acid in the style of tenpole tudor (NickB), Friday, 1 March 2013 07:46 (thirteen years ago)

Sounds like Thurston has started up a man-with-a-van business now that SY are no more

There is a woman calling herself Lady Lamb Beekeeper. Does she make generic folk-pop with awful, affected vocals? Yes she does.

new hope for orang-utan (GOTT PUNCH II HAWKWINDZ), Friday, 1 March 2013 10:01 (thirteen years ago)

Chelsea Light Moving is the name of the removal company that Glass & Reich had in the early 70's iirc

Neil S, Friday, 1 March 2013 13:35 (thirteen years ago)

In which case I am sad that Philip Glass chose such a shit name for his removals company.

acid in the style of tenpole tudor (NickB), Friday, 1 March 2013 13:51 (thirteen years ago)

He should have gone with Mylorrysnotqostli

maybe I need to learn2google but the only reference to this I can find that hasn't ganked it off the press release for this album is a tweet from last July that I think is obliquely talking about the band

an average girl realizing that leggings aren't helping the cause (DJ Mencap), Friday, 1 March 2013 14:47 (thirteen years ago)

the hold steady

yellow jacket (spazzmatazz), Wednesday, 27 March 2013 06:04 (thirteen years ago)

I thought Thee Oh Sees was a pun on theosis and I like it
Usage of "Thee" band names is always at critical mass though, i.e. there are always exactly enough

Statistics (Number Theory or Poisson Distribution would be fine as band name but how can you give your band such a generic name?)

Just got an email today re: "The Harpoonist and the Axe Murderer." See, it's a two-man band, and one plays harmonica while the other...

Same old bland-as-sand mood mouthings (Dan Peterson), Thursday, 15 August 2013 19:12 (twelve years ago)

I was just today wondering whatever happened to these guys, and then I saw this thread had resurfaced. They would have done much better if they'd called themselves "The Minders" or "Apples In Stereo" or something like that...

night boat to mega therion (NickB), Tuesday, 11 February 2014 10:31 (twelve years ago)

Kind of disappointed to find that Les Incompétents has been taken as a band name.

doglato dozzy (dog latin), Tuesday, 11 February 2014 11:52 (twelve years ago)

Rav Me Away are super-good, though. Playing Brighton on the 15th (I am playing in London, sadly).
