Oh and we have a name!
After long arduous hours of trying to cook up a new name, we finally agreed on one! We are no longer known as Kiev but...
Kievan Rus
(Pronounced as 'Key-evan Ruse')
How we agreed on a name...no one knows. 'Where is Kievan Rus' you ask? Well if your looking on a map most likely you'll never find it! (Tricky-tricky) Kievan Rus was a medieval state of the Eastern Slavs back in the 10th to 13th century; I'll have you know. But enough of that history mumble jumble, all we care about is the music!
Speaking of music, I have a new song this week!
The Pernice Brothers- Baby in two
A wonderful song and I advise you to download it. It's super catchy and down right awesome. Catch it here:
http://www.pernicebrothers.comClick on Media and then on the album 'Yours mine and ours.' Ta da. Instant pleasure. Well I must watch the rest of 'I love the 90's Part Deux.' A show so addictive it should be illegal.
Names! We are in dire need of a new name! What's wrong with Kiev you ask?! Nothing, asides from the fact another band on the West Coast already flagged it. So with that said we are looking for suggestions all over the place. Were searching from under rocks to seas afar and we've come up with only a few. The Few which include:
-Velvet Gang
-Pique
-The Slips
-The Rip Outs
-Red City
-Ripped
-Veux
-Vex
-Faux
-The Fix
And my personal fave The Toni Rebels.
Meh, I give up. I can't come up with a thing. Finding a new name is hard. Finding a new name is as hard as getting guacamole out of polyester pants. Can you think of anything more difficult? I think not! My head is too startled to go on with this topic, so I will switch it!
This is what I've been giving a listen to lately. Take some time out of that work day of yours and go to that bathroom, get in front of that mirror and be the rock star you've always wanted to be. To help you acquire that fine rockstar within I advise you to dance to the following:
The Faint- I Disappear
Kasabian- Club foot
Razorlight- Golden touch
Fugazi- No Surprise
The Libertines- Vertigo
Le Tigre- TKO
The Bravery- Unconditional
Q and not U- Wonderful people
Those are some fine songs indeed and I expect to have many people dancing in their undies by the end of the week.
If you have any suggestions regarding a new name, drop a line! We are open and willing to almost anything, so give it a try! Okay I can’t write anymore because it takes time away from me dancing in front of the mirror. I've got important business to attend to.
Do you know the way to San Jose?
Can I say I love Burt Bacharach? Is that a crime? Well if it is, guilty as charged, people. Guilty.
