It’s a quiet start to December, and I wondered if anyone wanted to fill an idle moment with some creative thinking?
Describe a band or artist AND the place they come from. You can make it a game by leaving the name of said act out of your comment.
I came up with these in the Joy Division oven gloves thread:
○ The Mancunian miserablists
○ The Cantabrigian concept album creators
○ The bringers of badinage from Birkenhead
I’m sure you can do better!
The ‘Babooshka’ belting balladress from Bexleyheath.
The chiming cowboys from Castlemilk
The belligerent buffoons from Burnage.
You got there first with the word I was going to use, Vulpster.
If I said ‘the Belfast belligerence’…
The unfailingly unpleasant Ulsterman
Coney Island carousing curmudgeon.
Great stuff lads! 😀
The Moondance miserabilist
The Gloria glumster
The Tupelo Honey lack of funny
The Back on Top strop
The Why Must I Always Explain? unexplainer
Tupelo honey lack of funny!!!!
Ever thought of being a writer, Col?
It would never work out… it ain’t why, why, it just is…
The Sexy Sadie Singing Scousers.
That’s an early winner for me. I was trying something lame like the legendary lads from Liverpool. Good job I never shared that attempt.
The Mr Moonlight Mangling Merseybeat Mob
The balding beret*-wearing baritonic balladeer
* yes I know.
If only ‘Balmoral bonnet’ worked with the ‘b’ alliteration.
The balding Balmoral bonnet behatted, (fret)board-bothering…
No, I can’t quite get it.
A valiant attempt Rawlinson. However “baritone” would have sufficed and made sense, unlike your poorly constructed adjectival mockery “baritonic”.
C+
It wasn’t mockery it was a portmanteau shunting baritone with Byronic. Poorly constructed not unlike a DFS wardrobe but I rather like it.
Oh all right then

But get to class on time and make sure your shoelaces are tied pwoperly
If ONLY Thompo was Cornish/Welsh, had a bit of a breathing problem and a digital limb replacement – we’d surely be talking then about the Balmoral-boasting Brythonic bionic bronchopneumonic baritone drone-guitar polyphonic metronomic darkly comic Jimmy Shand strict-tempo Thompo tonic.
Memorable Musings from Muswell Hill
The Rigid Robots of the Rheine-Ruhr
The Bewley Brother of Beckenham
The Durable Denizens of the Dartford Delta
I’m digging the Dengljsh of ‘Rheine’!
The Shields Springsteen.
Deep Nurdle
The dirge delivering doomster from Duluth
The earthen-voiced, ebony-clad elongated Eliot enthusiast from Ely
Abingdons auteur of angst, amok among anguished alienation, acutely airbag aware
The miniscule musical maverick from Minneapolis.
The world-weary well-dressed warbler from Washington.
Can anyone name them all? Correctly?
Or can everyone? (except me, possibly…)
Struggling with:
The chiming cowboys from Castlemilk
The world-weary well-dressed warbler from Washington
You may know one of these.
No idea about the first one but the I’m sure the second refers to the Washington in County Durham if that helps.
Of course I too wondered which Washington.
Ah, Ferry Across the Wear.
Warbler and well dressed would have done it.
I suppose it was never going to be Shane Macgowan…
Permanently Pissed Plastic Paddy Principal
The pristine poetical pop princess phenomenon from Pennsylvania.
The Hurry up Harry herbert hitmakers from Hersham
The dyed, disputing De-do-do-do, de-da-da-da denizens
The Bullfrog Blues boyo from Ballyshannon aka the charismatic check-shirted chord cruncher from Cork
The hellraising, hotheaded, humble heartbreaker from Hoboken.
Feeling somewhat Northern in mood today, so
Salford’s Sultan of Subsonic Substance
The Macclesfield Maestro of the Measuredly Motorik
The Surly Soliloquiser of Stretford
The Wondrous Riff Wrangler of Wythenshawe
The Bibulously Berserk Bard of Broughton
