As someone who is, 'somewhat unsual' I prefer music that hasn't been written by bands that don't exists.

Please just go along with this - as this is your very own chance to create a band and a gold disc winning album.

On a recent thread i championed
LP: The Vim by Vim winkle and sideboard squash Single: Small, white and Sorry by Defoe crumpet[

What are your favorite lps that havent been written by bands that dont exist?:o

My favourite non-existent band were all killed when their car was pushed off the road by a rival non-existent band while on their way to record their first single.

As such they never released any work, and I don't think you should make light of such things!

Do you know i read about that - it was tragic - the demos they never made I believe were fantastic.

A sad, sad story:(

Thank you Sparkle!! is that a good or a bad thing I wonder? Your avatar is strangely....

Which none existant band do you like not to listen to??

I'll tell you what? I'm loving Band Aid 3000 at the moment.

Thanks to global warming it has great lines like! "There won't be snow in greenland this christmas. ohhh ho, the greatest gift we've got for them is sun block"

Even though it hasn't been written yet, Bono's head sings "well tonight thank god for gryogenics instead of death!!"

"leave the world- don't you know its christmas time on mars"
This is not funny

They are fantastic! The fact that they don't exist makes their sound even more unique! An inspired choice sir!!!

I believe they aren't looking for a new drummer!

Thats correct they haven't been looking for a drummer now since 1985 when they never got together.

It was funny really because of all the articles I've never read about them, I seem to remember they didn't bump into each other in an old wine bar in Pennsylvania where they couldn't have talked to each other or have said anything in order to never write their biggest non-hit 'Frankly, Betty - I'd rather knit'

Wow . . those weren't the days . . weren't they ey?

My god Lestat, I remember never seeing them at sheffield City Hall in june 1989. We queued all night in the rain for the tickets. The Hawkins quartet weren't supporting them - which was a good thing because they never did sound like kraftwerk.

Do you remember the single 'Custard haired Jenny' which they never brought out on the imaginary label - Sound Shandy Records? There aren't any copys available so its quite rare - I haven't got one.

Yes I found them a little forward for my taste - that is i would of if i knew what you were taking about.

Their musical based on Joyces 'Finnegans wake' on rollerskates set in a taxi rank, Is indeed one of the worsed productions that has never been written. They should have stuck to writing backwards, if they had existed.

an anouncement: The aforementioned Hawkins quartet are not playing anywhere near live equipment this year. Apparently their computer generated voicebox sound has not gone over particularly well at some gigs and espsecially in some of the day centres they've appeared at and they have had dreadful problems with feedback. (mainly, I have to say, from the press) Deemed politically insencitive by some, their live set which includes flaming wheelchairs with smoke effect has been cancelled until further notice. Sorry to people hoping to catch then this year but we are hoping to reissue them with batteries at some point in the future. You can, however get your hands on the much awaited rock ballard 'Stana stailift to heaven.' but I wouldn't bother if I were you.

next saturday a reality music competion is broadcast on ITV 2 at 10.30. It has been seen by many as further example of the demise of the popular music as a dominant factor in british or indeed world culture. It is called 'Imaginary Stars in their eyes' and has a collection of everyday fictional characters from real life. Here is an example of the line up;

On saturday David Clittrot a retired Battery Hen whisperer from adswood in cheshire sings 'Look at my chestnuts' originally sung by Noddy Stools from the now defunct seventies Glam rock outfit JamFlaps.

Also, Eva Beanflick a holiday rep and former camp Xray receptionist from Faluja is appearing as the opera singer Maria Von Succbuut, performing the aria from Winstanleys Yorkshire Symphony 'the dead whippet'.

But most distubing of all is;

Brian lavlenth a spit-roast salesman from east humber singing kenneth crabpants unflinching ballard ' why, why did you **** my wife - you utter ****.'

This programme is not for the fainted hearted or indeed those with hearts at all. i must warn you this state of semi-unreality that such programmes instill only serve to weaken the work of real artists that are mentioned above. Think hard before you watch such formulaic rubbish - but if you must - do it with an critical eye and an open mind

thank you:|

I just found this topic in a search, it sounds so fun so I had to reply...

have you heard the new non existant song "I Saw You Tomorrow" by the non existant band "Funny Things Happen"? Funny Things Happen have a new non existant album out soon called "Money For Everyone".

Where I come from, everybody's into passe music from long long ago in a galaxy far away in the 18th dimension, but only on alternate wednesdays. Other days it can be heard right here, but only by people who don't exist.

It would have to be the seminally never recorded Live album,
'from wadi-Ram to wath-upon-dearne' from the 1974 tour of no major european venues by the progressive funk/ mongolian nose flute combo 'propositon Yak'.

if you cant listen to the stunning version of 'cold mushy peas do not taste like guacamole' without getting and tear in your eye or a lump in your trousers, then you are just a robot!:hihi:

"Wonderful Walk" (one of my favourite non existant bands) have a new song that doesn't actually exist called "I Have To Say It" & is on their new album that isn't real called "Fire And Tinsel". Their debut album that was never made was called "Selling Your Socks".

But that's the one I don't have! If my favourite (that actually I don't really like a bit) wasn't 'Torturers against Cheese' by the non-existent non-black trio who were all four from Denver, Canada then I'd choose yours. If it weren't non-existant.

I'm not starting a new band and they won't be called Jim and the Jams.


Im not looking for a lead singer who might not sing like a banshee.

Im also not looking for a bass guitarist or a drummer.

If you're not interested in joining then please do reply, if you are then don't.

All these bands you've mentioned, I was into them years ago. I've moved on since to such greats as Pantcrotch. No doubt everyone will be raving about them in a year or two.
