when i was googling the lippo lippi material (factchecking isn't cheating!) the AI leant to suggest i might be asking the question "is fra lippo lippi filipino?"

AI finding new racially charged ways to work with the traditional Filippino Lippi/Filippo lippi confusion.

Ha! i came here to post Death of Marat bc when I encountered them almost 25 years ago I was perplexed by the band name until I realized it was a work of art i was not familiar with

dang i have not thought about Death of Marat for a very long time

need a thread for bands named after items exhibited in madame tussauds :)

(first bid: two called wax, plus a wax museum and a nightmares in wax)

The most interesting thing about Fra Lippo Lippi is that their former keyboardist, Rune Kristoffersen, started (and still runs) the amazing Rune Grammofon jazz (well, mostly, kinda) label.

Thought The Last Dinner Party would qualify, but a fan page corrected this assumption:

The first name of the band, "The Dinner Party", was inspired by the idea of a huge debauched dinner party where people came together to celebrate with a hedonistic banquet. It was only after they had named their band they found out about the art installation of the same name by US artist Judy Chicago.

One of at least three R. Mutts on Discogs:
