Today's ON SPEC entry is just for fun.

I don't know about you, but if I ever hear an interesting phrase, name, or grouping of words that I like, I file it away for later use. "This is something" I say to myself and I let it live in the back of my mind until "what it is" finally reveals itself. Is it a company, a product, or, like most of them, is it the name of my next hypothetical band?

Unlike last weeks post of hypothetical work for real bands, this weeks post is a collection of hypothetical work for hypothetical bands. Whether it's the funk outfit The New Moody, with pockets so deep you'll lose your keys, the indie darlings Neutered Sprite or the post-punk noise rock of Raygun, there is something for everyone on this make-believe triple bill.

While some of these interesting idioms are destined to live out their lives as my next fake band, sometimes this is just an amusing way station for their final incarnation. Who knows, maybe one day you'll be buying New Moody aromatherapy candles at Target or learning about your new favorite rock band in RAYGUN Magazine (jk David Carson)... but at least now they will also have a life on LinkedIn, where talented people, desperate for work, scream into the void.

The call to action for these posts is normally to activate my LinkedIn network to help me get in contact with the companies that I do speculative design work for, in hopes to potentially work with them but in this case, does anyone want to join my band? I currently have 3 of them.

See you in the next one.
