Feeling slightly loopy this afternoon -- I'm down a pint, having recently returned from Puget Sound Blood Center. (If you're able, go donate at the first opportunity. It's not a big deal and really makes a difference). So I'm not going out dancing or anything tonight, but I can still pick some favorites:
Allah-las
It sounds like a typical wordless pop refrain and looks like a prayer. Rock and roll has a deep root in gospel music, but there's nothing wrong with getting ecumenical.
Don and the Quixotes
Classic band name format + literary allusion = a real winner.
Hot Dog Time Machine
Two unrelated objects mashed up to form a name that trips off the tongue and sounds great, even if I'm not sure what it means. It made me laugh.
Kids & Explosions
They go together, no matter how much we try to keep them apart. It's probably a good thing you can't get a really 'splody chemistry set these days.
Trashcan Wizard
I see Oscar the Grouch with a wand and a pointy hat.
Naming a band is an act of concentrated creative expression. Square Pig in a Round Hole exists to reward five favorite band names each week. Winners are listed alphabetically. Selection is wholly unscientific and subject to whim, with a bias toward wordplay, humor, and local flavor. In most cases, I won't know anything about the bands at the time of selection. Thanks to the Seattle Times club listings for abundant source material!
