what’s the good word, dudes
I’m the only one here, aren’t I.
ned are you still coming to melbourne at the end of the year??
hen fap
er i mean hi
vashti tour in feb!
i’m here.
I quite liked vashti’s last album! although still haven’t heard the “classic” old one, roffle.
I was waiting for this thread to emerge just so I can inform the world that I watched my first entire episode of Neighbours post-Izzy last night and enjoyed it like times of yore. Grrr that Paul! Already eyeing off some new piece of crumpet before he’s even put the ring on poor Lynny’s finger! And Janelle’s new boss, what a creep and what a ludicrous set of mutton chops! Admirably over-acted by someone that knows they’ve only got until the end of the week before it’s time to enter the mausoleum of dastardly Neighbours villans.
I waiting for it be revived to smugly drop into conversation the fact that my house is now air conditioned throughout.
Christ did anyone just see that dreadful Simpsons episode where Marge and Homer become drunks? WTF was that?!
Naw, I was watching reality show trash on cable.
hello spamspanker, and other anzacs!
I stopped watching that Simpsons ep as soon as they got to “George Lucas’” place. Booyah!
how is it possible there’s been two episodes of futurama recently i don’t think i’ve seen? confusing.
seen before i mean
HAHAH, NOT SIMPSONS EPISODE, A DOCUMENTARY ABOUT YOU AND NICK, HAHAHAHAHA
Hahah real funny dude. Nick doesnt even drink!
(except when we socialise, which is like, once in a blue moon)
Which Futuramas were ones you hadn’t seen Jim?
ohh i can’t remember now :( the devil’s hands one seemed new to me but i had faint recollections of seeing it before...
I was drunk by midday today!
(Celebrating end of study, so it’s alright.)
I was gonna say, what (besides a cigarette) is in Nick’s hands whenever we get together for a bevvie?
I could totally go for some brews today, though.
my fridge is full of booze at the moment, thanks to generous musicians. dangerous.
In the 30s in tha ADL today, so them lunchtime pints was a nice treat indeed to celebrate the fact that I DON’T HAVE TO GO TO ANY MORE LECTURES, TAKE ANY MORE EXAMS AND WRITE ANY MORE ASSIGNMENTS BOOOOOOOYAH
Mikey: Nick does drink when out, just wine usually. He doesn’t even get drunk much anymore though, he’s always complaining his stomach is upset. Dude’s a stick insect, he needs BEERS.
Jim: “Devils hands are idle playthings” is the last ever ep. Was the other one maybe “bender should not be allowed on TV”? I love that one, it has Black Flag in it! =)
Oh also: funniest thing in the universe: Nick really drunk. Seeing six foot five of skinnyboy falling over sideways with a crash is pretty hilarious =)
Devil’s Hands was the last ep!
YOU SHOULD KNOW THAT!!
nar i’ve seen the bender on tv one many a time. i should probably just buy the box set already
I thought you had them! Heh.
i’d been getting by on the fact that the local dvd store had all the separate discs for rental. i think they had all but one of the season 3 discs. handy.
did you listen to any mahogany yet trayce? you might dig them. they have a song on which the cocteaux daughter lucy bell guthrie sings.
drinking at desk
is she hot? (xp)
don’t know.. she’s 17 though! also here is scary pic of robin guthrie with ned
hey speaking of shoegazin’ did I mention that I snagged this 12“ with a v.v.v. rare remix on it? (so rare it’s going under an alias!)
I heard a rumour that if you look in the mirror and say ned’s name three times, he appears and shaves off your sideburns.
goodness. terrible pseudonym. is it any good?
it is basically “soon” but with a beefed-up bottom end and a drumbreak pinched from a westbam track. I really like it! it would shut the “loveless has no bass” whingers up, in any case.
WTF LucyBelle is 17?? NO FUCKING WAY. I AM NOT THAT OLD *cries*
fortunately she was born *before* i got into the cocteaux
Man, she even has an Myspace.
Thats it, I give up.
xCOCTEAUx
BTW ‘ave you got the Mahogany track then Jim? Would be interested to hear her vox.
emogaze xpost
have i got the mahogany track you ask.. well yes
shall post something when i get home
god could you imagine emogaze as a concept, they could just sigh and sob along with all the feedback rather than write lyrics
that sounds like an alarming amount of music i already own
hmm lucy belle looks more 13 than 17. i don’t think i’ll be passing any judgements on her attractiveness.

Cheers matey :D
so whats verdict?
I like the song :) Its interesting that she sounds nothing like her mam, but the production’s been done in what sounds like an attempt to make her sound like Liz (loads of doubletracking and flangeyness, I assume).
it was mixed by robin so he was probably just doing what he knows best!
Haha yeah I imagine so =)
Cocaine migrane medication mixed with beer is a helluva drug!

CRIKEY IS NOT REAL MEDIA I AM REAL MEEEEDIA
“Ladies and gentlemen, the gangsta crikey.com.au has arrived.”
Hahah that was such a grebt thing to hear happened :D Stupid old white man media—your time is UP! Pls to leave quietly.
the youtube of that farce absolutely made my day at work this morning. the laffs
dang computer monitor died this morning, lame. i note that you can’t really get CRTs anymore, probably a good thing. LCD time!!!
I can’t believe that I still got a CRT even through I got my new PC only this year.
Yes, I’m OLD SCHOOL but the LCD screens at campus makes made me cry.
lol vodka & red bull ist hueg
had to give up caffeine again
I have my first pr0n shoot tomorrow. I’m really nervous about it!
which would be more nerve wracking—being in front of or behind the camera?
What kind of pr0n? People sex0ring or people just posing nekkid?
girl wif toys
vag and anal
Vag AND Anal Toying?
Thrown in the deep end there.
sweet
Tell me about it. She’s a professional apparently and is proud to tell people she only one of two girls in Brisbane who does double anal action for money. Yay, where’s the scotchgard?!
Ah, one of those classy types.
Yeah, she’s from Florida and she rang up the morning talking so fast I couldn’t make out a word. I had to pretend I couldn’t hear her rather than tell her I couldn’t understand her.
You can’t really say your best mates until you’re both buried simultaneously in one of the two stretchiest bottoms in Brisbane.
for once i’m speechless
It’s so weird, my super religious mother doesn’t even seem phased by the idea.
She must be in huge demand from all the rugby and footy teams.
(Miss Double Anal I mean, not Kate’s mum)
four-week holiday as of today, duders
Yeah, my Mum isn’t big on double anal from what I can gather.
xpost
I...erm...uh...wha...
Less than a week after studies have finished and I’m BORED waiting for my US visa. Ended up designing half a dozen tour brochure front covers for my fictitious tour company today. A homebody should have been a graphic designer?
I am so busy now uni is done for the year. I hope I stay this busy and then I can justify never going back.
taxi driver just tried to run me over. hit my leg with the side of his bumper while i was crossing at pedestrian lights. bastard.
WTF. You ok?
oh yeah i was fine. dude was obviously a complete dipshit. it was only afterwards i realised i should have spat through his open window
More like get the guy’s plate, bribe the cops to get details, go around to guy’s place, smash car windows with crowbar.
KATE HOW WAS THE VAG AND ANAL??
i like the red curtain. wish my bum looked like that too.
...where did those hands come from?
Her boyfriend.
i’ll be there in the arvo..
I’ll lock u in.
what about
if everyone gives me $3 i’ll pretend to be all those bands
I don’t think you can pretend to be the BENDIGO FUNK BROTHERS, good sir!
you have not seen me slap bass
Whoa. My full name appeared. Jim, can you fix it?
I am a damn good kisser! God knows how, it’s certainly not from practice.
My brane must have known this somehow!
Note to Nick: not from actually snogging Ed! I swear!
i don’t have sandbox admin :( soz!
oh well. nobody’s googling me anyway.
(this is not true. I know that people google me. to find out if I’m a good kisser. So, people, the answer is yes!)
Another note of cheer—it’s only 1 day until the weekend, so soon you can put those kissing skills to good use. Go forth and pash young man.
sadly I cannot! I am busy doing non-kissing things on saturday and sunday.
Hmm. What occasions disallow kissing?
CERTAINLY NOT SEEING OUR SHOWS
Occasions where you’re totally surrounded by people you’d rather die than kiss, obviously!
work?
That too!
Why yes, that is true but what are you doing at work on a weekend?? Bah.
Maybe I should fly up to Sydney and fix Ed’s problem here!
well, gosh.
we’re a bit shit at this cheering up bizzo :(
i hope you’re having a sturdy brew
Hey come on, I offered snogs! Can’t do anymore than that!
i was restricting meself to cordial but this forgotten bottle of vodka has just sparked the idea of ‘special’ cordial
Jim, you do have sandbox admin! (on ile & ILM) I emailed you about it, Monday I think? must not have reached you.
Hi Pash!
it didn’t! but my usual electricsound login isn’t accepting my password for some reason and the reset emails aren’t getting there. i wonder if emails from this host are getting lost somewhere...
xpost
is that “tugboatonline” address good?
Hello Trayce! (sorry to but in on yr conversation here btw)
Not at all, we dont tell people what they can and can’t say, round these parts /meow.
it should be! fingers x’d
should be a message on its way to you, then. Thanks!
got it, thanks!
fixed your name ed!!
cheers, jim. you are one (1) legend.
UPDATES THEN!
I laid down teh law! I said “This is not acceptable. I have to have X, Y, Z or I have to make a contingency plan which might involve finding somewhere else” and it seemed like it was heard, so even if it’s not fixed at least I’m giving advance warning that I am fvcking off out of there.
Still no kissing. Well, _maybe_ Sunday, but not from where it’s wanted, of course. I sense a gigantically emo LJ post in the near future on that.
Poor Ed :(
srsly, the extent to which my life is a complete and total shambles is amazing. I have got myself in waaaaaaaaaaaay over my head in about 46 things and I want to go and live in a cave in the mountains for a bit.
goodness
tomorrow i have first paid recording session woo
stressed
Solo, ya?
will there be ‘air conditioning’
there’s a fan... erk
yeah i’ll be the sole engineer. five piece band, everything but vocals live. double erk.
at least they’re an awesome band so will sound great no matter how bad i screw up
Help, I am stuck in America with bogan housemates.
One of them checked out my iTunes and declared that it was “shit” and “full of bands that nobody has heard of” or “Adelaide bands” despite not having a single Adelaide band on it. Afterwards he proceeded to play quality musical acts like Wolfmother and The Living End. I made my protests but he then said “I was a poof” and that I should “listen to this awesome solo” on his Living End song because “how can you hate that?”
BY THE WAY, Is John Kosmina Gonna Have To Choke A Bitch?
Haha, you live with bogans.
I mean awww.
I DONT THINK YOU UNDERSTAND HOW AWESOME THE LIVING END SOLOS ARE
durutti column are from adelaide now?
I used to get shit like that too but instead of bands, bogans would say “do you live in CIVIC, you look like a CIVIC person”, like saying I somehow live in a shopping mall in the centre of Caberra was an insult. Baffling.
Vini Reilly used to cruise down Hindley Street in his Torana, don’t you know.
“i’m not from london, you know..”
By the way, dude pays me out for coming from Adelaide when he’s from HOPPERS CROSSING.
ahahahahaha
ahahahahahahahaha
HAHAHA. Oh my.
Wasn’t Hoppers Crossing in THE FLYING DOCTORS?
Stat and cross-check
Whoops, Coopers Crossing. Just as lame though yeah?
god, at least they had flying doctors at coopers crossing, hoppers has SFA
they have the poo farm, or is that werribee?
Yeah thats Werribee but close enough as makes no diff rilly. It all stinks.
oh it’s special cordial time again!!!
woo woo
p3bbles recording went great btw.. what an awesome band
special cordial? i could go a bit of that if i had more than approx 10c between me and starvation
GOod stuff Jim! Robin Guthrie-hood here you come! Or something.
Man. It is way too hot. I have pilfered the little fan we usually use either by the bed, or on the PC which overheats, and I have it pointing right at my face on the couch. With the blinds down, its bearable. I had to go out into the heat this morning and even at 9am it was poo.
the weather has gone haywire lately. it’s strangely cold in perth. i went to see jenny wilson last night at a festival gig and it rained on us!
oh it was the p3bbl3s! nice one. (xxxp)
I am sitting in front of the big fan I bought last month. it makes this house bearable!! ugh, such a hotbox.
a friend of mine has an air conditioner in their rental house. a jealous is me
We have air conditioning in two bedrooms and in my studio but it’s been incredibly mild today, so I just spent most of the day outside with the ducks.
do you eat duck eggs? i’m led to believe they’re awesome
They’re meant to be good for sponge cakes I think I read somewhere. More protien in the white or somesuch.
They’re not laying yet, but probably will eat them when they start. We have 2 ducks and a drake, so we better make sure they’ve not been fertilised. Ewwwwww
Darren just bought a Rush DVD. Somebody save me from this hell.
did rush ever have a big hit? i don’t know if i even have a clue what they sound like
The only Rush song I know is that one Fry is listening to when he plays space invaders in Futurama.
“I got a pocket full of quarters, my 2 liter bottle of Shasta—and my all-Rush mixtape”
It’s some tune that goes on about um, spaceships or space invaders. They sound like Yes. They’re supposed to be a bit terrible, unless you like that sort of overblown prog stuff.. oh wait. I forgot who I was saying that too hee *flees rapidly in other direction*.
haha
i think i’ve only heard one yes song (owner of a lonely heart). that kind of prog is unlikely to ever be my thing but i dig weirdass obscuro prog of the kind that came out on vertigo or deram
O that Rush song in Futurama is apaz called “Tom Sawyer”.
I actually like some old Yes stuff! The drummer in one of my friends old bands loved them and used to play “Roundabout” at rehersals, and I grew to like it, I did. “Owner of a Lonely Heart” is shite, but the older, actually-proggy stuff isnt too bad, if a little erm, baroque and frilly.
Oh noes, why does mongrels thread getting all Yessed out.
I said to Darren, “how can you listen to such overblown pompous crap?!” and he said, “The overblown pompousness is the main attraction!”.
Although, I must say, the blame really lies squarely with Guitar Hero.
Hahaha, they have Rush songs in Guitar Hero? Oh man.
Yup!
“Spirit Of The Radio”, people!
also! :(
And, what do teh peeps think of my HAT (see teh lj)! I need to know if it’s worth however much money it is.
“The Spirit Of Radio”, I mean, obviously.
I also have a neu hat. no photos of me in it, tho.
Your hat is hot, sir! Mind you I think you would look even BETTER in one of those ska style porkpie jobs. But yes—hats and you, totally work.
In other news—is it just me, or has KenC been pretending to be Lex for like the last 3 months?
possibly. it could also be gareth.
Its someone not-Lex, isnt it? They said as much on noiz and it seemed genuine, but who can tell anymore.
i don’t really pay much attention to their posts so i dunno
Man, I’m turning into jaymc arent I.
yep i reckon it’s gareth.
i don’t even know who lex and gareth are
Trayce, I have tried one of those types of hats and they just make me look like a member of the cunting Cat Empire, and that would never do.
Hahhaha :) No, I suppose it would not.
Also: :( :( :(
So did the kissing opp arise last Sunday? I got NO DAMN JOY. At least it is hump day and we can start sliding into next weekend. Yeeeeeeagh
woo
vashti was AWESOME
haha I was wondering if you were going to that after the anti-hipster comments!
there were plenty of hipsters (oh noe) but at least it was a respectful and enthusiastic crowd. they even rapturously applauded the solo songs by her two band members (which were pretty good even if one of them seemed to be a bit christian sounding)
Hey guys, my new roomie is from NZ!!!!
you’d hope that anyone going to see someone like that would be into it and not just going along to pose. still you never can tell with these fucks!!
JON MAKE LOTS OF SHEEP JOKES
Yeah Jon! And see how long it takes before roomie beats the snot out of you ;) PS hi dere.
PPS hugs n snogs for Ed.
You band types do it, I’m going to do it too...even though I know none of you can come:
swanky!
I’m actually incredibly nervous about it all.
We seem to have hit it off pretty well. He’s a swell dude.
Although 90% of his time is spent sucking bandwidth cybering with NZ GF on Skype!
does he eat fush and chups while watching vuticil lumet?
