Someone here at work forwarded me this link:

Anyway, it's guidelines for rules to become an evil overlord (note number 100, Kate!!!). If you were an evil overlord, what would you do?

So why don't you put these in effect when it comes to Strange Fruit? Stop letting your minions push you around!

― Kate the Saint, Friday, 20 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

It's a *Collective*!!! They're my friends, not my minions!!! Good grief!

― Paul Strange, Friday, 20 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Collective? When are you just going to stop with that nonsense.

oops! ::just realises that half The Hive, I mean The Collective read this board::

Yeah, yeah, collective. Uh-huh. Great big commune in the sky. Pure communism, especially according to the Humphrey Definition.

― Kate the Saint, Friday, 20 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I'm not going to encourage you any further.

― Paul Strange, Friday, 20 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

No, of course not. I've come to the conclusion already that you're secretly a masochist.

― Kate the Saint, Friday, 20 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Actually, I'm secretly a sadomasochist. Have you not seen the outfits under the bed?!

― Paul Strange, Friday, 20 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

The rubber inflatable ones? I should be so lucky!

― Kate the Saint, Friday, 20 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I need to get a puncture repair kit, now I think about it...

― Paul Strange, Friday, 20 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Yeah, holes in your rubbers have been very problematic, as we've both seen. ;-P

― Kate the Saint, Friday, 20 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Were we even wearing rubber outfits then? I do believe we'd left them under the bed on that particular occasion.

― Paul Strange, Friday, 20 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

::shakes head slowly::

I hate having to explain American dirty jokes to my own BF...

― Kate the Saint, Friday, 20 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I must say that this is the most interesting evil scheme to take over the world I've ever seen. "We'll make veiled references to our fantastic sex life until everyone on Earth runs in terror or goes into a terminal fit of depressed jealousy! Break out the ball gag and the cocoa butter! MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!"

― Dan Perry, Friday, 20 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I was just wondering what would happen if someone else happened to walk in on our little domestic squabble...

― Kate the Saint, Friday, 20 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Dan, you've spoiled *everything*. I wanted to see how long they'd go on.

― Nick, Friday, 20 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Not very long, Nick. I actually have to *do* stuff today. Like, make a vegan death curry for the ILE free jazz picnic tomorrow.

― Kate the Saint, Friday, 20 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Get some of those death chips as well. I defy anyone to eat both death curry and death chips and death salsa. Only satan himself could deal with that.

And I got the rubbers reference! How many Americans have I dated?! :)

I want to come home. I hate sitting at work. Just thought I'd say that...!

― Paul Strange, Friday, 20 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Please, *do* go on, the both of you. I want to see what a series of live postings from SF would be like from you, actually, a merry squabble while DJing or something. ;-)

― Ned Raggett, Friday, 20 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I'm horrifically unapproachable whilst DJing!!! It's scary. RickyT and Kate will both vouch for this: the only conversation I can muster is taking requests (which I'm happy to do). Aside from that I seem to concentrate solely on the records and the mood. Bothering me during DJing can lead to some very frosty responses indeed, and I apologise for all of them.

― Paul Strange, Friday, 20 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

If I were an evil Overlord I would make everyone listen to Captain and Tenille on the fast speed all day every day

― Mike Hanle y, Friday, 20 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Paul has actually YELLED at me while DJ-ing. And I wasn't even drunk! All I did was request a song which I saw was already lying in his "to be played" pile. And he screamed at me! It was vastly unpleasant, so I went back to dancing with a very intoxicated Carsmilesteve.

If I were an evil overlord, I would hire someone who was much smarter than me, and tell them that they are in control, and tell them they're the leader, and make them do everything, and control everything secretly from behind their sheild! I mean, that's how Ver Lolleez work, after all. And Strange... whoops! Shhhhh...

― Kate the Saint, Friday, 20 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I actually yelled because I was trying to play the song you wanted, and the CD player died on me. I hate it when stuff goes wrong like that. But I was very mean, and I'm sorry. I lost my temper at the last Strange Fruit, too, for different reasons.

Kate, if you were secretly running Strange Fruit, do you think we'd have had Fosca and Trembling Blue Stars this many times? :)

― Paul Strange, Friday, 20 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

REVERSE PSYCHOLOGY!

― Dan Perry, Friday, 20 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Dan - I bet you're right. I bet right now, when I'm not home, Kate is listening to Fosca and Trembling Blue Stars because she secretly thinks they're great. The Spacerock thing is just a cover! Damn - I was so easily manipulated!

― Paul Strange, Friday, 20 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

The song I wanted was on 7" so you had no right to yell at me.

And yes, great wibbling twee bands like Sonic Boom's E.A.R. and the Channel 6... Rugby is the world's centre of twee, don't you know?

― Kate the Saint, Friday, 20 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Really? I thought you wanted the Shangri-La's! What was the song on 7- inch? Most confused....

― Paul Strange, Friday, 20 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Oh, *that* time... well, then you yelled at me twice, then. I had forgotten about that. I was thinking of when I asked you to play Dandy Warhols Everyday Should Be A Holiday and you snapped at me.

Man, you're not nice when you DJ. ;-)

Then again, I'm not nice before I go onstage, either. Oh well.

― Kate the Saint, Friday, 20 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Well, Sonic Boom *is* twee. Who else would put out a release with sticky candies all over the cover? In the photo, not in real life, though that would have been cool too...

― Ned Raggett, Friday, 20 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

What do you do if your vinyl skips and you are djing?

― Mike Hanle y, Friday, 20 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

he flips out and gets all hysterical... ;-)

Sonic Boom has great album art! Sweets, little toys, cartoons... it's like tweexperimental music. His first solo album had a whole army of little toys and MR BONES COFFINS!!! on it. I love Mr Bones, it's such a great candy, but I never see it any more.

― Kate the Saint, Friday, 20 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I don't freak out if it skips. But if something goes really wrong, like the power cuts out or the CD goes belly-up (vinyl rarely seems to pose as many problems) I get very stressed indeed. I just get a bit intense whilst DJing I guess. I like my sets to be perfect.

― Paul Strange, Friday, 20 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Damn, I remember Mr Bones, too. They don't make it anymore. Probably because it was full of some scary chemicals. I used to keep my miniature toy dinosaurs in Mr Bones coffins.

― Paul Strange, Friday, 20 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I have always wondered what Djs do during skippage. Id way rather break a string than have a skip.

― Mike Hanle y, Friday, 20 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

True. If a string breaks a string breaks - if a record skips everyone thinks it's your fault. Even if it's caused by a punter punching the DJ booth in a rage.

RickyT had the worst moment: all the power on the decks going off mysteriously. Horrible.

― Paul Strange, Friday, 20 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I love the way that discussion of evil overlords has mutated into a thread about DJ's... or is that a mutation at all? ;-)

― Kate the Saint, Friday, 20 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I was mightily fucked off with the power disappearing, particularly as it buggered up my only proper mix of the night. All I could do is stand there looking gormless whilst everyone ran around trying to restore the power. I felt like a right lemon.

― Richard Tunnicliffe, Friday, 20 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

The worst thing is that everyone thinks it's the DJ's fault, when it isn't. The problem was actually in another room (a loose plug).
