Explain your User Name

[bedbug]

Carl told him it was the worst name he had ever heard.

And then some dude gets up from the bar and runs out of Moe's crying, and Barney's like "oh, Joey Joe Jo Jo." Classic!

[Disasteradio]

- saw it in a book on radio art / design called "Made In Japan" when I was 14 or 15, it's certainly stuck. heh

[Mr PC]

My initials are P. C., I use a Mac, I don't like political correctness, and of course there is the Coletrane number "Mr. PC" named for the bass legend. I play the bass, but regret to have very little in common in that sense with Mr. Chambers.

Mr. PC

[segaface]

It's from a song by Gal's Panic.



Man, those were the days.

[theslumlord]

Back in the early 90's i was in this band, and we used to rent out small warehouses and throw shows with other bands. We wanted to use a monkier (to make it look like we weren't a bunch of slackers throwing our own shows). A couple of names were thrown around: eg. whipcracker, slavedriver. In any case, we went with a "Slumlord Productions" title. It's stuck with me ever since. Still use it on email, and as the name of my studio.

[mjau]

mjau = "meow" in Swedish. My wife is Swedish, and she wrote that word one day in an email. I thought, "perfect name to release music under", so now everything I write is by mjau. Just as there's never enough space echo, there is never enough of the silent J in modern language.

My real name is bluepxl, but obviously that's not cool enough for Wing, so I don't use that.

[Electricide]

Well, it's an anagram.

c-Chris
g-Garges
a-All
r-Ready
g-Gets
e-Everybody's
s-Shit

Chris Garges
Charlotte, NC

acronym, right?

I used to be cman548, which was based on my real name, but sounded like man juice.

At the time my coworker was reading a book about Edison and the Electric chair, and all the terms they threw out before the term electrocution was deemed for death by electic current.
Blitzentod, electrostrike, electrocide (death from electricity) and electricide (death of electricity). I'm not great with music or instruments, I figure it sounds like I'm killing it.
I'd go avant garde to mask the fact I can't play

drummingcraig: My name is Rupert, and I play the accordian.

[Cappy*tan]

I know a girl who lives in Tennessee. I call her Tennessee. She calls me Cappy*tan. And when she writes it out, she even includes the asterisk, although sometimes she puts an apostrophe instead. But I prefer the asterisk. I'm funny that way. heh

[Kilroy]

i forgot sorta how, back when i was a freshman in highschool, i just sorta got this nickname from mr. roboto, when he says kilroy at the end. Then i went on to learn that it was some sort of WW2 thing the face over the hill and the whole kilroy was here thing, i dunno.

My Name. Jeff Zahos. J...Zahos

It's so not creative that it is creative. And even if it's not, Tape Op is "the creative RECORDING magazine", not "creative user-name naming magazine".

no one's ever said "we need LESS space echo".

i say that to my brother all the time

i just KNEW someone was going to say that.

i'm totally gonna go sit in my room and cry now.

awww... well i didn't say it just to be the devil's advocate or anything. it's just i play music with my brother and his wife lately, and they really like reverb and echo and space echo stuff a lot more than i do... i'm a dry kind of guy. they won't think twice about putting a vocal through a reverb box and adding some crazy echo stuff... it just gets old is all. hehe.

I watch a lot of animal documentaries. It was either this or squirell.
