posted by drezdn 18 May | 20:43

no idea on "a strong military offensive penis", so I'll throw another one out:

"sometime rocking vehicle presently pouring ice"

posted by Hellbient 18 May | 21:10

"a strong military offensive penis" == "Revolting Cocks", maybe?

"sometime rocking vehicle presently pouring ice" == "Van Halen"

No guesses on mine?

posted by eamondaly 18 May | 22:01

oh sorry eamondaly, i thought someone got that. What was "Ween"?

"A crapper for bobcats on a fleshy fruit farm" is gonna take some thought.

For now:

"to amphibianize a damp gear"

posted by casarkos 18 May | 23:07

"Charismatic pasture"

posted by Hellbient 19 May | 00:14

"a strong military offensive penis" = Big Drill Car or Prong

"A crapper for bobcats on a fleshy fruit farm":

John Cougar Mellencamp*, though Rufus Wainright could also count [Bobcat = Rufus; Wain = farm cart]

"Charismatic pasture" = Fields of the Nephilim or The Call

*Anyone who's watched SCTV can tell you JCM is Martin Short.

posted by Smart Dalek 19 May | 06:34

"Charismatic pasture" = The Magnetic Fields

Try:
"Resonant minority"

posted by Hellbient 19 May | 12:22

Big Black.

"Carmine semi pusillanimous rig"

posted by Smart Dalek 19 May | 13:18

Hey, pretty good, I was thinking Sonic Youth, but Big Black works also.

Don't know yours, but

"Recently developed publication"

posted by Hellbient 19 May | 13:54

New Edition. (Could also be Magazine or Daily Planet).

"Carmine semi pusillanimous rig" = Red Lorry Yellow Lorry.

"Singularities"

posted by Smart Dalek 19 May | 14:50

"Singularities" == "The Odds"?

Hey, drezdn: did anyone get "a strong military offensive penis" right?

posted by eamondaly 20 May | 04:09

"Singularities" = The Kinks.

Have a good weekend!

posted by Smart Dalek 20 May | 08:29

Before I duck out -

"Light-absorber, light-observed, light-synthesizers":

Earth, Wind & Fire! (Tower of Power and The Orb could also work)

posted by Smart Dalek 20 May | 08:48

Smart Dalek: none of the three!

posted by eamondaly 20 May | 23:55

eamondaly, nope...

Here's a hint: It's a fake band from a television show

posted by drezdn 21 May | 08:39

eamon: X-Ray Spex?

posted by Smart Dalek 21 May | 14:15

The Plazmatics?

posted by Smart Dalek 21 May | 14:17

Nope and nope. Hint: each of the words is a hypernym, so it's a three-word band name.

posted by eamondaly 21 May | 16:08

Wow, I'll admit it. I'm tapped out.

posted by Smart Dalek 21 May | 18:41

Since this thread seems inactive: "Black Eyed Peas".

posted by eamondaly 22 May | 12:40
