Fun Stuff > BAND
Worst band names.
nuisance:
Haha, record filing hell.
I always thought it would be awesome / truly horrific if record store clerks filed the first ("we're a trio called...") PJ Harvey albums under P and the post-band, "it's just my name now", albums under H.
Rubby:
Tapes n' Tapes sucks.
On a side note: Sudden Infant Dance Syndrome is an awsome band name.

They really should just file solo artists under the band name if their name was IN THE NAME OF THE BAND. Because, you know, there's totally a huge difference in Dave Matthews' sound now that he's gone solo.
Eyeroll.
It wouldn't be so bad if it were just on the shelves, but we have backstock drawers, and the M drawer is 100% farther away than the D drawer. And I have a walking-cast on my foot and it's a pain to bend over. Whine, whine.
But seriously - we don't need seperate places for what is essentially the same artist. Just as the John Mayer Trio isn't filed under J - even though their sound is significantly different from John's solo act - Dave Matthews doesn't need his own little spot on the shelf.

I always found it amusing when I was in high school and ignorant record stores filed Mazzy Star under S for "Star, Mazzy". It doesn't happen so much these days because the band gained a slightly larger profile.

My brother used to - jokingly - call them "Colour Me Bad-d", pointedly pronouncing both the Ds.

In their defense they were originally just "Death From Above" but they couldn't use "DFA" beause DFA records didn't give them permission. Thus the change. I think all the late name changes are really interesting Dinosaur Jr., The English Beat etc.
