	shan-tastic | sha-bang!	i like four and five! yay!   Posted by shan-tastic | sha-bang! on Wednesday, August 23, 2006 - 3:04 AM [Reply to this]

	michael	i like #4!   Posted by michael on Wednesday, August 23, 2006 - 3:40 AM [Reply to this]

	Erin Grá Mo Chrói	"Poppycock Popcorn with Amazing Glaze coating from Lincoln Snacks, the makers of Poppycock, Fiddle Faddle, and Screaming Yellow Zonkers!" And that's all I can think about with number 2, unfortunately. I've always been rather partial to Captain Toeine and the Manifestos, personally. Or perhaps Charleston Greenup if I'm feeling more post-mod-ren.   Posted by Erin Grá Mo Chrói on Wednesday, August 23, 2006 - 4:10 AM [Reply to this]

	Daniela	i really like #1... i might steal it!!   Posted by Daniela on Wednesday, August 23, 2006 - 8:38 PM [Reply to this]

	Florentino Ariza	Is #1 a Two Towers reference?  It's my favorite either way.   Posted by Florentino Ariza on Thursday, August 24, 2006 - 12:14 AM [Reply to this]

	Lotte Lotte Reinbold	you know, the word "poppycock" derives from the dutch "pappe kak" meaning "soft excrement". That would make me laugh as a band name.   Posted by Lotte on Thursday, August 24, 2006 - 2:58 PM [Reply to this]

	Abby	Number one sounds like a good name for a prog rock band. Number four is my favorite, though. Would "Mastigophorer" be a good name for a band? I've always thought it's an excellent word.   Posted by Abby on Thursday, August 24, 2006 - 3:34 PM [Reply to this]

	sabrina	How 'bout just the entire subcomment about #5 ;D   Posted by sabrina on Friday, August 25, 2006 - 3:49 AM [Reply to this]

	Michael Tanner / Hurtin' Ernie Michael Tanner	Eh..... I like 4. That one's all right.   Posted by Michael Tanner / Hurtin' Ernie on Saturday, August 26, 2006 - 4:08 PM [Reply to this]

	jess	Poppycock's my favorite. Kudos for using the words forebears and screwdriver in the same blog.   Posted by jess on Saturday, August 26, 2006 - 5:06 PM [Reply to this]

	Evan will not show you how to get down. Evan Field	I think, were I to start a band, those would be some of the names I'd choose from. Very cool ideas.   Posted by Evan will not show you how to get down. on Sunday, August 27, 2006 - 12:52 AM [Reply to this]

	Kelley	i think he should go with jenny lewis and the watson twins just to confuse everyone.   Posted by Kelley on Sunday, August 27, 2006 - 3:36 AM [Reply to this]

	quinn	hey me and Jessica can agree on Poppycock. how about "Bowel Movement"?   Posted by quinn on Sunday, August 27, 2006 - 5:00 PM [Reply to this]

	Natural Born Chiller	Ummmm...since others are making such nice suggestions, I figured I might add a couple...*LOL* How about using the name of an ol' punk band I was a part of in the earlier 80's...Mildew and its Odors. Well, I guess it depends on what genre, huh? Could go punk, could go "new wave". Or how about an old fave that I heard somewhere before along the lines...Mike Hunt's Dishonorable Discharge. Yea, I can imagine it now...lime green reflective lighting glaring down in dissonent pulses along a group dressed in tattered and torn, gray military fatigues partially covered in assorted shades of darkened (hopefully non-flamable) oils. Kind of got a ring to it, huh? *LOL* Anywhoooo...will be looking sooooooooo forward to seeing you all in my old home town Boston this November 4th!!!  Decemberists rule!!! :)     Posted by Natural Born Chiller on Tuesday, August 29, 2006 - 11:11 PM [Reply to this]

	Lechuza	what did Chris Walla want to use the band names for?   Posted by Lechuza on Wednesday, August 30, 2006 - 6:26 PM [Reply to this]

	tarrmachine Eric Tarr	Because that is the worst band name ever. Just ask Barry Manilow.   Posted by tarrmachine on Friday, September 08, 2006 - 5:18 PM [Reply to this]

	Lord Antony	Chris and the Amazing Crotch Lobsters.  Simple, yet elegant.   Posted by Lord Antony on Wednesday, August 30, 2006 - 7:37 PM [Reply to this]

	tarrmachine Eric Tarr	Or Trash Collecting With Boy George.   Posted by tarrmachine on Friday, September 08, 2006 - 5:37 PM [Reply to this]

		i still like The Sunfrogs   Posted by on Friday, September 08, 2006 - 7:07 PM [Reply to this]

	d Dustin Reed	good names, how about "Johnny and the punk rockers". I always wanted to call a band that, but never had the balls. It would be even better if the band (i.e. Chris Walla) had absolutely no songs whatsoever related to punk rock. I have a friend in Portland who's in a band called Pure Country Gold and their music is anything but country.   Posted by d on Friday, September 08, 2006 - 7:13 PM [Reply to this]

	tarrmachine Eric Tarr	Heard of Johnny Thunders? He was punk rock.   Posted by tarrmachine on Friday, September 08, 2006 - 7:42 PM [Reply to this]

	S. James	Backfired Catapult has a nice ring to it :D Otherwise, I'd go with Poppycock or Jonathan Livingston Screwdriver :)   Posted by S. James on Saturday, September 09, 2006 - 4:23 AM [Reply to this]

	Tim	I'm quite fond of number 2, old English swearwords make great conversation. How about "Dearest Roger's secretive salad spinner" My English teacher taught me how to use illiteration, you may have noticed ;)   Posted by Tim on Saturday, September 09, 2006 - 8:31 PM [Reply to this]

	Billy Liar	Sibilance, if it's pronouced 's' at the beginning of each word.   Posted by Billy Liar on Tuesday, September 19, 2006 - 5:24 PM [Reply to this]

	tarrmachine Eric Tarr	I like the name Jesus Yeast. Or Jenny Blewus and the Twatson Twins I also like Conway's Titties   Posted by tarrmachine on Monday, September 11, 2006 - 1:11 PM [Reply to this]

	thomasaurus rex	I like how .5 was at one point a "real band".. but there's no mention of Jenny Lewis And The Watson Twins as being a real band. Oh yeah, they aren't. well done.   Posted by thomasaurus rex on Monday, September 11, 2006 - 9:05 PM [Reply to this]

	susan Susan Cahill	I love Poppycock...and jenny lewis and the watson twins is so origional! how about * WALLA- King of cool * the chosen one * insight * thug punk * walla world * spacer whatever name Chris chooses for his solo project I'm sure it will be unique and quirky just like him.   Posted by susan on Thursday, September 14, 2006 - 3:39 PM [Reply to this]

	Brittney Brittney Wortham	I saw my brightest diamond live with sufjan stevens and she was AMAZING. I am a different person for having seen her with all of her glory. I did buy the cd, and I do enjoy it. So i second that... Everyone buy the new My Brightest Diamond Record!!!!   Posted by Brittney on Saturday, September 23, 2006 - 12:45 AM [Reply to this]
