Title: You need a name for your band?
Post by: dave from knoxville on October 30, 2010, 04:37:13 PM: Hi Tom,

I am listening to your discussion about your new band, specifically the part about the importance of the band name. I would like to suggest "Nine Inch Smails".

Your pal,

dfk

Post by: Wes on November 01, 2010, 02:56:29 PM: If the Bowie theme remains, I continue to support The Good Lookin' White Dukes.

Ideally, all rehearsals would be scheduled over Craigslist and would take place in the parking lots of nearby shopping malls.

How about Lotta Dudes?

I imagined Julie as our bass player. She could wear a fake moosestache, I suppose.

Title: Re: You need a name for your band?
Post by: cavorting with nudists on November 14, 2010, 09:07:07 AM: I had a dream last night involving a band called "Beware, Simone." Not that that would be a good name for Tom's band. In fact, it would be terrible. It sounds more like a dark ambient project. In fact, it sounds more like a Jon Wurster parody name for a dark ambient project.

Have you heard of the band "Au Revoir, Simone"?

Named after the line from Pee Wee's Big Adventure. Since Tom talked about Francis' father on last week's show, I think this counts as a Best Show dream.
