― Lightning Is For Babies (Johnny Fever), Monday, 20 December 2010 05:39 (fifteen years ago)

I'm not sure if I understand this.

Is someone going to be all:

My Bloody Valentine - My Morning Jacket WTF HAHA

Close, but no cigar. The contemporary bit is key - these groups are all releasing records around the same time.

― Captain Ostensible (Scik Mouthy), Monday, 20 December 2010 06:00 (fifteen years ago)

Oh got you.

― I will always think of you, while (quite) fondly, myself (Evan), Monday, 20 December 2010 06:03 (fifteen years ago)

this has been hands down the most annoying 'conversation' about music for the last six years.

Hands down, hands down. Anyway, thanks for the reminder.

Wolf Parade - Wolf Eyes - Wolf Mother
Deerhunter - Deerhoof
The White Stripes - The Black Keys

Saw some other Deer-something band in a copy of Uncut I read while getting new tires put on the car on Saturday. Never heard of them before.

Yes, lots of animal bandnames. Yes, 6 years, hands down. Anyway, isn't it weird, and also spreading beyond the animal thing, and getting more common. Why?

― Captain Ostensible (Scik Mouthy), Monday, 20 December 2010 06:16 (fifteen years ago)

because the internet gives us more access to more bands/band names then ever. its a sign that we have more data to deal with; not that anything interesting is happening with the data

― buzzoff (Whiney G. Weingarten), Monday, 20 December 2010 06:18 (fifteen years ago)

guys FUGAZI OSBOURNE what?!>>!>!>!

― buzzoff (Whiney G. Weingarten), Monday, 20 December 2010 06:20 (fifteen years ago)

the boston band?

― markers, Monday, 20 December 2010 06:21 (fifteen years ago)

just saying re: the Wolf Thing: Wolf Eyes have been punishing for far longer than those two other shit bands have been playing. i wouldn't consider them part of it, tbh.

Maybe, but many of these bands must be aware of each other, they're often similar aesthetically (though clearly not always). Have bands in scenes always had similar names? Copyists like The Monkees aside.

― Captain Ostensible (Scik Mouthy), Monday, 20 December 2010 06:31 (fifteen years ago)

Band of Horses - Pulled Apart By Horses

― Captain Ostensible (Scik Mouthy), Monday, 20 December 2010 06:34 (fifteen years ago)

those two bands are certainly in the same scene

― buzzoff (Whiney G. Weingarten), Monday, 20 December 2010 06:45 (fifteen years ago)

That one example does completely invalidate any other similarities between any other bands with similar names, true, hands down, of course.

Ryan Schreiber must have used that DELOREAN to go back to the 50s like Marty McFly and get all those doo-wop band to have totally chill 2010 names!

In Band Name Snap, would snapping Biffy Clyro and Rilo Kiley be acceptable?

Cannibal Corpse
Deicide
Obituary
