Friday Music Quiz

This week I learned that Manchester's A Certain Ratio were named after a lyric in Brian Eno song "The True Wheel".

What other bands are named after a lyric in a song by another band?

I'm delighted with my latest tree in the @Co_Biologists Forest of Biologists, not least because it has taught me a new word: marcesence. I challenge myself to drop this word into a conversation before the end of the day https://forest.biologists.com/landscape/?id=93279

The authors credit their analogy to The Brothers Grimm, but I credit it to Slint

Clue for abovementioned #FridayMusicQuiz. Another song that shares the same link is "Just Like Heaven" by The Cure.

I can think of two others, both of them superb 1970s classics. I'm sure there are more.

My beautiful research vision when I first tried to set it down on paper this morning: Spaghetti

How it looks now: Mashed spaghetti

I'm starting to wonder if it might not actually be a brilliant and world-beating idea to start writing five grants at the same time due to not being able to decide which one(s) to focus on.
