Ah, I met the movie maker last night. Former member of the band. I was told on good authority that at least part of this movie was shot on a major major acid trip. Didn't ask about that, but I did find that this was an 8mm movie shot on vacation in Paris, Berlin and London.

That's just hair dye being washed out, btw.

Played the song again last night. Damn. Damn. Good.

More band names.

I found the little piece of paper where I wrote the names of the bands on the board at the karaoke place in Tokyo. I lost it again. But apart from Squall, I still remember:

Cosmic Neurose

and

Angel OD

Yeah.



What the Japanese do with English is just so insanely impossible. The following is the name of a shoe shop I saw in Tokyo, but if I sat for 100 million years, I couldn't come up with a name like this. So I have serious dibs on this for the name of a band one day. If I ever get trendy again.

"Angel OD gets my vote for the most chaotic band in tokyo"

Oh, yeah.

I did warn you, when you started this thread.

I long ago posted some band names.

One was my good friend Tania, who has an extensive line in ex-boyfriends who are musicians. She said one day she'll get them all in a band together, it'll be called

Surviving Tania

.. if they did survive, of course.

At her farewell party in Jo'burg she had a band call

The He-Shes

who were great fun. They had a drummer called Og, who later joined Jim Neversink. Jim and I were a duo called

We're Friends Of Hilary's

... it's a long story, you can find it back there, but we are, we are.

This is me and Jim and Og at the Radium Beer Hall. I am the man looking very worried on the harp, this is because I am trying to see what the hell Jim is playing on his lap steel guitar. (I was going to post this in the Axe thread, but, you know, when you're on a roll...) Jim's homemade axe has a sticker on it, it says "How Is My Drinking". Very good, sir.



That is Loandi on the bass, if you want to mess with her, her boyfriend plays in a band called

The Slashdogs



... that's him with the tats. I have to say, as a longstanding vegetarian, that I cannot absolutely guarantee that no animals were harmed in the making of this movie.

His knuckles say "Prime The Charge" and "Flick The Switch".

I haven't heard them, they're described as "Chuck Berry on trucker speed", but I did hear Cortina Whiplash the other day. They are an all-girl band who do a version of Patti Smith's Rock and Roll Nigger of which I am quite, quite sure Patti would approve, in every way.

And for a finale, Jim sometimes has a viola player join in, Brendan, used to play in a band called

Urban Creep

and then got into physics, with a band called

Ohm

... I told him my favourite viola joke, he hadn't heard it. You can find it back there too.

It's toadally mad here, folks. Please forgive. I sometimes think the only thing that keeps me going is band names.
