Ignoble, ignorable update

[muckefuck]

All I can think to report is that I got myself all wound up last night trying to find my Japanese chop and the only way I got to sleep again was by putting on my headphones and alternating between "She was a hotel detective" and "Quite unusual" over and over again while I played flower cards until I was all tuckered. Oh, and masturbating while thinking of that barrel-chested guy who I've seen smoking on the front steps of a brownstone across the street from rollick.

As I fell asleep, I tried to think of nicknames for rock bands that weren't simply (1) their initials (e.g. OMD, CoC) or (2) the main noun without qualifiers (e.g. Mode, the Maniacs). All I came up with was "the Mats" for the Replacements, which is basically a variation on (2).

The Revolting Cocks are often referred to as 'RevCo'.

Which is a shortening, but neither of the things you identified.

Interesting. I just called them "the Cocks" (option #2). Seems to me they're not the only music group to be clipped in that Soviet style, but I'm stuck for another.
