Spanish car licence plates have a series of four numbers and three letters, consonants only, so to keep my brain ticking over while driving, I try to find a word for the alphabet soup combination of each car that goes past.

This afternoon I decided to ring the changes and do them in pairs, aiming for band names/album titles.

The random nature of the words that will fit inevitably tends towards prog rock territory, but there are some surprises.

So far I’ve enjoyed Kinship Flint(KNH + FLN), which has a lo-fi folk feel to it, a Texas Campfire Tapes kinda vibe.

MaKeShift LoZeNge should definitely be frenemy label-mates of Prefab Sprout.

And MysTiC DRomeDary, which does indeed sound like a Rick Wakeman side project during the dying days of Yes.

This is what keeps me moderately sane while ferrying teenage kids to and from their social and sporting engagements.
