time for a new thread

Here's another golden oldie from a Halloween show of yesteryear.  I think I've posted it before.  I am ripping off George Michael's clothes.  Which one is this?  Man I loved that pink coat.  Sadly, due to a bang massacre by great clips my bangs are almost that short right now. The 90s are back!

















Oh man, and this one is just too good.  Poison from 2010

Anyhoo, I just wanted to start a new one because the other one is getting too intense with almost 300 comments and subcomment.  I think I should  make a list of all the proposed bands that seem real and then people can comment on that thread to let me know if any of them were jokes.

I don't feel like doing it right now, though. Too much work.  If anyone else wants to do it, please do.

It's that time again!

The Round Table met at Round Table last night.  First the important details: we split a Guinevere's Garden Delight.

There were no representatives from the sort-of young people or the real young people, so you decidedly did not rock the vote.  Matt Maxwell did cast his vote via email.  Sorry, young people, but theme will not be grimey, dubstep, Coachella, or whatever it is you listen to.

There were many comical suggestions such as: strong bands (Danzig, Rollins), Republican bands (Nugent, Ramones, Meatloaf), ugly bands (R.E.M., Meatloaf, again), lefties (guess who suggested this one), deformed (Jerry and that one Ying Yang twin) and crap, I can't remember some of the really funny ones.

Here are the rules via Smiller:

Alright! After a grueling roundtable at Round Table, this year's Halloween theme has been decided on. And it is......ONE WORD!

Meaning any musical thing that contains only one word. You can do bands (Rush, Pavement, Weezer, Kiss), people (Sade, Ke$ha, Jandek), things I'm not sure what they are (Skrillex).

Things that aren't gonna fly: "THE" bands. You can't do The Who. Initials: you can't do R.E.M.

Dumb? maybe but come on, this thing has been going on forever now! We request that no more than 2 people from an existing band be in a Halloween band. Shake it up!
Who knows, maybe a real band will be born out of it. No repeats - kind of. It's getting hard to enforce this rule. Jay says after 10 years bands should be free game again.
Who knows. Ask around and try to do something that hasn't been done. What if a band/person sometimes goes by one name and sometimes not?
If it appears on at least one record cover as one name, it's cool.

Here are the calling-it rules:

Call it below.  Do not call a band unless you really think you will do it.  One month in advance of the show you will be required to re-call it so you better have some band members in mind at that point.  If you do not re-call it, it will be up for grabs again.  

You're welcome.  Let the pageantry begin.
