that just looks like it'd be a Eb chord except you hit 2 Bb notes instead of Bb - Eb - F

Technically, that's not a true chord, since it only contains two unique degrees on the scale.

But, perhaps it could be called an "Eb power chord (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_chord) in second inversion" (or would that be first inversion since there's no 3rd to invert around in a power chord?). I'm not sure if that's correct terminology, although it certainly appears to me that it has two fifths and one root.

That's an Eb5, 2nd inversion

You really needn't have started a whole thread about this. In the future, I would recommend asking on either the "Composing General Chat" thread in this forum or "Music General Discussion" thread in the Music Discussion forum.
