Reading Music

HHAH

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
