I’ve been sorting my spam today - I get hundreds per day - and noticed that a lot of the randomly generated subject lines are a great source of band names.

Here’s a selection from the past several days (some cherry-picked from a subject line of 3 or 4 words, others sound better transposed):

Egocentric Chaos  
Bindle Gourmet  
Corrugate Convertible  
Belch  
Compulsive Headmaster  
Lux  
Doppler KP  
Auntie Meteor  
Hothead Creche  
Committed Aphasia  
Naked Postgraduate  
Three more inches

Feel free to start your next garage band with any of these names.
