<< Calling Big Kumquat - Big Kumquat come in ::: >>
What? Huh? Oh, hello.
>> You might like to know of the existence of KUMQUAT KIDS (did
you know you had any?) - they've recently released something
called "Forbidden Fruit" on Mosaic. Two UK producers : Steve
O'Sullivan and Julian Phethean. <<
Hmmm, well, I guess I am OK with this. I mean, I s'pose the world supports
both a "Verve" and a "Verve Pipe." (eek)
<< I also just saw a seven inch by a punk band called Kumquat at Open Mind
music in SF (a completely killer store...found the second Chain Reaction
for 3.95 after two minutes of searching). >>
(in Eric Cartman voice, eyes crinkling into x-shaped slits): "Goddammit!"
I guess it's inevitable....Kumquat is just too much of a fun and tempting
name. I should have gone for a non-existent and un-pronouncable name like
"kumtechre" or "kumuanculpt."
Being that those other Kumquat guys are in a punk band, they could most
likely take me in a rumble. Let's just ignore them and hope they go away.
I seem to remember a web site where you could universally "register" a band
name so that nobody else can use it. Does anyone else know what I'm talking
about?
I also seem to remember that they wanted a fee of like $100 for this service.
Seemed pretty suspect.
