The Josh Holliday Experiment: Bigfoot, Rocketships and Satan's Aaanus

Posted by Josh Holliday on Aug 31, 2010

Good day! I've spent a ton of time lately browsing the CBC Radio 3 website. There are all kinds of fun features. A great resource for Canadian musicians, and fans of Canadian music. The voyeur in me likes the what people are listening to RIGHT NOW. It's also cool to see who different artists favourite. I think I'm in love with CBCradio3.com, although I'm not ready to make love to the site...yet. With over 23,000 artists listed, there's no lack of creative band names. What's the best band name on the site? What ones make you smile? It could be just a funny visual, or a clever play on words, or just plain bizarre. Let's hear it. Also, if you were starting a new band (assuming you're not already in one) what would you call it?

Want to be social? I'm on Twitter, Facebook, and would be happy to get some e-mail.

    band name

    band name- ghost eater!  I don't know, it was the first one that sprung to mind.  kinda like packman but could also be a literary allusion.  yeah, Ghost Eater. 

    now to go to that online database of all the band names taken...

    If I had a band it would be named "daa1982 and the tb3's"

    We've already decided that daa, tb3 and I are going to start a folk band called Derek, John and Steph. Kinda like Peter, Paul and Mary but better... that's still happening right guys?

    Why not just call the show "The Josh HOLLIDAY" since every day with you on the air is like a care free HOLIDAY?

    @ Steph

    John has to kick his crack habit and I have to find a new prosthetic arm before that'll happen.

    We're really showing Canada how awesome Londoners are eh! I mean, I should probably sort out this twitch I acquired after swimming in the Thames before anything happens also..

    @BaldBrain

    Care free? But what about the super-serious stuff we talk about? Oh right.  If it was a weekend show, it could be The Holliday Weekend.

    @ Steph n' Derek

    Derek - you need a prosthetic banjo in stead of an arm - two birds, one stone.

    Steph - of course we're still a band. We just need to learn our instruments.

     

    Best Band Name: Peter Mansbridge and the CBC's.

    I liked what Colbert did, some short time ago

    He "stopped" doing his show, on-camera, to update his Facebook status.

    Then, he Tweeted that he'd just updated his Facebook page.

    Then "came back onto the show", saying "there, good thing done", or something.

    It was brought up during Grant's Summer Beverage show... and I have yet to try it! I need to though... I wonder if I can find it here anywhere. On tap would be awesome but that's not going to happen. London pubs are bad for having good beer on tap due to the fact that the population is 95% cheap students.

  90. Benoit from Ottawa
    90

    Hmmm

    Précision utile. In 76, I said "(I usually have it on tap)." THAT means when I drink it, not that I have it on tap at home. More's the pity...

    @darbarspecial [34]

    It was a lot of fun, when it was over.  I've only performed once with a band on stage once since then, and I've done a lot of musical theater performance, and my stage fright is a horrible feeling.  After the first few songs or scenes in a show, I'm OK, but nothing feels as good as when the show is finally OVER!

    every time i listen to the R330 podcast, and Craig laughs at the Jinglematic's "Eight", i imagine "and the angry eight" would make a great band name.

    Like:  Pedro and Angry Eight.

    Yes Josh (131)

    but penis* is actually legal. Try cock or prick or piss. They get blocked.

    Funny (as I've posted before), me, I find 'urinate' and 'urine' more offensive than 'piss'. But those are legal, manner of speaking.

    Not at all involved in the blog this morning but had to soundoff on Bigfoot (the mythical Creature, not the band).  Unsolved Mysteries totally freaked me out with their Bigfoot episode when i was like 6.  I still have stupid nightmare about that fu#@!*$...

    Salmon sandwich.

    Zombies

    I plan to get turned as quickly as possible when the invasion begins.  I've always wanted to be a zombie.  I want to eat businessmen and women.

    It was about time too.

    While I was out cycling before THE BIG HEAT* set in, I bought some smoked salmon -- no, no that kind, it's a piece of fillet with skin, spiced and smoked. I think I have some tabouleh hanging around, maybe a carrot too.

    Oooh. Basia! Must look into and mark my calendar. It's my birthday on the 13th so there will be dinner with my folks plus I throw a bridal shower that Sat. and will want to go to movies of course. I better take a day or two off. Ha.
