Ever since I read Sheila Graham’s biography of F. Scott Fitzgerald, I’ve thought The Beloved Infidels would be a great band name. A friend of mine is the bassist for a new wave-ish band called Glass Plastic, and I once had this weird as hell dream where I was the lead singer for a band called Johnny Temple and The Natural Blondes. ---

Azure you are the god of wierd ass band names!!! I swear I could see a band called “There’s a cactus up my ehhh!” BTW, there is a band called One Thousand Homo DJ’s I liked the Rutles…but its been taken by Eric Idle. Some that stick in my mind that I know are bands from Southern California Yuckmouth (good name…remember the commercial?) Speedball Special Korovo Milk Plus (think clockwork orange) ---

Heath, I guess when you’ve played in bands and/or hung out with them and you get a little too much booze flowing through your system… you tend to come up with some interesting band names…not to mention what you had for dinner that night. :Þ WEIRD WHIRLPOOL WANKERS THE COLLAGEN INJECTIONS YOU NEED BOTOX POKE MY OCULAR ORGAN * * * There is no right and wrong… only fun and boring. ---

Did anyone who saw “Runaway Bride” recall them mentioning a band called “Denieces and Denephews”? A relative of my sister-in-law (can’t remember if it’s her aunt or uncle)is in that very band!
