The name of this blog
The music blog Star Maker Machine has a theme each week, and this week's theme is songs that blogs have been named after. Hello meta, how are you today?
Often, when I had insomnia in high school, I stayed up watching MTV until the wee hours. This force-fed me much "alternative" music (so alternative it was promoted on MTV...) and commercial ads, of course, but it was better than some things I could have been doing. I seem to recall, and I could be wrong, that the band Dramarama was on once and joked about how they really hate the name of their band. A band member said something to the effect of, "I wanted to name this latest album "it's not too late to change the name.'"
Why do I remember this, or think I remember this? I don't know. Everyone's a little autistic.
If I'm remembering this right, the actual name of Dramarama's then-new album was Hi-Fi Sci-Fi, which is also a pretty terrible name. It was one of the dozen or two cassette tapes I owned at that time. I seem to remember I listened to it a lot senior year on my walks from school to my fast food job. I have not replaced it on CD. I probably should have had the album with Anything, Anything instead. My rocker students know and love this song, somehow.

Ahhhh Cinema Verite... the best Dramarama album ever. I finally replaced that cassette via iTunes and it is currently in my car stereo now. Been putting Anything Anything on all my spin playlists too!
By the way, I love the word verification for this:

To which I reply yes, I am lazy.

Well, how about that. The things I learn from you.
Not too late to change the name, meet Sci-Fi Hi-Fi aka Buzz Andersen.
