GODMOTHERFUCKINGDAMN!!!

::kicks something::

And I can't even rant about it here because I'll get shouted at. Grrrrrrrrr.

― masonic boom (kate), Thursday, 31 August 2006 12:00 (seventeen years ago) link

Who's going to shout at you?? I won't! Rant away!

― C J (C J), Thursday, 31 August 2006 12:05 (seventeen years ago) link

No, you won't. But all kinds of people who have decided to take it upon themselves to speak for other people - oh yeah, and possibly even those other people, too, would shout at me.

So just never mind.

::kicks something::

I've got to try and finish this bloody report before the end of the week.

― masonic boom (kate), Thursday, 31 August 2006 12:09 (seventeen years ago) link

Oh, day, why won't you go faster?

― masonic boom (kate), Thursday, 31 August 2006 13:17 (seventeen years ago) link

otm :(

Listening to the tracks on your own myspace page @ the moment.

― Norman Phay (Pashmina), Thursday, 31 August 2006 13:21 (seventeen years ago) link

I'm listening to Neu! 75. I had forgotten how pretty this album is!

― masonic boom (kate), Thursday, 31 August 2006 13:22 (seventeen years ago) link

"Hung with Joy" is the best one. I liked the gnarly wah-wah on the blog one.

― Norman Phay (Pashmina), Thursday, 31 August 2006 13:27 (seventeen years ago) link

Thanks! Hung With Joy remains, to this day, my favourite thing I've ever recorded. Wish I could remember how I did it... but I was on drugz at the time. Heh.

I usually check all the music when we get a friend request from a band, I'm always pleasantly surprised at how much of it I do like a lot.

― Norman Phay (Pashmina), Thursday, 31 August 2006 13:35 (seventeen years ago) link

I wish I could be so assiduous, but the sound on MySpace doesn't work on my 'puter. So I kinda have to go by what they look like. Shallow, huh?

― masonic boom (kate), Thursday, 31 August 2006 13:38 (seventeen years ago) link

Oh, day, why won't you go faster?

Cos the timezone thing on faux-ilx isn't live, seemingly

― beanz-ii (beanz), Thursday, 31 August 2006 13:42 (seventeen years ago) link

Ha! not really, or if it is, so is everyone else. The proportion of bands who have hott goth chixx at the top of their "friend" list against those who don't is high.

― Norman Phay (Pashmina), Thursday, 31 August 2006 13:44 (seventeen years ago) link

eesh, x-post, of course.

― Norman Phay (Pashmina), Thursday, 31 August 2006 13:44 (seventeen years ago) link

Do you decline requests tho?

― beanz-ii (beanz), Thursday, 31 August 2006 13:45 (seventeen years ago) link

Very rarely on the Shimura Curves account - unless it's some totally tasteless tacky thing with nekkid womens all over it.

I usually decline random requests on my personal account unless I actually know them (or if they have people I know listed in their top eight), or unless their space looks particularly cool. i.e. hott dirty dronerock boys I will always accept friendships from.

Not that I get many of those, mind you. :-(

― masonic boom (kate), Thursday, 31 August 2006 13:48 (seventeen years ago) link

I haven't yet. The one time I nearly did, it was from some goth band who were obviously trying to get as many "friends" on their list as possible. I listened to their first track, and the lyrics started off "down in the deep dark dungeon of my soul", so obviously had to add them for that. It paid off when I got into an agrument with the singer on analogue heaven (pure coincidence! I recognised the guy's email address - his band name and remembered it) when he was running down prog-rock lyrics, heh.

― Norman Phay (Pashmina), Thursday, 31 August 2006 13:50 (seventeen years ago) link

That's good and synchronous, hah

I don't think being shallow is necessarily a bad thing anyway.

I ain't got no last fm friends - should ask around really.

― beanz-ii (beanz), Thursday, 31 August 2006 13:53 (seventeen years ago) link

I thought there was supposed to be a box saying WOULD LIKE TO MEET but I never seemed to find it. I should put in WOULD LIKE TO MEET DIRTY DRONEROCK BOYS!!! and see if any friend me.

― masonic boom (kate), Thursday, 31 August 2006 13:55 (seventeen years ago) link

God DAMN!!!

I've been working on this payaway report all day, trying to get the rolling cumulative totals to add up right. And this conslutant keeps PESTERING me to make this minor change on his case. Less than half an hour before he sent the second request.

Like... DUDE!!! I am the head of MI for a large company of several hundred people. I clearly have NOTHING better to do with my time than change your errors.

Bah.

― masonic boom (kate), Thursday, 31 August 2006 14:21 (seventeen years ago) link

and the lyrics started off "down in the deep dark dungeon of my soul",

.....Nah i can't do that to FP twice in one day.

― pfunkboy (Kerr), Thursday, 31 August 2006 14:32 (seventeen years ago) link

He can take it, I'm sure.

― beanz-ii (beanz), Thursday, 31 August 2006 14:44 (seventeen years ago) link

It depends how much lu... no, sorry, that's too bad even for me ;-)

― Forest Pines (ForestPines), Thursday, 31 August 2006 14:52 (seventeen years ago) link

lunch?

― pfunkboy (Kerr), Thursday, 31 August 2006 14:54 (seventeen years ago) link

I ain't got no last fm friends - should ask around really.

I'll be your last fm friend!

― Forest Pines (ForestPines), Thursday, 31 August 2006 14:56 (seventeen years ago) link

I DON'T WANT TO KNOW!!!

::sticks fingers in ears and thinks of Benjamin::

Here we go loobi-lu

Who is going to be mother?

― pfunkboy (Kerr), Thursday, 31 August 2006 15:15 (seventeen years ago) link

Thanks friends :)

― beanz-ii (beanz), Thursday, 31 August 2006 15:20 (seventeen years ago) link

(Come on, that was a perfect place to point out that who am I to complain about FP's proclivities when I am clearly keeping underage boys in cages in that photo...)

― masonic boom (kate), Thursday, 31 August 2006 15:23 (seventeen years ago) link

Nice palm-tree earring he's got there

― beanz-ii (beanz), Thursday, 31 August 2006 15:24 (seventeen years ago) link

Yes, that was the fashion in 1987. (Which is a shame, considering that photos was taken in about 1997.)

Awww, it's just so cute to see floppy teenaged Ben. Because he still had that huge lopsided grin, but the rest of him hadn't quite grown into it yet. :-)

― masonic boom (kate), Thursday, 31 August 2006 15:29 (seventeen years ago) link

Just think, Benjamin probably spoke to you about pedals thinking "at last its not a teenage girl who doesn't lust after me and just wants to talk geek stuff about pedals".

Then one day he finds ILX Watercooler on google...

― pfunkboy (Kerr), Thursday, 31 August 2006 15:29 (seventeen years ago) link

Unless you're like this on the TSM boards too of course.

― pfunkboy (Kerr), Thursday, 31 August 2006 15:30 (seventeen years ago) link

I'm much, MUCH worse. :-P

There's a whole thread dedicated to nothing but me and Brandon's number one nutter going "pedals! ASS!!! pedals!!! ASS!!! ORGAN!!! ass!!! PEDALS!!!!!"

― masonic boom (kate), Thursday, 31 August 2006 15:32 (seventeen years ago) link

Thing is... from personal experience... I wouldn't mind someone lusting after me like that if it was for the *right* reasons. I mean, everyone likes to feel attractive?

Once upon a time, when I was hott and skinny and attractive and my band used to tour, I used to get approached by groupie boys. And if the groupie boy was all "uuuhhh... breasts...." I'd get turned off. But if a groupie boy was all "Omigod, I love your pedals..." and then went "Aw, you're so cute!" as well, I'd be much more likely to respond. Or, like, sign his chest or whatever. (This is actually a true story, a boy did ask me to sign his chest after talking to me gooily about pedals for half an hour.)

― masonic boom (kate), Thursday, 31 August 2006 15:34 (seventeen years ago) link

It wasn't a teenage Benjamin was it?

― pfunkboy (Kerr), Thursday, 31 August 2006 15:36 (seventeen years ago) link

Wouldn't that be totally awesome if it actually was the case!

― Norman Phay (Pashmina), Thursday, 31 August 2006 15:37 (seventeen years ago) link

Nah, it was some dude from Brighton. Can't remember his name. He was in a band, too... would be hilarious if he'd turned out to grow up to be famous.

(This has actually happened with a different former groupie. Heh.)

― masonic boom (kate), Thursday, 31 August 2006 15:38 (seventeen years ago) link

Would've been even better if it had been her signing Benjamins arse that she lusts after.

― pfunkboy (Kerr), Thursday, 31 August 2006 15:40 (seventeen years ago) link

...I'm trying to think if there could have been an overlap. But I think Benjamin was being teenaged in Dallas when I was making Kraut Hop in NYC. By the time he moved to NYC, I was back in the UK. Sigh.

― masonic boom (kate), Thursday, 31 August 2006 15:40 (seventeen years ago) link

Maybe he was in the UK on a school trip..

― pfunkboy (Kerr), Thursday, 31 August 2006 15:42 (seventeen years ago) link

There *was* that adorable red-headed 17 year old groupie in NYC, but his name wasn't Benjamin, it was J@r3d...

― masonic boom (kate), Thursday, 31 August 2006 15:43 (seventeen years ago) link

Rebecchi?

― pfunkboy (Kerr), Thursday, 31 August 2006 15:46 (seventeen years ago) link

Eh?

Sorry, I'm lost in a reverie here.

Maybe this is why being in a band is no fun any more. I don't get groupies any more. I can't remember the last time a cute red-headed boy asked me to sign his chest.

― masonic boom (kate), Thursday, 31 August 2006 15:48 (seventeen years ago) link

Pfff, I have never once had the merest suggestion of a groupie. All I ever got was ppl asking me things like "where did you get your mellotron samples from" and suchlike ;_;

― Norman Phay (Pashmina), Thursday, 31 August 2006 15:49 (seventeen years ago) link

Hahahaha. Thats why Kate hasn't been in a prog band.

― pfunkboy (Kerr), Thursday, 31 August 2006 15:51 (seventeen years ago) link

*gags*

― vom, Thursday, 31 August 2006 15:52 (seventeen years ago) link

I haven't just played in prog bands, Kerr.
