haha...

"Noise From The Underground"

Nah...

I like the idea of a 1 word type thing (like pitchfork).

HaydenAsche 09.22.2006 11:48 PM

I'm already far too pretentious and indie to be part of something with a name like 'notes from the underground'. It would be mad amounts of overkill.

Anyways, I don't care what the name is. Call it something lame and ironic.

Alex's Trip 09.22.2006 11:55 PM

"Irony isn't indie! It isn't even post-punk, or...or shoe-gaze!"

HaydenAsche 09.23.2006 12:00 AM

Exactly. I can't be any indier. It's fucking impossible. Name it something un-indie.

Alex's Trip 09.23.2006 12:29 AM

Let's call it Rather Ripped!

static-harmony 09.23.2006 12:30 AM

It should be name The Rolling Planet, as a spoof to The Rolling Stone.

haha, that's a little ambiguous. Do you mean "Inhuman" or "Avante-Cure"? I like Avante-Cure myself, that's what I*think* you were reffering to. It spoofs "avante core" and makes it seem like it's telling a solution to music that's ahead of it's time, the solution being elaborate articles.

Thanks again for the suggestions! I could just imagine the coolest logo for "septic tank", but I'd want to change the interface to something darker, and dirtier looking. I can see it matching well with something to do with punk or hip hop.

"avante-cure" sucks, sounds like a the cure fansite.

I have to agree with you it does sound like a cure fan site.

Danny Himself 09.23.2006 12:52 PM

I liked Schizo's 'Hyperstation' name. Or go for something completely childish, such as Fondondo or Shagmaster.

Inhuman 09.23.2006 01:43 PM

Yes, it would be nice to get a name based off sonic youth!

As for mine, I would reccommend "Avante-Garden", but it sounds like a Furry fandom site.

nomadicfollower 09.23.2006 01:52 PM

Hyperstation, so far, is the best name.
Surely we can do better. (says I who contributes nothing but criticism)

Alex's Trip 09.23.2006 01:57 PM

Hyperstation sounds like a SY fan site...

"Ground Control"?

(I was listening to Space Oddity, but it doesn't really sound too much like a David Bowie fan site)

it makes me think of UFO's though. Well lets see what we have here

Catholic Block
Cotton Crown
Disconnection Reviews?
Free City Rhymes
Rain on Tin
Saucer Like Reviews? We could possibly affiliate it with the saucerlike site.
Skip Tracer
Star Power

I don't know about all of you, but Free City Rhymes sounds fucking ace.

basically dont name it after anything, dont name it after a book, dont name it after a song, dont make sneak refrences with the name, dont make it a play on words.

needless to say i am a fan of "septic tank", "sewer leak", "gutter sluts", "ninja turtles" and anything nifty like that.

specially "septic tank".

Alex's Trip 09.23.2006 02:13 PM

Again, with the SY fan site thing, but FCR is the best one up there...

How about Ground Water? It's got that underGROUND thing going, plus it really doesn't have anything to do with anything which I think is good.

HaydenAsche 09.23.2006 02:13 PM

Trying to sound as indie as possible I like the slogan:

"We're down til we're underground."

Granted, it's stolen from a GUTG album title.

HaydenAsche 09.23.2006 02:14 PM

How about HypeMachine?

Alex's Trip 09.23.2006 10:51 PM

I still stand by "Ground Water", as of now. What do you guys think?

HaydenAsche 09.23.2006 11:39 PM

It's a cool name.
