Well, I’ve recorded with a band called The Apes Of Darwin, so I can’t recommend that (assuming you can call a single bootleg tape of our one public concert “recorded”). However, the name we switched to later hasn’t been picked up by anyone, so Escher’s Basement still remains for someone to use. * * * JMCJ **_Not Even Mentioned_ Most Popular Poster of the 20th Century Competition As overseen by Coldfire** ---

> [@](#): > > I’ve always thought, if you could get around the copyright issues, that ‘Ritalin’ would be a great name for a high-energy band. This has already happened, sort of. After Skinny Puppy broke up, their lead singer Nivek Ogre started a group called Ritalin. However, he was still smarting from a lawsuit involving another project he was involved with called “Welt” (apparently, the name was already taken), and decided to give the name of the group as Rx. But everybody knows it’s really called “Ritalin”, even if you don’t actually find that name on the CD package anywhere. As for the original question, one night I and some friends were sitting in a coffeehouse, when someone mentioned that their latte was too frothy. If they wanted a frothy latte, they’d have ordered a cappuccino. We immediately seized upon the idea of “The Frothy Lattes” as a band name. We soon expanded it to “Melvin Caffeine and the Frothy Lattes”. Melvin Caffeine would be the lead singer. The guitarist would be named Maxwell House, and the drummer would be named Juan Valdez. That’s as far as we ever got with it, though. Most of the other band names I’ve ever come up with I’ve forgotten, except for “Koinkidink”, “Phased Inverter Coil”, and “Attention Deficit Hey What’s On TV?” * * * An infinite number of rednecks in an infinite number of pickup trucks shooting an infinite number of shotguns at an infinite number of road signs will eventually produce all the world’s great works of literature in Braille. ---
