As suspected this week's post has proven to be somewhat more difficult than last weeks.
I was quite chuffed with the two acts that I had in mind and thought that maybe at least one would stump you all.
That thought was quickly shattered by 08.34!
The Swede was right in quicker than a Brexiteer with a World War reference with the one I first thought off Nina Nastasia. An American artist although her name sounds almost Transylvanian.
There is certainly a Gothic tinge to her work as this song from her 2003 album Road to Ruin demonstrates.It is not exactly laugh a minute stuff.
Fortunately our second act is. Nervous Norvus was referenced similtaneously by George and Ramone666 .His was a name I had in mind as I'm sure I had some stuff by him. If I have I couldn't find it . Fortutately Ramone was on hand to help me out.
Sorry Walter the I in Nine Inch Nails excludes them. Actually I'm not sorry at all.
Spence came in at the 11th hour with a suggestion for The Nectarine No. 9. That's more like it!
Next week will probably be even trickier. I can only come up with one OO and I suspect that I will not by the only one to come up with it. Over to you.
Nina Nastasia - Regrets
Nervous Norvus - Ape Call
The Nectarine No. 9 - Don't Worry Babe You're Not The Only One Awake
The obvious answer here is Ozzy Osbourne
ReplyDeleteAs above - and it has to be "Shot In The Dark"!
ReplyDeleteI'm sure those two are being sarcastic, so I will state the obvious: The Only Ones
ReplyDeleteSome sanity at last
DeleteNicely done George. You took the words right out of my mouth.
DeleteOh-OK is the only one I could come up with.
ReplyDeleteI give up … to be honest, I even wouldn't have thought of Ozzy, only The Only Ones came to mind ...
ReplyDeleteDespite your brusque rebuffing of my kind offer of Mongolian throat singing last week, I am willing to help if you're desperate. I will send over two possibilities later. Neither of them are anything special, but they are yours if you want them.
ReplyDeleteCheers Ernie
DeleteI expected you to say you could come up with Only One suggestion...
ReplyDeleteOther than that, and Ozzy, I found a band called The On Offs on an old Mojo CD... and a Brazilian surf rock band called Os Ostras.
And that was it.
My votes would be for the Only Ones and Oh-OK. A distant third would be Holiday by the Other Ones. Mainstream pop schlock from the mid-'80s but listenable.
