The Top Ten Band Name list is back from vacation and ready to rock ya with its usual style and finesse. But first, I am happy to announce that I had to remove a name from my Unused Band Name list!

I got an email this week from one of the members of Sado-Massachusetts, a band based in Austin, Texas. They got the name from someone else, but nonetheless he promised to send me some MP3s of their work. IT BEGINS...!
