    Actually whats the convention for bands with punctuation marks at the end of their name? For example Detroit electro band Adult. is always spelt with a period at the end of their name. They are really insistent that its written exactly that way, except when it falls at the end of a sentence where there is only one full stop, never two. They're so adamant about that that it's even on the front page of their website! http://www.adultperiod.com/

    Probably a marketing ploy or something

    Not so much cynical marketing, but definitely an image thing. Adult. have a really specific image and aesthetic, but its all part of the bands appeal.

    PEARL JAM - ALIVE heheh. filter - hey man nice shot (i just have a hunch how im gonna go, ive angered a few heston types in my past!) anything at all sung by luke kelly house of pain jump, jump around whatever cos it always cheers people up for some reason, strange. the theme tune from the original atari 2600 ads in the late eighties is a definte during the commumion.

    re Filter, is it true that that song was actually inspired by a politician that was shot at a press conference and his words could be heard over the mic sayin "hey man nice shot" or am i a big eejit for believing urban folklore?
