Energy Conduit … I think I’ve cracked this one … Verve Pipe
DINGDINGDINGDING!! We have a winner! (WTG, Jack!)
And for the record, the silly clues in the previous posts were:
- “For the life of me…”
- “…almost sophomoric, but not quite…”
- “…clues are not so fresh any more…”
References, of course, to their song, “Freshmen” 
And some answers…
Spool Large Sturgeons = Reel Big Fish
Heavenly = Divine
Ebony Tree Razorback State = Black Oak Arkansas
Vertebral Dance-form = Spinal Tap
Wedding Cisterns = Union Springs
Cheeze Job = Kraftwerk
Certainty = No Doubt
The-baptist Southern-general Prostitute = John Lee Hooker
Satsuma Figment = Orange Goblin?
Yep.
Nope. First one is Motown, second one did music for a Tom Cruise movie.
Whoopee.
Yup.
Nope.
Yup.
Maybe “Heavenly” is too vague - how about Transcendant or Inspiring.

Congrats to Sengkelat for getting all of mine in one post… Jeez. I guess I should go for the hard ones now, huh?
Numbering Blackbirds
Appreciative Post-mortal
Gas
Psychotic Circus-people Gathering
US Resident Stereo
Sheep Also
The Reproducers
Ok, well, they’re all easy… Maybe I can come up with some good ones later.
I got two!
Numbering Blackbirds = Counting Crows
Psychotic Circus-people Gathering = Insane Clown Posse
My previous ones that havent been solved:
The Blue Ballplayers (or Defender Guys) are Snoopy’s friends.
The $10 Gold Coins are good for a spending a night in LA, just don’t drink too much tequila or you’ll be sorry in the morning. In fact, you probably won’t even make it out of the hotel.
New ones:
Block How
Friend Bush and the Chirpers
Adams Stevenson
The Admirals
Sullivan and the Sons
Fruit Noisytimepiece
The Creatures
Spade the Imitation and the Kings
Small Exploit
The Victors
Fruit Noisytimepiece = Strawberry Alarm Clock?
The Creatures = The Creatures (ok, just kidding, but “The Creatures” is the name of a real band)
Here’s a few:
Kiss-me Hedge
Censored Kubrick scene
King of Israel Knife
Formerly JFK
Idyllic pastureland
Domination Depot
Logan’s Run the series android
The Remedy
Telegraph Fashion
A few more guesses:
Very Wide = Vast
Big Score Pleasantry = Killing Joke
Appreciative Post-mortal = The Grateful Dead
Sheep Also = U2
The Reproducers – The Breeders
Retiring Rodent = Modest Mouse
Formerly JFK = The Dead Kennedys?
Correct on Straberry Alarm Clock, wasn’t sure how many words I should use.
BTW: I, of course, wasn’t aware of anyone called “The Creatures”. Probably too recent for me.
Well, The Dead Kennedys is a great guess. I’m tempted just to say it’s right. But I was actually thinking of another band. It’s just one word, and they were recently on one of the late night talk shows.
The Creatures are an offshoot of another band and are probably pretty obscure.
Bingo! That’s it. I’m tapped out. (Verve Pipe! Verve Pipe! Verve Pipe!)
BTW: I, of course, wasn’t aware of anyone called “The Creatures”. Probably too recent for me.
- I believe this band (The Creatures) had “Siouxsee” of Siouxsee and the Banshees as lead singer…
Since it seems the game is dying out, I will give up my last band offering.
Proper you and I = Primus!
It was a somewhat confusing clue, but hey, I do what I can.
The one of mine that wasn’t fully solved (though White Lightning did get the clue half).
[name] and the Item offered for sale to those who’ll believe anything = Johnny Maestro and The Brooklyn Bridge
The Cure
Depeche Mode
/Andreas
Good guessing, Coil.
Yes, Monstre, The Creatures is made up of Siouxie and Budgie from Siouxie and the Banshees. But my guess for the band Jeff actually had in mind:
The Creatures = The Animals
OK, I’ll give away one of mine.
The Blue Ballplayers (aka The Blue Defender Guys) = the Royal Guardsmen (Snoopy vs. the Red Baron, Return of the Red Baron, Snoopy for President).
C’mon, people, one of you has to know The $10 Gold Coins! Y’all gonna wait until hell freezes over, or what? I’ll only reveal the answer as the last resort.
The Creatures do indeed = The Animals.
