Rating band names based on their accuracy:

(I keep updating this list so check back later)

The Beatles: 0/10. None of these people are beetles, they’re just a bunch of fruity guys from Liverpool with matching haircuts

Pink Floyd: 4/10. There is not a single person named Floyd in the band, but some of the members do arguably look kinda pink

Nirvana: 10/10. Getting high and listening to Nirvana is roughly what I imagine actual nirvana to be like

Foo Fighters: either 0/10 or 10/10. I have never seen foo in real life so either they’re pretending to fight a problem that doesn’t exist or they’re doing an absolutely fantastic job of fighting it

The Eagles: 0/10. Same as the Beatles, there is not a single eagle in this band. The name is misleading and we have all been lied to

Queen: 6/10. Partial points for Freddie Mercury

Led Zeppelin: 0/10. I don’t think any of these guys have ever even seen a zeppelin, let alone one made of lead. A lead balloon would crash faster than my hopes and dreams

The Rolling Stones: 3/10. There is not a single stone in this band. Some points added because I’m pretty sure they rolled quite a few

U2: 0/10. Despite what the name says, I am not a member of this band

Metallica: 9/10. Naming a metal band “Metallica” is like naming your dog “doggy”

Red Hot Chili Peppers: 2/10. These guys are not chili peppers. They’re not even that hot, let alone red hot

Guns N’ Roses: 0/10. How the fuck could a gun or a flower play music

Backstreet Boys: ?/10. Depends entirely on their current given location

Simon and Garfunkel: 10/10. No notes

The Doors: 1/10. Jim Morrison is kinda shaped like a door tho

Chicago: 4/10. The number of people in this band does not come even remotely close to the population of Chicago. Points added because it originated in Chicago

Earth, wind, and fire: 2/10. This is even more innacurate than Chicago. Points added because wind instruments were often used

Def Leppard: 3/10. There is not a single leopard in this band. Some of the members are probably kinda deaf by now tho

The Beach Boys: ?/10. Accuracy depends entirely on location

The Black Eyed Peas: 6/10. Not sure what the hell an ‘eyed pea’ is but the black part is pretty accurate

Imagine Dragons: ?/10. Depends entirely on whether or not they’re thinking about dragons.

Cage the Elephant: 1/10. Why would you do that. Let the elephant go

Green Day: 0/10. They’re not even green

The Police: 0/10. There is not a single cop in this band

KISS: 5/10. I’m sure they probably kissed sometimes

The Monkees: 0/10. Are you fucking kidding me

We Butter the Bread with Butter: 8/10. I can’t verify this but I have no reason to suspect that they’d lie. Butter seems like the most logical thing to butter bread with

King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard: 0/10. I got really excited about the concept of a lizard wizard only to be let down. My disappointment is immeasurable

They Might Be Giants: 5/10. I googled everyone in this band’s height, the tallest guy’s only 6’1 so I wouldn’t exactly consider him a giant. Then again, I can’t really argue because the claim was only that they MIGHT be giants

The Presidents of the United States of America: 2/10. None of these people are Joe Biden nor are any of them former presidents. This is incredibly misleading. I’m pretty sure “Lump” was written about my first girlfriend tho so I’ll give them a point or two

Gorillaz: 2/10 Not quite but we’re kinda close genetically so I’ll give them partial credit

The Killers: ?/10. I have no way of verifying if they’ve actually killed before but the fact that they’re not in prison tells me probably not

The Offspring: 10/10. These guys are definitely somebody’s offspring

Arctic Monkeys: 1/10. They are neither monkeys nor are they from the arctic

Thirty Seconds to Mars: 1/10. It takes WAY longer to get to mars than that

Beastie Boys: 8/10. They’re pretty beast on the guitar

Jimmy Eat World: 1/10. Slow the fuck down Jimmy, you’re biting off way more than you can chew

Hole: 9/10. One point deducted because I’m pretty sure they had more than one hole

Rage Against the Machine: 10/10. They did exactly that

Alice In Chains: 0/10. This is illegal. Let Alice go

The Band: 10/10. This could not possibly be more accurate

Nine Inch Nails: 1/10. I can’t find any good pictures of their feet but from what I can tell their fingernails definitely aren’t nine inches long

Bush: ?/10. Not quite sure about this one, felt uncomfortable asking

The Who: 2/10. I’m not dealing with this “Who’s On First” bullshit

Radiohead: 0/10. Not a single person in this band has a radio for a head

Queens of the Stone Age: 0/10. This band should be called “five random dudes from the modern era” but FRDFTMA is a bit of a mouthful

Soundgarden: 2/10. Sound does not grow in the garden

Sonic Youth: 5/10. They’re not exactly youth anymore but the sonic part checks out

Talking heads: 8/10. There’s more to the band than just a bunch of disembodied heads but the heads do tend to talk

The Cranberries: 0/10. Decent music but I only added them so that the Beatles and Freddie Mercury weren’t the only fruits on this list

The Wiggles: 8/10. They do tend to wiggle a lot

Blue Man Group: 10/10. Yep!

Neurology in Art

Notes from the artists: 

1. Nervous System "A magical sunrise in a wheat field, the sound of the morning wind, waves of grass, and sun rays, inspired me to create this piece.“ by artist I. Aya. 2. Abstract Brain Anatomy. "Dedicated to my dear friend who suffers from Parkinson’s disease, this piece represents the feeling of freedom, fluidity, and beauty that we all possess.” by artist T. Bahia. 3. Brain Anatomy Line. “Drowning is an art of learning to survive, be it in water or thoughts. This art piece gives a sensation of movement and power in the room of every neuroanatomy enthusiast.” by artist I. Aya. 4. Abstract Psychiatry. “Through the use of darkness and secrecy, this painting provides a surreal illusion to human eyes. As part of this art, anguish is mixed with comfort and anger with obedience. The eyes will appear from nowhere as you focus more on the brain.” by artist T. Bahia. 5. Cerebral Angiography. “This art piece subverts the traditional brain angiography by approaching the vasculature with a dazzling sentiment that warms up your space.” by artist T. Bahia.

Take a Controlled Breath Today

Feeling on edge? Anxious? 

Controlled breathing has been shown to reduce stress, increase alertness and boost the immune system.

Here are three different methods to try:

Coherent Breathing  

The goal of this technique is slowing down your breathing to a rate of five breaths per minute. This generally translates into inhaling and exhaling to the count of six.

Try it:

Sitting upright or lying down, place your hands on your belly.

Slowly breathe in, expanding your belly, to the count of five. Pause.

Slowly breathe out to the count of six.

You may have to work up to this slowly, starting with inhaling and exhaling to the count of three and working your way up to six.

Practice this pattern for 5 to 10 minutes a day.

Rock and Roll Breathing

When your mind is racing or you feel keyed up, try this stress-relieving technique, which has the added benefit of strengthening your core.

Try it:

Sit up straight on the floor or the edge of a chair and place your hands on your belly.

As you inhale, lean forward and expand your belly.

As you exhale, squeeze the breath out and curl forward while leaning backward; exhale until you’re completely empty of breath.

Repeat 10 to 20 times.

Energizing “Ha” Breath

When the midafternoon slump hits, get out of your desk chair and do this quick breathwork to wake up your mind and body.

Try it:

Stand up tall, elbows bent, palms facing up.

As you inhale, draw your elbows back behind you, palms continuing to face up.

Then exhale quickly, thrusting your palms forward and turning them downward, while saying “Ha” out loud.

Repeat quickly 5 to 10 times.
