This is cool

I want to start a band but I can't come up with a name. Do you have any suggestions for me?

For some reason the first thing that popped into my head was 'Thunderdome' -- although maybe that's because that was the title of my last band's first release.

Other than that, there are a lot of good band names out there. You could look for band names that a band has done a good job of claiming as its own (e.g. Blink-182 / Coheed and Cambria)

There's also the option of having a vague "type" or "situation" name, like a Ska or Britpop band

If you're in a science-themed band I would recommend looking up words in IUPAC. Try coming up with acronyms for elements that form part of a simple chemical compound -- for instance, "amphetamines" = "A.M.P.H.E.T.A.M.I.N.E.S.." You could also adapt the ending of a chemical compound if you find a good name but are lacking an "element": for instance, "H2O" is water, "O2" is air, etc. (You could also try deriving new compound names from established compounds, but I don't have many suggestions in that category.)

Then there's the James Joyce type stuff, of which I'm far from an expert, but it seems like you could pretty easily get a band name out of one of his works, like "The Grotesque" or "A Portrait of the Artist As A Young Man."

There's also "Irrational" which is the name of the math student group I used to belong to (and also the title of one of my favorite songs)

All of the above give you a lot of options without necessarily being too common. (It's much harder to get a common name if you go with a more obscure book title or a long chemical compound name -- unless the band is really successful, people are going to just call the band "Water" rather than taking the time to figure out what that name means.)

(I'm assuming you want a band name in English, if that's not the case let me know and I'll try to think of something)

EDIT: Hah, I just realized I gave you some more band name options and yet didn't take the opportunity to tell you I'm in a band -- well, I'm going to remedy that now. My band is called The Irrationals, and most of our music is sort of "pop math rock" (i.e. kind of like Sarah and the Safeword or Appendix, not necessarily mathy in the sense of "just instrumental music"). I tend to listen to the kind of math rock that's rhythmically more laid back than the kind that's hugely complicated in a technical sense (i.e. either The Decemberists or The Decemberists if The Decemberists were on drugs), but I've been trying to incorporate more of the stuff I'm listening to these days (like Akatsuki Jazz-Trio and/or City Mouse).

Problem: The eponymous appliance of "Frank's 2000 Inch TV" by "Weird Al" Yankovic has a rectangular screen which is 40 meters wide and 30 meters tall. Assuming for the sake of argument that Weird Al is a human being of typical visual acuity, and making reasonable assumptions about the average length of a city block, show whether Al's lyrical assertion that he can "watch The Simpsons from thirty blocks away" is credible.

Bonus: Assuming for simplicity that Frank's TV's "ninety thousand watts of Dolby sound" represents a single speaker of the stated wattage, could Al also hear the dialogue?

One of my classmates and my Math teacher started rap battling in the cafeteria without prompt. I had to beatbox.

do you ever listen to a song so breathtakingly beautiful that you feel sorry to exist on the same planet as it

Do you guys ever realize how absolutely fuckin MIND BLOWING is that something like Epic The Musical exist.

The Odyssey was written around the 8th century BC

Thats over two thousand fuckin years ago, two whole ass millenia.

Imagine writing a fanfic SO GOOD that people two thousand years in the future are still making fan songs and AMVs about it.
