Friday Fun - #indiesellout Twitter puns

Timewasting fun on NME.COM

It's Friday once more, and today (July 31), after seeing everyone go nuts for the 'indie sellout' tweets on Twitter, we thought we'd do it ourselves on NME.COM.

The concept is simple – turn a band name into a pun by adding a corporate company name. Plus follow NME on Twitter now at Twitter.com/NMEmagazine.

Here are a few we've come up with so far:

ArcTic Tac Monkeys
SoNic Naks Youth
WolfMothercare
Little 'Boots'
Mark WH Smith (The Fall)
Britney Sears (OK, not very indie)
Kaiser Little Chefs
The Mars Bar Volta
ColdPlay.com
