The Throbbing Chubbies
For no particular reason, I thought I'd waffle on a little bit about band-names. In no apparent order, here are some names of bands in my sparse music collection - Omar & The Howlers, Hound-Dog Taylor & The Houserockers, Studebaker John & The Hawks. All blues bands who have been firmly reminded of their 'sidemen' status by the title of the act. I knew the work of all those acts before purchasing their product, here are some I bought because of the name alone - Thunderdunny, Lubricated Goat, Dead Kennedy's (actually, I first bought one of their albums in the '80's because of an article in the paper about a single of theirs that was banned - "Too Drunk To Fuck"), The Bondi Cigars (this joke will mean nothing to younger readers, suffice to say it is a 'poo' joke) and a compilation album called "Here Come Eleven Nuns, One With A Bucket Of Chips For Me" featuring songs by 'artists' such as The Fuck-Fucks, Teddy Turner & The Bunsen Burners and the band with the best name of all the bands in my collection Squirming Gerbil Death. This isn't my all time favourite name, though. That title would go to an Adelaide band who (as far as I know) never recorded, nor did I ever see them, I've only ever been told about them. They were called... wait for it... Buster Hymen & The Penetrators.
I love childish double entendres.

That well kown middle-class rebel and first-class fuckwit Charlie Pickering was in a band at uni with a few other law students called The Well-Hung Jury, pretty cutting-edge, huh?
Not as good as "Half Man, Half Biscuit" . . .
Point Rodent,
