I have an uncanny knack for making people irate. Doesnt bother me. I think it's good. Passion and all that.
, posted on the Lee Mavers thread, just puts in a nutshell, the mentality of a whole breed of asshole. That's his idea of passion? I don't know where to even fucking begin. So I won't.

Attack people personally under the guise of "playing devils advocate", insult other peoples taste in music left and right but get offended if anyone counters by spitting on his holy cows, and then *wonders* why people dislike him. The best bit about DP is his whole "what did I do wrong?" attitude when things go completely awry. This is ultimately probably the most frustrating thing about him, but when viewed from a distance, probably also the *funniest*.
I was intrigued that when I dived in for an actual fight, he wasn't up for it at all, became Mr Calm'n'reflective. And also that Kate thought I'd been ruder than she ever was to him, when I was just mildly pissed at him dissing my friend. Even though, on reflection, she's one of the most confrontational people I know (and all the better for it).
So: Within the context of enjoying this board: CLASSIC In the wider world: DUD

Chris, you are coming in somewhat late, and missing most of the back story. Yes, I am a somewhat confrontational person, but I do try to back up all my confrontational bluff and bluster against the opinions expressed by people, with a fundamental respect for the people expressing said opinions.
Started on another thread, not even sure if it was the Strokes or the Poptones thread (he manages to drag McGee into every thread ever- hence, why I think your post was so damned effective, Mark) - he was being a confrontational bastard in his usual style, so I gave him some confrontation right back.
Instead of replying to my opinions and the views expressed therein- he launched back with a huge, massive, completely out of proportion blatant personal attack against me as a person, my band, my lifestyle, everything else. Clearly he had obviously gone out and RESEARCHED me, because he started bringing stuff up off personal and band webpages that I had never mentioned on this board. *THAT* bothered me.
I stopped engaging him, fearing a stalker type situation, and he escalated until it got to the point where his posts were so clearly personal and inflamatory that the Administrators of the board stepped in and deleted them.
Now he's just a stupid irritant, too much of a gnat to really bother anyone, but at the time, it really bothered me, his semi-stalker approach. Anyway, I think Mark is probably right about his whole attitude towards this board.
And of course to point out that we are sad and bitter...

Anyway, kids, he's BAAA-AAACK!!! It really is like watching a carcrash, you just can't look away. Here's his latest random attack on someone who was actually just asking a reasonable request for more information on an artist who happened to be on Poptones.
This is better than Jerry Springer!

You know, it's actually kinda fun engaging doompatrol on his own level. There's a lot to be said for acting like Beavis & Butthead on a limited scale if you get to go home and have a brain at the end of it. Poor DP, who actually has to live inside his deluded, crazed worldview.
I note he hasn't yet quite got it up to return to the McG**'s c*ck discussion. It wasn't what I said, exactly, or Colin: it was something *he* himself said, I think... Maybe we should just link a thread back to it whenever he gets TOO up himself?
Anyway, I'm off to Belle and Suckasstian. Pity me. Paul has just messaged to say that he won't be making it. ARRGGHHH!!! So I am stuck going to see a band I loathe BY MYSELF, while my favourite band on earth are playing across town. Typical!
― Ned Raggett, Friday, 29 June 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)
I encourage Tom Ewing to delete this thread.
Prob here is that we are some of us, I think, a bit afraid of DoomTroll. Not afraid that he'll harm or damage us or anything like that, but that he maybe has the whatever quite to sour something we like. And we have the right (on ILE) to look into that, I think. We are actually nicer to him here — if you can believe this — than some of us have been to his, well, obviously not face, but screen- identity. Might he find his way here? Spose so. Speak Tash's name and Tash will come.

Erm... wait, this isn't about DP at all, it's about B&S now.
I think the reason that Colin started this thread was because we were already discussing DP on every other thread, and he wanted us to get back to talking about pubs, the weather and builders on the other threads, and keep our bitching here. It's clearly something that affected a lot of us, so, mean or not, it is still a meta-question perfectly valid to the forum.
Anyway... I really feel sorry for Stuart M. He has ginger eyelashes for fucks sake. And he's still a crap soundman. But he was much lovelier this time, and didn't kick us out of soundcheck or yell at us. I just wish he'd given my pen back. Sigh.

Good god, I still just can't BELIEVE that he actually read over 4000 messages on the Lollies list. I mean, I can believe that he would put together his bizarre story about me and Alan McGee from the few references there have been to Radio4 and why we didn't play it... but what amazes me if the fact that that stuff was never ON the website. He clearly had to sub up to the Lollies list (and not the news list, but the actual gossip list which requires admin approval, as well) and read through at least 2000 posts to get that stuff. (considering the McGee incident happened back in November)
I'm really not sure whether I should be flattered at his dedication, or quite frankly scared at his obssessive stalkerdom. Paul often does bizniz with Poptones- I'm very tempted to have him ask McGee is Doompatrol is just stalking him.
Good god, I'm hungover from Sussed, I've got to go back to bed.

No, the McGee thing was... last year sometime, some of my friends' band played at Radio4, so we went down. (Radio4 is just about tolerable when it's free.) I got very drunk (imagine that) and spent about ten minutes talking to some ginger bloke at the bar, and didn't realise until I'd got my drinks and gone back to my mates that it was Alan McGee I'd been drunkenly rambling at. That's my Alan McGee story, fascinating, idnit? He gave our keyboardist boy advice. Do you think that qualifies me for friendship status, too? ;-)
A bit later, another friend's band who are actually on Poptones passed a copy of our EP to the bloke at Poptones who books the bands- Ian Hake, I think was his name? There was some discussion back and forth about us playing at Radio4, but in the end, we ended up not doing anything. (For various reasons which are actually quite boring.) After I'd been to Radio4 once or twice, and seen the reactions of the trendoid zombies (who are only there in case a Pop Star turns up) ignoring and talking over the bands we did see play there, we decided that not playing the gig had actually probably been for the best.
Is this evidence of a personal fued against McGee? Erm, that would be quite difficult seeing as some people can't get their facts right about who does what at Poptones. Sour grapes? Maybe to a small extent, but more just disgust with the general attitude that has contributed to a growing suspicion.
Oh, and was it you who was talking about the Rocket Girl compilation album?
Also, I'm trying to decode the new email address, anyone understand it? Is that kt at the start isn't a reference to the lovely Ms Boom's address, or is that just 22esque pattern recognition?

Damn, I never even managed to go. I really really wanted to go to the one a while ago with brothomStates and Caustic Window (probably more for bStates than RDJ; that might be sacrilege, but brothomStates is my idol and is quite probably the person who got me interested in idm in the first place) but I couldn't make it. Every month I kept saying, "Well, next month I'll be there..."
It's only been going 5 or 6 months, hasn't it? Gutting. Bah. I should start getting out and DOING THINGS before they stop happening (is Sussed running forever or is it just a holiday thing or what?). Of course, if only it were actually that simple.
I will now go and listen to all my old brothomstates dune/orange mods in mourning and feel grumpy about the fact that I placed a huge order with s://kimo records (anyone used these guys recently?) which included some of his cd compilation appearances and various other stuff and I haven't got my confirmation of overseas postage rates email yet and so my order quite probably didn't go through.

I'm really beginning to wonder, though, based on his "psychotic and mentally ill people make the best music" assertations is A) he actually is mentally ill, or suffering from some sort of compulsive disorder, or Tourettes or something or B) he is using this idolisation of "psychotic" people as a justification of his own rudeness and bad behaviour.
::yawns:: He's not as funny as he used to be, is he? Really needs to come up with some new attention seeking behaviour if he wants to hold our attentions.

Like Kate, I felt a bit stalked when he attacked me and got too personal, without revealing anything about himself that would make him identifiable by name. That is the internet version of not being able to take what you dish out, not to mention the real-life version of attacking someone with profile outside the board due to some kind of resentment about that. He probably has a much thinner skin that you'd think (novelists generally do) so when it comes his turn for reviews he's not going to be a happy bunny, even if they're good, which I doubt very much on the basis of his posts.

Plus somewhat here
But here remains to be seen.
He does now seem to be a little leery of me: but there may be a law of diminishing returns. When we first tangled — P•ptones thread, long deleted — he did what he did with Kate: chased my name up and down the net and came back with unnerving info. Stalker-wise, he is bi.

The stalking stuff really creeped me out, at first I thought maybe he was my psycho ex-boyfriend (which would make it more obvious why he would assume my current BF's name) but he's got nothing like the same taste in music. I really honestly just think he's pathologically jealous of anyone who is actually successful at doing what it is he'd so much like to be doing- ie, being a professional journalist or writer, or else being in a band that plays anywhere outside his garage.
He did actually mention his real name on the Poptones thread, it's Paul something... (ironic that) hang on...
Paul Brownell what happens if you google that? Closest I've found is a Paul Brownell reviewing something on a Poptones page, but it's 404-ing on me. Could this be him about halfway down: http://www.poptones.co.uk/soundoff/reviewfeb.shtml
Seems kinda similar to a towned-down (read: EDITED) version of a DP rant? Yeah, it's him, cause there's a Paul Brownell ranting on the Ed Harcourt message board with exactly the same style and faked email addresses. Oh yes, this is him on the Poptones site, because he's going on about "O You With The Flowers".
He hasn't done any reviews recently, not since March, that's for sure. Hmmmm. I don't see him mentioned anywhere else on the site.
Ironically, Paul Brownell was also one of the first church-sanctioned gay marriages.

Gond@la B@b is indeed before most people on ile's time and best kept that way. He actually posts (dully) about music occaisonally on usenet, but seems to get more pleasure out of stirring the pot and upsetting people by means of various insults. Very nasty and misogynistic - not as silly as dp, and ten times more creepy. Also a warning to peeps not to actually spell out his name thanks to google - - some people might want a war w/him but I don't want him showing up here.

(Brief explanation: demos = using devious coding and optimisation skills to wring impressive high-speed graphical effects out of computers, all calculated and rendered in realtime, quite impressive in the days of 386s, can still pack things you'd expect by modern games programming standards to take up half a cd into a teeny tiny executable [see 4k/16k intros, 64k demos], more info here; trackers = old-fashioned sample-based music sequencers, started on Amiga in late 80s, gained popularity on PCs in early 90s when soundcards became more commonplace, led to an internet/bbs-based free music scene of people distributing their tracks in the original tracker format, somewhat grainy sounding due to sample size restrictions imposed by hardware/software limitations but sounded much better than the built- in fm synthesis/midi of the soundcards and was all available free, much cheaper than buying decent sampler or synth; Urban Hype's "Trip To Trumpton" and Bogdan Raczynski's "Samurai Math Beats" and "Boku Mo Wakaran" & many other tracks known outside the scene apparently done using just trackers...)
dune's seen as one of the best tracker musicians around; he's definitely been an influence on ex-scene artists like Bogdan R, Lackluster and md (you can hear samples taken from dune modules in Bogdan's work, apparently; since the modules themselves are distributed - "open source" music, if you like - you can hear what samples are used individually, save them for use in your own tracks, see how the music's put together, etc), and people like to think that even before those three artists got proper record deals bStates had had some impact on artists not actively involved in the scene. Either way, he's written some great music. So, that's why he's a bit of a hero of mine, and that's why I'm looking forward to his Warp stuff, glad he's finally getting some recognition from such a high-profile label, and only slightly disappointed that it's taken so long...
Top dune recommendations for those of you who can play tracked modules (winamp will play them, mostly reasonably accurately): control e, arsa bamk, astral ian breakside, ~k, mark aj pisses off, nang, alterraid, bathroom tests. Most of those can be found here. Maybe it sounds dated, maybe nobody here will like this stuff, but, sheesh. Imagine that it's long before the days of soundcards capable of cd-quality audio being available for the home user, the vast majority of the noises you've heard coming out of your crappy 8-bit soundcard have been its horrible tinny fm-synthesised midi soundset, and you find a 20-300k file lurking uncredited on a magazine coverdisk as part of a couple of demos, and it sounds like THAT. That's all I can say, really...
― rebecca, Wednesday, 11 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)
I am worried, however, about what Gareth says- that he will dissuade new posters from contributing, thinking that this is a confrontational hellhole, rather than one raving lunatic and a bunch of people ignoring him, or occasionally prodding him when they're bored.
But, I mean, it takes a quite thick skin to be involved in almost any internet forum. I still think ILM/E is better than average, cause it's got only one real troll, and he's clearly a raving lunatic. That's a pretty good average.
I think the whole "but who is Paul anyway..." thing was the rus. I think he googled himself and realised how easy it would be to stalk him in the same way that he was stalking others, and wanted us to think he was anything more than a raving indie fanboy with a hardon for poptones.
I'm absolutely fascinated. It's a really interesting study to have such a person in a jar.
(Oh, also: I deleted the psychosis in pop thread on ILM not because he was being offensive - just because it was a repeat thread and I had pointed everyone in the direction of the original one. When I mentioned deleting the thread, DP was fine about it. I just took a while to do it because I was off-line.)

You know, last week, in the haze of a hangover, Paul and I were watching one of those post-Woodhousian "When pets go bad!" type programmes on BBC2, and they had this DOG which behaved just like DP. Their reccomendation was just to ignore the dog, no matter how bad its behaviour got, and it would eventually calm down.
I really was beginning to think that it was working, until that last outburst at Ned. Where the HELL did that come from?
I don't know, maybe I'm evil, but I actually think that out of control, ranting about god knows what Doompatrol is far more amusing than the nicely behaved doompatrol. Because neither his musical taste nor his commentary on that musical taste in particularly interesting in and of itself. When he flies off the handle for his own hallucinatory reasons, that is amusing. Unless you're at the receiving end.
All I have to say is, Ned, the way to get back at him is not to explode back, but to call him on how much effort he spends finding ways to get to you. He's practically stopped bugging me (knock on wood) since I realised that the only reason he spends so much time investigating me and Ver Lolleez is cause he's clearly in love with me, and telling him so.

Hmmm...
So much hatred.
Anything else?
But must respond to these various postings before I go...
1. Am I an idiot?
Don't think so...
Right now, I have, three respected authors giving me advice about my book. I have graduated top of my class at a well respected university. I gave up a $60,000.00 a year job to write. I am going places with my life. Right now, I'm at a temp job. I am bored and i find it fascinating that I have run across pretensious bitter people and wanted to 'shake things up'....for my own amusement. Sad. But better than surfing the internet. And I have learned alot about human nature.
2. I'm a very kind person. Not like the internet character I have been running for the past couple of months. You do not know me. I have humanity and am an empathic person.
3. Stalking? Nah. People at I love music have set themselves up to be experts. I did research. Wanted to see the validity of those opinions. When I saw nothing fantastic/fabulous, I doubted the opinions even more.
4. Career in music worth killing? Hardly. I have nothing to do with music. Why? Because it is populated with folks like you.
5. Deluded? Maybe? I have had a fantastic life. Extreme highs and lows. Been called a genius/maniac/arsehole...and I respect them all.
6. Well...it's been fun moderating my own 'Hate Club'...unpublished as of yet and I've got my first experience with bad press. It's been fun and wanted to see how far it would go. I made a point of stopping when the hate club ran into fifty posts.
Anyways.

Again.
You know nothing about me.
And it's a shame, cause I'm a great guy.

Teehee.
Delusional. From 1993 - 1999 delusional. But how was I delusional? It's been a laugh! That is what you really don't understand. I have made people paranoid, concoct bizarre theories about me...etc..etc..
Based on lies and misinformation.
It's been a damn good laugh!
It's made me feel....
Dunno....
Important...that I can reach out to egotists and actually have them start a thread about me, scan my posts and discuss them.
Bloody hell!
: - D
It's what I wanted!
With writing...that is what I was trying to PROVE to myself. As mentioned above, I have thin skin. . . wanted to see if I can get REACTION. And I have, from ... well .... very large egos.

Money is gone but I'm getting some at the end of the month. So this job is gone gone by byes...
Yeah, I found you to be honest and soulful.
The reason how I knew the majority of the people that I do know, is that when, after my friend collasped of brain tumour in front of me, it shook me out of my life and into this life. We were walking back to her class and then she just fell asleep into a coma....
After that, I set down and wrote to every, EVERY influence in my life. About my life. Before it was there, drug addicted, bored office worker, but after that, I had my eyes opened to life and how beautiful it is....
The letters proved successful.
I had gotten a response from everyone that I sent out.
The responses from people at i love music were an experiment. I did get bored of it and was going to stop it but found the existant of this thread fascinating to say the least...
bye ally...
bye bye bye bye...
the world needs ally.
don't forget that.
I RESPECT you.
bye bye bye.
xxxxx
I do want a t-shirt that says "THE WORLD NEEDS ALLY". I have one that says "ALL ROCK 'N' ROLL IS HOMOSEXUAL", I could figure a way to wear them together.
Everyone's an egotist, doomie. Ain't a novelist here or gone who's not an egotist. Ain't a writer here or gone who's not an egotist. But for all that ya never once dared show us the actual writer, the actual writing. Never once. Never once. The game was easy: I'm guessing I'd probably picked you up by second post — after all, let's not go boasting — under each new pseudo. The Courtney L*ve one's the one I'm proud of: one post, and I called it, and I marked it. It's there in the thread. "????????????????": just like that. You never coughed to that name — but *I* knew. What did I miss Doomie? Which time didn't I know ya? Course I can always lie.
Writing's like a mask: one day you make to take it off, and the face has grown to fit. A mask is just a mask, Doomie: but I saw thru to your face. You know that I know that you know that. Lie for me, lover, lie like you do. Lie yourself back into not knowing that.

As for the older dune/orange stuff, if you want to hear it and can't find it then I'll gladly do you a tape of the stuff I have. Most of it is pretty old now (and I prefer the old stuff, personally... some of the recent stuff I've heard has been a bit too, hmm, Jarre- ish/oldschool demomuzaky for my tastes) and I can't guarantee that anyone else would like it, it may well be one of those things which hasn't aged well and won't make sense in retrospect, but if you or anyone else here would like a tape then drop me an email.
(If anyone is worrying about the legality of offering to do this on such a public forum then I should point out that the tracks I'm offering to tape were made freely available over the internet by the original author, so hopefully it isn't an issue...)

I don't agree with his "arguments" either. If he wants to start saying sensible and helpful things, grate. But he has not, to my knowledge, done so yet.

do you think I really care? I was just having fun! christ. I really do mean it.
I think society places pressure, undo pressure on body shapes and sizes when that is what makes the world interesting.
I used to be really fat until I did alot of amphetimine in my youth.
So, honestly, forget what I said. I just like the word fatty. You can't talk that away from me!
Just thought DG would insult me back.....gawd! *lapsed catholic guilt*
I'm terrible at being evil....
grrr...
I was eight before I had the stabilizers off of my bike. True! I couldnt ride a bike with shite, it wasnt until late teens that co- ordination kicked in for me...
