Someone had already taken Nicola (never seen a post of hers).
So next best was Nicci as a couple of people use this as my name.
I couldn't be bothered to be creative, hence ordinary name.

minor threat
Personally, the only hardcore band that ever mattered. They spawned the notion of straight edge before it ran away from them like a spoiled child.
Minor Threat was one of the original innovators of hardcore and easily one of the most brilliant of the genre. Although it's often said that Bad Brains invented hardcore, Minor Threat did a great job of refining the burgeoning genre and altering it to fit their own purposes, as many Hard Core bands of the time did. Bad Brains merged a high-speed punk sound with reggae influence and rastafarian sounds, Minor Threat always had a pure, fast punk sound. They played songs with extremely fast guitar progressions, bass lines, and explosively fast drum beats.
To go along with their endless fury and unrelenting energy were some very intelligent and insightful lyrics by the charismatic Ian McKaye. His work with Minor Threat is best remembered for single-handedly inventing the straight-edge movement with the song of the same name, a 45 second blast of light-speed hardcore with lyrics rejecting drug abuse. Since then Ian has refused to associate himself with the straight-edge movement, which has unfortunately become, with exceptions, a cult of dogmatic and intolerant youngsters who are sometimes prone to violence.
Minor Threat released a few explosive and powerful records in the early / mid 80s. These are all collected on the utterly flawless and totally essential Complete Discography CD. They include classics like "Minor Threat", "Bottled Violence", "Out of Step", and of course "Straight Edge" as well as great covers like the incendiary version of Wire's "12XU" and The Monkees "Stepping Stone." It's the most energetic, brutally insightful and influential hardcore punk music ever made.
Musically? Not everybody's cup of tea, but whether you like the music or not, you have to admit that Minor Threat were the DIY ethic of the eighties in full force. They captured the feeling and zeitgeist better than anybody else. A great influence and inspiration to me during my teens, hence the username.

Down this neck of the woods, if your surname is Hughes, you get called Yosser.
As in Yosser Hughes out of the ' Black Stuff '. ' GIZ A JOB '
But, as per usual I spelt it wrong....
Later YOZA ( It looks better as Yoza though, I think )
