Booking Bands
While tossing back a couple lemonades on Friday night with some friends, one told us of a recent corporate event where the head honcho held a Q&A, but wouldn't let anyone even begin to ask question unless they booked a band. He went on to explain that it was simply a semantic exercise by which you combine the name of a famous book with a band. Over several more lemonades, we came up with a ton. Lo and behold, the fad has been going around the internet recently. Without looking at those sites very carefully, here are some of the best we could come up with:
The Heart of The Darkness
The Picture of Dorian Grayarea
Far from the Madding Crowded House
All Quiet on Front 242
Moby Dick Dale and the Del-Tones
The Name of the Guns N Roses
Count Basie of Monte Cristo
The Cask of Amon Tobin
The Call of the Wyld Stallyns (yeah, I know they're not real, sue me)
The Scarlet Lettermen
The Old Man and the Sea and Cake
Rammer Jammer MC Hammer
The Audacity of Hope Conspiracy
The Lionel, The Richie, and the Wardrobe
Alice in Stevie Wonderland
And there are yet more options!
Booking Video Games:
Catcher in the Rygar
Pac Man of La Mancha
The Brothers Super Karamazov
Banding Films:
Broken Social Scenes from a Marriage
There Will Be My Bloody Valentine
I could go on all day, but I'm looking for some group participation here. Who's got some good ones?
