and no alex i’m not even gonna ask you first, that’s how much i take your friendship for granted
DAR1A YOU HAVE COME TO THE RIGHT PLACE
whoa dudes that cow, I’m still on the cow
my records are out of town though! i will have to get them sometime. nothing all that rare i think but some stuff i haven’t listened to since i left college.. hey are the verlaines good? i have a verlaines record and never been able to play it, i am nearly sure it is “bird dog,” that one is hard to find
oh yeah the cow! google image search: “vache punk,” you get all sorts of crazy stuff
yeah i like teh verlaines all right! def. 2nd tier NZ stuff but don’t let that put you off. i’ve been rockin the bats pretty obsessively for the last month and a half or so.
All of my records are with my dad, and they are all Bruce Springsteen anyways so I don’t think I need to digitize them at Alex’s house.
dudes this thread is too long (and i am too drungk) (and duke sux)
i do want to digitize this one, a couple of the last songs aren’t on any of my CDs —>
1985 “A Collection”, a.k.a. ‘Best and Rarest’, contents:
Blast Off/The Hair Shirt/King Ink/Junkyard/Big Jesus Trashcan/ Release The Bats/Blundertown/Kathy’s Kisses/Ho Ho(here it is sung by Nick Cave)/ The Friend Catcher (alternate version)/ Scatterbrain/The Plague
and ‘coachmen’ lp, it’s a rerelease i stole from college radio station, thurston’s first band.. it’s ok, i liked it at the time
Jon is now texting me ‘Valhalla I am coming,’ do I:
A) text him the next line of the song (turn to page 10)
B) text him ‘RIP never forget’ (turn to page 23)
C) text him ‘BOXCAR NO NO NO’ (turn to page 78)
#@#(*&!*(!&(@&*#$$%$ 78 78 78 78!!!!
I have a feeling that is going to take a bit of a while to do on my 80 year old phone.
Verlaines are awesome! Only 2nd tier if you like yr NZ pop very poppy — the Vs are rockier and often a mess but genius. I have Juvenalia, which I’m very fond of even tho I know Bird Dog is the kollector’s choice.
hm ok maybe i need to relisten because that sounds right up my alley
I know, I love the Bats too, but Verlaines are way different. Esp like “Angela” off Juvenalia.
my recollections are based on two or three years-ago college radio listening, so i’ll have to check em out again. thanks!
All I wanna do is drink beer for breakfast
All I wanna eat is them BBQ chips
All I want is someone just to try to protect us
You can try but you’d never wanna try to defend us
Hey, well I’m broke
But I’m gonna pay for some rum
Sometimes you feel like trouble, sometimes you feel down
Then you don’t want to walk and talk about Jesus
You just want to see his face
fwiw I am not still awake because of drinking, i am working b/c a certain project was supposed to launch in the AM but the server is throwing errors again so i’m guessing that’s not going to happen
they do not pay me enough for this #()*&$!!$@!@#

WHATS UP PROM
prom? ally’s eating raw chicken?
YOU NERVOUS PETE?
wtf
“LOOKING FORWARD TO LUNCH, PETE!”
ohhh lunch is today! dude, don’t eat raw chicken!
DUDE DON’T FREAK OUT OK? DON’T FREAK OUT, GIRLS DON’T LIKE IT WHEN DUDES FREAK OUT.
oh I forgot about that, I suck, sorry!! no nervous, it’ll be totally fun. also zr otm
YEAH BE SURE TO NOT TALK ABOUT YOURSELF THE WHOLE TIME JUST BE YOUR USUAL AWESOME SELF
see the theory i’m operating under here is that if we freak him out enough now, by the time he actually goes to lunch he’ll be relatively calm.
srsly tho bro it’s cool, you’re gonna have fun, you guys’ll be banging by 1:30.
im listening to belle and sebastian to get amped
also please make this an FA song, thxs
DUDE DON’T FREAK OUT OK? DON’T FREAK OUT, GIRLS DON’T LIKE IT WHEN DUDES FREAK OUT.
dude who the hell has sex at 1:30 in the afternoon. if you’d said 2, i’d buy it, but 1:30?
he should probably be back at work by 2!
The french, famous for post prandial nookie.
where should i suggest we meet?
your place
someplace that says you are suave, mature idividual with impeccable taste. is there a chuck e. cheese nearby?
in yr lobby, then walk to jvgrn?
17th & K burrito cart
no i would pick an alley somewhere—chicks like dark alleys!
what the hell guys, you are all behaving like you are corny dads.
tell her to meet you at a strip club. also tell her you eat lunch there everyday. it will impress the hell out of her.
hey, i just noticed i’m still otto midnight over here! awesome!
Camelot is very conveniently located, true.
FINE ALLY, AS AN ASIAN WOMAN TELL PETE WHAT TO DO
Tell her to meet you at jvgrn!! This should be self-explanatory!
start picking up other girls JUST IN CASE
also alex OTM!
She might not show, so if you’ve picked up another girl along the way, hey you aren’t stood up.
whatever you do, pete, don’t listen to any of us!
otm
Tell her to meet you at jvgrn!! This should be self-explanatory!
— Allyzay heard you got beat up in a club. (garance8...), February 12th, 2007. (Allyzay Eisenschefter)
^^^^ possibly the best advice, but i suggested “between wasabi and firehook,” which is code for “in front of my office.” O WELL FAILURE
the thing is that if she meets you early and realized you just told her to come all the way to your office so you didn’t have to like walk at all, you look lazy. so you are going to have to now leave early, to make sure she doesn’t know until AFTER the date.
tell her to please step in to your office, this is yr ticket to pre-prandial sex
no no its really on the way ill draw a picture.
i hope you made her a mix cd already
Did you make known your fuck want?
you should give her that one we listened to on the way to chapel hill, where every other track was a sun city girls song.
so the secret here is that we’re trying to ensure that pete doesn’t get laid, right.
yeah seriously pete STEP AWAY FROM THE INTERNETS until after the date so we don’t fuck it up!
yeah you’re fine, dude! don’t sweat it.
second date, dude
I think my phoner interview went pretty good guys! too bad my cell died last night and I had to do it in the middle of the ops floor but wvs nobody’s around today anyway.
five... four.. three... two... one.. RETROFIRE
five.. four... three.. two... one... RETROFIRE
is that a map of all the weirdo freak colleges in the USA
oh no you had to do a phone interview? sorry i kept you up all night :\
ps since you hadn’t posted on the board yet, i assumed you had died on the way to work btw.
that is the map to use when she goes overseas and you see she logged into myspace but didn’t e-mail you yet.
is that a gr4h4m joke?
“Patsy’s corner”
it is if you want it to be :D
should I or should I not fly to a faraway place to murder someone?
^^^this thread will tell you everything you need to know to prepare for your date
Yay TOMBOT! It is ilx interview day! Mine is at 1:00! Let us rock all these interviews!
my favorite part of that map btw is the tramps in the railroad car
haha pete should get her to do the RETROFIRE countdown with him in the restaurant, as a test of character, and ability to countdown to retrofire in sync with him, it is an important thing in a relationship
Pete’s a freak
He likes the girls with the boom
He once got busy in a Java Green bathroom
greatest DVD cover ever btw
I’m sad the tramps in the railroad car weren’t labeled “tramps in BOXCAR”
pete needs to get that NASA Exposition dude to narrate his date for us.
That guy’s job pretty much ruled
BTW I would just like to point out that, after watching 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea for the first time, I don’t believe Captain Nemo was really “showing people his submarine”!!
gotta say i’m partial to umbrella man, who knows wtf was going on there.
Pete’s Lunch Date IMAX feature!
MY SUBMARINES
LET ME SHOW YOU THEM
kirk douglas was such an asshole in that movie
aw man when i was a kid i thought it was “20k leaves under the sea”
