The Bravery looks like it fits, but that would mean Nicky lives in the year 2005.

What about "The Hold Steady - Utter boredom"?

'Black Keys' or 'Black Lips' for Give it a Rest?

I don't understand why, but I think Old/Ugly/Posh is Bryan Ferry. His new stuff has been leaking, and his album Olympia is full of collaborations and was originally due for release the same week as PFAYM, before it was pushed back.

That makes perfect sense, but I don't think it'll fit?

I kept reading ugly as UGH anyway. Which I suppose is similar.

The first three letters look like BRY to me, but I take your point

Don't get me wrong, I hope you're right! Stared at that list loads, got no better ideas.

Ooh this is curious... I'm trying to puzzle out the ones left that aren't known for sure. I thought a picture of the characters from the Nicky font I had made might be of help to look at (all based from exact samples of his own writing apart from Q/q being approximated):


Old / Ugly / Posh = Well, jeez, this one is tricky to make out...it looks like it begins with a B or an S to me.
Give it a rest: Black Keys is conceivable but it looks like it is taking up too much space for that
Take a break: I think this is Jack White as well
Great man shit music: It looks like it is two T's at the end there, so I'm not sure that it's Tom Waits...

Aye but what about the 'Y' at the end, plus I know Nicky is wrong 99% of the time but even he has his limits.

Sorry to revive this thread, but did anyone ever work out any more of these?
