The always unstable WiFi in my office has become truly abysmal, so to reduce my stress, I have moved my laptop to the dining room, closer to the router. The connection is solid, but the keyboard is now uncomfortably high, so my words will be few. Looking forward to a more permanent solution (a really long ethernet cable). Meanwhile, band names always make me smile!

 If you are able, please buy these bands’ music and merch. And … hit the follow button at the lower right to never miss a post.

A Flawed Contraption
An overly complicated device that does something, even if a different something than expected. (I selected this one before finding out that I know the people involved. I plan to attend this show tonight.)

Great Comet
I’m always on the lookout for space-themed band names, so this was a welcome find. Any comet that can be visible without hitting Earth is pretty great.

GROSST
Loud and emphatic expression of superlative disgust.

Karmic Unrest
When the street protest is completely deserved.

waltzerr
When only one dance partner manages to stay in triple meter.

Two last things before you go:

1. I run The Rage Brigade, a Facebook group for conversation about fantasy, science fiction, superheroes, and music (and the intersections thereof). If that sounds like fun, come join us here.
2. I share highlights from this blog in my quarterly author newsletter, The Storypunk Report, as well as news of what I’m writing and reading, upcoming events, and other goodies, including “Wizard in the Mosh Pit,” an exclusive short story just for subscribers.
