Listened to Post War Years on the tube this morning. Can’t stop calling those mathletic blighters Cold War Kids, though. Why do bands name themselves similar things? Don’t they realise my brain span isn’t as long as their outros?
Did get my thinking about other band conundrums…Cassettes & Microphones and Walkmen; Kings of Convenience and Kings of Leon; Ryan Adams and Bryan Adams (well they are actual names, so I’ll let them off); Handsome Boy Modeling School and Handsome Family; The Kills and The Killers; The Shins and The Stills; The Kills and The Thrills; Wolf Eyes, Wolf Parade and Wolfmother. And forget swine flu, the real concern is the bear pandemic the music world is witnessing at the moment… Grizzly Bear, Minus the Bear, Polar Bear Club, Panda Bear, Bear in Heaven…
Possibly the best animal image ever
Don’t even get me started on Crystal Antlers, Crystal Castles, Crystal Fighters and Crystal Stilts.
What happened to good ol’ fashioned black, eh?
Black Sabbath; Black Lips, Black Rebel Motorcycle Club; Black Keys; Black Angels; Black Mountain; Frank Black and Black Kids, to name but a few.
Much more rock n roll.

Is that a bear riding a horse?!

What is this possibly related posts?
There’s nothing related about them!

He’s steering him by the reigns, too.
Clever baby brown bear.
