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.

Is this guy actually Owen Ashworth?

MSTRKRFT

lol Pissed Jeans.

Seconding "bands that use thee instead of the."

Also, until very recently: Hot Tuna.

Lali Puna

wanna be a balla, shot calla, twenty-inch blades on Tame Impala

I avoided the English Dogs for a long time because I thought they'd be a dodgy right wing Oi band, and not actually a pretty decent GBH-style punk band (not so keen on their later crossover thrash period though)

The Beatles (I mean, not really but it is an awful name. The pun sucks.) Splodginess Abounds, à;GRUMH..., When People Were Shorter And Lived Near The Water, My Cat Is An Alien, Dumpy's Rusty Nuts, Circle Of Dead Children, Urban Dance Squad.

Pallett iirc.

that's rufus's dad's fault though -- and loudon is a pretty odd name too.

calling my next project Contemplative Ostrich

Child Abuse, anyone?

Whenever I think about Tame Impala now, I always get mild lols with Ilxor's pic post in my head.

Umphrey's McGee seconded, if it's been mentioned. If not, shame on all y'all.

A+

Dipping into the Jam Band pool is too easy. Endless thread, endless, e.g.: Disco Biscuits.

RATATAT

Child Abuse is a great band, but then I also like AIDS Wolf, so ...

Isn't there a band called Child Pornography? I thought I read that here in these forums but maybe not. Talk about a name you DO NOT want to google!

yes there is - it is actually one guy - and he is a friend of mine & table is the table, actually.
