The kids over at Coudal have a nice little “contest” going on over at their site, Booking Bands. It’s a novel (hah!) conceit - mashing up bands names with famous book titles.
Suggestions from 2006 (((withoutsound))) posts:
- Catch-22-Pistepirkko
- In Cold Blood Feathers
But I’d also like to point out that this game can just as easily be played with band names and movie titles…
- They Shoot Band of Horses, Don’t They?
- Rosemary’s Baby Dayliner
- Last Yo La Tengo in Paris
- Toto le Real Heroes
My favorite of yours is Last Yo La Tengo in Paris.
