"Tubigrip Revelation" is the band name that life has suggested to me this week.

And what's the name of their difficult 2nd album?

"The Woman Who Couldn't Fly"?

Post by: mattc on 01 May, 2014, 10:26:22 pm: I genuinely have no idea what this is all about - has there been some horseplay in Nikkkki's life? ???

However, I think The Eagulls is the best band name I've heard in quite a few months. (Haven't decided if I like their music, but that's secondary, innit?)

It was intended as a repository for those not-actually-band-names-but-word-combinations-that-bubble-up-and-really-should-be-band-names (or album titles) that crop up in day-to-day life, however it seems to have become something of an homage to my borked ankle (https://yacf.co.uk/forum/index.php?topic=31801.msg1672824#msg1672824).

Fußgelenke would do some serious electronic instrumentation, I reckon.

Post by: Jaded on 02 May, 2014, 05:13:21 pm: If I formed a band it would be called Faecal Matter and the first album would be eponymous and therefore perfectly describing the music.

Yes, but is that the band, or the second album?

(and yes of course "Trebuchet" already exist - you'll need to be more original than that!!!)

Post by: Mr Larrington on 21 January, 2021, 07:22:01 pm: Brian Eno's “Taking Tiger Mountain (By Strategy)” would have been called “Taking The Internet (By Storm)” if there'd been a the Internet in 1974. Brian Eno, however, would still have been called Brian Eno, with or without a trebuchet.

Above may contain traces of Lie.

How about I get 80% of the royalties and you get what's left from that after expenses plus a bowl of M&Ms, with all the brown ones removed?

Hmm. I can see the third album being called Hard Bargain.
