Sterling C.Lover, you are really in the Velvet Underground. Fess up, now.

― kate, Friday, 23 May 2003 12:30 (twenty-two years ago)

Ok, now you will tell me that ILM's Momus isn't the real Momus...

**winks**

― JP Almeida (JP Almeida), Friday, 23 May 2003 12:36 (twenty-two years ago)

He's clearly an imposter...

Thom Ewing, you are now in Radiohead and Harvey Williams, you are now in So Solid Crew (that is the band that Harvey used to be in, right? Correct me if I am wrong.) What direction are you taking your respective bands in now?

― kate, Friday, 23 May 2003 12:38 (twenty-two years ago)

Well, I thought my thread was funny.

N0rman Ph@y, you are Fatboy Slim!
Alex in NYC, you are Alex in Blur!

It's been done before but...

Julian Casablancas
Dom Passantino
Fabrizio Moretti

Do any of these names look out of place to you?

― Nordicskillz (Nordicskillz), Friday, 23 May 2003 13:00 (twenty-two years ago)

Finally! I was beginning to feel unloved. But you're getting into the spirit of it!

Nordicskillz, you are now in the Kings of Convenience. Hah!

― kate, Friday, 23 May 2003 13:04 (twenty-two years ago)

― kate, Friday, 23 May 2003 13:18 (twenty-two years ago)

Uh, the Strokes please.

― NA. (Nick A.), Friday, 23 May 2003 13:20 (twenty-two years ago)

OK, you can be in the Strokes, along with N., Nickalicious and that other Nick I'm forgetting.

Momus gets to be Nick Rhodes.

― kate, Friday, 23 May 2003 13:22 (twenty-two years ago)

Every Nick on this board is now Nick Rhodes.

We should be so lucky...

― Nicole (Nicole), Friday, 23 May 2003 13:31 (twenty-two years ago)

Sarah McLusky=Sarah McLachlan (which explains why we haven't heard any new music from her: she's too busy posting here!)

― Charles McCain (Charles McCain), Friday, 23 May 2003 13:31 (twenty-two years ago)

Fuck you all.

― Ronan (Ronan), Friday, 23 May 2003 13:32 (twenty-two years ago)

Dan Perry, you are now in Dead Can Dance.

Make a rude comment about that, and I'll stick you in Journey instead!

― kate, Friday, 23 May 2003 13:35 (twenty-two years ago)

luckily, my name does not pertain to anyone in any band.

― Chris V. (Chris V), Friday, 23 May 2003 13:37 (twenty-two years ago)

― Chris V. (Chris V), Friday, 23 May 2003 13:58 (twenty-two years ago)

― hstencil, Friday, 23 May 2003 14:02 (twenty-two years ago)

Ha ha, yes they do! hstencil, you are now Miles Hunt of the Wonder Stuff!

― kate, Friday, 23 May 2003 14:05 (twenty-two years ago)

(Miles and I are both listed very close to each other on the Shellac Friends record, actually.)

― hstencil, Friday, 23 May 2003 14:07 (twenty-two years ago)

Didn't Dr. C used to be in The Shamen?

This would have been before he got his doctorate, of course.

― Stewart Osborne (Stewart Osborne), Friday, 23 May 2003 14:13 (twenty-two years ago)

Bah, there's already a musician with my real name.

― jaymc (jaymc), Friday, 23 May 2003 14:16 (twenty-two years ago)

(The even weirder part is that I could see myself making music like his.)

― jaymc (jaymc), Friday, 23 May 2003 14:17 (twenty-two years ago)

Stewart Osborne

Oh, the possibilities...

― jaymc (jaymc), Friday, 23 May 2003 14:18 (twenty-two years ago)

"got any salmon? sorted!"

― Dr. C (Dr. C), Friday, 23 May 2003 14:21 (twenty-two years ago)

Jeanne Fury's stint with The Hives was cut short due to "musical differences".

― Wired Flounder (Wired Flounder), Friday, 23 May 2003 14:32 (twenty-two years ago)

jaymc is now clearly in the JAMC. Pick a Reid Brother to be!

― kate, Friday, 23 May 2003 14:36 (twenty-two years ago)

Haha, I dunno: which one is the "genius"?

and that other Nick I'm forgetting

Poor Nick Southall. But he's in The Beautiful South, anyway.

― jaymc (jaymc), Friday, 23 May 2003 14:56 (twenty-two years ago)

Guns N' Jody Beth Rosen?

― jaymc (jaymc), Friday, 23 May 2003 15:00 (twenty-two years ago)

surely i am Malkmus?

― stevem (blueski), Friday, 23 May 2003 15:00 (twenty-two years ago)

it's clear, innit, that Nickalicious is some kind of unholy amalgam of Blackalicious and that weirdo singer from Green Theory....

― Neudonym, Friday, 23 May 2003 15:02 (twenty-two years ago)

Alright, I'll make an exception in your case and you can be Steve Malkmus if you like.

― kate, Friday, 23 May 2003 15:05 (twenty-two years ago)

Neudonym is clearly in Neu!

― kate, Friday, 23 May 2003 15:06 (twenty-two years ago)

― Chris V. (Chris V), Friday, 23 May 2003 15:14 (twenty-two years ago)

Chris B = Barrus White. Are you ready for some lurrrrrvvvve, lay-deez?

― kate, Friday, 23 May 2003 15:18 (twenty-two years ago)

Chris V is clearly Christine McV. Hey, we've got half of Fleetwood Mac now, if we can find a Lindsay and a Mick...

― kate, Friday, 23 May 2003 15:21 (twenty-two years ago)

Present.
Where's our John McVie doppleganger?

― Chris V. (Chris V), Friday, 23 May 2003 15:27 (twenty-two years ago)

John Darn-Vie-e11e is our man! Go forth and make Tusk!

― kate, Friday, 23 May 2003 15:28 (twenty-two years ago)

True confession time.

Back when I lurked here but rarely posted, I noticed Kate and others often referred to her being in a band. But the identity of the band was rarely mentioned, so for a long time my theories were (1) Kate was Kate St. John (wind player in Dream Academy), and (2) Kate was in The Masonics. Live and learn!

― Paul in Santa Cruz (Paul in Santa Cruz), Friday, 23 May 2003 15:39 (twenty-two years ago)

I don't wanna know who I am.

― slutsky (slutsky), Friday, 23 May 2003 16:29 (twenty-two years ago)

slutsky you are Avenue D

― stevem (blueski), Friday, 23 May 2003 16:33 (twenty-two years ago)

what band are you in kate i still don't know!

― Dave Stelfox (Dave Stelfox), Friday, 23 May 2003 16:39 (twenty-two years ago)

I suppose I am Kinski and Slutsky, you are me.

― Lynskey (Lynskey), Friday, 23 May 2003 16:40 (twenty-two years ago)

I'm a member of the Jody Grind!

― Jody Beth Rosen (Jody Beth Rosen), Friday, 23 May 2003 16:41 (twenty-two years ago)

― Jody Beth Rosen (Jody Beth Rosen), Friday, 23 May 2003 16:44 (twenty-two years ago)

The irony is, I probably weight about as much as two Strokes.

― Dom Passantino (Dom Passantino), Friday, 23 May 2003 17:07 (twenty-two years ago)

Well, it seems EVERYBODY wants to know what band is Kate part of... (at least I'm not the only curious cat 'round here... hehe)...

― JP Almeida (JP Almeida), Saturday, 24 May 2003 15:34 (twenty-two years ago)

JP Almeda - Spaceman.

― Cozen (Cozen), Saturday, 24 May 2003 15:35 (twenty-two years ago)

I know there's a better one than just sticking "Dogg" after my first name, right? (If not, oh well -- at least I was on a whompass Xzibit track)

― Nate Patrin (Nate Patrin), Saturday, 24 May 2003 15:48 (twenty-two years ago)

Yeah, get started

― Millar (Millar), Saturday, 24 May 2003 16:21 (twenty-two years ago)

I am a superhero named Tony, and this is called Tony's Theme.

― Anthony Miccio (Anthony Miccio), Saturday, 24 May 2003 16:40 (twenty-two years ago)

I just hope a member of Big Country posts here.

― David Allen, Saturday, 24 May 2003 16:47 (twenty-two years ago)

i'm not fat and i'm not from seattle. therefore i can't be that group.

― Tad (llamasfur), Saturday, 24 May 2003 17:09 (twenty-two years ago)

Aw, fuck.

― Ferg (Ferg), Saturday, 24 May 2003 17:33 (twenty-two years ago)

and no i have nothing to do with the bloke from starsailor (thank god!)

― Dave Stelfox (Dave Stelfox), Saturday, 24 May 2003 21:16 (twenty-two years ago)

JP Almeda - Spaceman

me begs to differ -- JP Almeda > Laurindo Almeida

― t\'\'t (t\'\'t), Sunday, 25 May 2003 23:07 (twenty-two years ago)

I just hope a member of Big Country posts here.

Well, I just verified through the Search option here that there is indeed a Mark and a Bruce who post here, as well as a Stuart (but that would either be a very sad or very disturbing option), and I know that there was a Tony in the group, so there you go. Your pick of the litter.

Oh, disturbing factoid: the late, lamented Mr. Adamson had a son -- named Callum. (This Callum was 20 in 2001, which still fits.) Eek.

― Dee the Lurker (Dee the Lurker), Monday, 26 May 2003 06:39 (twenty-two years ago)

Who the f*ck IS Laurindo Almeida?

― JP Almeida (JP Almeida), Monday, 26 May 2003 10:25 (twenty-two years ago)

― t\'\'t (t\'\'t), Monday, 26 May 2003 13:14 (twenty-two years ago)

and Callum ain't Cast, Callum is Courtn'y L0ve

― t\'\'t (t\'\'t), Monday, 26 May 2003 13:16 (twenty-two years ago)

OK, t\'\'t, I'm not a big fan of jazz, and I'm Portuguese, not Brazilian, but I'm honoured just the same... ;)

― JP Almeida (JP Almeida), Monday, 26 May 2003 13:35 (twenty-two years ago)
