He's also really really sweet. And he was a fan of the Lollies, which automatically makes him cool! :-P

masonic boom (kate), Friday, 1 December 2006 15:11 (seventeen years ago) link

Is that you, Kate, next the cute bassist?

I hope Johnny likes Joanna, because Beth is MINE. (Or whoever's - has she had the baby yet?)

Thanks for the bank info. What a nightmare. I need to find a non-US, non-Russian bank. (And no, I am not money laundering. Much.)

What's everyone doing at the weekend? That's a suitable water-cooler question.

Me :

Tonight - Quiz + Booze
Tomorrow - Christmas shoppin' (a.m), Rugby if knee recovers, it should do(p.m), cinema maybe (evening)
Sunday - helping kids with homework, cooking, playing guitar if time.

Dr.C (Dr.C), Friday, 1 December 2006 15:15 (seventeen years ago) link

That was me, next to the cute bassist. :-(

What am I doing this weekend?

Tonight - working.
Tomorrow - Shimura Curves rehearsal! In a STUDIO! (if the ceiling doesn't leak and Dave Q doesn't forget)
Sunday - MULLING party! Hurrah!

masonic boom (kate), Friday, 1 December 2006 15:17 (seventeen years ago) link

I hope g00blar got my email about mulling.

Ed (dali), Friday, 1 December 2006 15:19 (seventeen years ago) link

Apparently tonight I am drinking beer, as my bipolar friend has decided today that she does not hate me (sure to change shortly after seeing me, no doubt).

Tomorrow I should really try pricing a synth as I think that is what I will get myself from Xmas and I would like to be certain it's cheaper in London than here.

Sunday I am meeting a real estate agent.

None of these days am I working. (Yay!)

substitute, mitya for him (mitya), Friday, 1 December 2006 15:19 (seventeen years ago) link

I'm gaming this weekend.

teh_kit (g-kit), Friday, 1 December 2006 15:20 (seventeen years ago) link

tonight - gig, hopefully, dunno which one. tomorrow - as kate, then someone's birthday party somewhere off old st. sunday - mulling party & barndancing yay!

emsk ( emsk ), Friday, 1 December 2006 15:20 (seventeen years ago) link

Practice & Dodgy Sci Fi Film Night tonight,
playing with mellotron tomorrow, late show at cinema tomorrow night
sunday is free but will probably involve giving a driving lesson and a walk in the country somewhere (assuming the weather is okay)

tissp! (tissp!), Friday, 1 December 2006 15:20 (seventeen years ago) link

What synth are you going to get? (buy a nord, they are red)

Tell me which gig, emsk

Ed (dali), Friday, 1 December 2006 15:21 (seventeen years ago) link

Gooblar! Come mulling! Bring K! Do not bring Jim if he wants to be a poo-poo head. Also I should remind Matthew and the Payne Sisters that they are to come mulling.

masonic boom (kate), Friday, 1 December 2006 15:22 (seventeen years ago) link

i'm also gaming, in between christmas shopping (for my tree too), cooking fancy things, and hopefully if my mind is up for it a little artwork and xmas card making.

Ste (fuzzy), Friday, 1 December 2006 15:23 (seventeen years ago) link

Also tonight: hoping the police aren't around to notice that I completely failed to change my tax disc this morning

tissp! (tissp!), Friday, 1 December 2006 15:25 (seventeen years ago) link

As hott as JN is (and thx to emsk, I approve of her skewed folk whimsy, cheers emsk) I find it vaguely disconcerting that people can "name my type". I don't know what that says about me, or even people who were successfully naming my type.

Marianne (and mitya), apparently HSBC have changed a lot in the last 5 years, so you should be fine. The account you'll get is rather basic (No overdraft, basic ATM card, that kinda thing) but it'll be there.

I worse a 3-pc suit into work today for no reason other than I wanted tom, and even if I say so myself, I look pretty damn good. This waistcoat is getting quite hot now, but I'm too psyched by my own suaveness to take it off.

Johnney B has zeros off the line (stigoftdumpilx), Friday, 1 December 2006 15:29 (seventeen years ago) link

I have an eye for beauty, and a head for patterns. That's all it says.

3-piece suits *are* hott. And hot.

masonic boom (kate), Friday, 1 December 2006 15:31 (seventeen years ago) link

Yes, remind them, and mr DC should you run into them. Johnny B, come to London on Sunday. I want to see Matthew do a dosey do.

Ed (dali), Friday, 1 December 2006 15:33 (seventeen years ago) link

My weekend plans:

Tonight: a quiet night in cos I'm knackered, not getting home from the photoshoot until 1am last night.
Tomorrow: off to Donna Nook to look at the newborn seal pups
Tomorrow night: a cosy night in with DVDs
Sunday: Sheffield munch

Forest Pines (ForestPines), Friday, 1 December 2006 15:36 (seventeen years ago) link

but a tacit understanding that it goes no further

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

;p

tissp! (tissp!), Friday, 1 December 2006 15:37 (seventeen years ago) link

I have myspaced him about it. I shall remind the Payne SisX0rs at rehearsal tomorrow.

x-post, keep your nose out of my blog!

masonic boom (kate), Friday, 1 December 2006 15:38 (seventeen years ago) link

My nose is out of everyone's blogs

Ed (dali), Friday, 1 December 2006 15:39 (seventeen years ago) link

I was talking to TISSP!

But maybe that's the difference. I *know* that TISSP! has a girlfriend, and that she's lovely and I heartily approve of and like her. So I know that it's So Not Gonna Happen.

PBW is kinda like a loose cannon WRT his Situation, and perhaps that would make the same sort of thing completely dangerous in a way in a way that it just isn't with TISSP!, as lovely and pointy-nosed as he is.

masonic boom (kate), Friday, 1 December 2006 15:43 (seventeen years ago) link

I posted a very good shaggy dog story to my blog, recently.

Well, I say "very good". I'm biased because I wrote it. In length-to-crapness-of-punchline ratio, it's very good, I reckon.

Forest Pines (ForestPines), Friday, 1 December 2006 15:45 (seventeen years ago) link

i would think pointy noses were welcome in your blog, kate :)

how cool is tissp for playing with a mellotron over the weekend!

i am off, ladies and gents. have a one-der-ful one!

substitute, mitya for him (mitya), Friday, 1 December 2006 15:45 (seventeen years ago) link

Yeah, but you never post the PUNCHLINE to your shaggy dog story.

(Unless you have done so in the hour or so since I read your blog this morning.)

...or maybe that's the point.

I've decided to keep my PBW navelgazing on my blog and out of this thread, so I apologise for that above post.

x-post bye Mitya! Have a good one!

masonic boom (kate), Friday, 1 December 2006 15:46 (seventeen years ago) link

Sorry if I upset you, Kate :(

tissp! (tissp!), Friday, 1 December 2006 15:49 (seventeen years ago) link

You didn't upset me! I was teasing.

I wouldn't put stuff on my blog if I minded people reading it. I just wanted to keep it there, not here. Cause I'm sure everyone is quite bored of my pathetic (lack of) lovelife by now.

masonic boom (kate), Friday, 1 December 2006 15:52 (seventeen years ago) link

Yeah, but you never post the PUNCHLINE to your shaggy dog story.

The punchline is the very last sentence of part three.

Forest Pines (ForestPines), Friday, 1 December 2006 15:55 (seventeen years ago) link

Ah, phew!

I would've commented on yr blog but I have no blogger account so thought it easier to post here!

tissp! (tissp!), Friday, 1 December 2006 15:56 (seventeen years ago) link

Bye Mitya!

pfunkboy (Kerr), Friday, 1 December 2006 15:56 (seventeen years ago) link

(OK, I've changed my blog settings - I just turned off anonymous posts because I got sick of having to delete crap from wankers and trolls.)

I still don't get it, FP. (As I said on your blog, my browser must have displayed the cached version when I looked at it this morning. It's always doing that.)

masonic boom (kate), Friday, 1 December 2006 15:58 (seventeen years ago) link

I am free Sunday (I think). Mulling? Eh?

haha pwn3d

tissp! (tissp!), Friday, 1 December 2006 16:04 (seventeen years ago) link

I never buy wine at Threshers! Ugh!

masonic boom (kate), Friday, 1 December 2006 16:05 (seventeen years ago) link

Champagne then?

pfunkboy (Kerr), Friday, 1 December 2006 16:07 (seventeen years ago) link

To be honest, Kate, it's not that funny, so you're not missing much ;-)

Forest Pines (ForestPines), Friday, 1 December 2006 16:08 (seventeen years ago) link

Champagne has to be at least £50 a bottle before it starts getting palatable. Good wine can be had in threashers for cheapness anyway, so that voucher that I got passed may come in handy.

Johnney B has zeros off the line (stigoftdumpilx), Friday, 1 December 2006 16:08 (seventeen years ago) link

I dont' actually like champagne. I know I'm a weirdo, but I don't.

I tend to buy all my wine at Sainsburys - or Waitrose if I can get to one! - anyway.

masonic boom (kate), Friday, 1 December 2006 16:10 (seventeen years ago) link

The best wine I had from dodgy wine shop had an entirely white label with "Vineyard X" written on it. Classic.

tissp! (tissp!), Friday, 1 December 2006 16:10 (seventeen years ago) link

No you're not a weirdo, or if you are me and my dad are as well (although bruno paillard rosé is quite palatable), bring on the red wine.

Ed (dali), Friday, 1 December 2006 16:12 (seventeen years ago) link

Apropo of nothing, hotttttt boy crumpled on the floor:

masonic boom (kate), Friday, 1 December 2006 16:13 (seventeen years ago) link

I don't like any wine :) (or indeed anything alcoholic. Can't drink the damn stuff apart from 2 sips at most.)

pfunkboy (Kerr), Friday, 1 December 2006 16:13 (seventeen years ago) link

Lots of people don't like champagne, it's perfectly common. Apparently Stephen Fry is allergic to champagne.

And google image search is rubbish:

Your search - pointy-nosed girls - did not match any documents.

Suggestions:

* Make sure all words are spelled correctly.
* Try different keywords.
* Try more general keywords.
* Try fewer keywords.

YOU DISTURB AND CONFUSE ME, SIR

tissp! (tissp!), Friday, 1 December 2006 16:14 (seventeen years ago) link

...though Josh is also looking quite hott in an Austenian brooding sort of way, and god, Brandon's nose looks pointed there.

I'm glad I'm not alone in my champagne disliking ways. I can just about drink Moet about once a year on New Years, but that's as far as it gets.

masonic boom (kate), Friday, 1 December 2006 16:14 (seventeen years ago) link

I am okay with Champagne, but if I got rich I'd rather spend it on bourbon

tissp! (tissp!), Friday, 1 December 2006 16:15 (seventeen years ago) link

Hurrah!

On Feburary 20, 2007, Jesu will release their second full-length, Conqueror, through Hydra Head. As the immediate successor to industro-pioneers Godflesh, the trio, which consists of Justin K. Broadrick, sometime Swans drummer Ted Parsons and ex-Cable Regime bassist Diarmuid Dalton, has created their most beautifully epic album yet, full of catchy hooks, clean vocals and a bunch of other sounds not typically associated with Broadrick or Jesu. In a recent interview with CMJ, Broadrick said, "It’s really pop. It’s way more pop than, say, the first actual Jesu album, which is actually like a black hole of depression. But it’s still very emotional and very depressing."

Jesu worked hard to make this album more of a "band" outing, and ended up with eight songs that total about 60 minutes. "It’s not like the first album, [which] by my own admission, drags intentionally," says Broadrick. "The first album was pushed to the max at 75 minutes and, intentionally, I wanted it to be use it as you wish. But for those who listen from start to finish that’s fine, but I wouldn’t[laughs]. But this album you can take in one session, I think, and it’s very melodramatic."

Broadrick is also quite proud that "there’s some quite short songs on there as well"—At least two or three songs at five and a half minutes. "I think there’s only one song that’s around 10," he says.

In other Jesu news, Broadrick has said that a US tour is possibly—finally!—in the works on his blog saying, "Jesu WILL hopefully be touring the U.S.A. beginning late Feb ending early April 2007 in support of the Conqueror album release in mid Feb 2007. More info soon... " Also coming soon are a slew of other Jesu releases, inclulding a Hydra Head/Temporary Residence limited-edition split release between Jesu (Broadrick only) and Eluvium, a Jesu and Battle Of Mice split for Robotic Empire and a limited Jesu 12-inch EP with two songs, "Sun Down" and "Sun Rise" for Aurora Borealis. Broadrick has also started a group called Grey Machine with former Head Of David collaborator Dave Cochrane.

Tracklist For Conqueror:

1. Conqueror
2. Old Year
3. Transfigure
4. Weightless & Horizontal
5. Medicine
6. Brighteyes
7. Mother Earth
8. Stanlow

pfunkboy (Kerr), Friday, 1 December 2006 16:16 (seventeen years ago) link

Right, it's Toxicity time.

tissp! (tissp!), Friday, 1 December 2006 16:16 (seventeen years ago) link

Cool, Kerr!

TISSP, bourbon is onsale at Sainsburys, 2 for £25 - should I stock up?

I should really do some work. I haven't even started Giant Johnny yet.
