Matthew Pate - can you tell me why your band and mine are on each other’s similar artists on Last FM??? I do like your band.

Really enjoyed the article Sam. You are quite witty. Are you sure you’r a poet?

I currently play guitar/write for a band called “Dead People Aren’t Planets” and, yet, I entirely agree with this post.

I have never been able to take fIREHOUSE seriously either.

you know what i am sick of? band names that incorporate animals. and that even goes for the mountain goats, although it doesn’t affect my love for their music.

out of curiousity, what bands do you think have totally awesome names?

really good post, sam.

For the record, our own Bryson wholeheartedly agrees with #5. Inside jokes turn into blank stares when you actually try to market the music. Great post.
