in a way there is a playfulness with this naming trend that i'm tempted to equate with some of the old rave producer/acts. this is all a bit 'tweer' tho perhaps.

I think Eye from Boredoms should get some cred too for his influence A) in visual arts with his colors everywhere collages he's been doing for 20 years and B) his use of emerging technologies in ritualistic and tribal ways, which everyone from animal collective on down have been reinterpreting

What's up with our generation being so nostalgia obsessed? We grew up in the sunny, booming, carefree 90s, and became adults in the worst decade since the Great Depression ... kinda depressing, really. During my second week of college (freedom, yeah!) I got to watch the WTC towers fall from my dorm window, and watch all my classmates cry their eyes out because their family members couldn't be found. Now nobody can find work and there's no recovery in sight.
So yeah, how great was it being forced to watch Captain Planet in health class? Super awesome!

oh i listened to a neon indian song. it wasn't bad.
band names have been awful for decades. sometimes i need to pause and remind myself of that fact. a band named "japan." that's dumb. or "new order." that's dumb too. we just forget because we are so accustomed to them.
― by another name (amateurist), Thursday, 11 February 2010 10:38 (fourteen years ago) link
You know how it happens. Bands pick a new name every six months or so, then suddenly they get "national acclaim" and are stuck with the name they had at the time.
Like, is "The Crucial Three" a better name than "Echo and the Bunnymen" ?
