I made my way over to the local record shop the other day and found a flyer for a show that I recently went to. Stylus' very own Joe Panzner and Mike Shiflet performed together as a group at the event and it was partially sponsored by Mike's self-owned record label, Gameboy Records < end promotion>.< begin slagging> I was dismayed, however, to see that the group had made up a name for themselves without consulting me seriously and that it was, in fact, one of the worst bandnames that I have ever seen: Scenic Railroads. I mean seriously guys, could you get any more emo?< end slagging>

Thus, in the comments for this post, we begin the first annual "Name A Band In Which A Stylus Writer Is Involved In Because The One That They Picked Was Not Very Good At All Contest".

The winner of the contest will be awarded:

a) the knowledge that they have named the hottest up and coming laptop improv duo in ohio
b) an artist profile done by yours truly to be featured on the stylus main page (even if your only artistic moments consist of naming bands)

Yes, Joe and Mike have not been informed of this.
