No Name
scum stats: wouldn't you like to know?
I can't say it any better than the countless number of fans already have, so let's get to the juicy part.
I'm giving away a copy of the rubber-stamped "No Name" at random to a comment posted here before midnight central time, August 8th.
Maybe your comment has something to do with names, or no names, or maybe it's just smart or funny or clever. Don't make me have to spell it out, jeez. I mean, if it's truly the best comment ever, maybe I dig out a test pressing of "No Name" for the winner. No pressure.
What is a record without a name? But moreso, what is man without his name? Long ago that’s all we had- your name was your identity, your family was your legacy. You wouldn’t want your named besmirched, as that shame was heavier than the weight of a well maintained reputation. This no longer seems to be the case, as words no longer travel by horse and mouth, but rather through electrical currents and the tips of our fingers. You’d think with the spotlight so bright, people would think twice before speaking, but rather quite it’s the opposite! Instead, we are flooded with the perpetual word vomit from crevices all around the globe, to the point where it’s disgustingly unavoidable. As much good as technology can do, it has also become a poisonous plague to humanity. And we aren’t stopping yet!
But alas, back to the record! Without a name there is no expectations, no suggestions, no implications. It’s just an experience, left to the imagination and wonder of the listener to istill their own meanings and draw their own conclusions about the stories being told. The mystery is so alluring when we live in a world that demands instant gratification. And I must say, this one is quiet effective at drowning out the outside world! Bravo.
When in doubt, leave the name out.
No more, no how!
No chance I think!
If not a name, then a number? Jennifer 8 Lee, 7 of 9, 11?
A perfect example that the worlds greatest records don’t need a name. The the music speak for itself. This is on the same level of greatness as it’s predecessors the White Album and Zeppelin 4. Peace and Love.
name the no name thang, twang…
Names constrain and define us, by having no name you are free to explore and discover who or what you truly can be.
The best bit about being a pirate, isn’t the looting or the cutlasses. It’s not the grog or the scurvy or the scantily clad mermaids. The best bit about being a pirate… Is! HAM NIGHT!!! Yay! Ham Night!
My call sign in Afghanistan was ice cliff 2-1.
Family friend’s kid renamed himself Schott Von Helligan at age 3. The family proceeded to call the kid that name well into his 20’s when we lost touch with them – maybe they still do. In fairness much cooler than his given name (Michael)
