I miss when I was in an indie band in my adolescence and every cool-sounding, esoteric noun I discovered felt like a perfect band name, song title or lyric. Like, I would have gotten a lot of mileage out of “Laramidia”

i was never in a band but that didn't stop me from starting a prospective list of band names in late 2013 that probably now numbers in the hundreds 😆 it's fun to go back from time to time and scroll through them — often there are clusters of several where i clearly was riffing on, say, places i lived, or people i admired, or books/movies i loved. mostly, though, i think it's just been a fun ongoing wordplay exercise — lots of puns and portmanteaus.

the very first one was Chris Farley and the Squealers, obviously riffing on a favorite comedic actor and iconic reggae band 😆 some others: The Tough Break Bipedal to the Metal Turn and Cough Freakshowoffs Valhallelujah Dear Mr. Fallacy Wonkamobile Force of Hobbit The Samuel L. Jackson 5 Sugar Cereal Sympathetic Villains Frozen in Carbonite The Distant Relatives The Dirt Worshipers Chump Change Crux of the Matter Falken's Maze Rocket Science Last-Ditch Effort The Blunt Instruments Whistler's Mothers More's the Pity Knuckle Sandwich The Probable Cause Major Award Death or Serious Injury Pretty Fucking Good Milkshake
