Desire Path
Desire path, Tilgate

Desire path is a term for when planners design a layout, with paved pathways and green areas, but everybody always takes a shortcut across the grass.
The resulting muddy track is called variously the desire path, path of desire, or line of desire and shows where the path should have gone if it was to suit the people who use the space rather than those who designed the layout.
This photo from a photographer who is local to me illustrates the concept well. I like to keep an eye on his photos on Flickr and when I saw this one I immediately thought... what a great name for a band.
Its such a nice generic name, Desire Path. It could easily suit a standard Coldplay/Snow Patrol sort of band but could just as easily be a soul band or folk band.

Howdy! Just wanted to say I think this is a fantastic idea for a blog, I especially dig The Pimp Cups. Would certainly buy their LP, p'raps The Pimp Cups: My Pimp Cup Runneth Over. That's really all I have to say, just thought this whole thing was really cool, and yeah, pretty much every day something crops up which would make a great band name. Keep on trucking.
