There comes a day in the life of every blogger, no matter how large or small the blog may be, when one must sift through the site stats for the blog and pick out the search strings that would make good band names.
This is that day.
The results, which run the gamut from Great Metal Band Names to Great Self-Indulgent Art School Band Names, are below the fold.

Update: Here’s some CD artwork for Kat’s band, as discussed below.
Update 2: Kat’s right. Too much with the Rowling. Second draft:
Zeke vomit?
Thrashcore.
I like Phylum of the Spyders and We Can Imagine Sisyphus Happy the best. And Rubber Cement in the Desert.
“Hot As The Devil”? That’s pretty hot—-or alternatively, nice and cold on a hot day, with a slice of lemon.
white people (edit) whining. I like that one. Because we do, alla time…
I’m conflicted. Some of the names I like best - like “heraclitus river stone” - would, if they actually were bands, almost certainly make music I wouldn’t care to listen to. “White people are whining” accurately describes a lot of bands, but I wouldn’t expect any of them to be honest enough to name themselves that.
“We Can Imagine Sisyphus Happy” is Like A Stream Of Bat’s Piss. Wait - that’s even better!
ha! you think you can surprise me, but—my son couldn’t come over and eat free food last night because he was still moving into his new place, and then—he had tickets to see Alice Cooper. i’m not sure whether to put that under “funny cemetary stories,” or what. but gotta give a guy credit for taking a gig on the road for a few decades. centuries. whatever.
ooh, i bet rubber cement [the best all around adhesive for paper stuff] doesn’t do well in the desert…
Thrashcore.
So has Zeke ever released a song or an album called “Vomit”?
Or do they just have a freakishly devoted fan base?
Um, I call dibs on Hello Kitty Kestrel.
Sort of the opposite of Orange at #7, I Googled (actually used Clusty) “Wellbutrin doesn’t work” and really smutty links are predominate. Just what are people looking for?

Uh, hey…“moon snail penis” and “snail sex”...those sound like they could have been my searches. Sorry.
Awesome! No one’s claimed Let Me Be Your Drag Queen Video yet. Mine!
I deeply, DEEPLY regret having ever used the term “asslicious” on my blog. I would also like to let those trawling the IntarT00bz for information that when they are searching on “Jason Statham” “Amy Smart” “Doggy Style” and “Transporter 2” they really want to be searching on “Jason Statham” “Amy Smart” “Doggy Style” and “Crank.”
Ooooo, sick rabbit!
I’ve updated the post with some CD artwork for Kat’s new band, Phylum of Spyders. Kind of going for a hardcore-speed-emo-glam-metal-deathjazz-lilithfair sort of vibe.
Some of these actually seem to be albums. For example, Two Headed Fictional Characters followed their brilliant debut, “Rubber Cement in the Desert” with the disappointing “Hang up and Drive”, before partially redeeming themselves with the unplugged “Funny Cemetery Stories”.
Thanks, Chris. Though I don’t know if it’s the typeface or what, but it kinda reminds me of Harry Potter. (Hairy Potter?)
Honestly, there is only one there, the rest are mere shadows of—
We can imagine sisyphus happy
(yes, we can)
“whatever shines should be observed” (my fault) is a Self-Indulgent Art School Band Name, I’m guessing.
There are good opportunities for combinations too. One that jumped out at me was:
“Puma Jasmine Truck and the Rusty Sump”
or:
“Hercules Florist and the Kids who Can’t Do Arithmetic”
“Pillbug Hungry and the Worms in Pears”
I’ll stop now.
Damn, Sven beat me to it.
I wanted Puma Jasmine Truck, with the final ballad on the album, a la ‘Purple Rain’ (movie forthcoming starring very small and perfectly formed pocket Adonis type) being “The Love Song of J.”
Guess I’ll have to go with “Hercules Florist and the Canines Howl Guitar.”
