I went home for a week during my university break to visit my family, have
several birthday celebration things, play a gig, what-have-you, and I get back
and there are over 2,000 new posts sitting here. Jesus. I've read about 300
of them so far, but I can't be bothered with the rest, so they get marked as
dead. Read. Yeah.

Anyway, after skimming through the posts, here are a few things I'd like to say:

Pitchfork Media sucks. Seriously.
Get a job and stop stealing Beatles records.
Travis are damnably boring.
Posting IM conversations is just . . . wrong.
Pyramid Song is not in 9/8. No, it's not.
Bones, meh, the Peter Pan bit is decent.

Oh, and here's something not related to the mountains of posts:

Today I watched an interview with Thom, one of the things he mentioned was
that Radiohead were offered the Fight Club soundtrack and should've accepted,
but didn't. Was interesting.

normally i'd fight you to the ends of the earth defending them, citing many examples
of how they're the best bunch of reviewers around, but since they gave vespertine a
measley 7.6 or so, i see no point in defending them.

therefore, i'll agree.

bah as much as i love the band, i can't hear that.. radiohead doing the
fight club soundtrack
dust brothers' beats were perfect.. the sounds of pure testosterone ..

i heard thom say in an interview that if there was one movie he wanted to do
a soundtrack for it would be terry gilliam's brazil
now *that* would have been a perfect match..

Eh, they have maybe two good reviewers, the rest have their fucking stupid

I will tell them that you killed me first. And that I'm a skeleton

Okay, so I've never actually stolen a Beatles record. I was thinking the
think, but failing to type the type. I'm sure you are all clear on what I

Bill Clinton, George Bush senior and George Bush junior are all sitting in a
bar. Clinton drinks half of his glass of beer.

George Bush senior says, 'That glass is half empty.'
Bill Clinton says, 'That glass is half full.'
George Bush junior says, 'I AM FAMOUS FOR MY STUPIDITY.'

I wrote that. I forget why, but I think it was because of the background
sounds, or drum machine, or your vocals, or all 3 that reminded me of Lost
Highway Soundtrack-->on Pumpkins aesthetic.

If that didn't make sense at all, then just know that it was a compliment.

That was very helpful. However it was clear Mr Bush was simply tampering
with his faulty ROBO NOSE. Oh, and it took about 45 minutes to get that
e-mail....but I forgive you because I love you.

Interesting tack . . . but I don't think so. I've seen President Nixon tampering
with his faulty ROBO NOSE, and he was using Allen keys and screwdrivers!
They killed him in the end.

Hum, sorry about that. I didn't realise times were so hard in the UK.

Everywhere I go, there are always kooky homosexuals and social deviants
waiting to harangue me! When will the madness end? I'd like to know.

You're special. Anyway, the only way to get rid of me is to shoot yourself

Seriously, have you seen some of those Presidential Noses? Nixon and Clinton,
especially. And shouldn't be "Power corrupts..." it should be "Power attracts the
corruptible...", Frank Herbert says so! On that note, I want Tleilaxu eyes. CoolAr.

Sure, cheese sauce? the plots of most TV shows? It's all cheesy.
Though not as cheesy as that last joke.
