I was catching up on some of my favorite science vlogs and found one on SciShow Space talking about “Hot Jupiters”. These are gaseous giant planets that orbit so closely to their sun that their year would be just a few days on Earth. Apparently Hot Jupiters are fairly easy to detect but still not fully understood. All this aside, my first thought was “that would be a good band name”. The Hot Jupiters.
Come across any good band names of your own recently?
Trail Baboon 
I find band names on the Trail regularly. Wootie Hootie, McDondles, Good Pan of Eaton’s, Tante Ingeborg, Sayonara MaMa, Transite Flue Liner, Kiffey’s New Coat, Crayola Poop, 20 Somethong Gitl, Becky Pew’s House.
Katten, Claude and Fletcher sounds like a law firm.

Well done, Linda! My first three cats, especially, should be proud.

The Arctic Blasts might be a good name for a band, along with the Easy Macs.

What about a Minnesota band named “Youbetchas”? Or, the U-Betchas?

I went to YouTube to see if there were any videos by bands with that name. Either spelling. I was a little surprised to find none. It seems like it should have been taken by now.

I got nothing for band names.
But I know a few gas bags.
Large, pompous, gaseous, wind bags who pretty much revolve around themselves.

Last night I was watching Nova about the Dead Sea Scrolls when YA came in and asked what I was watching. I told her and she repeated “Dead Sea Squirrels?” I nominate that.

I can think of two band names inspired by this blog. Anybody remember Renee’s Rising Bollards? And, as users of WordPress, we all have a soft spot in our hearts for the Ectopic Posts.

I don’t always get a chance to read or post in the TB, but when I saw the title, I immediately thought, “sounds like a band name” and I had to open and read it! Fun stuff!

i have always felt i am the most easily replaced member of whatever group i am involved in
people start a band come up with a cool name then get kicked out because they are a problem
all us creatives are a problem, just shut up and play or go start your own damn band
the argyle wampozzles is the name of the band i start today but it may be the drugs working
maybe paisley instead of argyle

Trust me, tim, it would not be easy to replace you here on the Trail.

It would most definitely change the nature of the Trail considerably. Wouldn’t be nearly as much fun.

I’ve mentioned it before, but in the category of fictitious band names, one of my favorites is Emergency Chopsticks.
