Anyone care to contribute? To qualify, the names should be "found art" -- things you overheard or things you found yourself saying in other contexts, not just "good band names I thought of".
Githany's Whip

That's from Darth Bane: Path of Destruction, a novel by Drew Karpyshyn [good read -- highly recommended!]

What is Githany's whip? Read the book to find out...

Ooh! Fun! Let me expand on this a little. There's a game you can play to create album covers using the following algorithm:

Get the band name from the title of a random Wikipedia article.
Get the album title from the last few words of a random quotation (you can find a website for this, I'm sure).
Get the album art from the third picture on Flickr's "Most Interesting" page.
Slap them together, and post.

Here are a few that I've done:









What can you guys come up with?

Hey, I like those albums covers you made. And "The Supreme Canuck" would be good band name.
