A disorganized index of band names that may or may not exist, but, regardless, have been invented by me, whether or not, by some telepathic fluke, the band named already exists (say, a reggae band from Sweden) without my knowledge, in which case we’ll chalk it up to the cosmic powers of the universe and bask in its glory; otherwise the names are up for grabs, open to a community of people, probably split about fifty-fifty between those who will give credit where credit is due and those who will unjustly take credit for something their own feeble minds never could have conceived, minds so crippled and miniscule that it would never occur to them that this verbose introduction is, indeed, the first band name.

She lives in a tiny kingdom in Topeka, Kansas, a little Oasis far from the metropolises of Boston and Chicago. No one here is in a Rush to do much of anything. But the queen’s bouts of boredom often lead to Extreme Madness. She tries hard to fight them but it’s of no use. Television doesn’t help. But usually, after three bottles of Everclear, the Muse is upon her: bomb Beirut !!! she screams, and so more Battles are fought in her name—the War in the Balkans, for instance, happened over a broken nail. She’ll watch the bombs drop on CNN until her vision starts to Blur. The sound of a Jet engines puts her close to Nirvana. But when the bodies pile too high for her to count, the boredom returns and she summons the Glorytellers to the court to entertain her, though she knows they always disappoint. They tell a story of her daddy throwing the opening Fastball at the Rangers game and how the crowd booed and booed. They do their best recreation of the Rocky movies, the high point being a dead-on impersonation of Apollo Creed. But it’s all Garbage. They have failed and must choose their Poison. Anthrax is always quite popular. The queen administers it with a Spoon. The tellers-to-be never seem to be Disturbed by certain death, maybe because they all have soft spots for a Blondie like the queen, that or infantile, spoon-feeding fetishes. Even though the queen is perceived as a Supertramp, she’s never found true Love, and this is the root of her sorrow. Quick to say Yes to an easy screw (the teller’s, though all dead, would attest), she’s yet to have her first Kiss. No one seems to understand her. She’s resorted to referring to herself in the third person, relaying all her dreams into a little Sony cassette player that doesn’t even have a rewind button. She moans and vents and complains and cries, on and on until the Tape runs ou</p>http://bandnamesetc.tumblr.com/post/51225532http://bandnamesetc.tumblr.com/post/51225532Tue, 29 Jul 2008 00:00:00 -0400<p><b>Challenge: </b>try to invent a story using all 35 of these band names.</p> <p>America, Anthrax, Battles, Beirut, Blondie, Blur, Boston, Bush, Chicago, Creed, Disturbed, Everclear, Extreme, Fastball, Garbage, Glorytellers, Jet, Kansas, Karate, Kiss, Love, Madness, Muse, Nirvana, Oasis, Poison, Queen, Rush, Spoon, Supertramp, Tape, Television, War, Yes,  !!!</p>http://bandnamesetc.tumblr.com/post/51225490http://bandnamesetc.tumblr.com/post/51225490Sat, 26 Jul 2008 00:00:00 -0400<p>Johnny Cash Money Millionaires</p> <p>Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young Jeezy</p> <p>Lil’ Wayne Newton</p> <p>The Bloodhound Gang of Four Seasons</p> <p>Belle and Sebastian Bach</p> <p>Frank Black Sabbath</p> <p>R Kelly Clarkson</p> <p>Garth Brooks and Dunn (a big pile of shit)</p> <p>Nick Cave In</p> <p>Color Me Bad Religion</p> <p>504 Boyz II Men at Work</p> <p>Third Eye Blind Melon</p> <p>Stone Temple Pilots vs Airplanes</p> <p>Howlin’ Wolf Parade</p> <p>And You Will Knows Us By The Trail Of Dead Kennedys</p> <p>Bikini KMFDM</p> <p>Goodie Mobb Deep</p> <p>Project Pat Benetar</p> <p>UNKLE Tupelo</p> <p>Vampire Weekend at Bernie’s</p> <p>Vince Vaughn Beethoven</p>http://bandnamesetc.tumblr.com/post/51225424http://bandnamesetc.tumblr.com/post/51225424Tue, 22 Jul 2008 00:00:00 -0400<p>Black Acre (definitely a death metal band)</p> <p>Duty to Warn (Christian rock band heralding the apocalypse)</p> <p>Attractive Nuisance (like Christian Slater in <i>True Romance</i>)</p> <p>Unborn Widower (futurist techno; inherently pessimistic)</p> <p>Known Arsonists (currently recording their next album in prison)<br/><br/>Fertile Octogenarians (a barbershop octet hopped up on Viagra)</p>http://bandnamesetc.tumblr.com/post/51225360http://bandnamesetc.tumblr.com/post/51225360Tue, 22 Jul 2008 00:00:00 -0400
