I don't think I'm going to post to this board any more.

It's kind of worse than not having any ILX at all. :-(

Er, what? I'm unspecifically unpleasant to everyone from time to time :-) Where exactly am I being unpleasant to you?

You said it's OK not to get what you meant by Mog-Speed if you aren't a Plan B reader as you wouldn't be expected to know who Mogwai and GYBE are and that people who read Plan B who know who they are would get what you were talking about; I suggested that I know who they both are but still would have no clue what you're on about, therefore I now believe myself to be stupider than yr average Plan B reader.

There's a real sub on here now. We can ask him!

I want to hear some mogadon-speed.

Or moog-speed.

nu_onimo (nu_onimo), Wednesday, 1 November 2006 17:00 (seventeen years ago) link

I can confirm that ailsa is occasionally unpleasant to people other than kate

nu_onimo (nu_onimo), Wednesday, 1 November 2006 17:01 (seventeen years ago) link

Oh fuck off you.

:-)

ailsa_xx (ailsa_xx), Wednesday, 1 November 2006 17:02 (seventeen years ago) link

Typcial sub's answer: Everybody's wrong! Mog-speed is utterly confusing -- although it might not have been in context, though I'd be surprised, hence po-fu jab -- and the sub shouldn't have changed it to his best guess at what it did mean.

Pls don't leave Kate!

stet (stet), Wednesday, 1 November 2006 17:06 (seventeen years ago) link

We won't leave Kate!

HI DERE.

g000blar, Friday, 24 November 2006 09:51 (seventeen years ago) link

Morning, people. I am cheery, after a rather nice phone call last night, just sitting for a couple of hours chatting away to someone I don't know well enough.

Forest Pines (ForestPines), Friday, 24 November 2006 10:17 (seventeen years ago) link

Pocket Bikes? You'd need some serious HammerPants to fit a 49cc engine in your pocket.

nu_onimo (nu_onimo), Friday, 24 November 2006 10:23 (seventeen years ago) link

Ooh, I hadn't noticed we were being spammed.

Forest Pines (ForestPines), Friday, 24 November 2006 10:24 (seventeen years ago) link

Man oh man, why is ILX down today of all days? I might have to do some work. Bah. Though I can't because our network is down! Argh!

I am happy today, though. It is Friday. It is payday and I HAVE BOUGHT NEW BOOTS!!! They are not quite as exciting as the Boots of Sex - these are more like every day office boots. Brown chelsea boots with buckles on. Oh yes.

masonic boom (kate), Friday, 24 November 2006 10:52 (seventeen years ago) link

ILX being down is only a small part of NOTHING FCKING WORKING RIGHT AT ALL TODAY. Ahem.

g0000blar, Friday, 24 November 2006 11:01 (seventeen years ago) link

The entire interweb is down, and now I can't get into my database again.

However, I have to have my employment contract meeting today. And I'm going to cross all sorts of things out and make sure I get my flexitime put in.

And Gardening Leave. I want to know what I have to do to get that, it's awesome.

Finally! I got to a good part in The Mill On The Floss. Only took 2/3 of the novel.

masonic boom (kate), Friday, 24 November 2006 11:03 (seventeen years ago) link

I'm going to see Lenny Henry at lunchtime. Hey, it's cheap and very close (across the road).

M Grout (Mark Grout), Friday, 24 November 2006 11:17 (seventeen years ago) link

Get him to say "Katanga my friends!"

nu_onimo (nu_onimo), Friday, 24 November 2006 11:23 (seventeen years ago) link

OK, I just had my meeting and had to get them to put the Flexitime IN MY CONTRACT so no one can change it in the future because right now it's only ever been an oral agreement.

They may not be able to back date my pension, though. Bah.

Ah, I have finally figured out a way to properly eliminate bad B's and P's in Cubase, hurrah. (I should really make a pop screen.) T's though, are a problem, especially if you're dealing with sibillant Home Counties girls.

masonic boom (kate), Friday, 24 November 2006 11:26 (seventeen years ago) link

It's the time of the season for boo-oots!

your kisses are wasted on mitya, Friday, 24 November 2006 11:56 (seventeen years ago) link

It is a small consolation for not having either a record contract or a pointy nosed guitarist.

masonic boom (kate), Friday, 24 November 2006 11:59 (seventeen years ago) link

I think it is time for some lugubrious art:

http://www.sutropark.com/pix/reni-sebastian.jpg

I am wanting to paint again. But when on earth would I find the time?

masonic boom (kate), Friday, 24 November 2006 12:30 (seventeen years ago) link

(Or the nekkid boys to pose for me?)

I want a pair of Ugg boots, but they're so expensive :(

C J (C J), Friday, 24 November 2006 12:45 (seventeen years ago) link

Kate just wants to paint a naked Benjamin Curtis, admit it!

pfunkboy (Kerr), Friday, 24 November 2006 12:47 (seventeen years ago) link

You're a couple of crushes behind the time, Kerr, but...

Doesn't have to be naked, either. I like the challenging folds of soft clothing.

God, I'm turning into the female equivalent of one of those old pervs who take photos of young girls they can never hope to pull. Sigh.

Clark's boot sale, CJ! OK, not Ugg, but I was happily surprised.

masonic boom (kate), Friday, 24 November 2006 12:50 (seventeen years ago) link

Ooh! I wonder if the Clark's outlet store at Bicester Village has an EVEN CHEAPER THAN THEIR SHOPS sale!!! I must go .....

C J (C J), Friday, 24 November 2006 12:52 (seventeen years ago) link

Is that what "lugubrious" means?

Forest Pines (ForestPines), Friday, 24 November 2006 13:05 (seventeen years ago) link

Well maybe you can get someone to ask PWB to pose naked for you and you can slip him a viagra...

pfunkboy (Kerr), Friday, 24 November 2006 13:14 (seventeen years ago) link

Kate, I think I sent you another YSI last night. Did you get it?

pfunkboy (Kerr), Friday, 24 November 2006 13:20 (seventeen years ago) link

Lugubrious: exaggeratedly or affectedly mournful

I suppose I tend to mean it a wider sense, of just sort of.. well, Victorian and full-on, lucious darkness. Reclining on a velvet divan with hand to one's head going "oh woe is me, alas..." while smoking clove cigarettes and reading French poetry. I'm an ex goth, so of course I think lugubrious is a total compliment.

Hrmm, my email's been being funny, Kerr, I'll check if it went into the bulk box or something.

masonic boom (kate), Friday, 24 November 2006 13:24 (seventeen years ago) link

I sent you this. http://www.boomkat.com/item.cfm?id=24324

I doubt the other watercoolers would be interested though.

pfunkboy (Kerr), Friday, 24 November 2006 13:47 (seventeen years ago) link

I have found it. I am downloading it.

AND I HAVE CARROT CAKE. I should probably get offline before the hypoglycaemic fit commences. Wah-hey.

masonic boom (kate), Friday, 24 November 2006 13:49 (seventeen years ago) link

SUNNO)))-worshippers alert! 1/2 of that drone metal behemoth, our pal Stephen O'Malley (who has also piloted or participated in such units as Khanate, Burning Witch, Ginnungagap, Teeth Of The Lions Rule The Divine, Thorr's Hammer, Fungal Hex, Lotus Eaters, etc.) has travelled to Europe to collaborate with Austrian experimental digital noise artist Peter "Pita" Rehberg! They're calling themselves KTL because the music they made is to be the soundtrack to some sort of stage piece called Kindertotenlieder by performance artist Gisele Vienne and novelist Dennis Cooper ("Closer") due to debut at a festival in France next year. Judging from the music, not to mention the people involved, we imagine it's gonna be beautiful, but also somehow disturbing and dark... This cd certainly is. It starts off with the 24 minute drone "Estranged", blissful and spooky piece that builds towards its end to noisier heights, threatening the storms to come on this album. And yes, the four parts of "Forest Floor" that take up the main, middle part of the disc are a harrowing journey indeed, into a buzzing, claustrophobic realm of dangerous digital sonics and heavy drone, like SUNNO)))'s lugubrious riffage mixed with the glitchy crunch of Pita -- which is what it is, of course! Not for the faint of heart. Part four, in particular, sounds like a doomed prop engine airplane rumbling over a dark forest landscape from some black metal album cover, at night... Finally O'Malley and Rehberg wind things up with the quieter (but still creepy) 13 minutes of "Snow", a softly pulsing, detailed improv exploration of lowercase sounds... Very nice! Let's hope KTL isn't just a one-off collaboration, we'd like to hear more from these two! Their mastery of minimalist ambient music, electronic glitchology and Earthy guitar sludge make a fine sipping brew.

That lugubrious word again!

pfunkboy (Kerr), Friday, 24 November 2006 13:51 (seventeen years ago) link

Things which are lugubrious - a list.

-Gothic and neo-gothic architecture
-Victorian interiors
-Beethoven Symphonies
-Pre-Raphaelite paintings
-Consumptive young maidens
-The novels of Sir Walter Scott (and possibly Dickens)
-Bauhaus albums

masonic boom (kate), Friday, 24 November 2006 13:57 (seventeen years ago) link

Sir Walter Scott is a distant relative to me apparently.
One of my mums aunts searched the family tree for my grans family and completed it just before she died. My gran should have a copy of it somewhere i'll need to ask her.

pfunkboy (Kerr), Friday, 24 November 2006 13:59 (seventeen years ago) link

Blimey! You could be lugubrious by association! ;-)

masonic boom (kate), Friday, 24 November 2006 13:59 (seventeen years ago) link

I just love saying the word "lugubrious". Luh-GOOOOOOO-bri-us. It just sounds like what it is. What's the word for that? Onomatipaeic or something?

Maybe that's where your name is derived from, Gooblar!

masonic boom (kate), Friday, 24 November 2006 14:02 (seventeen years ago) link

Ooh, I feel quite funny now.

I think I've realised - it's not actually the carrot cake that makes me go all ADHD, it's the *icing*. I felt fine until I ate the icing and now I feel like I'm drunk.

masonic boom (kate), Friday, 24 November 2006 14:03 (seventeen years ago) link

Does that mean you're going to post some benjamin pics and lust over him?

pfunkboy (Kerr), Friday, 24 November 2006 14:06 (seventeen years ago) link

Nah, I just feel like getting in a play slap-fite with some noizeboarders. ;-P

masonic boom (kate), Friday, 24 November 2006 14:08 (seventeen years ago) link

Oh, alright, just the one...

http://myspace-765.vo.llnwd.net/00954/56/75/954675765_l.jpg

Then I'm going to make faces at my colleagues who are still stuck in their debtors meeting. I just heard that 91% of our debtors are new! Hurrah!

masonic boom (kate), Friday, 24 November 2006 14:10 (seventeen years ago) link

I got The Wire today. Smiths got it in and my dad picked it up for me when he was down the town.
The Melvins are on the cover. Written by Phil Freeman.

pfunkboy (Kerr), Friday, 24 November 2006 14:17 (seventeen years ago) link

Grrrr, I'm irritated by people who don't understand what a "remix" is.

No, you cannot just take one of my songs, rewrite it and then have my band perform it your way. In fact, I'm mildly insulted by that proposition.

pfunkboy (Kerr), Friday, 24 November 2006 14:22 (seventeen years ago) link

Ugh. Yes.

Just found another place where he's been slagging me off. Just fuck off and die, OK, f*ckwit? And take your comment box and stick it up your woo-woo.

masonic boom (kate), Friday, 24 November 2006 14:24 (seventeen years ago) link

(Actually, I just realised that's kinda sick. He looks like a younger version of *my* brother there.)
