heh..

the only tin connection in the "Blech" orbit is in derogatory reference to
sound of an instrument, i.e., a trumpet that has a "tinny" sound. i saw no
reference to "tin can" but did note the "sheet metal" definition. as we're
talking about music and british humour, however, i stand by "Blech" =
brass(alloy) = nonsense as pointing to some understanding of that group's
name. what possible meaning could "tin can" have, let alone "sheet metal"?
what proof is there that there is a german reference, anyway?

blech.
