thehauntingsoul Posted April 8, 2009 Report Share Posted April 8, 2009 (edited) So I made this username back when I was like 13, and I thought it was cool. For simplicity's sake I just used the same handle for just about every login/online service I ever used. I'm 20 now, and this tag fits me like a pair of toddler's shorts. Sneaksta appropriately said: sneaksta303 said: THEHAUNTINGSOUL IS GAYER THAN A BAG OF DICKS Quite agreeable. I knew a while ago that it was going to have to change, especially before I put up a myspace with some tracks. How do you guys come up with your artist name? I would use my first and last name but Westenberger is rediculous as hell also. I know this is sort of like that thread asking how you name your tracks but I am stumped. I dont want to do something that sounds lame because its trying to sound too cool, but I can't really get anywhere.

thehauntingsoul Posted April 8, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 8, 2009 (edited) I can't decide if that is sheer madness or solid advice.

modey Posted April 8, 2009 Report Share Posted April 8, 2009 (edited) my old idm pseudonym modex came from the Mode X video mode rooftop access (my post-rock band) came from wandering around on level 6 in the westfield shopping centre in bondi junction, nsw, looking down on the rooftops of other stores and thinking to myself 'i wish i had rooftop access'. as for pselodux, i can't remember how i made that up. i think i might have come up with it trying to invent a name that sounded like a vacuum cleaner brand. oh and archie martin vox (my metal/noise project) came from a now non-existant electrical/whitegoods department store chain.
