If you've got something to say to me then just bloody well say it.

I am irritated because both my home e-mail and work e-mail have gone up the creek, so there is no way except by - shudder - the power of speech that anyone outside the office can tell me anything. So this thread is where you can remedy that. Not that I'm expecting any of you to actually have anything important to tell me but you know, just in case!

When I've got my e-mails back then by all means use this thread for the usual bullshit. Not that you wouldn't anyway.

― Tom, Tuesday, 19 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

1: erm tom i am planning to the unused vv hear'say piece and "king&kym in marksinkerland: a response to f.kogan" as parts two and three of a whatevah some time this week

2: macwarehouse are being technologically crapped out so my new fast computer may not be with me for some weeks after all

3: something else i wouldn't have told you be email anyway

4: and THAT'S IT!

Just to say that I really enjoyed SUSSED in its new venue and I'm looking forward to the next one.

― MarkH, Tuesday, 19 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

This is a direct copy and paste of the e-mail I sent in reply to yours this morning:

Spooky - I was just about to e-mail you. I even had the window open containing the addresses of all the Tom's I know. But you beat me to it. Blogger, with whatever I type in says the user name is taken. And I'm not sure I want to be called 44hheI anyway. I tried and tried and tried to get the damn thing to work, but since I was going through my attack of Techno Bimboitis at the time I thought I'd come back to it when my brain had returned. Brain returned and blogger problems did not lift. It just doesn't like me. Any solutions as to how I can win it's love? Anna

― Anna, Tuesday, 19 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Mark (S) - Great!

Mark (H) - Thanks!

Anna (F) - hmm. I'll try plan B which is create a User ID myself and e-mail you the password. Cheers!

― Tom, Tuesday, 19 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Thanks. It was about to drive me over the edge.

― Anna, Tuesday, 19 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Of course creating the user ID for myself is hampered by my work e- mail not working. But it should sort itself out tomorrow.

― Tom, Tuesday, 19 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Right - you should be getting an e-mail from Blogger now, Anna.

― Tom, Tuesday, 19 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

TOM: where did you put the REMOTE? love,
jess

― jess, Tuesday, 19 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

It's on the glass-topped table, near the pile of focus group comments.

― Tom, Tuesday, 19 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Are you trying to bait Anthony Tom?

― Nicole, Tuesday, 19 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Fancy a payday trip to the pub quiz, Tom? GO ON.

― Sarah, Tuesday, 19 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I can't go for that (no can do). I'm working from home Friday and coming down Thursday and can't be arsed making the trip down twice, also can't get away with not being around two days this week.

― Tom, Tuesday, 19 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

For a minute I thought Spooky was Annas pet name for Tom.

― Ally C, Tuesday, 19 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

URGENT:

TOM.....WAS DRIVING THRU BACKROADS OF HONKYSHIRE PROVINCE, ENGLAND WITH A RUTHLESS NATTY DREAD SITTING SHOTTIE.....WAS PULLED OVER BY RACIST COP WHO ROOKED MY 'KNAVE' PORNO MAGS (AVAIL. ONLY IN UK), I SAID "TAKE EM, GRILLES ARE BUSTED ANYHOW".....HE GOT EXTRA PISSED AND RIFLED THRU MY TRUNK FOR HIDDEN REFUGEE SEGUNDOS....."THIS AIN'T CALI" I SAID BUT HE WASN'T HEARING ME......SO BASICALLY RIGHT NOW I NEED YOU TO SEND SUPPLIES......I'M GOING TO DESTROY THIS COP'S HOUSE WITH THE "MARMITE BOMB" I SAW ON MACGYVER

― Ramosi, Tuesday, 19 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

HONKYSHIRE PROVINCE, ENGLAND

That's one of those rural Tory strongholds, right?

― Ned Raggett, Tuesday, 19 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Ramosi = Son of Smiley Culture?

― fritz, Tuesday, 19 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Aw well nevah mind, YORE TIME WILL COME. Is your email working again yet? A job I haf applied for seems to be rather marketing specific and I wanted to know if you had any advice on lying I mean polishing something to tell them. Urk.

― Sarah, Wednesday, 20 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Spooky is my pet name for Tom. It suits him I think.

― Anna, Wednesday, 20 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

BOTH emails are now working again and I have been happily using my work one to discuss the forthcoming Likely Lads remake starring Ant and Dec!

― Spooky, Wednesday, 20 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

So yeah e-mail away Starry but I'm a market researcher not a marketer so if it's too specific I might not be able to help...

― Tom, Wednesday, 20 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

AHEM i am a marketer. a v.bad one i might add, seeing as how i told Sarah to put "making sushi" as a hobby on her CV :) mmmm but we shall be making sushi very soon...

― katie, Wednesday, 20 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Yo Tom- did ya get my prospective DUEL! logo thing? is it useless and you didn't want to hurt my feelings?

― Mitch Lastnamewithheld, Sunday, 24 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

This is why you haven't responded to my email , i want to be part of NYPLM and i want to know if a trade between volumes 5 and 6 of the American Folk Anthology are a fair trade for the trucker cds ?

― anthony, Monday, 25 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

should i upload anything else to filepile? i would like to put up jonny l or the primadonnas or something

― gareth, Monday, 25 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Gareth - yes.

Mitch - got it, not looked yet but Duel! is going to be on NYLPM not its own page this time (for time/hassle reasons).

Anthony - I'll invite you next time we're 'recruiting' new NYLPM people. Truckers CD - this vols 5 and 6, is that like an addendum to the original 3 volume thing? I know they put out vol. 4, hadn't heard about 5 and 6...?

― Tom, Monday, 25 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

how often should i put things on filepile tom, they don't like it if you put too much up do they?

― gareth, Monday, 25 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

its 4 and 5 not 5 and 6 sorry Tom . My mind is mud , ispent the night writing a phil. paper

― anthony, Monday, 25 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Volume 5 of the Anthology????

― Andrew L, Monday, 25 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Maybe it's all bootlegs!

Gareth - I never upload more than 5 a day and I always make sure at least one other file goes up in between my ones. And nobody's ever flamed me for putting too much up.

― Tom, Monday, 25 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

maybe its four and five then , i dont know , its the annex to the anthology , i do not have the antholgy , having sold it when i was broke and never buying it agian . anyways is it a fair trade ?

― anthony, Monday, 25 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

oh wow, thats loads! i thought it was, like, one a week or something. i'll stick a couple others up this week, and if its too many, just let me know?

― gareth, Monday, 25 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Ah, I think I know what's happened here - the Revenant Vol.4 is a two CD-set, but it still only counts as one volume. Phew.

I thought Tom's Bootleg suggestion was brilliant - Dock Boggs vs. Oxide and Neutrino etc. - until I remembered that chump Moby...

― Andrew L, Monday, 25 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

hi tom! today is my first day of philadelphia unemployment! i am listening to the andrew wk album and finding that while it is fun i can't listen to it for more than 7 songs at a time because it starts to drive me crazy. here's hoping that the songs on this record replace kid rock in the wwf pantheon!

my weekend was ok, drank too much, did my radio show, almost locked myself out of the studio but then MUSIC DIRECTOR EX MACHINA happened and i was let back in just in time for my song to finish, so voila, no dead air!

i have to say also that i originally clicked on this thread expecting some kind of huge fight thing.

― maura, Monday, 25 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Tom - I have e-mailed my '102 words' piece to your normal and emergency addresses an' ting.

― Dr. C, Monday, 25 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Dr C that is great of you - you are the first I believe. That's something else to do tonight - put up instructions for the 102 words piece.

― Tom, Monday, 25 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

put up instructions for the 102 words piece

Wait, what? So are we just choosing already?

― Ned Raggett, Monday, 25 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Too many applicants - and I'm very pleased and impressed by that - for it to be practical to sift through and get all the e-mails. So it'll all be done via a web page. When I put the first pieces - the write-ups - up, I'll also put up a list of who is writing about which for the follow-ups.

― Tom, Monday, 25 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Ha ha it's not working again so I'm reactivating this thread!

― Tom, Wednesday, 27 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

hi tom! *waves*

― katie, Wednesday, 27 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

hi tom!

your company doesn't exist in the eyes of the internet anymore, you know.

anyway i sent you a crazy link

― maura, Wednesday, 27 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Damn it all, I've just written down some amusing scribblings about a record and then reread the rules, and it has to be something I want other people to hear. I wouldn't wish this CD on anybody.

― Sam, Wednesday, 27 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

tom, have you downloaded Ooh I Like It from filepile yet? was it ok to put that up? should i put the primadonnas track up? should i really go to estonia on holiday? do you ever feel like a hip pop dennis potter in marks and spencers lingerie section? why do birds suddenly appear? who do you think will win the fa cup?

― gareth, Friday, 1 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

IS THE HARRY SMITH AN ACCEPTABLE TRADE

― anthony, Friday, 1 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Gareth - No but I will today. Yes. Yes. I went and liked it but it was only a day trip. Increasingly. Migration patterns. Oh I dont know - Arsenal probably.

Anthony - Yes. Sorry!

ANYONE WHO SENT ME EMAIL TO WORK YESTERDAY AND WEDNESDAY - I think my server has eaten it to punish me for my huge inbox. Home emails I got though.

― Tom, Friday, 1 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

OK sop email me and we will set it up old time style .

― anthony, Friday, 1 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

one month passes...

I want my 102!

― Jeff W, Monday, 8 April 2002 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

seven months pass...

Here we go again -

No home email - the messages are queued up but it crashes if I try to download them. So over to this thread if you want to get in touch (work email is working though)

― Tom (Groke), Wednesday, 13 November 2002 13:36 (twenty-three years ago)

Tom: do you have an alt. way to get to yr. inbox -- like a webmail portal or something?

This happens to me sometimes on one of my accounts and there's just some fucked message which doesn't follow protocol and makes the program choke when it downloads -- usually spam. I clear it out and everything works fine.

― Sterling Clover (s_clover), Wednesday, 13 November 2002 16:54 (twenty-three years ago)

http://www.mail2web.com/ will work with any mail box. I wuv it.

― Graham (graham), Wednesday, 13 November 2002 17:01 (twenty-three years ago)

I sent you an email last night asking if you could please list my page at http://artists.iuma.com/IUMA/Bands/Sundar_Subramanian/index-1.html on the FT Community Page. Not that it's a really big deal or anything.

― sundar subramanian (sundar), Wednesday, 13 November 2002 17:35 (twenty-three years ago)

Thanks Graham and Sterling!

The FT Community page needs an overhaul for sure.

― Tom (Groke), Wednesday, 13 November 2002 17:37 (twenty-three years ago)

Tom, I've hand written my 102 beats thing. I can give you it at the focus group.

― jel -- (jel), Wednesday, 13 November 2002 18:15 (twenty-three years ago)

where is my AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAASSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSp?

― Queen G (Queeng), Thursday, 14 November 2002 18:18 (twenty-three years ago)
