WHAT'S IN A NAME?

Thanks again to all of you who sent in your suggestions for a name for the upcoming Greazy Meal release. We were overwhelmed with your responses, as they provided for some very entertaining reading.

To reciprocate, here are all the possible titles we came up with while working in the studio. (It's sort of a tradition for us to post an empty sheet of paper called "ALBUM TITLES?" in the studio when we begin working on a record. By the end of the sessions you usually have a slew of joke titles, with a smattering of way-too-serious ones, and one or two that fall in between.)

In the end, we took a vote (with non-partisan electoral assistance from Chia Karaoke of FLIPP) and the winner was......GRAVY.

Why Gravy? Well that's another story. In the meantime, for your Summer reading, here are all the names the band came up with for the CD:

• Bottom Heavy
• GURRGLE
• Gravy (Ladle of Love)
• GRIEVANCE
• Come In, Sit Down, Relapse!
• NAY

• 7 Loaded Questions...Any Suggestions?
• URBANIA
• Schmillenium

• Whistle While You Chew
• R U PULLING MY FINGER? (NOTE: How the hell did this make it on to the list? Lack of sleep most likely.)

• Eyes On The Pies!
• Eyes On the Fries!
• Anatomy Of A Demise
