Slightly off topic, but I absolutely hate when people (the British press are the guiltiest) call Sonic Youth "the sonics" for short. Even though both bands are great and the latter influenced the former, it's like they don't even know the '60 garage gods existed!
I've actually run into this problem with my own group Dead Air Fresheners and people calling us DAF for short. There is a classic group called DAF and we don't wish to dis them by stealing their initials!
