If you named your band after a song title or something from a book, what would it be?

gmku · 01.04.2008, 01:32 PM

Me? Hmm... 92 in the Shade, after the McGuane novel. Hope it hasn't been taken. Or Modern World after the Modern Lovers song.

The Moon is a Harsh Mistress, or maybe Wintermute.

Please specify your references. For those of us who may not be as cultured.

sorry, heathen.

The Moon..... is my favorite book by Robert Heinlein. I like this name because I like:

Wintermute is an AI antagonist from the Gibson novel Neuromancer.

Confederacy of Dunces from the book.

White Teeth, also from the book.

Savage Clone · 01.04.2008, 08:02 PM

My band's name is a pretty blatant film/film soundtrack reference.
