It's coming together in relative ways.

Yes, I realize this is the second wuss rock reference we've made in about four hours, but The Shins get a bad rap due to Zach Braff's general insufferability, and that's not really any fault of their own.

ANYWAY, here at the SCH offices, because last year had the March to The Sea, as well as the nadir of the Bataan Death March, we had been debating what we should name the recent eight game winning streak. We came up with a few options, all of them likely infantile and borderline moronic, but I thought we should let you, the SCH reader, decide what we should call it. Keep in mind, that suggestions are welcome in the comments, you're not limited to the options provided below.The SCH/Committed Indian Urban Dictionary is a living, malleable being, and fuck knows most of you are probably going to come up with a lot better than what we did. So here they are:

Poll

What should we call the eight game winning streak?

"Chicken Huntin'" (Yes, I know it's an ICP reference, but it seemed ironically funny given this was the Circus Trip)

25 votes

"Ride of the Rohirrim" (Probably too LotR nerdy, but since when have we ever been ashamed of our nerddom, right?)

59 votes

"Source Tags & Codes World Tour" (Referencing an album by the band And You Will Know Us By The Trail of Dead, which seemed like an appropriate description for the streak)

47 votes

"November Reign (In Blood)" - (Guns n Roses n Slayer)

295 votes

I still like calling it Putting up the Snowman

8, like on my golf scorecard. Happens more times than it should…

I like “Putting up the Snowman”.

Also possible, “Anytime, Anyplace” (4 home, 4 road)

Call me a hater, but if you guys think this team isn’t pimped out enough, now their pimping for Ikea?

ugh.

And throw in a douchenozzle somewhere in there.

How about the Trail of Dead? Or should we save that for the playoffs?

Trail of Dead fucking rules. Anyone seen them live? Seen ’em three times. They destroyed my face each time.

by Slaky on Nov 30, 2009 10:58 PM CST up reply actions 0 recs

saw them open SXSW back in college. I thought they were kind of a joke with their stage antics…contrived. Even with the major label deal I doubt they can afford to destroy guitars on stage when I’m sure they’re still in debt to Interscope.

by Crease Monkey on Nov 30, 2009 11:37 PM CST up reply actions 0 recs

Trail of the dead would be good

If we didn’t end up dying in the end. It was a great road trip, but i feel trail of the dead should be saved for a moment of more complete domination, perhaps the playoffs as you said

haha

I went with November reign, but was close to picking Ride of the Rohirrim.

I’d love to see a Triumph reference, even though they’re Canadian. Never Surrender? Battle Cry?

ST&C is one of my favorite albums ever

but all of these suck.

I can’t think of anything better, though.

NOW STOP IT RIGHT HERE

by mjthor on Nov 30, 2009 9:25 PM CST reply actions 0 recs

that said, ToD should've just stopped after ST&C

Okay, I came up with another idea (music reference, too!): “Ashes of the Fall”

because it’s Fall, and well, you fucking get it.

NOW STOP IT RIGHT HERE

by mjthor on Nov 30, 2009 9:44 PM CST up reply actions 0 recs

aw fuck me.

it’s “Ashes in the Fall”

Now I look like an even bigger asshole.

NOW STOP IT RIGHT HERE

by mjthor on Nov 30, 2009 9:45 PM CST up reply actions 0 recs

or another Fall reference

“Feel Good Hit of the Fall”

NOW STOP IT RIGHT HERE

by mjthor on Nov 30, 2009 9:51 PM CST up reply actions 0 recs

but while that's from a good band and makes contextual sense

it kind of sucks.

Okay, I’m just going to throw this one out there: “A Giant Alien Force More Violent & Sick than Anything You Can Imagine”

NOW STOP IT RIGHT HERE

by mjthor on Nov 30, 2009 9:53 PM CST up reply actions 0 recs

Alright, mine suck just as much.

The Rage one is okay. On a side note, I can’t believe it’s been 10 years since that album came out.

NOW STOP IT RIGHT HERE

by mjthor on Nov 30, 2009 9:54 PM CST up reply actions 0 recs

Good lord

That made me feel ridiculously old. I was a freshman at Batavia HS when that album dropped. The first Rage show I went to was incidentally the first time I’ve ever feared for my life. It was one burning car short of a “Bulls Win” riot.

Good times.

I got the "Long December" reference in the last thread

(and I like that song, by the way), but I have no idea what you all are talking about in this one. I recognize some band names because I reshelve cds for my library job, but beyond that… I guess I don’t move in the same musical circles as the rest of you.

Can't we have a Carpenters reference? Maybe John Denver? Barry Manilow?

the shins

pretty soft indie band. objectively speaking i will admit they are good but dont feel bad for not being in their musical circle…

“april 29th, 1992” could be fitting. great sublime song about LA riots, some awesome stuff about general chaos and destruction: http://www.lyricsfreak.com/s/sublime/april+29+1992_20133116.html
