Join the Club!

Still subscribed to this old course blog? Nice.

So, I'm trying to start up a school club -- the "Owning Our Ignorance" club -- devoted to fun and logic, in that order. I've put up a blog for it over here.

Check it out. Please join if you're interested.

Band Names, Part Deux

For some strange reason, we received a bunch of band name suggestions yesterday. I say we start voting for the ones we like. Here they are, along with my two cents on each one:

• Logical By Design (suggested by Jim) sounds like a company that does stuff I don't understand. "Logical By Design is an innovative information technology company dedicated to providing custom management solutions in an ever-changing business climate."
• Daffyductive (suggested by Jim) is pretty weak. I was disappointed with that pun as soon as I wrote it.
• Rojikku Rokkuzu (suggested by Abi) has a poetic ring to it. Maybe we'll play Japanese synth pop?
• Unsound Logic (suggested by Abi) is almost contradictory. I like the idea of a contradiction as a band name.
• The Narcoleptic Water Buffalo (suggested by Sue) would be a cool name for a Buffalo Springfield tribute band.

Go to the comments to vote for your favorite or suggest your own band names.

The Source of Satan's Fingers

Some of you did some quality googling to discover that "Satan's Fingers" and "The Hospital Bombers" are band names referenced in a Mountain Goats song called "The Best Ever Death Metal Band in Denton." Here's the song:

BONUS! Here is a video of the Mountain Goats performing the song in Philly two weeks ago:


I was so totally at this concert. Attentive listeners will notice that he changes the name of one of the bands in this video.

Satan's Fingers? The Hospital Bombers?

OK, before we start rocking all night, perhaps we should come up with a name for our logic band. What's a good name for us? Abi & the Naughty Structures?

Hmmm... hopefully, you can come up with better names than that. Post some names in the comments to this post.

(Extra love to anyone who knows what the title of this post refers to.)
