Onion A.V. Club’s Band Names 2009

SpaceMonkeyX — Fri, 11 Dec 2009 15:22:52 +0000

It’s that time again, kids! The Onion A.V. Club has come out with their list of best band names for the year. As you may know, I love finding phrases that would make good band names, so this annual list holds a special place in my heart. (Wow. Linking to that makes me realize it’s been a while since I’ve updated this portion of the website. I should get on that…)

Some of my favorites from The Onion’s list this year include:

Ska Skank Redemption
Moth! Fight!
The Terror Pigeon Dance Revolt! (That’s brilliant)
The Christopher Walk-Ins
Truman Peyote
Calvin and The Shitpunks
The Van Gobots
Redneck Jedi (Possibly my favorite)
And perhaps the best of the bunch, Bitches With Instruments. It’s just so perfect in its simplicity.

Enjoy the rest of the list, though keep in mind that there are some names that are a tad bit offensive (by design, of course, because nothing makes Mommy and Daddy more upset than you being a rebel).

And now I feel like I need to update my own Band Name!! list, so look for a new post soon.

New Bands!

Tumblr

The other night I decided to look into Tumblr a little bit. Tumblr is basically a social bookmarking site, but there are no tags like on Delicious (formerly del.icio.us) or StumbleUpon – you just have your own page of links, videos, photos, chat transcriptions, audio, and blog posts. Like Twitter, you can “Follow” people you like and you’ll see their latest posts when you login, possibly providing more inspiration for your own posts.

Many people use it as their primary website, but more people, like me, use it as a library of sorts to store things they want to check out later or want to share with others. I guess it’s really just a scrapbook of your internet travels, a concept I kind of like.

But rather than try to explain what a Tumblr is, just take a few minutes to check out my site: spacemonkeyx.tumblr.com

You’ll get some idea of what it’s all about, and you can always bookmark the page or grab the RSS to see stuff that I think is worth sharing with others.

Enjoy! And if you think it’s something you want to get into, let me know what your page is and I’ll follow you.

Onion AV Club Band Name-O-Rama

Check out this excellent article on The Onion AV Club – they ask the staff what their fictional band name would be. But the real gold mine are the reader comments. Great stuff.

Band Names Galore!
