Homeless Album Titles
Posted by David Hepworth on 18 December 2009 - 9:51am.
It just struck me that "Garage Flowers" ought to be the name of the next Arctic Monkeys album. Any more catchy titles that somebody ought to adopt?

Isn't that the title...
...of a Stone Roses album?
Yeah pretty much...
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Garage-Flower-Stone-Roses/dp/B000088SRJ/ref=sr_1...
It's from the lyrics...
...of 'Tell Me', the b-side of their début single 'So Young'.
(Sorry, I just know...)
Innocent Bystanders
I always thought that Innocent Bystanders would make a good name for and album, or for a band (in the form So-and-so and the Innocent Bystanders). Now I find that at least three other people have had the same idea http://www.find-cd.co.uk/search.aspx?title=innocent+bystanders&type=keyw...
(Garage Flower, it turns out, is the title of a collection of Stone Roses demos http://www.find-cd.co.uk/search.aspx?title=garage+flowers&type=keywords)
Well I didn't know that
So maybe great minds etc etc.
Now That's What I Call
Van Der Graaf Generator !
Umm...
500 Anal C**t Fans Can't Be Wrong.
A phrase of John Peel's comes to mind
In fact in the last couple of days I've been thinking (believe it or not) of starting a thread along similar lines, although it would have been more about band names. Anyway, the phrase was "The Office Party Death Squads" - you can probably guess the seasonal context. There has to be a band with that name.
Three
Bothered By Animals- The next Super Furry Animals album
Possibly-Pet Shop Boys
Ideal Standard- Muse
Ideal Standard…
… is a fantastic name. And a gift for the sleeve (are they still called sleeves?) designer.
Flushed With Successful Name
Our toilet at home is made by Ideal Standard, that's where the idea came from!
Yes…
I'm a big fan of their work myself.
Touching Fabric…
… is the name of the album by my imaginary band Turtlehead. I think it would be somewhat unlistenable.
Bad news...
...there was/is a real band called Turtlehead. I used to know the guitarist. Big in Germany. Allegedly. http://www.falkirkmusicscene.co.uk/turtlehead.html
And Ian Brown really should release an album called 'Monkey Logistics'.
From Ideal Standard to
Industry Standard - would have sat well with New Order and looked good on a Peter Saville sleeve.
