Lead Electric Triangle
May 20th, 2007General
My inbox knows how to rock.
For a while there I was getting inundated with a full-on torrent of those crazy “un-training” spams, marked not only by their oddball content (“Hey, check it! More James Joyce quotes!”) but also by those random non sequitur subject lines (“Octopi Either? Didn’t we see them at the Bowery Ballroom last year?”). The longer it went on the more it read like Monty Python’s “Rock Notes” sketch. So I started saving the choicest gems, in the hope of one day pointing some aspiring indie band towards a spam-fueled new moniker.
I give you the winners, in no particular order:
- Romeo Foot
- Arable Honeycomb
- Mandarin Fulcrum
- Indescribable Refinery
- Horsepower Charisma
- Marathon Kicks
- Tongs Ding-Dong
- Octopi Either
- Incalculable Lightweight
- Next Best Maverick
- Pincushion Copier
- Crackadobe Ghost
- Montreal Gunman
- Strep Throat Taper
- Charcoal Calculator
- Gland Theological
- Melon Go Lightly
- Luminary Barefoot
- Monty Delarosa
- High-Minded Pivot
- Godforsaken Snobbery
- Immaterial Air Force
- Sundown Excommunication
- Brittany Murphy’s Disorder Denial

When we can’t cut and paste from newspapers, when we’ve forgotten the importance of glue sticks, there’s nothing wrong with the ever present impulse with taking the random drink from the information super fire hydrant. A human creation, but becoming so large and at the hands of so many monkies the typewriter will write more novels then any Steinbeck.

Nicely put.

I can only assume you’ve seen the Spamland animated shorts?
