You'll know Jizzleyne Maxwell from her role as giddy socialite in love with husky backwoods financier (Jeff Epstein) in popliar Hallmark movie Christmas Is For Children, but did you know glamorous heiress is authority on 'nineties "indie rock"?
"I hide albums in my prison purse," she smirked suggestively in an exclusive interview from the Slut Slammer. "So occasionally a guard will find one up there during a routine body cavity search. Lucky me!"
In above Foam-O-Graph© [above - Ed.], diligent guard Beatrice "Brucie" Beaverballs extracts contraband "indie rock" CD from G-Max's fragrant prison purse, yesterday! Identify act/album to win this week's Grand Prize! Do not name directly! Hint! Allude! Reference obliquely!
Whaddya mean ya "don't know"?! How many "indie rock" bands put out an album in th' early nineties? How hard can this be? Quit yer whinin' and take a wild guess!
Clew 1: Eponymous
Clew Deux: Beware of red herrings
Clew C: Herring is a good catch
Clew 4: Education
No clew here. Beware of red herrings, you say that every time, but this time I can smell them, "euuuuwww! take a shower"
ReplyDeleteNot in Wonderland?
ReplyDeleteThat could be the link.
DeleteI'm stumped. What, precisely, is the difference between 1990s "indie" and "alternative" music? That might narrow it down...
ReplyDeleteOk, risking another resounding "NOPE" from Mr one eleven. I'm guessing at an early '90's cd that doesn't have a sleeve anything like the one illustrated. However the group did do a single around that time that could be related to the cover but I could probably do with a new set of glasses, to be absolutely certain. Added to that there is an oblique reference in your screed to something appertaining to the picture disappearing up the cavity.
ReplyDeleteAm I warm?
Incidentally, Mr Nesmith will be a sad miss, I am just starting to explore his works, I am very keen on his Different Drum.
Extra clews, plus: Mrs. Myra Nussbaum prefers a twelve-inch.
ReplyDeleteNever heard of them but it looks like I'll have to go back to my studies, maybe I should go to Marillion's old alma mater.
DeleteI *think* th' Nobster's netted this one ... anyone else? You, sir, at the back of the class?
DeleteA certain "member" of the Mountbatten family, must be a little more than nervous.
ReplyDeleteNot a clew or answer, just an observation...
Just because he's rich, white, old, and member of a "Royal" family doesn't mean he's above the law, and I'm confident he'll be charged, convicted, and sentenced appropriately. As confident as I am that Trump and his gang 'o grifters will end up behind bars. Justice will be served.
DeleteAgreed, but sadly, justice is not synonymous with reality.
DeleteSo much for my Charles Lutwidge Dodgson's S&M guess.
ReplyDeleteConnie Mack was correct.
Congratulations to A Fine Old English Noblemon!
Alice In Chains was an excellent guess. I looked up Connie Mack, so learned a lot, but not why he's mentioned in this context (the "catch" connection?)
Delete"You can't win them all." - Connie Mack
DeleteYou won't want to know what my first guess was, suffice to say that Bab's previous comment about apophenia (I had to look ut up) was very appropriate. I think I'd had a few glasses of it, that and my dodgy eyesight, I could gave sworn it was a bloke with a black beard, who usually wore a wooly hat. Turns out it was a bliddy guitar! Ho hum....
DeleteTh' Nobster wins this week's Grand Prize - 500 day-glo pool noodles!
DeleteI should know this but I'm stumped.
ReplyDeleteS/T EP - released in early 90s
Band name referencing fishing/catching, cavities/insertion/dildo, education/school/institutionalism ...
I got nuthin', even with their 12" LP album cover clearly visible
Your one and seven will get you there, and it helps if you turn the 12" upside down, enlarge it as much as you can and squint hard until you can see a guitar and other things. As I said, I've never heard of them, but I did stop listening to music between 1983 and about 1995.
ReplyDeleteGot it! Never heard of them either :/
DeleteMoving sidewalk, but in a state of inertia. In England it's called a ......
ReplyDeletePavement? Yes?
DeleteNope.
Affirmative!
DeleteNo place to look for pescados. On the pavement. A Christmas wish...For youse to do a piece on Tangerine Dream's Phaedra. A stunner, after all these years. A happy Christmas to all of you. Cheers, Rowan.
DeletePhaedra gets my vote
DeleteRowan, a Festivus Gift piece is going up this week.
DeleteTusen Takk
DeleteIt's one of those pretty good/not bad/okay albums with one nearly great song (the first, which was a minor hit), and worth a play or two. They cut a second, which nobody bought, and split.
ReplyDeleteRe-live those fabulous nineties!
The album track "3 Strange Days" always makes me happy. Great song. Track two on the four track CD "single" is a "dub" version which just diminishes its power as bits and pieces keep stuttering and / or dropping out of the mix.
DeleteI bought the second album (almost certainly out of a bargain bin) and it's ok. "Drop of Water" by School of Fish has some charm.
Main point of me adding to this thread tho' is to recommend giving a listen to main-SoF-man Josh Clayton-Felt's subsequent solo albums, particularly the posthumous "Spirit Touches Ground". Talented man who sadly died young - see Google.
(By the way, his bandmate Michael Ward built a nice career in music, playing with The Wallflowers, John Hiatt, Ben Harper and Gogol Bordello, says Wiki.)
Cheers, Peanuts Molloy.
PS. Re Michael Ward and John Hiatt (a favourite of mine): I just looked and see he plays lead guitar on the "Perfectly Good Guitar" album which means he's lead guitarist on the track "Buffalo River Home" which means he should be a very happy man.
DeleteCheers, Peanuts Molloy.
