Completely pointless, but why not, eh?
My band is Walter Kistler — maybe I’m a solo artist?
My album title is Little Sandy River.
And the tracks appearing on it are:
- Saxondale, Nottinghamshire
- Capture of Guam
- Battle of Baqubah
- Santa Rita, Samar
- Amesbury Town F.C.
- Small nucleolar RNA Z17
- Effect of taxes and subsidies on price
- List of colonial governors in 1797
- Jonathan de Guzmán
- Battle of Placentia
- Web development
- e-GMS
- Esholt Junction rail crash

UK Bonus Tracks:
- Small nucleolar RNA Z17 [12" remix]
- Halfdan the Mild [Paul Theakston Best Bitter mix]
- List of colonial governors in 1797 [live at Wembley 2006]
Okay, so strictly speaking the UK bonus tracks aren’t actual wikipedia articles at all, but given that my band sounds like it’s producing a history lesson — I mean, who would write a track called “List of Colonial Governors in 1797″? — I felt the need to spice it up a bit. Still, I suppose you don’t need to worry about the lyrics for that Colonial Governors one, you just read out the names…
And I was pleasantly surprised to see “web development” and “e-GMS” pop out back to back as they actually relate to what I do. Unlike Halfdan the Mild :-;
