i have been creating a list with a friend comprised of - i'm not kidding - band names that refer to food. crazy but true. the only rules are that the band name itself must be actual food - bands that imply food or those that are potential edible are not allowed. (the first eliminated names: Snoop Dggy Dogg and Josie and the Pussycats - cats and dogs are not food. also, Vitamin C - not so much a food...)

much like the song lyric that repeats in your head, this list haunts me. Any help is welcome.

Cranberries
G. Love and Special Sauce
korn?
Pearl Jam
Reel Big Fish
Wheatus
Brandy?

Cool list!

Doh, I see a few of my suggestions already on there--you'd think I'd learn to read being in grad school and all...sigh.

busy06/17/2001

i'm still actively editing the list...so no need to destroy your degree just yet. And Reel Big Fish - nicely done.
