I like Moments. Question: Isn't 'Lackluster' kind of an unfortunate brand name? In English, it is defined (according to the Internets) as lacking in vitality, force, or conviction; uninspired or uninspiring. Or is 'lackluster' part of some sort untranslated Finnish pun? I can easily imagine Finns with the name Laackslysster. Or you could change your name to one of the Finnish words that mean 'lackluster', like KILLOTON which would sound a lot more impressive in English... Or maybe call yourself pilkunnussija, which English speakers think is just hilarious. On Wed, Apr 2, 2014 at 3:03 AM, Esa Juhani Ruoho <esaruoho@gmail.com> wrote:

And, eventually, just inertia. No point in changing it anymore - I guess. On 3 April 2014 00:58, Eric Sorenson <eric@explosive.net> wrote:

Kent, you would be correct. It is, indeed, unfortunate. Power of words. I've often thought about how it basically turns anyone off from actually listening to the tracks. Sometimes I envy people like Blamstrain and Brothomstates for not choosing, basically, an adjective. They also roll off the tongue way easier (no need to pronounce anything (this would only make sense to finns)). About Killoton, though, that'd be Kiilloton with a double I and a double L :) I don't think pilkunnussija (fucker of commas) is the way to go either. Not sure there's much one can do, seems like it's here to stay. Full name is already reserved for ambient drone. So, unfortunate brand name, not sure if it would be clever to change to a more fortunate brand name. On 3 April 2014 00:34, kent williams <chaircrusher@gmail.com> wrote:
