Hey Lads....are you playing South by Southwest in Austin this year? Several local publications have you down for the End Records Showcase w/ Giant Squid and Tub Ring. The reason I ask is that, unless I missed something, it doesn't appear to be listed on your Myspace profile. Cheers....
 
I only typed the name in such a way because it makes far more sense, in every conceivable way, be it grammatic, semantic, or otherwise. I don't pretend to have empirical knowledge of such things (especially when it comes to the mystical world of artistic motivation), but I also don't pretend to know what sort of connection a pluralized month would have to a term descriptive of an emotional state. If the insinuation is that doom seems to be very common in November, no modification is necessary because the term "doom" is just as plural as it is singular. If we are to attempt to humanize the term "November" with the morose idea that a large quantity of these months (meaning one associated with each year, obviously) are generally prone to a sense of doom, this doesn't help matters much because there would need to be at least some kind of verb between the two terms (Novembers feel Doom, Novembers dislike Doom, etc.). If the idea is simply that each time November rolls around, doom seems to be the dominant emotion, the same problem of the absence of a verb arises (Novembers cause doom, Novembers create doom, etc.)
So for the reasons stated above, I deduced that the insertion of an apostrophe is the only conceivable way that a proper context of meaning can be created for the name.

*note: this post should not be read as any sort of critique of the name itself; it's merely an explanation of why it appeared the way it did in my post.
 
Good fucking lord, LOL.

The reason why there's no apostrophe in our name is......

.....it looks bad in the logo. Period.

People get waaaaaaaaaaay too caught up in this shit sometimes. Especially when you consider the number of grammatically incorrect band names out there. This debate over a fucking apostrophe is silly.

And I think Will was just being a wiseass to begin with. Everyone relax, breathe normally...LOL. :)

This is clearly the best post ever in existence, and this fact is proven by the Thoth avatar.
 
Ha ha....thanks man. I was just having fun, really. I'm working towards a Master's Degree in Literature right now so language is always on the brain. That post was just an amusing way to kill time between reading assignments. And yes, Thoth is the greatest black metal band in existence.

That's too bad about the End Records showcase, 'cause I don't really care for Giant Squid or the other bands playing. Oh well, at least we still have Ludicra, Mew and Mastodon, as far as the whole festival goes.
