Wikipedia Band Name Game

Post by Virtual Jarmo »

Stealing this idea from HF. So here's the way this works. You go to www.wikipedia.org, and click English. Then click random article on the left hand side. Do this 12 times and it produces a band name, album name, and 10 tracks.

Band name: Værløse station
Album name: Virtual world

1. FRBC
2. Tiger Hillarp Persson
3. Shaman (disambiguation)
4. Princess Louise Marie of France
5. Keezhamaligai
6. Dhangdev Saiyidan
7. HS postcode area
8. Concubinage
9. Isthmia
10. Floatopia

Damn, that's random. I wish concubinage would have been my band name.

5. Chamunda, Nepal
6. Fenia
7. Girolamo Dalla Casa
8. New Zealand Nation Under-19 Rugby Union Team
9. Philippus of Chollidae
10. Health Information Systems Programme

Ninja Boy II will be my first single, no doubt.

Band name: John Goerzen
Album name: Aaron Hardy

1. Frank Tyson
2. Liberty Theatre
3. Faculty for Information technology, Podgorica
4. 1973 Chilean coup d'état
5. Jemima Condict
6. Cereal germ
7. Patrick Michael Kolla
8. Boophis rhodoscelis
9. Marco d'Oggiono
10. Alberto Ramos

Ok, so my names/titles sound like a folk album, with songs about people and places and the way they used to be. Don't know how #3 fits into that tho.

This sounds like it would read well on Billboard's Hot 200.

Man, Virtual world is the most overrated Værløse station album of the last decade, although I have to admit Concubinage is a pretty slamming track.

For sure. And Mr. Juicy is a much better name for a band than Mr. Big.

Band Name: Azelle Rodney
Album Name: Eleuthera

1. 2001 Korea Super Prix
2. Opok, California
3. List of French number-one hits of 1965
4. Octavio Beras Rojas
5. Superstar (Goodies episode)
6. Amor
7. GTPase
8. Providence Roller Derby
9. Law & Order: Dead on the Money
10. She-Devil

Some of these are pretty lame. I do like the album name and tracks 1, 3, and 8. Tracks 6 and 10 sound like actual song names. I think "Providence Roller Derby" would actually make a really cool band name. Interesting game, anyway.

Providence Roller Derby definitely sounds like some sort of progressive punk group. You may be on to something.

I wouldn't. He was murdered by British cops in 2005.
