Create a band with Wikipedia

[trevor]

K so I must admit I stole this from the atease message boards, but it's pretty funny. The rules:

 

1) Go on wikipedia.

2) Click Random Page - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Random The title of this article is your band name.

3) Click Random Page again. This is your album name.

4) Click 12 more times. These articles are the CD's tracks.

 

I've found it's a lot more fun if you exclude place names and names of people. This is my latest:

 

Thalys--Portman Building Society

1) vtiger CRM

2) Chinese language

3) Ever Fallen in Love?

4) Soft serve

5) Dobie (disambiguation)

6) Novosibirsk Air Enterprise

7) List of state leaders in 1651

8) 5 Alive!

9) Stanley-Whitman House

10) Black Venus

11) Forest Park

12) A Night in Amsterdam

 

Indie-rock with some electronic leanings. The album drags a bit towards the end...

[cryptique]

OK, I gave it a try. I observed the same rule about omitting place and person names (mostly).

6. IEEE Simon Ramo Medal

7. Babel

8. Communist Labor Party

9. Blatta

10. Moro-Naba

11. Somaliland shilling

12. Humerus

 

The Fixer takes its name from a comic book series in Bosnia, and in fact is a protest-folk-punk band out of Bosnia. They hate the American culture enough to name their album after a Mariah Carey song and sing about the Communist Party. They also are infatuated with insects, naming two tracks after various insectkind. They also have a fetish for the name Alice. But if you bring it up they will take you out with their IEEE Simon Ramo Medal-equipped Fascist-Killing Machine. It takes one Somaliland shilling to activate the machine though, so be sure to catch them on a broke day.

[Mrs. Peel]

It's amazing how well these work. I'd actually buy a few of them.

[quarter23cd]

Ha! From reading the title, I thought you were suggesting people create pages for fake bands on Wikipedia and my thought was "Great, just what we need. More disinformation on that site!" This sounds more benign, so I'll give it a go.

 

1894 in Poetry - Pique Assiette

 

1. Siphuncle

2. Kaala-Gomen

3. Sweet Savage

4. Propanedithiol

5. Labelle County, Quebec

6. Golden Knights

7. Yser

8. F-2 (psychedelic)

9. Llanilar

10. 9th World Science Fiction Convention

11. Dual Presidency Theory

12. Clit River

 

They are pretty clearly shooting for some snooty, highbrow literary art-rock stuff here with an awkward name like 1984 in Poetry--trying a little to hard to strike a quirky hipster pose. But the band's inner highschool-geek creeps out throughout the album, with some angular math-rock influences seeping into a few science-related song titles. And if you can wade through the academic posturing of the first 11 tracks, the "hidden" final track of the album is a shockingly crude 23 minute epic of potty humor called "Clit River". The less said about that one the better.
