It's a little bit funny...

I want a band. No, I need a band.
This last week I've been getting into recording myself singing various songs to post in a thread on U-O where we all just have fun singing along to things and giving generally positive feedback to each other. I became addicted, then I made a recording of me performing MONOKROME DAYZ, a song I wrote for Darksyde (Remember the novel? Sometimes I wonder if I even do!). Then I remembered how I used to write songs all the time. This morning, in a very boring lecture about feeding in marine mammals, I wrote another song (currently without melody) and I realised that I could really enjoy being a singer/songwriter, if I had a band.
What would I call my band? I've been thinking about this entirely hypothetical question for most of the day and I have no idea. I could be shamelessly self-promoting (again) and name it after a character I'd written or some amusing plot point, but that would be pretentious injokeyness of the worst kind. I'd often thought the Empty Vs would be a good name as well, but not for the kind of music I have in mind. Anyway I'll get back to you on this (feel free to post any suggestions you have in the comments).
In related news a friend of mine (I think I can call him that) from Sweden has apparently made a guitar arrangement for the aforementioned MONOKROME DAYZ, so that's cool. He hasn't let me hear it yet, but here's hoping.
What else has happened today? I played more Dragon Quest, I arranged what I was going to do for a project on bioluminesence and I found out that I'm working tomorrow. Is it any wonder I resort to recording my voice?
