Band Names

This article informs how many bands or artists when picking their name they have used almost the same name. They say that the two most common words are “black” and “DJ.” Also there have been other names that have been used are white, John, Michael, Paul, and Jesse. Bob Boilen, Stephen Thompson from NPR Music, and Robin Hilton have made a tag cloud with the names that are used more often, but the statistics are only from the bands that are going to play in the SXSW this year. If you would like to make your own band name you can check the article where there are some links that could help you out.

I had never realized how often many names get repeated. I had never thought about that. I don’t think that many people have noticed that before because you mostly you just heard the name of an artist or of a band, but really don’t pay much attention to it. It is amazing how these people that looked over the names and did the little statistics. It is pretty cool that they took their time to realize this. Probably people will now pay more attention to names of artists or of bands now that this article is posted on a blog where many people might visit often.
