This is from Joshua Gamson’s Sylvester biography. Fwiw, he places it in the context of the growing acrimony between Sylvester and his band:
“Sylvester does not appear on the back of the Bazaar album cover. Instead, there are pictures of the band members, and beneath them their own cryptic inside joke: “Why is the Hot Band smiling? Because they have S.O.M.F.” (“S.O.M.F.” was Hot Band code for Sit on my Face.) On the front is a photo of Sylvester, with long flowing hair, turquoise Indian jewelry, and light makeup. He is not smiling.”
(I tried and failed to upload a photo of the book page with the quote)

ah thanks bc! so somf in the sense that they've taken advantage of sylvester perhaps? but then the amyl makes no sense

It does if “sit on my face” is in the context of eating ass though

Grisso posted "No Frills" this past summer; I somehow failed to notice how much it reminded me of this exchange concerning Leo Sayer's "Endless Flight":
"Endless Flight" should be a picture of him looking at his watch on a commercial airplane― 'arry Goldman (Hurting 2), Monday, August 4, 2014 4:52 PM Bookmark Flag Post PermalinkPassenger next to him is either (a) a buxom, eyelash-batting rocker babe, with Sayer mugging wild-eyed ("can you believe my luck, with this flight being endless and all?") or (b) a yakking grandma, shoving unwanted family photo album into Leo's lap (with other distractions surrounding: shrieking baby, record execs, cigar-smoking mustachioed old money type, etc). However, if photo is really cheap, everyone can just be quietly perusing an in-flight magazine.― Doctor Casino, Monday, August 4, 2014 5:05 PM Bookmark Flag Post PermalinkI feel like there might also be a bell-shaped tourist in an xxxl Hawaiian shirt, his gut spilling over the armrest onto Leo― 'arry Goldman (Hurting 2), Monday, August 4, 2014 7:17 PM Bookmark Flag Post Permalink...with an implausibly large sandwich, also spilling its guts.― Doctor Casino, Monday, August 4, 2014 7:26 PM Bookmark Flag Post Permalink
