 15:25 (fourteen years ago)

not really a type of music i listen to a lot of so it's not like i'm willfully depriving myself -- i'm just saying holy shit what a terrible name

some dude, Thursday, 23 June 2011 15:40 (fourteen years ago)

It is supposed to be a pun isn't it?

Derartu Cthulhu (NickB), Tuesday, 31 January 2012 10:38 (fourteen years ago)

It's not a very good one if so. I've hated having to say their name outloud (which I do on occasion if someone asks me for music recommendations).

There's a band in Atlanta called Groove Stain, which is hilarious and the worst name I have ever heard for a band EVER.
