So, I’ve been kicking this around for a few months now, but the recent “ID this song” threads I’ve participated in helped convince me it would be fun and worth the time (to me) to have a blog where I could write about the music I listen to and the people who make it.
As many of you know, I primarily listen to thrash/metal/punk/garage rock, with an occasional weird noise album thrown in, so that’s prolly what I’ll be writing about.
The thing is, I can’t come up with a name I like for the blog.
Thanks to the new game and to Metalocalypse, “brutal” is oversaturated atm. “Metal” is already incorporated into about 6 billion blog names/websites, and lots of other stereotypical words associated with the genre(s) are just lame as shit.
I have a handful of names I’ve come up with, but what I’d love is if I could get suggestions here that I could take with me to my next brainstorming session with Blue Elk and some other friends. Then I plan to come back to the SD with a short enough list to make a poll and see what the consensus is here. Then I’ll likely ignore everything because something pops into my head, and I’ll name the blog that.
Names don’t need to even reference metal or music or anything, as long as they are memorable and don’t suck.
Sound Scrapes.
Sounds like soundscapes.
When digging for the truth you eventually scrape the bottom of the barrel.
Kinda punk.
Kinda metal.
Reveals what’s beneath the surface of the music.
Will be misread by some to mean sound scraps which might be like a battle to see which genre pwns all metal or punk.
It’s never been used, my gift to you.
don’t ask, some of what I’ve already got on my list are very obscure songs by 60s garage bands, so your suggs™ fit right in. One thing I’m trying to avoid, tho, is confounding my blog with a particular artist or even genre. For instance, one of my own suggs™ is “Web Of Sound”, but I’m reluctant because it’s the name of an album by The Seeds. One of my fav 60s bands, but also fairly well known amongst the subculture.
Vambo, I love a good pun (and lots of bad ones too).
Oakminster, not sure about that; wouldn’t that then make me Bo Mojo? Snow Bo Mojo, even? LOL
