I'm not sure who it is, but it sure looks like something that could have come out of David Bowie's mouth. (Except, they probably didn't have cordless razors in the 1940s! OUCH!)
OK- try
"Johnny D" and their other "hit," "Preppie" - now, name that band!

Alright, let me see here.
Good job god. XTC it is. I guess either Killdozer or Butthole Surfers for "Gary's Got a Boner."
SatanX3; tough. I'm not sure; an L.A. band, perhaps.
S'Bob. I have no idea. But I'll guess that band with Courtney Love (what'r they called?)
Other dude/chick; no clue.
NOW try: "Black Cloud," a classic 70s rock radio tune. Name that band!

I'm shocked!! I had no idea at all, really. Hole; how about that. (I just figured she'd be a likely attendee, AND the most likely ((man OR woman)) to punch somebody.)
S3- Suicidal Tendencies, eh?
No "Black Cloud" takers?

Not a bad guess at all. "Black Cloud" is by Trapeze. They sounded a lot like Free.

to Harry Spears show on NPR and this tune he used to segue from one segment to the next..it was the most inventinve tribute to the Carpenters I'd ever heard. As some of us know, Karen Carpenter was profoundly depressed and suffered from the absence of her mothers love, I mean her mother was not very demonstrative and Karen Carpenter had the most perfect voice, phrasing, intonation, timbre, tone vibrato and all of that, perfect perfect elocution. She died of bulemia. She suffered from it for years. This singer who I magine to have been in her late twenties seemed to have channeled that melancholy and world ache, or ancestral ache and placed it in the carraige of a this really intriguing amalgam of rock, indie, pop, 60's cool jazz, a little ecclesiastical organ flourishes and something else that seemed familiar but I just couldn't classify it.
I think the tune she/her band had appropriated was close to you or something. I'd love to know how I could get a copy of thier CD. Amazing. Even I was just a little kid when they were popular ...I just get the feeling after listening to her that the wind, the ball of wind that animates the soul is deflated finally after all the songs, and I just feel like getting out of the car and screaming at the landscape. Why won't the world answer me back? And who the hell cares if the hat on my head is perched at an askew angle? I'm rounding the bases, and my arms are pumping like pistons, pumping with the remorseless purpose and momentum of a locamotive, churning up mountains of coal, comin' 'round the bend, it disappears for a moment and then knifes through the air, shoots out of the stone cleavage of mountains and yet I can never seem to make it home. Even as the onlookers stand muted with awe at the majesty of this moment, this perfect moment some undergirding within collapses and I am assualted by visions of my own decay, of my death, of my thousand times a thousand moments of drinking in the soured faded light and god i just don't think I have enough fight left any more and some where between half way between third base and home the vertigo of all the well intentioned ressurections that eventually shattered like so much..god I'm trying to rally, I'm trying to summon a force, a force of faith, the force, the faith the only force you summon against the power of doubt and death and melancholy.....
sTill though Karen Carpenter, The Carpenters reimagined for a millenial age..that would be provocative. The forces within Karen and her brother and thier mother the perfectionist, the hard unyielding back, the stone heart the father who was there, but more like a benign apparition, a figure head, but incapable of consoling his daughters ache, her wonderful bursting broken heart.
...
I'd love to hear that band, that singer again.

If Karen Carpenter had taken a bite of Mama Cass' chicken sandwich, they might both be alive today.

Oh! right. I just got that. It took me three days to get that. I'd forgetten that mama cass died some obstruction in her esophageal canal, or a heart attack induced by increased respriration and asphyxiation due to the obstruction in her esophageal canal...or something like that.
And lo brilliance leapt across the sky and the opaque and featureless plane of oldephebe's spectacularly pedestrian mind was illuminated and where there were endless sheaths/swathes (wich sounds better?) of unbroken sand now there were sharp angles and contours and his brow was even furrowed in contemplation, "That unfamiliar sensation is clarity." Said Akimb oui the Seer. "Clarity you say?" said oldephebe. "But why then does the howling wind of clariy have to strike so brutally?" he asked. Akima oi the seer replied sagely and with a bit of incredulity at oldephebe's starkly apparent albeit polysyllabic stupidity.."Oe, it is merely that your mind, your wonderfully naive and tortured mind having so long slumbered in the syrup catacombs of your overtly romantic coping mechanisms is unaccustomed to the rigors of unraveling simple linguistic expressions. You were being asked to acess a common repository of cultural/pop history, iconic mind you and in an area that you'd professed some knowledge in and simply draw a straight line to the punchline. Fear not oE, the wind of clarity scours out everything superfluous. You will become acustomed to its gifts, its rewards its product attained by rigorous application of reasoning."
The Seer looked up at the sky and said, "you see there oE, how the sky is scoured of everything and left with this equisite cerulean canopy? That will be your mind soon."
"ah so yes the wind scours and it bares the bone. Eh?" Oldephebe said in kind of self-congratulatory and what he hoped approximated the kind of rabbinical amplomb and certainty that he'd admired in the biblical narratives, the rituals and the symbols that once provided certainty and sanity to his to the wind tossed waters of his mind.
anyway yeah...cool...mama cass and karen carpenter...interesting juxtaposition and kinda funny but at the same time you tragic and uh such.

you're right, if you haven't seen it you'd have no idea (but that's the point of name that band quizzes). It's by a well known artist. alternative rock. a beauty queen and a serial killer in his name.
