    1) Here’s a fun game. Try to figure out which of Jeff’s band names triggered the dynamic ad at the bottom of his post to advertise stump removal.

    2) Seems to me that a lot of the above band names are great alt names, but that some of them would be better suited for punk, hardcore, or, in one case, cuddlecore.

    3) I’m just saying.

  11. Ha! For a second there, I thought the Coinstar Drunks was an actual band and was included in error on your list– I had heard of the band before but had forgotten that you were the source! In my imagination, the Coinstar Drunks sound a bit like the Butthole Surfers . . .

    Anyway, I think their debut smash should be titled, “Lipstick on My Teeth.”

  12. Lester Bangs says

    Always wanted to start an alt band called Stepmother Teresa.

  13. My class had a fantasy band we called “Hemi and the Rhoids”. In the vain of the Ramones we had Rhoid names. Mine was Rip Rhoid but for the life of me I cant remember any of the others and there were a dozen. Getting old stinks when you cant remember the funny stuff.

    It’s Christmas Eve, and for a decade and more, this blog has contained at least a little holiday cheer. So I’ll post a link I’ve provided occasionally at this time of year, and hope other festive content follows.

    This is just a short sonnet about a businessman who, through the vagaries of the business world, is forced to put a friend out of business just before Christmas. I wish you all a joyous holiday season.
