So, I'm listening to 5:55 by Charlotte Gainsbourg, daughter of Serge Gainsbourg. Produced by Nigel Goderich (Radiohead, Air, Beck), with music by Air, and lyrics by Jarvis Cocker. Just got it. Like it. Perfect for a cold winter afternoon spent indoors...

How hard is it to pick a band name? Really hard. I think we need some new words too. Do you like Wolf Parade? Or was it Wolfmother. No, it was Mice Parade, or Modest Mouse, or Mouse on Mars. Deerhoof. Deerhunter. Serena Maneesh. (ok, I guess that's pretty original.)

There is a common theme here - just seemingly random words stuck together. So, I headed on over to Band Name Maker for some help. Here's what I got:

Fractured Dummy
Symbol of the Hydro Tiger
Trusting Pickle
Auto Bite
Injected Stingray and the Seeing Scooper
Adopted Farmer
Wound Lingo of the Going Hallucination
Diving Pickle
Malevolent of the Trusty
Quivering Treasure

The next record by Wound Lingo of the Going Hallucination should be pretty good!

On a related note, check out Rhapsody's recent post about the proliferance of exclamation points in band names, presumably in an effort to one-up the barrage! of! similar! sounding! names!
