Larsen B Posted April 5, 2006 Report Share Posted April 5, 2006 My point was' date=' there has already been a band called Pretty Things, who were a bunch of scruffy Londoners making a psychedelic garage rock racket in the 60's and 70's. Adding "Dirty" to the start of it is just lazy, although it may have been something to do with the film as well.[/quote']Ah I wasn't aware of this Pretty Things crew. That makes the name way way way worse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larsen B Posted April 5, 2006 Report Share Posted April 5, 2006 That a good name I think' date=' I haven't even heard the band, I just like it because of where they're likely to have taken it from.[/quote']I've got to stop posting so many questions to other people's posts, but where is they're likely to have taken it from? The curiosity is killing me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marc Posted April 5, 2006 Report Share Posted April 5, 2006 Dirty Pretty Things. I'm surprised Phil May and co haven't kicked up a stink at the Carl Barat Benevolent Fund co-opting their name. Good Shoes as well. That name has caused many moments of confusion in the Exodus DJ booth."Got ony Good Shoes' date=' min?""Piss off, I've been playing good tunes all night""Naw, the band, Good Shoes (side of my face well coated in spittle by now)""Ah, right. Hmmm, eurgh, I might do *sotto voce* if I get fed up playing good tunes"[/quote']good shoes are ace tho and they have cool badges with nice shoes on them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
