Heh!
"9. Chloroleucon Chacoense"
Rhymes with "Makes no sense", I guess :-P.

Neat idea!

OK, so here\'s mine:

Band: Nanguneri
Album: III Steps Forward (2002 album by the band \"Download\", wtf...!?)
Tracks:
1. List of Ottawa Senator\'s General Managers
2. Claudio Caniggia
3. 1997World Championships in Athletics - Women\'s 4 x 100 metres relay
4. WainWave Music
5. Gulf Coast Pirates
6. By the Light of the Moon
7. Ferguson TE20
8. Daniel Jenifer
9. S.K. Victoria Wanderers F.C.
10. Koshigoe Station

An actual album title for my album title - what are the odds? Plus half of the song titles are sports related, that\'s impossibly difficult. Guess I was unlucky.

Reminds me of how we named my first band. Each band member put two pieces of paper with random words on into a hat. First two words out would be the band name. Our drummer's housemate (as we were there at the time) drew out the first two and we became Funky Widget.

Only after looking through the remaining words did we realise that if we had been unlucky we could have been called Vaginal Prolapse...

My Band: Australian Payments Clearing Association
My Album: Silversword (comics)
Tracks:
1. Helgi Hundingsbane
2. Amy's Kitchen
3. Wilfredo Iraheta
4. Clownstep
5. Masao Yoshida
6. Electronic drum
7. Billy McNeill
8. Koyu Ohara
9. Propaganda of the Spanish American War
10. HMS Athenienne

Probably too many proper names there, but some good stuff. "Propaganda of the Spanish American War" sounds like a good jazz/fusion title. I like the band name and the album name, and Amy's Kitchen and Clownstep might actually get used.

Great idea!

I really like this idea. I'm going to have a hard enough time writing the music so I'm going with this, hence my band name (a village in Zimbabwe).

I don't know what I'm going to do with track eight, "Blackpool Council Election, 2003". I'll think of something.
