Fun idea! I have so many song title ideas floating around - one day I still hope to be able to write music. Or else maybe I’ll just copy Mingering Mike. Band name: Mesvres Album title: “It Used to Be.” [The cover](http://www.flickr.com/photos/alfiere/2980538343/). Mesvres (a region in France) is a pretty decent modern band name, it sounds kind of math rock-y, and I think the cover image and that name go well together. “It Used to Be” is an exceptionally lame album title, however. ---

Yes, at least Firefox and Opera have got a way to “nuke” every image named ‘blank.gif’ forever and ever. What’s your browser? Believe me, I know about computers.

I love this thread. This isn’t entirely random, like not first time random (I’ve been my own little world of fake bands), but this one just came up for me and I had to share.

My thrash band will rule with a green iron fist! The quote was: “Remove every barrier you can to fandom.

Fatos Bećiraj _They answer our prayers_ (for some reason this reminds me of GYBE’s _Raise your skinny fists like antennas to heaven_) [http://www.flickr.com/photos/yvesmoreaux/3002563396/](http://www.flickr.com/photos/yvesmoreaux/3002563396/) Really no connection between name, title and cover - perhaps that’s a point in itself. I do like the ones that seem “real” or plausible at least, like **Hocky Monkeys** for instance. ---
