If you are young and have a band, I have news for you: we do not want to hear you giggle or make fart noises, or arrange samples of giggling and fart noises into a song. You are not a rebel or a genius; you are a four-year-old in the body of a 21-year-old.

You should also be aware that if you had a really cool name for your band, but other members of your band had names they thought were cooler, the compromise name you settled on is lame.

   Sounds like you’re talking to someone specific here.

   My band’s name (one of them) was “Churchboy and the Demons.” Does that suck, or what?

   No, nobody in particular. Except Gaea Spore and Alexander Inmate. Those guys suck.
