James Joyce

Thought to be one of the greatest novelists of the 20th century, James Joyce is a key figure in the modernist movement. He is an Irish writer whose stories always take place in Ireland; however, he actually left the country at 22, returning infrequently. He is best known for his landmark novel Ulysses, an extremely difficult and intricate story taking place on June 16, 1904. His other major works are the short story collection Dubliners and the novels A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man and Finnegans Wake.

Pissed Off

There are at least two bands with this name 1) A Powerviolence band from the UK 2) Pissed Off is a french duo.

Weird noise, funny noise, awful noise, some says... The thing with Pissed Off is that the duo isn't serious at all.

Hard to know which moniker would have the most impact but magic was the winner of the day.
