T*mp*ulin in the Guardian

To save Katie's modesty, and in case no one has told her yet, I would note that T*mp*ulin's new single Give Me A Riot In The Summertime is featured on the Guardian's New Singles review page this week. Andrew Mueller says "T*mpa*lin, it has to be suspected, are on the verge of something," which is vague but certainly intended positively. Hooray!

I saw that too, Well done Ktee!

I always found that band to be too 'Bell and sebastian' for my liking.

― Julio Desouza (jdesouza), Saturday, 17 August 2002 12:42 (twenty-three years ago)

yeah cause belle and sebastian invented pretty mostly acoustic music. they're more harvest ministers.

Ktee will kick your ass.

― Graham (graham), Saturday, 17 August 2002 13:24 (twenty-three years ago)

hooray indeed for ktee... but i think in posting, users should write T*mpa*lin to thwart Googlers, as Tom did on the Chart Pop thread.

― Dave M. (rotten03), Saturday, 17 August 2002 14:02 (twenty-three years ago)

why should we thwart T*mp*ulin googlers?

― DV (dirtyvicar), Saturday, 17 August 2002 14:04 (twenty-three years ago)

maybe she doesn't want throngs of fans asking her what kind of bass strings she uses... i dunno, i just remember her yelling at Tom on the Chart Pop thread. whaddaya want form me?

― Dave M. (rotten03), Saturday, 17 August 2002 14:16 (twenty-three years ago)

Money?

T*m P*ulin himself (thwarting any googling Newsnight Review fans) is a big fan of T*mpaulin, isn't he? Except I'm sure he compared them with B*lle and S*bastian (thwarting googling French cartoon fans).

That some terrible p*rn should make us all resort to th*s...

I think I inadvertently started the asterisks craze. I am so prou*.

You know Text Twist was in Saturday's Guardian Guide too. We shall take over, oh yes.

― Anna, Sunday, 18 August 2002 17:45 (twenty-three years ago)

Yay. Maybe they're on the verge of shaking off those stupid Belle and Sebastian comparisons. The 'p*ulin will always mean more to me than Stuart Murdoch's lot, if only for the 3 minutes of heaven that is "My life as a a carcrash"..

― electric sound of jim (electricsound), Monday, 19 August 2002 00:36 (twenty-three years ago)

whoo-hoo!!! 'xcept i didn't see it, i was too busy playing a DISASTROUS (but fun) country gig... oh well. b*lle and s*b*stian can bite my shiny metal ass!

― katie (katie), Monday, 19 August 2002 06:58 (twenty-three years ago)

Good sentiments all. :-)

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Monday, 19 August 2002 15:05 (twenty-three years ago)

How can you resist a band where the bassist has a shiny metal ass? It's like Sigue Sigue Sputnik all over again!

― Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Monday, 19 August 2002 15:09 (twenty-three years ago)

hehehe. it is very, very shiny!

― katie (katie), Monday, 19 August 2002 15:11 (twenty-three years ago)

Is it polished daily?

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Monday, 19 August 2002 15:31 (twenty-three years ago)

Or waxed? (I AM A VERY BAD MANG)

― Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Monday, 19 August 2002 15:45 (twenty-three years ago)

Buffed.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Monday, 19 August 2002 16:19 (twenty-three years ago)

T*mpa*lin p*rn?

Now that would be rub.

(ps hip hip hooray for katie on her magical band getting mentioned in the guardian day)

― jel -- (jel), Monday, 19 August 2002 20:14 (twenty-three years ago)

ARGH. We have a new pun queen.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Monday, 19 August 2002 22:28 (twenty-three years ago)

Bugger me. So Katie is the bassist of Tompaulin. How bizarre. one of my best mates is in a band on Uglyman Records - he's the drummer from Bonebox, name of Tim Mullett.

That old six degrees of separation thing again I guess.

― misterjones, Tuesday, 20 August 2002 12:35 (twenty-three years ago)

shhhhhhh!!! it's t*mp*ulin!!!!

― Dave M. (rotten03), Tuesday, 20 August 2002 12:37 (twenty-three years ago)

DANG AND NED... oh never mind ;)

― katie (katie), Tuesday, 20 August 2002 12:39 (twenty-three years ago)

(coo blimey also, small world eh mr jones?)

― katie (katie), Tuesday, 20 August 2002 12:44 (twenty-three years ago)

Tell you what Katie, here's even bizarrer. ELliot Eastwick who presents that Granada show you were on a month or so back is my girlfriend's next door neighbour but one.

― misterjones (misterjones), Tuesday, 20 August 2002 12:46 (twenty-three years ago)

DANG AND NED... oh never mind ;)

Hurrah! We have made Katie happy. :-)

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Tuesday, 20 August 2002 14:38 (twenty-three years ago)

*sniff* I'd like to thank my mom and dad first of all, because without them none of this would have been possible. I'd also like to thank the Academy, my wonderful co-star Ned, the director, the producers... All you have made this a very special experience for me. *tears up* T-thank you. *nods humbly, moves away from podium clutching statuette*

What he said, of course, with appropriate name substitution. Yay us!
