YOU ARE THE OCEAN / PHANTOGRAM
Thanks to Google, I learned that this band are prime purveyors of "shoegaze" music.

Learn something new every day!

HIII / KRINGLE WILDE
- song / band
- song title is a term (rarely heard these days) for one type of body of water
- the song was a first-up monster hit for this Aussie band just over a decade ago... they collected a few ARIA awards (the Aussie equivalent of a Grammy), put out a couple more albums, but never again achieved the heights of the first album
- the band name suggests evil coming to a well-known Swiss fictional heroine
- re: clue #2, Deadheads would know it ;)

CHECKERS WOMAN / OAA BREATHY
- song / band
- like the previous, not in the water... but near it
- an all-time great band from up Nymtoc's way -- probably the last band you'd expect to see by the water
- the band members weren't related, but amazingly, all had the same last name :D
- unlike the band from the preceding scramble, these guys weren't exactly known for long, meandering tunes... especially in the early days, their songs usually clocked in at well under three minutes per.

NERVY FINNY AS GORA / EDD BLOAB

1. Song / Composer-performer
2. Not really a water song, but connects nicely with the previous scramble.

2. Not really a water song, but connects nicely with the previous scramble.
3. Artist is one of the all-time greats.
4. Despite Clue #2, the lyrics do contain the phrase "the motion of the sea."

SHOUT DAMN DOOR / LANKY MILDEW
- (radio) play / author
- there are two links here: 1) natural material in the title; 2) the author
- author is known predominantly as a poet (and bon vivant)
- like several of the Ramones, he died young

An essential clue was the identity of the guy posting the scramble ;)

Here's another...

LAUGHTER FART / WADER FAD
- band / song
- another animal near the water
- like the previous band, a California act
- though their leader passed on more than a decade ago, they continue under a slightly different name
- song is actually about a down-and-outer
