Like band names. Where do band names come from? What makes a band say, "Dude, I think we should call ourselves ___________. Do they follow a trend, like the classic "The" before a random second (or third) word(s): The Smiths. The Strokes. The Teenagers. The White Stripes. The Velvet Underground". Do they find inspiration from technology: VHS or Beta, TV on the Radio, or from every day objects: Spoon, Plain White T's, Little Boots. Or places: Phoenix, Of Montreal, Little Ethiopia.
Anyway, I'm pretty sure every band gets it's name from a special something, or someone. But today, as I was driving back home I heard the best band name to ever walk the planet, literally - (some serious drug use may have been involved too) - TOTALLY ENORMOUS EXTINC DINOSAURS! WTF, right? It would have been a total waste if the song that followed this amazing name was actually shitty, but luckily enough, the song was pretty damn good. So, I thought I'd make this friday a Music-Friday and spread the love.
The video, of course is kind of freaky and the singer, a kinda freaky-geek looking kid. To be expected.
