Nope. Unless somewhere out there in that extensive musical universe there is a band/song with my name. I would like to hear them/it if it exists. ------------- Dig me...But don't...Bury me I'm running still, I shall until, one day, I hope that I'll arrive Warning: Listening to jazz excessively can cause a laxative effect. |

No, although since joining the forum I have discovered that there is a prog band called Syzygy out there somewhere.

Good try, Tuxon. That will be the link to the song later in life, followed by Under my skin and Under the bridge from the Chili Peppers. Logical thinking by the way, Tux On was a B-side from one of the Clutching at Straws songs. And Going Under was one of the songs from Clutching at Straws. |

Yes and no. It relates to my own band "Bald Angels", whose first album
will be out in August and of which I am one half (the other half being
my wife Jeanine, whose username is "BaldJean"). The "Friede" part of my
name is short for my first name "Friederike". A name I use for many
different forums and online programs.

Well, my nickname does not have any connection with any bands ( I don't
know any band of this name or similiar). My name is Paweł Proksa and
some of my relatives used to call me Pablo, I find it very, well,
coherent because of my interestings (art, music, computers). I don't
want to compare myself with a great artist Picasso... Well, I was
thinking about nick such as Rhayader, Awaken, Minstrel or something
like that, but I like that simple nickname - Pablo P.  ------------- Pablo P. |

Nope mine is a tribute to funnyman and clotheshorse, TV's Nipsey
Russell. Without him, 70's celebrity game shows would have just
been a roomful of drunken hacks attempting lame one-liners. Nipsey
elevated the whole affair to comic genius. The 88 was just an add on,
as 8 is very powerful in numerology, as it is symbolic of chaos and
disorder (all 8 compass directions at once, as typefied by the 8
pointed star).
