Well, this should make the commute home worth having tonight...

If a band's name's origin isn't on Wikipedia, it's a fair question to ask (and answer) once.

not only is he funny, but his points are very valid. Dude should be a teacher or a guest speaker or some sort of thing.

Be glad you're even getting interviewed man..

Love this. I have never asked these questions in 10 years of hosting.

Brendan is the coolest.

I had a laugh or two reading his post. I can only imagine how maddening it must be to answer the same 10 questions over and over again.

What's wrong with asking a band about what their band name means or originates from?

Because it's usually information readily available on Wikipedia or any fan site. It shows that the interviewer hasn't done his/her research.

Hahah the first couple bands I interviewed, I definitely asked some of these. :/

I'd like to think I've gotten better tho lol.

But aren't interviewers supposed to inquire info for the fans, not for the interviewer..?

He answers this in his post ... feel free to read his answer.

Great read, but fuck me his website is ugly. The font colour and the background make my eyes hurt. It'd take about 1 minute to change that into something less horrible.
