the welsh assembly

maybe we should be sending our records to matador records

yeah seriously

that'd be cool if we could get signed by matador records

i wonder in ten years if there'll be a show caled "ali"

you know uh... one thing i just thought of.... like... red hot chili peppers, that name doesnt mean anything. then you take a band like, the dandy warhols, and actually, even though you assume its just a random name, its actually fuckin though out. like dandy? you know what a dandy is?

no

someone who dresses up nice.

hmm

and then warhols because they're uh taking uh after that dude. but its like, every word has a meaning. but then youve bands like led zeppelin who - their name doesnt mean anything. and then ac dc. i mean, and then there's kiss. it's like these bands with like weird names, they give those words meaning through their music. if you pick a name that already has a well established meaning, then like... you'll never really known for your sound. you know what i mean?

uh uh.

well like, people will always say, oh there's that band that came up with that clever name. it's almost like needs to sound intentionally cool.

hmm

like welsh assembly, im not sure if that really sounds all that cool. you know like, maybe in america, but would people like it in europe? especially the welsh. i dunno. im just saying it doesnt sound as cool as kiss. or blink 182. you know what i mean?

yeah

like its doesnt have that... pazazz? it doesnt have that catchyness. and the catchyness comes from the word not having any meaning. do you see what i mean.

mhmm.

do you agree?

yeah. it doesnt stand out.

the welsh assembly sounds like a really polished antique.

yeah haha. good way to describe it.

and it would be cool maybe for like a sigur ros style band. but its still not fresh. we need like a fresh name. you know?

yeah

what about stay fresh iceland?

isnt that what you wanna name your record?

yeah i dunno, but its definately like the best name that we've got

i know. it's awesome.

yeah it's got this like, sparkle to it. you know?

yeah

but we'll see.
