I've heard the alleged FO Machete/Chris de Burgh disgust story being also attributed to Arab Strap's 'The Cunted Circus' live album. Supposedly he booked Mono as a small venue to do some kind of private CD release event in, where he caught sight of an offending album by either band

BSS, Casiotone — those are good indie acts (coming from a guy normally averse to indie). My choice: Ross From FriendsCom Truise too probably, although that might relate to Sc13ntology as much as anything else.

Deerhunter — meh. I do also associate Broken Social Scene and Built To Spill even though there’s not really any connection to speak of.

Or are you just agreeing with poster who said all band names suck, we just got used to some of them.
― enochroot, Thursday, 24 June 2021 01:09 (two years ago) link
Built to Spill and GBV are both excellent band names, IMO (whatever you may think of those bands).

I suppose the are all toxically dull in quite a American male way. Father John Misty and Bon Iver are maybe the odd ones out and I dislike those for different reasons. I can’t think off any amazing band names off the top of my head but I don’t mind most. The Byrds, 100gecs and Blondie are all fine, for example.
― Alba, Thursday, 24 June 2021 01:28 (two years ago) link
I mentioned GBV before and got pushback. I mean I guess it's a good name for a gospel accapella group or some shit

I think the meaning is that the artist(s) is/are guided by the voices in their heads?

I’m highly partial to names like Ross From Friends and DJ Sabrina the Teenage DJ (but I totally get why others aren’t).

there was a glasgow band called fuck-off machete but i can't remember if they were good or not.
I used to be email penpals with Natasha and she sent me some F.O. Machete stuff that I don't think ever got commercially released. Now I feel bad because I don't know where I put it.

“Ross From Friends” to me represents the worst of rave culture and discounts all that is good about it. If you were a fan of the show as a child I could see the nostalgic appeal tho. They have made some decent music too. (I listened to it by accident ok?)

Can't get over the idea of someone coming up with the name of Cigarettes After Sex as name and it getting past the stage of their friends/families/label wincing/'having a word'
― PaulTMA, Thursday, 24 June 2021 11:05 (two years ago) link
Lmao. Maybe it was like Chicane which I was recently bored enough to learn came up with their name by pulling it out of a hat. (Apparently it’s a racing term? Dunno.)
― recovering internet addict/shitposter (viborg), Thursday, 24 June 2021 11:10 (two years ago) link
Why’d you name the band Built to Spill? Were you bad at holding drinks?Ha! It was a game my wife and I played where we’d take turns writing a word. She’d write a word, then I’d write a word and we’d make up poems and stories. So when I was trying to come up with a band name we went back through them together to see if there was anything interesting and it was a part of that.
I guess some people just don't care what they call their band. Fair enough.
― Alba, Thursday, 24 June 2021 12:07 (two years ago) link
I always liked that band name, just the cadence and off-rhyme. Maybe it doesn't sound as good in a British accent idk?

Naming a band can be a wearing process, especially if all the members have divergent ideas of what an acceptable name is. So arbitrary or least dislikable ones are often the best option and usually borne of compromise.

The only problem with Insane Clown Posse is that two people are not enough to constitute a Posse, I would say you need at least four.

if insane clown posse has taught us anything its that a posse, like a family, can take many forms
― nobody like my rap (One Eye Open), Thursday, 24 June 2021 13:49 (two years ago) link
XXP - If Oonglebinky were a UK band they would have been a festival band from the very late 80s, sounded a bit like Ozric Tentacles and I would have had a bootleg of them at the Treworgey Tree Fayre in 1989.
― Maresn3st, Thursday, 24 June 2021 13:52 (two years ago) link
xp so what you are saying is that the fans of the Insane Clown Posse, the juggalos, are in fact part of the Posse, as they have formed their own subculture?
― A viking of frowns, (Camaraderie at Arms Length), Thursday, 24 June 2021 13:55 (two years ago) link
If you were a fan of the show as a child I could see the nostalgic appeal thoI was actually old enough in the 90s that 90s nostalgia deployed by younger people “works” on a certain face-value level for me. I’m not really susceptible to 80s nostalgia, involving stuff from when I was actually a kid (that does feel cheap to me).

She's a solo artist, apparently. For some reason I afford them more leeway with silly names. Unless they're Father John Misty, it seems.

if it weren't for the fact that i picked up a cd of theirs for a coin in a charity shop last year then i would think this was a joke/made up name.but, nope, it's a genuine thing.as for the album : it's perfectly fine downtempo/library grooves, and rather enjoyable.

i too made the mistake of avoiding beabadoobee because of the name, but actually she's pretty good tbh. this is off the new EP and it's kind of hayley williams x the sundays x sixpence none the richer x stina nordenstam x the pale saints:
