*not the building material although something big of the same shape can be made from it.

Can be made from the word? Or something the same shape as the word (only bigger?) can be made from concrete?

Cheap nasty building material could possibly have dung in it....  but that again seems like something the Persians would be quite interested in, Arg-e Bam considered and all.

Large version can be made from concrete. Standard material is metal.
Dung may be used to make it more nasty.

Does the word consist of 4 parts (in two syllables), or that which is described by the word?

The item is traditionally made from 4 parts, although it could of course be cast in a single mold. For mass production the former is probably easier.

Maybe the LPWB is interfering (but you would definitely notice that or you have a real medical problem).

No, metal (usually).
But nuts may be involved and unasked-for contact with the word could drive you mad.

Well, that answers that old question (Pink Floyd)....

I guess many will be surprised that she is still among the living.

If it wasn't for The Wall, I wouldn't have known to listen. I actually didn't know she was still alive.

The cousin of Joe the Plumber?

[Aggie]

Everything relevant in punk has already been said by Joe Strummer.

Hmm... nothing fits all the clues yet.   A spring is usually made of metal and can promote insomnia, but can be cast from concrete.  But not 2 syllables and 4 parts, not cheap and nasty.

Ah, this game is full of trials and tribulusions. 

Perhaps a round of the Hedgehog Song in Czech (or something close to it) would help relieve the stress?
