Evil Needle, "Moodolude 03"


I like just about every song this guy has ever made.

I've been watching The Walking Dead on Netflix as of late.  Really good show.  But it's just interesting to me how, after the world has gone to shit from a zombie apocalypse, all of the women seem to find time to get their eyebrows arched.  I don't know, maybe the beauty salon isn't overrun with undead flesh-eaters.  I know it's television, but still.  Be consistent.  The directors thought enough to make them look disheveled, to have their hair not perfectly coiffed, to smudge some dirt on their faces and grime underneath their fingernails.  But oh, it's too much of a stretch to have them grow their eyebrows out, I guess.

Egocentric much?

If you have a band, don't name it after yourself.  That sucks--even if the other band members agree to it.  Even if you have a cool last name like Jon Bon Jovi (originally Bongiovi) or Eddie Van Halen, that doesn't mean you can just ndirectly designate yourself the most important member by naming the entire group after you.  What about the other guys?  At least Gladys Knight sings in a group called "Gladys Knight & the Pips"  and not just "Gladys Knight."

There are more offenders, but these groups come to mind right now:

Dave Matthews Band
Pat Metheny Group
Bon Jovi
Ben Folds Five
The Alan Parsons Project
Van Halen
Sade (before she became a solo artist, the band Sade started out with was called "Sade")

Get over yourself, and re-name the band.  Rock bands have some of the most ridiculous names I've ever heard of and no one cares, so there is no excuse for naming the band after a person if you could name it something like Smashing Pumpkins, Maroon 5, Porno for Pyros, Archers of Loaf, Crispy Ambulance, or Hoobastank (all real band name).  Even good bands sometimes have dumb names (the aforementioned Smashing Pumpkins come to mind, and also The Goo Goo Dolls, Death Cab for Cutie, etc.) There are plenty more stupid band names out there waiting to be claimed.
