My band's name is taken--and so is everything else!

If the Ivory Tower is the brain of the board, and the Transformers discussion is its heart, then General Discussions is the waste disposal pipe. Or kidney. Or something suitably pulpy and soft, like 4 week old bananas.

We were "the Pawnbrokers." That's taken. So is "The Pawnbroker." So is "The Pawns" and "The Brokers."

So is "The Heartstrings" which was another choice, but I figured it would be taken.

So is "The Phonoveins." This is getting ridiculous!

Is this your way of saying "I'm looking for a name for my band, and I want to hear you guys' most outrageous/unassuming suggestions!" ?

For the sake of simplicity, we went with "Pawnbroker."

Yeah yeah.

Anyway, have a listen to my first tries at mixing. I bought the picture from a dirty pictures site.

I dare say if you found the right topics, there's dozens of bandnames that you can steal.

Though their last album was ****.

Don't be so hard on the Right Topics. Or are you speaking of Dozens of Band Names?

I actually thought Crap Title's last album wasn't that bad. It just didn't measure up to the brilliant previous one.

Are you serious? The Brilliant Previous One are complete sell outs! They betrayed long-standing fans like myself who were there from the very beginning with that stupid synth-pop concept album about goats.
