the surface noise (slight return) (electricsound), Monday, 7 February 2005 02:02 (twenty years ago)

whyd you start a new thread so fast anyway, this one wasnt even 1000 posts was it?

Trayce (trayce), Monday, 7 February 2005 02:02 (twenty years ago)

They don't work anyway. I just put margarine and Vegemite in between them and squeezed and no worms came out. Rnak.

Autumn Almanac (Autumn Almanac), Monday, 7 February 2005 02:03 (twenty years ago)

The one before was only about 600 wasn't it? Anyway the other one was moving too slowly and I'm bored. And I had a good idea for a title.

Autumn Almanac (Autumn Almanac), Monday, 7 February 2005 02:03 (twenty years ago)

Right well now that I've CLEARLY BUCKED THE TREND AND ALIENATED YOU ALL I suggest we go back to the other thread and fill it.

Autumn Almanac (Autumn Almanac), Monday, 7 February 2005 02:08 (twenty years ago)

And in the meantime I will go into the other room and sulk. Or watch telly.

Autumn Almanac (Autumn Almanac), Monday, 7 February 2005 02:08 (twenty years ago)

Sorry, miss *puts hands on head*

Trayce (trayce), Monday, 7 February 2005 02:27 (twenty years ago)

Oh. Yeah.

Durr.

I'm being such a stoopid butthead today. Mild brain damage broiled in light depression.

BUT THERE IS A TRAILER FOR THE NEW BATMAN MOVIE OH MY GOD OH MY GOD NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA BAAAAAAAAAAAAATMAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN!

Michael Stuchbery (Mikey Bidness), Monday, 7 February 2005 02:28 (twenty years ago)

I like that they're taking the 'Sometimes it is daytime in Gotham City and Bruce Wayne is Patrick Bateman's kickass vigilante older brother' angle with this.

Michael Stuchbery (Mikey Bidness), Monday, 7 February 2005 02:34 (twenty years ago)

I was reading up abt the new seasons simpsons over on SNPP.

Time to stop surely.

Autumn Almanac (Autumn Almanac), Monday, 7 February 2005 02:40 (twenty years ago)

Yeah, it's like watching a loved, once lively household pet lose bladder function and the use of their back legs.

Michael Stuchbery (Mikey Bidness), Monday, 7 February 2005 03:06 (twenty years ago)

Actually some of the recent eps have been pretty good. I'm not a "they went crap" type with it, sorry.

Trayce (trayce), Monday, 7 February 2005 03:07 (twenty years ago)

The occasional new episode is great, but most of the new ones I've seen are just depressingly bad. Yet every year I give it another chance. Last week's was fantastic; if this series keeps up that standard I'm back on the bus.

Autumn Almanac (Autumn Almanac), Monday, 7 February 2005 03:09 (twenty years ago)

I feel they've lost their heart.

Michael Stuchbery (Mikey Bidness), Monday, 7 February 2005 03:10 (twenty years ago)

The ABC has a watermark now! Fuck!

Autumn Almanac (Autumn Almanac), Monday, 7 February 2005 03:22 (twenty years ago)

Oh lordy, thats a bit crap.

You know, reading ILM depresses me. There are some artists talked about by *everyone* there in these reverential, biggest thing since god terms that I heard about say a week ago. MIA is the latest example but there's plenty others. Once of a time I kept up - now I have no idea. Am I to assume that never listening to radio/never reading music mags is wot done it? Seriously, I know nothing past about 95 except for the Faint, Ellen Alien and a buncha techno/trance stuff.

Trayce (trayce), Monday, 7 February 2005 03:29 (twenty years ago)

So who the hell is MIA and why should I care? And if it is hip hop, I probably wont I should point out.

Trayce (trayce), Monday, 7 February 2005 03:30 (twenty years ago)

nobody can know everything trayce.

gem (trisk), Monday, 7 February 2005 03:30 (twenty years ago)

Oh m.i.a is... an anglo/sri-lankan hip-hop artist. everyone's freaking out because her dad's a tamil tiger, she knows the right people in london and she's got a bleepy bloopy record. you probably wouldn't like it and truth be told, the whole thing is massively, MASSIVELY overhyped.

Michael Stuchbery (Mikey Bidness), Monday, 7 February 2005 03:38 (twenty years ago)

It's all very Che Guevara screenprints.

Michael Stuchbery (Mikey Bidness), Monday, 7 February 2005 03:39 (twenty years ago)

Except on very rare occasions, English people shouldn't rap.

Michael Stuchbery (Mikey Bidness), Monday, 7 February 2005 03:40 (twenty years ago)

So, anybody want to tear me a new arsehole or tear their nose up at me now?

Michael Stuchbery (Mikey Bidness), Monday, 7 February 2005 03:40 (twenty years ago)

she got a typically tops review from pitchfork. i think mikey is right about the overhype. although it depends on how you define overhyped as i'm sure trayce isn't alone in only just having heard of her.

gem (trisk), Monday, 7 February 2005 03:41 (twenty years ago)

i heard of her AGES ago you losers!!!

its just i've never actually heard her.

bulbs (bulbs), Monday, 7 February 2005 03:44 (twenty years ago)

...well you got multiple THE FUTURE OF MUSIC write-ups in the music media. It's nerdy techno meets rappy schoolyard chants. That ain't my future of music.

Michael Stuchbery (Mikey Bidness), Monday, 7 February 2005 03:45 (twenty years ago)

yep. she's not exactly on high rotation here either. even on the community station.

gem (trisk), Monday, 7 February 2005 03:46 (twenty years ago)

Oh, tamil tigers... girly asian rapper. Say no more, I see why shes hyped now. God that lot're predictable.

Trayce (trayce), Monday, 7 February 2005 03:50 (twenty years ago)

what was the last big thing? i think i missed that too.

bulbs (bulbs), Monday, 7 February 2005 03:53 (twenty years ago)

Velcro sneakers

I was born, lucky me... (papa november), Monday, 7 February 2005 03:55 (twenty years ago)

never owned a pair. knew i was getting old when sneakers started to look stupid.

bulbs (bulbs), Monday, 7 February 2005 03:56 (twenty years ago)

won't buy the kids them either.

bulbs (bulbs), Monday, 7 February 2005 03:57 (twenty years ago)

I had a pair when I was... 8?

I can get behind MIA if it means less people are wasting oxygen and/or thought on the Fucking Libertines! WHY DOES ENGLISH ROCK BAND NOT LIKE TO ROCK etc.

haitch (haitch), Monday, 7 February 2005 04:05 (twenty years ago)

i have an idea i'm going to like her

bulbs (bulbs), Monday, 7 February 2005 04:08 (twenty years ago)

i should've burned you the Dipo thing! d'oh.

haitch (haitch), Monday, 7 February 2005 04:11 (twenty years ago)

See now I now SFA about the Libertines either. Or Belle and Sebastian. Not a single note. And you know what? I dont care a bit :/ Its weird. I'm happy to sit in my suspended animation of 1992 and ignore the world, heh.

Trayce (trayce), Monday, 7 February 2005 04:11 (twenty years ago)

i don't think you're missing a huge amount re: the libertines trayce.

i reckon there's an argument to be made for finding a style of music you love and sticking to it. i'm always buying new cds but i don't think i really properly listen to enough of them, even since i got ipoded. there just isn't enough time.

gem (trisk), Monday, 7 February 2005 04:14 (twenty years ago)

trayce, if you are familiar with:

a) popular English band The Clash;
b) the concept of "watering-down"; and
c) the popular opiate heroin,

you know all you need to about the libertines.

haitch (haitch), Monday, 7 February 2005 04:17 (twenty years ago)

haha

Trayce 92 is a good year to be stuck in!

bulbs (bulbs), Monday, 7 February 2005 04:17 (twenty years ago)

i really like that 'oooh what became of the likely lads' song though

gem (trisk), Monday, 7 February 2005 04:28 (twenty years ago)

The Libertines? omg I LOVE the Libertines.

Autumn Almanac (Autumn Almanac), Monday, 7 February 2005 04:30 (twenty years ago)

i thought we were talking about some new band called The Fucking Libertines

bulbs (bulbs), Monday, 7 February 2005 04:31 (twenty years ago)

oh adam

haitch (haitch), Monday, 7 February 2005 04:32 (twenty years ago)

gaz: Fucking Champs + Libertines side-project???

haitch (haitch), Monday, 7 February 2005 04:33 (twenty years ago)

No really! I read this review in Uncut or Q or something, about how the Libertines is still powering on despite hating the band and hating everyone and going to prison and killing themselves with drugs and such, yet the article was imbued with so much empathy and pathos that I can't help loving the little scalliwags. Plus it's a UK music mag so you know they're right. Haven't heard any of the music yet.

Autumn Almanac (Autumn Almanac), Monday, 7 February 2005 04:34 (twenty years ago)

haha little scalliwags

gem (trisk), Monday, 7 February 2005 04:34 (twenty years ago)

the Fucking Champs is a great name for a band isn't it? I have never heard the Libertines and do not plan to. haha adam.

bulbs (bulbs), Monday, 7 February 2005 04:36 (twenty years ago)

HAHAHA H thats great ;)

Now playing: My old, rare (I hope)

Trayce (trayce), Monday, 7 February 2005 04:41 (twenty years ago)

old rare wot?

bulbs (bulbs), Monday, 7 February 2005 04:42 (twenty years ago)

fuck... try again. My old rare japanese import copy of Japan's "Adolescent Sex" which I have to admit I now really like. Its very roxy music/new york dolls/bowie but that works for me.

Trayce (trayce), Monday, 7 February 2005 04:42 (twenty years ago)

I remember putting on music for my sisters engagement party a few years back, all pretty tame stuff stevie wonder, phoenix, middle of the road shit that wouldn't offend any old rellies.

Somehow, i'd wound up with Up the Bracket by the Libertines on the comp, and somehow it came out louder than everything else i'd put on it.

I got several dirty looks.

I was born, lucky me... (papa november), Monday, 7 February 2005 04:44 (twenty years ago)

Heh whats with the Kinks (Fall?) lyric name thingar? :)

Trayce (trayce), Monday, 7 February 2005 04:50 (twenty years ago)

dunno. been listening to it a bit, I like the way without the next line it sounds really wry and sarky.

kate/papa november (papa november), Monday, 7 February 2005 04:55 (twenty years ago)

Kinks or Fall?

Autumn Almanac (Autumn Almanac), Monday, 7 February 2005 04:58 (twenty years ago)

Okay I know every second thread on this site has to be aboue The Fall but I don't know any Fall so I'm assuming it's Kinks.

Autumn Almanac (Autumn Almanac), Monday, 7 February 2005 04:59 (twenty years ago)

the kinks, i don't know much by the fall and what i do know i haven't liked.

kate/papa november (papa november), Monday, 7 February 2005 05:00 (twenty years ago)

For the record, I listen to Arthur at least 10 times a month. Shangri-La is the shit.

Autumn Almanac (Autumn Almanac), Monday, 7 February 2005 05:01 (twenty years ago)

Yeah, my husband is a mad fan. I seem to have got some osmosis thing going on.

kate/papa november (papa november), Monday, 7 February 2005 05:03 (twenty years ago)

The Fall covered "victoria" in case yr wondering why I brought them up.

Trayce (trayce), Monday, 7 February 2005 05:05 (twenty years ago)

The video clip is blody hilarious. How anyone talked Mark E into that I dont know.

Trayce (trayce), Monday, 7 February 2005 05:05 (twenty years ago)

Fuck, I am typing like a donkey today.

Trayce (trayce), Monday, 7 February 2005 05:05 (twenty years ago)

Yesterday in the car I played some Beatles song, and 'er indoors said "omg lyrically and melodically that's very similar to XTC". This is a woman who (a) hates XTC, (b) has little to no interest in niche pop and (c) hasn't heard any XTC in about five years.

Autumn Almanac (Autumn Almanac), Monday, 7 February 2005 05:06 (twenty years ago)

You mustve brainwashed her ;)

Trayce (trayce), Monday, 7 February 2005 05:10 (twenty years ago)

You look like a real human being
But you don't have a mind of your own
Yeah, you can talk, you can breathe
You can work, you can stitch, you can sew
But you're brainwashed
Yes you are, yes you are
Get down on your knees
You've got a job and a house
And a wife, and your kids and a car
Yeah, you're conditioned to be
What they want you to be
And be happy to be where you are
Yes you are
Get down on your knees
Get down on your knees

The aristocrats and bureaucrats
Are dirty rats
For making you what you are
They're up there and you re down here
You're on the ground and they're up with the stars
All your life they've kicked you around and pushed you around
Till you can't take any more
To them you're just a speck of dirt
But you don't want to get up off the floor
Mister you're just brainwashed
They give you social security
Tax saving benefits that grow at maturity
Yeah, you're conditioned to be
What they want you to be
And to do what they want you to
Yes you are, yes you are
Get down on your knees

Autumn Almanac (Autumn Almanac), Monday, 7 February 2005 05:13 (twenty years ago)

I should have called this The Arthur Thread.

Autumn Almanac (Autumn Almanac), Monday, 7 February 2005 05:13 (twenty years ago)

that's rubbish. Fall lyrics are much better!

Spoilt Melbournian Child (haitch), Monday, 7 February 2005 05:25 (twenty years ago)

The Libertines have their moments. I mean, they're no shining light in the musical darkness, but they can be fuckin' fun. Fuck the British musical press though.

Yeah, girly asian rapper with vague terrorist associations, Momus hasn't left his computer chair for three days, the semen has glued him to the seat. He's calling the whole situation 'Reverence', it's the name of his new visual art installation to be held at Klangenfist in Berlin, where Phil-Two will DJ and smoke crack with midget african jew terrorists dressed as Mr T.

Michael Stuchbery (Mikey Bidness), Monday, 7 February 2005 06:14 (twenty years ago)

the whole situation = m.i.a?

gem (trisk), Monday, 7 February 2005 06:15 (twenty years ago)

Well, the thread possibilities with hundreds of angry internet dorks alternately lauding her and vilifying her. Oh, yeah, and there's his well-publicised Asian fetish.

Hell, now there's an idea for a story...

Hmm its possible, a la Perfume I suppose!

Trayce (trayce), Tuesday, 8 February 2005 00:18 (twenty years ago)

i dunno about smell...its like there's some kind of loose wiring and you can sense the electricity.

bulbs (bulbs), Tuesday, 8 February 2005 00:30 (twenty years ago)

but the sodden with cig smoke smell is another giveaway!

bulbs (bulbs), Tuesday, 8 February 2005 00:31 (twenty years ago)

Yeah, that's it, it's like loose wiring!

Michael Stuchbery (Mikey Bidness), Tuesday, 8 February 2005 01:42 (twenty years ago)

my brotherinlaw is a psych nurse. o man he tells some scary shit.

bulbs (bulbs), Tuesday, 8 February 2005 01:47 (twenty years ago)

When I was working in a real estate agent, I met this guy who was a client of ours and he was clearly a nutter. And he had the most horrible stench! urgh. We weren't allowed to advertise his property either, we just had to "talk it up". Fat chance, it was a dump! hahaha!

haitch (haitch), Tuesday, 8 February 2005 01:47 (twenty years ago)

i used to know this guy who was hating his flatmates so he organised a flat swap with this well known nutter who had his own one bedroom flat. when bill moved in he finds that said nutter has covered all the floors in sand, painted the walls blue and glued dead fish to them.

it could be a kind of nirvana i guess. short-lived at any rate though.

Autumn Almanac (Autumn Almanac), Wednesday, 9 February 2005 05:58 (twenty years ago)

he ran the label that put out the junior boys record, and was a regular poster. beyond that i'd not really noticed him all that much before..

Thanks, found him. User name nick.k. Don't remember seeing any of his posts.

Trayce (trayce), Wednesday, 9 February 2005 22:33 (twenty years ago)

dunno, i don't recognise anyone in australian music much anymore. What depressed me was that i was getting most of the answers well before any of those so-called musicians. and then when i saw the theme music was by a certain aussie duo, well that just sealed the deal. Will they not keep their noses out of anything?

kate/papa november (papa november), Wednesday, 9 February 2005 22:35 (twenty years ago)

What I saw of Spicks & Specks was a million times better than Rockwiz, which is just painful. Spicks has potential.

Anyway the real question is why the FUCK you people didn't stay on to watch Little Britain.

mullygrubbr (bulbs), Thursday, 10 February 2005 00:04 (twenty years ago)

The vomit was the only unfunny part IMO.

Hey, apparently the UK's version was treated to look like film, like our series 1 did. For some reason the ABC got a version of this series that's untreated, and therefore looks cheap.

Autumn Almanac (Autumn Almanac), Thursday, 10 February 2005 00:13 (twenty years ago)

gaz and adam's funny bones in diff places i suspect.

mullygrubbr (bulbs), Thursday, 10 February 2005 00:15 (twenty years ago)

I only found it unfunny because it's been done before. It was funny in the '80s, and probably for a bit in the '90s, but by the time Guest House Paradiso came around excessive vomiting was no longer funny.

Autumn Almanac (Autumn Almanac), Thursday, 10 February 2005 00:17 (twenty years ago)

Trayce (trayce), Thursday, 10 February 2005 00:31 (twenty years ago)

i was laughing mainly because my wife was cracking up. it was the details - the dribbles when the vomiting finished.

i usually find - like with most sketch comedy - i only find about 12% of it vaguely amusing.

mullygrubbr (bulbs), Thursday, 10 February 2005 00:36 (twenty years ago)

Who did the music on spix n spex Kate?

I watched a bit of L Britain cos all my friends suddenly rang and said you gotta watch it etc etc so I did and yunno it was OK but I'm a bit sick of repressed Brit humour (even though I am a repressed Brit myself).

thee music mole, Thursday, 10 February 2005 00:51 (twenty years ago)

Little Britain's a creeper. You've got to stick with it. We watched about four episodes before we really got into the groove, and from that point there's no turning back.

Autumn Almanac (Autumn Almanac), Thursday, 10 February 2005 00:59 (twenty years ago)

Michael Stuchbery (Mikey Bidness), Thursday, 10 February 2005 03:00 (twenty years ago)

I understand that Col, but there is a fine line between giving the people what they want and making the people absolutely sick of you.

kate/papa november (papa november), Thursday, 10 February 2005 03:17 (twenty years ago)

True enough. This is always a thorny one for musos though. Just as everyone's getting sick of you is exactly when the record company is on at you to recoup all those promo expenses. That's when you end up doing crap TV shows etc.

thee music mole, Thursday, 10 February 2005 03:25 (twenty years ago)

i must be oblivious. i couldn't even name one dissociatives song - i certainly couldn't hum one. i didn't know they'd done the theme music. i couldn't care less.

What the crinkly shit? I wrote me a most scribulous screed, but the internet did plain eat it.

I always, always drink it black. It's mostly an aversion to dairy, but I find that it softens the flavour (if I'm drinking a special blend) and slows the stimulant effects.

Goddamn, now I want another cup and a cigarette! I BEEN LISTENING TO TOO MUCH ALT-COUNTRY AND OL' TIMEY MUSIC!

Caitlin is going to teach me the guitar. I will relieve my sorrow through sad ballads of a man done wrong, laid low with a cold, forced to take a sickie he cannot enjoy.

Baha ;P

I liked Battlestar, you shouldve stuck with it Ad. Mind you, it so needs to be a full series, not a miniseries - it kept feeling like they really had to rush thru the story and cram everything in, which made it lose some of its sense of epic endoftheworldness.

Also, Mary McDonnell has no expression except "gaze in blank confusion into the middle distance, hey wait did I used to have a son called Donnie?".

Still, it was way better than Lost, I was rather unimpressed with Lost.

There was gonna be a whole series of snail not being able to do various things because well, he's a snail... also his best friend is a snake, and they cant even shake hands.. etc etc. But I cant really draw. I need to practice more.

no, the style is just right!

You should do more Trayce! I can't draw comics to save myself, even though i've tried. I can't develop a character and keep drawing it. Once i've drawn something once, i don't want to draw it again.

Trayce (trayce), Sunday, 13 February 2005 23:00 (twenty years ago)

xpost Yeah that's the one. It's just about drawing what you see, and not using a preconceived symbol system [that's an eye, that's a nose etc.].

I need a scanner too. That one above is from my cameraphone.

Last night I went to a Korean BBQ restaurant in Box Hill for my brother's birthday.

Yep. But neither of us does Valentine's day, so it doesn't matter to us. And if anyone hassles 'er indoors with 'omg why did your husband not get you a Valentine's day present' she just tells them I do it spontaneously throughout the year, and that's far more special. They shut up after that.

But you know what, I like him now! I can't really explain why, it's that instinct that behind the swashbuckling, take-no-priznas net poster character is a nice guy.

and blount is SO not NYC-hipster trash. he's from GEORGIA -- REM and B52's hometown -- fer gawd's sake!!

Eisbär (llamasfur), Monday, 14 February 2005 05:45 (twenty years ago)

The US state or the country?

Autumn Almanac (Autumn Almanac), Monday, 14 February 2005 05:45 (twenty years ago)

[legitimate question]

Autumn Almanac (Autumn Almanac), Monday, 14 February 2005 05:46 (twenty years ago)

you also have to be from nyc to be hipster? i'm never gonna be hipster at this rate. so many criteria.

gem (trisk), Monday, 14 February 2005 05:46 (twenty years ago)

Oh wait REM's American so it won't be the country

Autumn Almanac (Autumn Almanac), Monday, 14 February 2005 05:46 (twenty years ago)

besides, blount's had my back on a shitload of politics-oriented threads here. i mean, it's harder than non-yanks think to be pro-clinton/pro-democrat (even among democrats and ESPECIALLY among hipster ILXers). so i will always appreciate that intellectual camraderie.

you also have to be from nyc to be hipster?

only if you listen to certain nyc-hipsters, then you do!

Eisbär (llamasfur), Monday, 14 February 2005 05:48 (twenty years ago)

Are you pro-Democrat, or anti-Republican? I'm the latter.

Autumn Almanac (Autumn Almanac), Monday, 14 February 2005 05:49 (twenty years ago)

being from new jersey, having my family roots in philadelphia, refusing to live in williamsburg (one of the current centers of NYC hipsterdom), having pragmatic political views, and being a thirty-something kinda eliminate ME from NYC hipsterdom. though i do work in manhattan!

Eisbär (llamasfur), Monday, 14 February 2005 05:50 (twenty years ago)

[xpost] I'm also anti-Liberal and anti-Tory and anti-'New Labour' for the same reasons

Autumn Almanac (Autumn Almanac), Monday, 14 February 2005 05:51 (twenty years ago)

Are you pro-Democrat, or anti-Republican? I'm the latter.

both. in my mind, those two POVs are almost synonymous these days.

Eisbär (llamasfur), Monday, 14 February 2005 05:52 (twenty years ago)

I'm worried, I think I'm turning into a hipster. I seem to find myself in their presence lately, at least. I am so drawing the line at trucker hats, though.

haitch (haitch), Monday, 14 February 2005 05:53 (twenty years ago)

True. Although I'm kind of against US politicians in general, with their imperialist notions and such.

amen ... and no von dutch t-shirts or vice magazine, either!!

Eisbär (llamasfur), Monday, 14 February 2005 05:55 (twenty years ago)

politicians can only be as good as the people who elect them. i think that that's a pretty universal principle. it's certainly the case in the USA these days.

Eisbär (llamasfur), Monday, 14 February 2005 05:56 (twenty years ago)

The US is as centric as its politicians, so that makes sense.

Autumn Almanac (Autumn Almanac), Monday, 14 February 2005 05:57 (twenty years ago)

haha oh god there is an Australian Vice mag, it's awful!

haitch (haitch), Monday, 14 February 2005 05:59 (twenty years ago)

is it at all like its american namesake? wr2 the american vice magazine, from what i've glommed from what little i've read of it it seems really smug and patronizing -- i wonder why it has been decided that being loutish and sloppy = being working class, or generally "hip."

and oh yeah, momus apparently writes for them. make of that what you will.

Eisbär (llamasfur), Monday, 14 February 2005 06:02 (twenty years ago)

Do people here fawn over Momus because he's omgfamous?

Autumn Almanac (Autumn Almanac), Monday, 14 February 2005 06:16 (twenty years ago)

I like the Scottish pirate because, as well as having always an interesting viewpoint, he cops a lot of stick and takes it in good spirit. He's never personally attacked anyone as far as I can tell.

thee music mole, Monday, 14 February 2005 06:36 (twenty years ago)

I think they source most of the content from the US version. There's the odd local article, plus ads for local hipster breeding grounds and what have you.

One issue I picked up had Momus having his eyepatch accessorized! That was pretty funny.

Adam, READ ONE THREAD, people here hardly fawn over Momus!

I woke up at 10 today! Ugh. Haven't been well since Thursday, perhaps I needed to sleep it off.

Coles Online delivery coming after 4, yay

Autumn Almanac (Autumn Almanac), Monday, 14 February 2005 23:48 (twenty years ago)

Copycat ;P

Wow, I slept in bad. I feel all discombobulated. And I go away for one afternoon and miss a stoush! Darnit.

Trayce (trayce), Monday, 14 February 2005 23:55 (twenty years ago)

No! 'Er indoors made the order yesterday at work. We did a couple years ago, back when it cost like $15 for delivery, because a friend waived delivery for us somehow.

...you slept in bad?

Autumn Almanac (Autumn Almanac), Tuesday, 15 February 2005 00:08 (twenty years ago)

Ah right.. yeah now deliv. is $5 is it so worth it. Ima do this more often, tho bafflingly the online store doesnt sell the cat litter I buy, even tho the Balaclava Coles does (and a lot of it, too).

Slept in bad= slept heavily, felt v nauseous half the night, had those horrible disorienting dreams in the morning and woke up all groggy and sweaty amd wtf.

Trayce (trayce), Tuesday, 15 February 2005 00:25 (twenty years ago)

Ew really? At least you don't need to take a sickie. :)

They used to actually go through the local Coles with a trolley and take it to people's houses. Now they have a proper warehouse arrangement.

This morning it occurred to me that I will never get a job.

Autumn Almanac (Autumn Almanac), Tuesday, 15 February 2005 00:27 (twenty years ago)

On another note. jaymc said this on Calums movie thread:

"I think it's interesting that Calum uses peculiarly British slang and references British personalities more than almost anyone else on here. I mean, on one hand, it doesn't seem like that big a deal -- he's Scottish, that's how he talks -- but on the other, in the context of ILX, it's sort of indicative of a blinkered, solipsistic worldview, uninterested in actually engaging with others."

Despite that it is Cman hes talking about, I found this oservation somewhat um.. odd, not offensive but a bit unfair. Why shouldnt brits (and aussies and scandianvians and whoever else) speak in our own slang/references/voices? The yanks do it all the damn time and assume we alllll must know about gridiron/baseball/various brands of food/tv shows. Im sick of it, and I think it is unfair that we might be "blinkered" if we do the same!?

He had to have meant something else by that but Im baffled.

Trayce (trayce), Tuesday, 15 February 2005 00:28 (twenty years ago)

Yeah, that's f'n bollocks mate.

5 bucks? Shit, might order me some Coles tonight.

Autumn Almanac (Autumn Almanac), Tuesday, 15 February 2005 01:23 (twenty years ago)

I've written it, and it's as sensible as I can make it, but it'll get shouted down because too many people in the US are irrationally sensitive about their culture. Ironically.

Adam, Calum is a tit.

That's as maybe, but the point's still relevant.

Autumn Almanac (Autumn Almanac), Tuesday, 15 February 2005 02:23 (twenty years ago)

It's really not. Certainly not as far as ILX goes, if you'd said the IGN boards or some rubbish jingoistic forum like that then you might've had a point!

Can I stress just how much Calum only wants to interact on his terms, when he feels like it, and acts like a total prick otherwise?

haitch (haitch), Tuesday, 15 February 2005 02:26 (twenty years ago)

I think it's one of the best threads i've ever seen here.

But it has nothing to do with Calum.

xpost: thanks Kate :)

Autumn Almanac (Autumn Almanac), Tuesday, 15 February 2005 02:26 (twenty years ago)

The fact it happened to be Calum is beside the point I reckon. The fact someone using bristish slang is "blinkered" "in the ilx context" is the important bit.

I'd like to be suprised no brits stood up and said "hey!" (after all it wasnt us that was knocked) but hey, it *was* calum...

Trayce (trayce), Tuesday, 15 February 2005 02:56 (twenty years ago)

Well it took off anyway. And I have no idea what Blount's on about. He's twisting it into a whole different argument. Perhaps the proper one's a bit difficult for him to grasp? I dunno.

Trayce (trayce), Wednesday, 16 February 2005 04:19 (twenty years ago)

Chili-choc timtams are nice but not hot so don't be 'fraid now. Hard to describe the flavour, to me they just taste richer than normal chocolate. Apparently mexican people have been using chocolate with chili for eons, but they have some odd kind of unsweetened stuff they use for savoury foods.

As for the others, i've not tried them yet but they look yummy....and will no doubt ruin all my hard work at the gym.

Dammit, screencapping letterboxed DVD is hard. How come it comes out at 4:3 on Photoshop when it is widescreen in the player? Ive tried 2 diff players with the same result. I have to skew it manually which isnt ideal.

It's your Darko DVD, it wants you to leave it alone. Poor, abused DVD, watched over and over and over and over, like a eddy in time's stream.

Michael Stuchbery (Mikey Bidness), Wednesday, 16 February 2005 04:55 (twenty years ago)

Yeah, I've had that problem too. I was trying screen cap bits of the cremaster DVD thingy and it would fuck it up every single time. Very annoying.

Can anyone tell me where this line/song came from? A woman's voice speaking, not singing,
'He tried to give me syphilis by wiping his cock on my sandwich.'
It was on an album I heard in the early 80s (though it may have been older than that) and was possibly an Australian band but I just can't remember.
Please help me dear mongrels/fuxors!

SPK - Leicheschrei.

jeebus, that would be a very special record. what's the most you musical types have ever paid for one single recording electric sound?

gem (trisk), Thursday, 17 February 2005 02:34 (twenty years ago)

i've never paid more than $260 for anything (hello, riptides debut single). i would go higher for certain records, but these tend to be the sort of records that command a fortnight's salary.

shine headlights on me (electricsound), Thursday, 17 February 2005 02:36 (twenty years ago)

i guess it's a kind of investment anyway. and an investment you can listen to as well as make $$ on is pretty cool. only i fear i'd be too scared to play it in case i scratched it or something.

I paid $50 apiece for each release of The Beatles Anthology on vinyl. I think it's already worth loads more than that.

I wonder where Graeme Revell and co. used to get this material from? Were SPK writing these lyrics, or quoting, or even sampling, mental patients?

kate/papa november (papa november), Monday, 21 February 2005 02:16 (twenty years ago)

Um, yeah, it was good, if small. I enjoyed seeing all the Durer, the Klinger and the Blake but I had a nice wander through the rest of the gallery as well. Caitlin made the Greco-Roman room really interesting with her classics knowledge. We picked up some postcards to put around the apartment and a nice Durer print of a Rhinoceros. A good time was had.

A word of caution - take care when choosing your "command words" and "smart phrases" to avoid words your dog is likely to hear on the television. It took 4 episodes of Ali McBeal before I realised that my "full evacuation" command was in the theme song.

i recorded something on my new "rig" for the first time last night! it consisted of me going 'testing, testing' for 15 seconds. installing pro tools is easily one of the most frustrating tasks i've ever undertaken.

shine headlights on me (electricsound), Tuesday, 22 February 2005 23:43 (twenty years ago)

So this is it - you're going techno.

thee music mole, Tuesday, 22 February 2005 23:44 (twenty years ago)

sort of. i imagine that the first hundreddozen songs i produce will sound like Morr label pastiches.

shine headlights on me (electricsound), Tuesday, 22 February 2005 23:45 (twenty years ago)

Well I am looking forward to hearing it.

thee music mole, Tuesday, 22 February 2005 23:47 (twenty years ago)

woohoo! i still want to do that remix too

shine headlights on me (electricsound), Wednesday, 23 February 2005 00:01 (twenty years ago)

YEAH BABY.

Be warned however: I am not only past it, I have unhealthy graver tendencies these days and am still MAD for Judas Priest. I really am not sure how it happened and it's all a little embarassing.

The other remix project I'm undertaking at the moment is a kinda electro remix thingy for a four girl flouro goth band called Acti*n F*gures. They are trouble.

thee music mole, Wednesday, 23 February 2005 00:11 (twenty years ago)

good name tho

shine headlights on me (electricsound), Wednesday, 23 February 2005 00:20 (twenty years ago)

When a resume form wants 'technical environment', what does that mean?

Autumn Almanac (Autumn Almanac), Wednesday, 23 February 2005 02:15 (twenty years ago)

i found this on googlee

http://www.landmarksoftware.com.au/techenv.htm

shine headlights on me (electricsound), Wednesday, 23 February 2005 02:21 (twenty years ago)

Hmm. Thanks, but it being on a resume still confuses me.

Autumn Almanac (Autumn Almanac), Wednesday, 23 February 2005 02:24 (twenty years ago)

Does it seem to refer to is as a software brand/item they want you to know?

Trayce (trayce), Wednesday, 23 February 2005 02:26 (twenty years ago)

It's asking me the 'technical environment' of each job I've had. Like, wtf?

Autumn Almanac (Autumn Almanac), Wednesday, 23 February 2005 02:30 (twenty years ago)

Ah. Hmm. Lemme check that Right management folder, I borrowed it off Dom.. it might say, gimme a tic.

Trayce (trayce), Wednesday, 23 February 2005 02:30 (twenty years ago)

Hmm its not much help. I'd say tech env would refer to the kinds of s/w and h/w you worked with perhaps. It doesnt come up in WhatIs.. how annyoing.

Trayce (trayce), Wednesday, 23 February 2005 02:33 (twenty years ago)

i think trayce is right

shine headlights on me (electricsound), Wednesday, 23 February 2005 02:36 (twenty years ago)

shocker!!!

shine headlights on me (electricsound), Wednesday, 23 February 2005 02:36 (twenty years ago)

teehee only kidding

shine headlights on me (electricsound), Wednesday, 23 February 2005 02:36 (twenty years ago)

Thanks Trayce.

Autumn Almanac (Autumn Almanac), Wednesday, 23 February 2005 02:37 (twenty years ago)

Shaddup Jim ;P

I wouldnt rely entirely on my surmise tho - hell I still havent even done my cv yet.

Trayce (trayce), Wednesday, 23 February 2005 02:40 (twenty years ago)

i just read 'cv yet' as 'crypt'. i think it's all the goth vibes in here

shine headlights on me (electricsound), Wednesday, 23 February 2005 02:40 (twenty years ago)

i wish i had something caffeinated

shine headlights on me (electricsound), Wednesday, 23 February 2005 02:41 (twenty years ago)

Let me guess Trayce! You get up, go 'have to look at jobs today, ho hum', eat, have coffee, eat, look at internet, have coffee, eat, internet, eat, coffee, internet, eat, than it's time for bed. OTM?

Autumn Almanac (Autumn Almanac), Wednesday, 23 February 2005 02:43 (twenty years ago)

You're a cruel cruel man Adam.

thee music mole, Wednesday, 23 February 2005 02:47 (twenty years ago)

that sounds like every single day i don't spend at work

shine headlights on me (electricsound), Wednesday, 23 February 2005 02:49 (twenty years ago)

It's not cruel, it's my routine.

Autumn Almanac (Autumn Almanac), Wednesday, 23 February 2005 02:51 (twenty years ago)

Sounds like every single day for me full stop (Minus the looking for jobs thing) I think I just fell into a job assisting a photographer and I don't think I really want it.

Can you get out of it?

Autumn Almanac (Autumn Almanac), Wednesday, 23 February 2005 02:56 (twenty years ago)

Adam, you got it in one. Man. Its awful innit? Yesterday right, I forced myself to go to the shops. At about 3.45 I was like "shit I have GOT to get out of the house, ok I'll go now". When I looked up again it was 5pm. Fuck! How does that happen?

Trayce (trayce), Wednesday, 23 February 2005 03:06 (twenty years ago)

I suppose so. Trouble is my sister hooked it up for me and will be all annoyed if I don't go through with it.

kate/papa november (papa november), Wednesday, 23 February 2005 03:06 (twenty years ago)

Argh, so family's a factor. How much longer? Is it a contract or definite-length casual thing?

Yesterday right, I forced myself to go to the shops. At about 3.45 I was like "shit I have GOT to get out of the house, ok I'll go now". When I looked up again it was 5pm. Fuck! How does that happen?

The internet. That's how it happens. The bloody internet. You can be sat there going through a job site for HOURS and it'll feel like 15 minutes.

Autumn Almanac (Autumn Almanac), Wednesday, 23 February 2005 03:09 (twenty years ago)

Casual thing. I guess studio work wouldn't be so bad, but I really don't want to have anything to do with wedding photography. So boring.

kate/papa november (papa november), Wednesday, 23 February 2005 03:12 (twenty years ago)

Ugh it's wedding photography? That's got to be the worst, everyone wants exactly the same thing. You could feasibly paste anyone's heads on a generic set of wedding photos and nobody would know the difference.

...I'm not helping am I?

Autumn Almanac (Autumn Almanac), Wednesday, 23 February 2005 03:14 (twenty years ago)

AGH now it won't let me register without putting my desired salary. FUCK.

Autumn Almanac (Autumn Almanac), Wednesday, 23 February 2005 03:14 (twenty years ago)

Desired salary? That's so stupid. It should be expected salary, i mean that is if they want honesty. Who isn't secretly wishing for a billion trillion dollars as their desired income?!

kate/papa november (papa november), Wednesday, 23 February 2005 03:16 (twenty years ago)

AAAAAAAAAAAGH STUPID FUCKING CUNT THING. I put an amount and I can't change it. Fucking fuckers.

Autumn Almanac (Autumn Almanac), Wednesday, 23 February 2005 03:17 (twenty years ago)

What do they have to be so fucking nosey?? Cunts.

Autumn Almanac (Autumn Almanac), Wednesday, 23 February 2005 03:18 (twenty years ago)

haitch (haitch), Wednesday, 23 February 2005 03:20 (twenty years ago)

I had a dream about you last night.

Autumn Almanac (Autumn Almanac), Wednesday, 23 February 2005 03:21 (twenty years ago)

I am... intrigued.

haitch (haitch), Wednesday, 23 February 2005 03:23 (twenty years ago)

I was in the city and I needed to use an internet terminal, and you said 'come to my place!' It turned out you lived in this massively opulent million-storey apartment on the corner of Collins and Elizabeth streets [because your dad was a developer or something, never found out], and you had an ENTIRE floor that was 50% swimming pool and 50% a big wonky modernist table covered in internet terminals. You went out of the room, I jumped on one and started looking at things, and you came back in and told me off for using your equipment. Then I went out to the pool and fellow 4BGers such as Pep were in there having fun.

Autumn Almanac (Autumn Almanac), Wednesday, 23 February 2005 03:25 (twenty years ago)

That is fantastically odd. What colour was the table?

haitch (haitch), Wednesday, 23 February 2005 03:30 (twenty years ago)

Genuine lacquered pine. So not a modernist colour scheme then.

Autumn Almanac (Autumn Almanac), Wednesday, 23 February 2005 03:31 (twenty years ago)

Hey, wheres Gem been lately?

kate/papa november (papa november), Wednesday, 23 February 2005 03:42 (twenty years ago)

She's about to tell you! Watch:

Autumn Almanac (Autumn Almanac), Wednesday, 23 February 2005 03:44 (twenty years ago)

Yes, I just noticed she's around, just not right here.

kate/papa november (papa november), Wednesday, 23 February 2005 03:44 (twenty years ago)

i am around! i'm trying to finish up a MAMMOTH voluntary project for uni, my brain is melted. the project was editing the law school's 2005 careers handbook, it is 200 pages long and i just this morning received a proof of the printed version it looks SO BEAUTIFUL. it's like i've just given birth i'm so excited. i think i have reached new heights of geekdom.

gem (trisk), Wednesday, 23 February 2005 03:47 (twenty years ago)

Awesome! You're excused :)

kate/papa november (papa november), Wednesday, 23 February 2005 03:51 (twenty years ago)

it looks SO BEAUTIFUL. it's like i've just given birth i'm so excited.

Awesome! That's the kind of work I'm trying to get paid to do atm.

Yes, I just noticed she's around, just not right here.

Oh sorry.

I've got a new contact!! CHRIST.

Autumn Almanac (Autumn Almanac), Wednesday, 23 February 2005 03:52 (twenty years ago)

New contact? Where?

btw, don't be sorry. I think I confused you to start with.

kate/papa november (papa november), Wednesday, 23 February 2005 03:54 (twenty years ago)

ok i just checked it again (for the 100th time) and it's actually 215 pages long!! no wonder my brain is melted. it really does look astonishingly fantastic even if i do say so myself. if i don't get some bloody good clerkships out of this i don't know what i'll do.

gem (trisk), Wednesday, 23 February 2005 03:54 (twenty years ago)

New contact? Where?

At an employment agency, and she employs people who do what I want to do! So it's good. I think this one WILL answer my calls.

...

215 pages?? Crikey, no wonder you're buggered. Did you do all the DTP as well?

Autumn Almanac (Autumn Almanac), Wednesday, 23 February 2005 04:07 (twenty years ago)

By "do what I want to do" what kind of work are you meaning?

Trayce (trayce), Wednesday, 23 February 2005 04:12 (twenty years ago)

Tech writing. Sorry.

Autumn Almanac (Autumn Almanac), Wednesday, 23 February 2005 04:13 (twenty years ago)

no thank god, one of our sponsors got their firm's design team to do the DTP stuff as part of their sponsorship agreement. that's partly why it looks (aesthetically) so speccy.

gem (trisk), Wednesday, 23 February 2005 04:16 (twenty years ago)

Excellent. I hope you find something you like :)

xpost

kate/papa november (papa november), Wednesday, 23 February 2005 04:16 (twenty years ago)

Ah. I wouldnt mind it either, but my problem with tech writing is usually they call for specific knowledge also of the thing you're writing about - and when that thing is something like .NET or a Java engine or an Oracle database, I'm lost.

I have done tech writing of training documents for my last job, in fact I ended up doing other people's as well cause I was the only one doing it properly, the buggers.

But yeah I'm not sure if I'm techy enough (ie cant code for shit) to really pursue tech writing.

If I was writing basic user guide stuff for dopey end users ina big company, I'd be right. I've done helpfiles for a CD installer for an ISP before.

Trayce (trayce), Wednesday, 23 February 2005 04:17 (twenty years ago)

The other problem with showing off stuff like tech writing is, how do you show your good work when it was all in-confidence stuff from yr last company that you just cant show to other clients? Guh.

Trayce (trayce), Wednesday, 23 February 2005 04:21 (twenty years ago)

Kate: Thanks :)

Trayce: Tech writing is pretty broad. There's even call for it in the automotive industry, and some organisations just want their internal processes documented. As long as you gather the right information from the right people, a lot of the work turns out to be far less esoteric than it looks.

I'm lucky with the in-confidence thing, because I did an entire user manual that went out to thousands of customers, so it's not secret, and I kept a handful of copies.

Autumn Almanac (Autumn Almanac), Wednesday, 23 February 2005 04:23 (twenty years ago)

Is there anything you did that you can get copies of to show to people? Stuff that's intended for an outside audience and therefore is not so sensitive?

Autumn Almanac (Autumn Almanac), Wednesday, 23 February 2005 04:24 (twenty years ago)

Well yeah internal process documentation (and process improvment/biz analsyst work) is something I got to do a lot of in my last year or so at aapt and I liked it.

See, I'd be happy to show stuff, but I dont want to be making the new potential employer think "hey she's showing off company senstive documents! Thats no good".

he only thing I can think of would be the helpfiles I worked on for our Office.Net dialup product... but that divebombed in a spectacular way (nothing to do with me, just bad marketing). I dont know if I have copies anyway. Hrm I can at least list what I did I guess.

Trayce (trayce), Wednesday, 23 February 2005 04:28 (twenty years ago)

See, I'd be happy to show stuff, but I dont want to be making the new potential employer think "hey she's showing off company senstive documents! Thats no good".

I tell people up front 'this went to customers, it's not sensitive information', and then I tell them about all the other writing I did that I can't show them. They seem to understand though.

Autumn Almanac (Autumn Almanac), Wednesday, 23 February 2005 04:55 (twenty years ago)

makes sense.

Trayce (trayce), Wednesday, 23 February 2005 05:06 (twenty years ago)

Man, I just found out my friends lathe cut thingy on heliotone sold out on its first day. Ker-razy!

shine headlights on me (electricsound), Wednesday, 23 February 2005 05:25 (twenty years ago)

i've done very badly getting hold of the heliotone stuff. i've missed out on half the stuff he's put out.

shine headlights on me (electricsound), Wednesday, 23 February 2005 05:26 (twenty years ago)

Apparently Luke (my friend) was approached by the guy and didn't know what lathe cut vinyl was. I had to explain....although I can't say I would've known if you'd not told me several months earlier :)

kate/papa november (papa november), Wednesday, 23 February 2005 05:29 (twenty years ago)

this sounds interesting, tell me a bit more about it

thee music mole, Wednesday, 23 February 2005 05:35 (twenty years ago)

Well he's 16. I've known him for about 2 years. He's certainly gifted, but needs polishing. Just gone into the studio for the first time late last year. I did the cover art for his first self-produced EP. Not much else to say.

kate/papa november (papa november), Wednesday, 23 February 2005 05:41 (twenty years ago)

oh luke hirst. i didn't even get a guernsey at that one. i wish he (heliotone dude) released more copies of things, it's obvious the demand is there...

kate/papa november (papa november), Wednesday, 23 February 2005 05:43 (twenty years ago)

His website is down. I broked it when my webhosting went down a few months back.

kate/papa november (papa november), Wednesday, 23 February 2005 05:43 (twenty years ago)

If I ever meet him, I'll say to him, 'That Kate friend of yours is seriously underselling your record on the web, man. Trying to get any info off her was near impossible, it was like you were Jandek or something'.

thee music mole, Wednesday, 23 February 2005 05:48 (twenty years ago)

Hahaha....you can't sell what isn't able to be purchased.

kate/papa november (papa november), Wednesday, 23 February 2005 05:51 (twenty years ago)
