BandMaker.com

I think we can all agree that the hardest part of having a successful rock band is coming up with a good name. You can always find a drummer or a lead singer but a good band name… very difficult. Fortunately, there are no shortages of websites to help with this critical task. At BandMaker.com you plug in some words and get some recommendations. I think you can do the same thing at WORDLAB but I got distracted browsing their list of 4,000+ names for rock bands. A few of my favorites:

  • Adjustable Waistbands
  • Viral Bunny
  • Twinkie Spore
  • Turd Cribbage
  • Tim Tation and the Quagmire
  • Stool Patrol
  • Sandy Muff
  • Rock Paper Sisters
  • Nuclear Winter Squash

I wanted to try my hand at some names but came up dry. So I pulled a few from my tag cloud (sidebar)

  • Anonymous Audio
  • Blackberry Brush with Near Greatness
  • Coffee Zone Consciousness
  • PowerPoint Prison Santa
  • Smoking Spam Tattoos

Let me know if you decide to use one of these.

Top 10 Reasons Chicago Failed to Win the 2016 Olympics

From my friend (and recovering Bush apologist) David Brazeal:

10. IOC delegates disappointed to discover Oprah hadn’t hidden portable DVD players under their seats.

9. Voters perturbed by President Obama’s effort to lead them in a chant of “USA! USA!”

8. US credibility damaged when Michelle Obama expressed her hope to meet “international soccer star David Beckett.”

7. Many of Chicago’s most supportive IOC delegates still partying in Pittsburgh after last week’s G-20 protests.

6. Chicago officials bribed delegates with US dollars instead of euros.

5. Delegates unswayed by promises that Chicago Olympics will “save or create 8-million jobs.”

4. Withdrawal of US missile defense from Eastern Europe swayed large bloc of Polish and Czech soccer moms to support Rio de Janeiro.

3. Voters creeped out by Joe Biden’s pro-Chicago video presentation, praising “northern girls with the way they kiss.”

2. Delegates turned off when American Kanye West interrupted Tokyo’s presentation to say Beyonce really deserves to win.

1. It’s all George W. Bush’s fault.
