More pearls of gazdom, awesome

gazcom (NickB), Thursday, 3 December 2015 18:28 (nine years ago)

Should do a collection - the Tao of Gaz, or The Little Book of Coombes, something like that

"I lived quite hard and pretty fast, it was a great experience."

Tell us about the time you woke up in Corsica after a monster sesh with MES and Lemmy

Ah, the 'soundtrack for a film that doesn't exist' is the new 'we do the music we like and if people like it...'

Well, not new, but.

Mark G, Friday, 4 December 2015 08:01 (nine years ago)

It's basically like making a concept album but ceding ownership to a non-existent film director

gazcom (NickB), Friday, 4 December 2015 08:19 (nine years ago)

as much as i enjoy the bloody mindedness of this meme, i feel like gaz isn't like enough of a moron to fit this meme. like supergrass weren't that bad, were they? he's not like a noel gallagher figure...

that's coombsey alright

japanese mage (LocalGarda), Friday, 4 December 2015 08:42 (nine years ago)

you'd think that after a couple of decades the striking terribleness of the name 'gaz coombes' would have softened, but nope, every time, there it is, 'gaz coombes'

Merdeyeux, Friday, 4 December 2015 11:48 (nine years ago)

^ nail on head

Otago Imago (Tom D.), Friday, 4 December 2015 11:53 (nine years ago)

"So, is it Gareth these days?"
"No, still Gaz"

Master of Treacle, Friday, 4 December 2015 11:55 (nine years ago)

Still think Junior Giscombe should sue him. Or make him change his name to Gaz Coombes Jr to prevent further confusion.

gazcom (NickB), Friday, 4 December 2015 11:59 (nine years ago)

The Artist Formerly Known as Gaz

The Male Gaz Coombes (Neil S), Friday, 4 December 2015 12:00 (nine years ago)

Gaz, or as he's known in the UK, Gazoo

gazcom (NickB), Friday, 4 December 2015 12:01 (nine years ago)

i love the name gaz coombes

Having Danny on drums for all those years, I never had any need to venture into an electronic drum kit.

welltris (crüt), Friday, 4 December 2015 12:09 (nine years ago)

obviously it's "when I’m working, I can be very professional.”

ogmor, Friday, 4 December 2015 12:10 (nine years ago)

Not sure why anybody would think this ongoing celebration of ILM's guiding spirit is a mere meme. I save memes for the pub table.

Sancho Panzer (Noodle Vague), Friday, 4 December 2015 12:23 (nine years ago)

Here we go, two bald men arguing over a coombes

gazcom (NickB), Friday, 4 December 2015 12:54 (nine years ago)

Much too hard to choose. Ban the Yorkshire Evening Post, I say.

Ah, the 'soundtrack for a film that doesn't exist' is the new 'we do the music we like and if people like it...'

In the 60s Nina Simone introduced "Mississippi Goddam" as a showtune from a musical that hadn't been written yet. Is that where that originated? Nina added that if NME journalists liked it, that was a bonus.

Bowie quote is cruelly cut short:

"I still listen to Bowie but I like to search around for new things, like when I found a song by this band called This Heat"

glandular lansbury (sic), Saturday, 5 December 2015 00:58 (nine years ago)

followed by "Some of the stuff they did was not really listenable."

xelab, Saturday, 5 December 2015 01:30 (nine years ago)

The full quote is immaculate but I wasn't sure how long you could make poll options

Sancho Panzer (Noodle Vague), Saturday, 5 December 2015 01:35 (nine years ago)

he is a very complex person and sometimes you have to decipher how much of this Coombesian enigma he presents to the yorkshire evening post is subterfuge, because he is in *that* place right now.

xelab, Saturday, 5 December 2015 02:15 (nine years ago)

i.e. Yorkshire.

the ethos in this meme was trying to be different
