Self help: CHOOSING A GOOD BAND NAME

this is from my blog.

choosing a band name can be difficult, especially if you're young and untalented and don't know the rolling stones. as such, i have spent the last seventeen minutes hand writing this list of useful tips, pointers, suggestions, old useless men, and sample names.
of course, i'm too lazy to actually write that out so i'm going to have to let you (singular) (me) figure this out on your own. it's like a fun (1000pc jigsaw) puzzle. (personal record: 1:53:16)

the [word word] [experience, project, misdemeanor, etc]
ex: the punk rap analogy, the uplifting fast-food misdemeanor, the mighty threesome experience
real ex: the alan parson's project, the jimi hendrix experience, the string cheese incident
bad ex: insane clown posse

one word that either doesn't make sense or isn't real
ex: fanus, pencil, feelings
real ex: phish, spoon, aquabats
bad ex: grinderman

[adjective noun]
ex: the righteous kangaroo, the hysterical cancer,
real ex: modest mouse, bedouin soundclash, rolling stones
bad ex: kelly clarkson (kelly, if used in the proper context, is in fact an ajective. i once asked a harvard professor, before he stole my money and my gameboy.)

[word] preposition/conjunction [word]
ex: the vinegar of god, the bees from venice, staplers at work
real ex: tv on the radio, de la soul, iron and wine
bad ex: band of horses

indelible lunchmeat
this is probably my favorite name ever for a band. better than amish rake fight! (no, it's not)
memorable tuna
similar to indelible lunchmeat, but it reaches out to a more fish-based audience.
rough riding with ronnie
actually, this might be a better name for an instructional work-out tape (make sure "rock me amadeus" is played at least once on the soundtrack)
cat-cat
when you get too old for kitty-kitty, you know where to turn -- and it's not here. because this name is really really stupid. why you named your band kitty-kitty is beyond me.
spuds
white trash wannabe-hipsters 80s cover band? then this name is absolutely perfect for you! consequently, no one will ever take you seriously. ever.
come see us live
spuds isn't working out too well? that's strange. it's a good name, so it's entirely logical to assume you have a good band, right? NO. but maybe you can sucker some people into coming to see you live. just don't tell them what your name used to be.
chips and salsa
two things that go very well together. you simply can't go wrong with chips and salsa, unless someone offers you seven layer dip. then you can change your name to "chips and seven layer dip."
two more than cancer
ohohoooo, isn't THIS creative?
legalize it (freedom)
you say you like this name? i'll bet you listen to a lot of phish then, don't you? it's cool, so do i. they're very good. but still, this name is pretty bad. i mean, if you WANT to be a ******bag, then by all means -- but otherwise, just go with something else, preferably of better taste.
animal twister
the sheer thought of this makes me giggle hysterically.
moses
later, when you start to doubt the material you guys have played and recorded the way that a number of jews apparently doubted their faith upon switching to christianity, you can change your name to jesus. at least then you'll attract the anti-semitic crowd. (if you don't like moses, david probably works just as well)

 

**** Astronomers~

 

I'm glad I could help.

 

Oh, oopse. Thread was tl;dr, I thought you were asking for a good band name. xD

 

lol I looked at the word of the day on dictionary.com

good band name = factitious

 

Name it self help~

 

Don't name it The District Ambulance.
It is already taken, and it's lameness would double exponentially :<

 

No, no, my band is Amish Rake Fight. THIS IS FOR YOU GUYS.

 

LOL! ok. nice name though

 

ARF ftw. <_>
