that band om nam shivaya, or whatever, reminds me of what that guy says in indiana jones and the temple of doom right before he gets his heart ripped out, is that how they got their name?
it's a traditional hindu mantra, "om nama shivaya", basically meaning "praise be to the god shiva", and supposedly summons shiva into your life. i don't know that band so that may or may not be where they learned the phrase, but it's not the only place.
speaking of indiana jones, does anyone know what that nazi guy says in the first one that sounds like, "heely clum." when he shows the burn on his hand. what does he say? my brother said if he ever had a band he'd name it the "heely clums"
he was just saluting and saying "heil hitler". at least that's how i've always understood it. i have no doughnut to offer though. jay "we were no match for their untamed wit" +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister@missprint.org.
