mongrels et al (sheepfuxors welcome)

old one, for posterity

We're little mongrels / we've lost our sheepfuxors / we don't know where to find them

cozy

Hi....

http://bothbarson.files.wordpress.com/2007/04/tumbleweeds01.jpg

Haitch did you get to any Booka or 'moller shows? 'moller were really good but Booka were RLY RLY good!

I didnt go to moller :( I got fired and I kinda wasnt in the mood hey.

Hey Jim I am playing Tugboat to Rob and he likes it :)

boo Trayce :(

(like everyone said on last thread, change = positive)

OK we're playing in Melb at the N0rthcote Social Club on Jan 26 and I have been assured it's a gigantic venue. How are we going to fill it?? BY MAKING SURE ALL YOU MELBOURNE MONGRELS SHOW UP. You hearin me Trayce? I don't care how crap you think we are. No excuses!

NSC isn't gigantic, but it's decent. 100 people looks like a good crowd, 200 basically fills it.

it's just down the road from me now, but i'll have moved by then. however i will still come along

I'll be there! If I'm not I'll be killed, right? ;P

i shall attend. moodymann later that night, too!

kit: i missed both!

lol @ this, at the NSC the week before moley's visit:

The Drunken Spelling Bee adds a new twist (public drunkenness) to an old favorite (the spelling bee!) Having become a popular underground event in certain UK and US cities, the Drunken Spelling Bee comes to Australia for the first time! Hosted by “America’s Funnyman” Neil Hamburger and “Australia’s drunkest magician” Dr. El Suavo, watch as hapless contestants try to spell pop culture words immediately after downing a shot of booze. Whether you are a spectator or a drinks-included contestant, your sides will split with the hilarity and unpredictability of the Drunken Spelling Bee. Prizes will be awarded.

h you suck

i have to go to coldcut now so no details tho

yay thanks Melb mongs.

we need trayce's opinion on this.

-- chaki

new Bauhaus album, March 4th 2008, "Going Away White" + the end

Tell 'em what they need to know Trayce.

I er... knew nothing about this!

"sheep fuxors welcome"? why, hello there!!

G'day, ya tools!!

NSC do not serve Guinness on tap. Jim knows how I feel about that.

Say a prayer for North Melbourne FC tonight mongs.

I have no sympathy for struggling Melbourne AFL teams (except for Carlton, kthx). Not until everyone realises that the SANFL and WAFL teams were once big league and their status was robbed by greedy Victorians.

Yes, even my beloved South Adelaide Panthers.

it is definitely an oversight. moley should demand some on his rider!

Hey guys, does anyone have Return To Earth by Tumbleweed? I used to have it on cd but I must have lost it.

I can't find it on teh net anywhere and i've wanting to listen to it lately :(

They were the first band I saw live, btw.

haha they were the second band i ever saw live (well, at a proper gig anyway).. riiight after the meanies

which album of that is theirs? i've been looking for all their early vinyl on ebay and their cds seem to come up all the time

Tumbleweed! That "Hey MaryJaaaaaaane" song and the Ratcat song were de rigeur for any young band to learn in my hometown in the early 90s.

Return To Earth is the one with Silver Lizard, I Remember and Marble Moon on it.

Awesome tuunes

I remember when I was important enough to have a rider. Those were the days, my friend, we knew they'd very quickly end.

Proton Engery Pills theres a blast from the past!

we knew they'd very quickly end

hey col! the other week I was in 1x car and FBi was on, and some bloke out of some young person's electronic group had just been playing a bunch of Severed Heads and I&S, and then the DJ was giving it "obv Sev would have been a huge influence on you etc" and he sez (he sez) "actually seeing I&S live at the Big Day Out was a big revelatory moment for me, that made me realise that I could make electronic music in this country myself etc etc." aw.

also I walked past Paul M on Erko Road the other night, he was being given ag by a drunk bloke outside the Imperial (actually I walk past him in the street about once a year, it even happened in Melbourne in 2003)


also also re Sev Heads are we de-indexed on mongthread?

i don't believe we are.. there's certainly no option in the admin menu

booo

If the AFL were smart, and had a modicum of interest about the non-business side of the game, they'd set it up so each state had it's own league, then the finalists in each state play off. More games, less travel, more local support, longer season. But while this would be great for SANFL, WAFL, VFL and the Northern Territory, should they field a league, there'd be resounding resounding silence from NSW and QLD, where everyone is too busy dressing up in women's clothing while bashing faggots while watching the *other* Footy Show.

Anyway, even if you're apathetic about it, no one deserves to be forced to move to the Gold Coast.

Hahahah :D

If the AFL were smart

I hope you don't mind me not reading past this point.

ha!

can we have SH gossip now kit

Can we have Acme Instant Dehydrated Boulder Kit

Can we have instant positive and negative pitchfork review for any given album kit

smashing pumpkins are coming to aussie AND nz!!!

squeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!

i doubt there's much pumpkin love here, and i don't even like their new album much, but i've been such a huge fan since i was 13 and never seen them live, so this is my teenage dream-come-true.

SORRY IS HAPPENING.

And Big Jules Bishop is being a dick about it?

Was she being a dick? I was kind of half asleep when I was watching the news last night.

she probably was!

i think they want to 'preview' the wording of the speech before rudd delivers it, or some such nonsense.

haitch have i missed something or is hercules & love affair secretly totally unremarkable? i was expecting the second coming of vitalic from reading that thread

Just on the sorry thing: It's a landmark day in Aus history, so I'm not surprised so many people in both parties want to be involved.

which trax have you heard jim. personally i loooooove what i've heard but i'm really going for that lush sound atm.

classique #2 and blind

essential trick w/ classique #2: pitch it up to about +8 on turntable. too slow otherwise!!

smashing pumpkins are coming to aussie AND nz!!!

squeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!

First gig I ever went to, they were, in 1996, as a 14-year-old. Was brilliant. Generous, varied set, they were ON.

Of course, now I am old and hate rock music I feel a twinge of nostalgia but nothing else.

my first gig: boom crash opera @ 1992 scout jamboree. straight-up.

mine was meanies/tumbleweed/nirvana. coincidentally i have listened to all three bands in the last few days, for pretty much the first time since back then.

I saw the Pumpkins in 1994(?) when they toured Siamese Dream. They played at A PUB ;P NYERRR!

It were pretty good actually. They toured again a year or 2 later and played Rod Laver. Sucks to be anyone who missed the POW show.

O and this time round they're only doing the V festival, right? Ugh. Duran Duran? I mean gimme a break (I like Duran Duran. but I dont really want to see them live now rather than 25 years ago)

I was going to say that quote from Futurama about wishing I was old enough to feel that way about stuff but I've forgotten it. Whatever, though, I would NOT go and see Duran Duran, even though they were the first "cool" band my older sister played for me.

I played SQUASH this morning. I was very bad - I last played when I was 12 and the physics of the ball, particularly off high shots, caused me all manner of ish. I may do it again.

"Man I can't wait til I'm old enough to feel ways about stuff!"

Fry said it about the Breakfast Club soundtrack. chortle.

in year 10 they started giving us grades for phys ed, and i was rated D and E for most of the year, BUT i got an A for squash.

grades for PE is fucked up

i was awesome at swimming and gym but sucked at everything else. particularly any ball games. i have a long history of fumbling with balls

pub squash!

xpost

the only thing i excelled at was menstruation hoaxes.

Please explain this in detail.

Ah yes, the high school girl pikeout of sport master plan.

i have a long history of fumbling with balls

gave me a chuckle :)

the only thing i excelled at was menstruation hoaxes.

me too!

you try to look pale and sad and you indicate, without being explicit, that you are menstruating (again). you can't overdo it, some of the dumber girls try it every week and lose credibility. rather than refuse to do anything at the outset it's best to feebly pretend to be joining in but double over periodically and 'just sit down for a minute', then you look brave and willing.

i knew i could count on trayce and rubes to understand.

shut-in aspie rubes?

ruby, don't pay him any mind.

i am a semi shut-in aspie rube. so it's ok.

In high school i had an unspecified liver problem (as in, they didnt know what it was, not me being secretive here) that was somewhat like mono. I had a medical cert saying I was excused from sport and PE. The substitue PE teacher one week read it, and said out loud in a disgusted voice in front of the whole class "HAVE YOU GOT HEPATITIS!?"

Um... thanks. No.

was she wearing a whistle around her neck?

No, it was her favourite one and she'd swallowed it.

you can't overdo it, some of the dumber girls try it every week and lose credibility.

bahahahaha that's hilarious.

REAL TALK

vituperation and contumely!

i know what the next mongrels thread title will be

well, there's this thread and play school erotism from which to draw the titles. It's a rich vein.

Keating OTM, except that it's all stroking himself
(and re: "the guy in the navy blue suit from Sussex Street" - is he channelling Rex Hunt? did he take down the thugs in the scallop industry too?)

<i>my first gig: boom crash opera @ 1992 scout jamboree. straight-up.</i>

my first gig: Oils at the Hordern/RHI in 1987, escorted by my scoutmaster! trufax.

bah nu-code

i know what the next mongrels thread title will be

'The quality of the Australian press will rise simply because the mongrels and sheepfuxors will have been excised from it'

Keating used "contumely" twice. I had to look it up. Bit of an odd word.

'Working on the notion that "the mongrels may bark but the sheepfuxors move on"'

the vituperative contumely of the mongrels

lol Adam.

'In a long public life I have made it a rule never to speak ill of the mongrels; to not criticise sheepfuxors who can no longer respond to the criticism'

'You would think that an honest mongrel, who had proselytised against sheepfuxors for years, would give a conscientious government marks for seeing that vast protectionism done in'

HI DERE

"So, in that piggy bank of reasonableness, I have a massive store of sheepfuxors that, in all fairness, I am in a mongrel position to draw on."

Pick the one that will most effectively mystify the non-oceanic ilxors

the 'working on the notion' one seems the most apt

Working on the notion that 'the mongrels may bark but the sheepfuxors move on'
