  1. The only time I was propositioned after a gig, I had to politely decline the offer in question saying, "I'd love to, but I don't think my wife would be too happy about it"
  2. Lozz, this design is on a black Gildan 5000 shirt. If you want to double check the size, there's also a link to a pop-up size guide on the page below the size selection drop-down.
  3. Something similar is available on my online apparel shop, bassthing.uk https://bassthing.uk/shop/tshirts/bass-benefits-t-shirt/
  4. Feet Like Fins — Cocteau twins
  5. I have just uploaded a new version of the band name generator. This has probably around 10× the number of words as the first version. Due to the size of word list, rather than doing everything using javascript in the browser, this new version does all the clever stuff on the server in PHP. This means it is less likely to crash the browser. There is still some work to do before it is officially launched— notably I need to go through the word lists and remove a lot of the crappy/obscure/archaic words. Currently I'd say the app is a fair bit less useful than the previous version due to there currently being a lot of crappy words in the source lists, but once I have edited the lists down, it should improve.
  6. Does something like this come with a case, and if so, how the hell would you carry it? Its a bit of silliness like Elwood's multi-stringed beast in ZZ Top.
  7. It's a fake of a fake.
  8. It appears to be aimed at the kind of people who think smoking would make them look cool.* *it doesn't — it would make them look like they stink.
  9. Is the talent switch available separately, and is there a bass version?
  10. Quartz Going On — Marvin Gaye
  11. Only A Prawn In Their Game — Bob Dylan
  12. Just googled it — There's at least one band with that name
  13. I was at the event last night — you can see the top of my orange/yellow bandana at the far left of the pic, it was a very enjoyable way to spend an evening. I've never played a sandberg, but after hearing Holger I will definitely check one out. It was particularly refreshing to hear Yolanda speak about her approach when she played sessions where she expected there to be a bass part already written which she then interpreted. i.e. if you write an original bass part, you should get a co-credit and royalties.
  14. Good tip, but I'm lazy so I'd check out the colour names at https://www.valsparpaint.co.uk/paint-colours/ Anaemic Moon, Scrubbed Cauliflower, Poached Smoke, Snowman's Bone
  15. I used to know a band called Party Seven. There weren't seven people in the band though.
  16. I’ve just seen the same bass in a couple of shops in Denmark Street for over £2k. If I didn't already have an identical one and wasn’t running out of storage space, I’d be all over this. GLWTS!
  17. I’ll be sure not to include any French bus stops in my generator webapp.
  18. I've made an online list editing app today, which will make it very easy to delete words from my long word lists, so as long as I have a signal I can easily edit the lists whilst waiting for a train, sitting on the train or otherwise with time on my hands. Not sure when the longer lists will be ready to be incorporated into the name generator, but I might add an option, so it can be set to use the current standard word lists or the much longer expanded lists
  19. My old band had a punter looking for the fifth band member while we were packing up after a gig, so she could have a complete set of autographs on a gig poster. All four of us in the band 'obviously 5 believers' had already signed it, and she had watched the whole gig with a drummer, a bass player and two guitarists. We told her the elusive fifth member was in the bog.
  20. Nah! The band name is/was "Amber Gambler"
  21. June Bugs (Bunny) — The Handsome Family
  22. There are about 3000 words in total in the app as it is currently. I now have lists of over 11,000 single syllable words and 33,000 two syllable words (from https://en.wiktionary.org), but it will be necessary to remove a lot of crud from both lists for them to be useful. It may take a while to get these larger lists in a usable state if I do proceed with them.
  23. I have a short list of possible names generated from my page. I'm probably going to expand the word list further, although if I add a large number of words I might need to use a different method to select them using separate files for the word lists.
  24. I made a Band Name Generator: https://names.bandrocks.co.uk/
