Earth-Angel Posted October 21, 2005 Report Share Posted October 21, 2005 They are missing "select" before start, but that was the cheat code for Super Contra Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blind-fitter Posted November 28, 2005 Report Share Posted November 28, 2005 (edited) The following are all genuine bands from the UK punk/indie scene of the 80s/ early 90s and whose records feature in my own collection: Foreheads In A Fishtank Stitched-Back Foot Airman Archbishop Kebab The Dog-Faced Hermans Inspiral Carpets Terminal Cheesecake Pregnant Neck Kitchens of Distinction Flux of Pink Indians Rudimentary Peni Hagar The Womb Jackdaw With Crowbar There was also a band around called Dr Phibes and the House of Wax Equation: they were probably quite good, but that really is a ridiculous name. By the way, what's the fuss about "Butthole Surfers". What's so ridiculous about that? Edited November 28, 2005 by Guest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steel2Velvet Posted December 3, 2005 Report Share Posted December 3, 2005 In the 90's, there was a local band slinking around Dayton, Ohio with the name Billy Z. Bubb and the Flames From Hell. They weren't known for their tender ballads or emotionally nurturing themed songs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnnyguitar Posted December 3, 2005 Report Share Posted December 3, 2005 (edited) Reznor describes the meaning behind the name Nine Inch Nails: I don't know if you've ever tried to think of band names, but usually you think you have a great one and you look at it the next day and it's stupid. I had about 200 of those. Nine Inch Nails lasted the two week test, looked great in print, and could be abbreviated easily. It really doesn't have any literal meaning. So...am I missing something?

blind-fitter Posted December 3, 2005 Report Share Posted December 3, 2005 johnny and I have been having an "animated debate" over on the "Songs about Sex" forum. I think maybe johnny got confused about which thread he was on. In his defence, however, I can confirm that Stiff Little Fingers ripped their name straight from a track by the Vibrators. I don't believe there is any intended sexual imagery- tho' possibly in johnny's mind, who knows?- so much as aggressive imagery, as in the "two-finger V-sign". (The bands music publishing co. was called "Rigid Digits") Certainly the band themselves were pretty much bereft of "sexy attributes" and the music wasn't exactly throbbing with lusty desire. Stiff Little Fingers has never seemed like a ridiculous name to me...but what do I know? NB. The two-finger V-sign is now considered passe, having been superseded by the "middle finger salute", fact fans! (This development may symbolise the expansion of an American cultural hegemony) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You need to write a trashy romance sex scene. Long, long ago, when I just a wee lass, there was a band called Strawberry Alarm Clock. I always thought that was odd. The band that played at my wedding (again, many many moons ago) was called Dick Tanner and the Skillet Lickers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
