I read FW a couple of years back. A beautifully perplexing piece of writing
that, if nothing else, yielded some awesome band names:
Baken Head
Axenwise
Mark the Wans
Zee End
Frisky Shorty
Bung Crate
Yore Loudship
Uniswoon
Sop Lap Sick Dope
The Fourbottle Men
The Clodshoppers
The Morphios
Fox and Lice
Tragic Jester
Heali Baboon and the Forky Theagues
Indelible Ink
The Bearded Jezabelles
Cannibal Cain
Standfast Dick
General Jinglesome
Sister Cyclops
The Psychophannies
Bumchub
Wanked
First Offenders
The Vomitives
The Blue Danuboyes
Tubberbunnies
Obscidian Luppas
Spraygun Rakes
