Frankly I have no idea why I’m laughing so hard after reading that list...but it makes me feel good anyway, so there!

I play this game, but with names for my imaginary band and our imaginary debut album (Parallel Evolution definitely makes the cut for upbeat indie pop, Shamans As Neurotics sounds like more pretentious whiny art-rock, and Death of a Society is of course bad pop-emo that thinks it’s totally punk rawk!!).

The current frontrunner is an upbeat punk band called “Lunatic Soup,” which is old Australian slang for an alcoholic beverage. Our debut album will probably be called “Never Rest Umbrellas On Escalator Steps” (courtesy of the New York Metropolitan Transit Authority).

dropping in for my bi-weekly visit, laughing all the way as i read the first and second words scrolling down:  ”Evidence of Flammulated Owls, Midwinter Birds” and so forth (the California Death Effects of Nuclear Testing?).  Is there perchance a mention of Woody Allen in the paper Shamans As Neurotics (The Parallel Evolution of Shamans As Neurotics: some observations)?? 

And by the way, we had a real, honest, experiential Spring Day today.  First one of 2008, and though short-lived (rains and snow predicted for Monday), we are absolutely thrilled by the possibilities of more like it.
