Title: The Artist Formally Known as Yim Yames
Post by: SaraBananaBear on Apr 01, 2012, 01:01 PM
Hot news from Jambands (http://www.jambands.com/news/2012/04/01/the-artist-formally-known-as-yim-yames):
QuoteFrom now on, on all of Olliges/James/Yames' projects where his hair length reaches between his shoulder and the bottom lobe of his right ear, he will be officially credited as #?^ In a statement, Yames explained that "#?^ feels just right to me—You are where you're at and I am here. Yim Yames is just so stiff and formal. It lacked whimsy." The Yim Yames moniker will still be utilized for corporate gigs and when Olliges flies business class. Meanwhile, #?^ plans to tour with members of NIN, GnR and others as part of a new super group the Arena-Size Acronyms.

I for one welcome this change, #?^ is so much easier to pronounce :thumbsup:

Hahaha, actually it is, we have several kings throughout Swedish history who have worn that name proudly! I'd also like to add that though some prefer to stress the ? part, if you're a traditionalist you make sure to stress the ^. :)
