 I never knew they were known as mosseisely. Why did they change? |

You cannot copyright a common name. Now if they played in wookie costumes or wore their hair like Carrie Fisher, that together with the name might have been a problem. Was the star wars band in episode 4 called Mosseisley? BTW Warner Brothers sucks. |

Either just prior to or after they got signed to WB I think. There were legal ramification to consider as far as I recall. _________________ yup, that's my name. FOR YOUR RATING PLEASURE: 4 LIKE Buttons, 1 NEUTRAL, 1 VEXED, 5 DISLIKE buttons. LC > FB

There's a band called Nerf Herder, which is pretty unmistakably a Star Wars reference, and I'm pretty sure they haven't been sued yet. WB was overly skittish, but George Lucas is also completely insane and richer than God, so I would have taken any chances either. I have a MossEisley sticker on my Epiphone case, and a shirt from way back in the day that's a youth small so I'm saving it for my future children. _________________ INTELLECT AND ROMANCE OVER BRUTE FORCE AND CYNICISM Smokemonster |

I completely regret not being around for the early years. I only discovered Eisley after the Marvelous Things "single" had been made into a video, because that was the first thing I ever saw/heard. But I wish I could have had some of the merch. I can't even find the vinyl Room Noises LP, which I feel would be a little easier to come by than MossEisley shirts. Meh. _________________ Taylor | @thbrogan http://inconnumag.com |

I didn't start listening to them until the Coldplay tour when they had just changed their name, but I got in early enough to buy merch when they were still shipping it out from the DuPree garage, and Kim threw in some sweet extras with my first order. They also eBay rare stuff once in a great while. _________________ INTELLECT AND ROMANCE OVER BRUTE FORCE AND CYNICISM Smokemonster |

Lucas did get Luther Luke (Luther Cambell) Skywalker of 2 Live Crew to change his name to Uncle Luke... _________________ yup, that's my name. FOR YOUR RATING PLEASURE: 4 LIKE Buttons, 1 NEUTRAL, 1 VEXED, 5 DISLIKE buttons. LC > FB

I really don't like Telescope Eyes that much.Not the RM version,not the EP1 or EP2 version.I just don't like it.And still,I love listening to it. What's it about? When I hear it,I picture a six year old Sherri scared of some freaky,really old sailor or something. olimario wrote: I always thought it was a really clever tale of two people who were friends, but one is all dorky with glasses and braces... Now I read this and I feel so dumb for not realizing before. metal teeth=braces |

They really need to get a merch site going. I would buy that stuff up so fast. And yeah I wish I had known about them earlier.. having their vintage stuff would be so tight. I did get a chance to order the Room Noises LP vinyl earlier.. |
