If I were record, no...wait...craft a prog album, it would be a single 165 minute song. When the record company tells the band that it won't be able to fit on not just one, but two discs, and can't be released, I'll throw the tape into a paper shredder in a fit of righteous anger, thereby cutting the tape into thousands of tiny pieces. The remaining pieces will all be burned onto individual discs and sold. The (approximately 1,134) discs will have to be played all at the exact same time for full effect. There will be a festival in the Sahara Desert where I will gather together 1,134 people so that the world may witness the glory of what I will dub "Hypsilophodon".
The only vocals on the album will be me imitating a Tibetan monk run through a vocoder, run through a tin can, run through an octave pedal, then run through another vocoder. The first 14 minutes of the album will be simply one guitar note delayed over and over.

as for band names...I keep a running list on my macbook. In fast, A Running List is one of them.
Right now my band is either called Ironic Frogs or Blank. The South Korean singer suggested Ironic Frogs without a clear understanding of what "ironic" means, and I suggested Blank because then we could totally do a cover of Blank Generation by Richard Hell and the Voidoids. But that band is soon breaking up, so I'll need a new band name. Some of my top contenders are Bank,
Catch,
The Challenge,
The Unseen.
My more hip, indie side project can be something like
Chair Minus Desk,
Circle Y/N (pronounced Circle Yes No), The Misplaced Modifiers,
Oh, Your Gerands!,
Pocky Accident,
Social and Moral Relationships with Personified Robots,
Stairs Are Free!
Other possible band, album, or song titles include
The Hindsight Bias
The Imposters
I'm Alright Cigarette
problems that are solved by breaking a large force into parts that converge on a target
Running from Ghosts
Take It Or Leave It
We Are Creators
What Thoughts Happened
oh yeah, and my psedo-Rage band is going to be called Chainlink Aggression, and our album will be Agents of Destruction. Watch for it. Things we will or will not rage against may or may not include grapes, math, the government, corn syrup and its grip on the soda industry, Skybank, the man, oppressive South American dictators, vegetarians, hipsters, the letter z (outlawed in Iceland), the new iMovie, Dave Matthews Band, and fish tacos (or the lack of them).
