h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

A bit of fun.

That's the name of your band

Go to - http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/h2g2/RandomEditedEntry (again)

That's the name of your album.

I got "The Loving Bonsai" with their album "The Joy of Third Nipples"

Introducing - Safety Matches, with their soon-to-be number one album, 'Perfectionists, & How to Annoy Them'.

You lucky sods.

Mine are evidently dodgy navel-gazers. Probably prog-rock influenced with a touch of something else:

The Omniscience of God and Human Freewill

And the first album?

Alexander: The Tireless Conqueror.

Great. Lets start our career with a weird concept album guys. Sheesh, we're making Spinal Tap look classy and concise!

2legs! Was this your doing?

Broadstairs Pub Crawl and their first album 'Darts' appropriate (even if does sound a bit Macc Lads*)



*yes, I know Broadstairs is nowhere near Macc

Robyn, any ideas for the 'difficult second album'?

Introducing the -
Jack Russell Terriers

and their debut album -
The Needs of Pregnant Women

how about track listing? (using the same methodology?).

track 1. Tourism in Jersey, Channel Islands 1946-2003
track 2. Subcultures of the British Teenage Population
track 3. DB Cooper - Skyjacker and Folk Hero
track 4. Organising a Congratulations Card from the UK Sovereign
track 5. The Swansea Devil
track 6. A Brief Introduction to the Life and Works of John Milton
track 7. Trotter's Curse

So, shall I go and record the album now?

My band, Why The British Drive On The Left, will shortly be releasing their debut album, Echinoderms.

I can't help feeling that we were very, very when we chose the name of the band...

Well, I followed the same rules and apparently our second album will be:

The Extraordinary 1932 Olympic Four-man Bob Champions.

We really dont want to help ourselves, do we?

I think this one will be an exploration into prog rock/reggae/dub fusion.

Perhaps a guest didgeridoo player to replace our bassist (me) who has decided to live in the wild with tapirs for a week. Or something.

Band: The Brass Eye Paedophile Special

Album: A Guide to Mules

There's something very, very wrong about that combination.

Looks like I'll be seeing you on the shelf of One Hit Wonders.

My second album will be 'The Five Pillars of Islam: Imaan - Faith'.

Looks like we're going concept album with a tourist board slant for our follow up:

The Ring of Brodgar, part of The Neolithic Orkney World Heritage Site

the secoond album, vinyl only release runs as follows apparently (this is worse then the band I am actually in!)

1a: Plastic Bags
2a: Ginger Rogers - Actress and Singer
3a: How to calculate the speed of light in your kitchen
4a: Celestial Navigation (ah, that's more like it -RH)

1b: Final Fantasy - The computer game series
2b: Pompeii, Italy
3b: Greyhounds

Bonus Track: Blackpool UK, a short historical visit. (musical piece).

It looks like a short album but they are long tracks, sorry.

Here's your artwork Roy

Beat this

My band is Everton Football Club and the first album is titled "Alan Smithee - Director ... of Sorts"

Why you little!!!!

My, that's a good cover swl. Might have to get it pressed on vinyl just for the gatefold potential.

Our Second album;

Some American Junk Food Classics.

By the left, we're a classy band

mmm... I can see some cheesy (in a bottle of course) cover versions on that album!

You'll all be delighted to know that Why The British Drive On The Left will be following up their highly successful debut, Echinoderms, with a new album, Flutes.

It will be played on guitars.

Can I just say, I think this thread is inspired and fun... Haven't had one like this in a while and i'm thoroughly enjoying it!
