My big band idea. (big as in BIG, not trumpets and shit)

I don’t have enough musical talent to fill the little red helmet of a Playmobil fireman. But if I was ever in a band and lets say for the sake of this spiel it was called Feelings, but with a z to give it that retro feel. And lets assume we got to release an album. Then I would call it ‘Feelingz Greatest Hits Volume One’. I might even put a Z instead of S on hits but that decision would have to be a band vote cause it might be a bit over the top. But back to the genius of the Album name. It would be our greatest hits because we wouldn’t have any other songs. And people would assume we were really good and they would be embarrassed they hadn’t heard of a band that had enough hits to warrant a Greatest Hits album, so they would buy it. And the other great thing about this idea is you could avoid ever going through the hassle of going through the whole ‘what should we call our album?’ drama. Volume 1,2,3 and so on. We would never have to stress over the name thing again which would leave us free concentrate on the important part of being in a band. Deciding what artwork to use on the t-shirts. And the quality of the laminates for the backstage passes.

Coolest band name I ever heard about was an Aussie group who played the pub circuit called ‘Free Beer’. As you can imagine with posters outside that read ‘Free Beer Tonight’ they always played to really big crowds. Genius.
