You're not fastidious about shaving (applies to either sex); many of your records and CDs are rather scratched; you used to smoke a lot more pot thatn you do now.

your life is almost entirely devoid of satisfaction or joy

I resent this. No jewboy or jewgirl I know likes At The Drive In,

Oh wait, does Jordan Cohen like At The Drive In? Sorry, Jordan.

― @d@ml (nordicskilla), Friday, 6 February 2004 00:27 (twenty-two years ago)

I'm wasted and a bad person but even I think this is a bit mean spirited.

You have glasses and sideburns.

― ferg (Ferg), Friday, 6 February 2004 00:27 (twenty-two years ago)

hey i resemble that remark! the list of bands reads like a bad personal ad

― the surface noise (electricsound), Friday, 6 February 2004 00:28 (twenty-two years ago)

Actually, scoffer - are you gaz/mullygrubber? If not, you guys should go out for a drink...

I knew it! I'm good at this.

― @d@ml (nordicskilla), Friday, 6 February 2004 00:33 (twenty-two years ago)

well, I suppose having the word 'cunt' in your e-mail is a bad sign, but we've all toyed with that idea from time to time

― ferg (Ferg), Friday, 6 February 2004 00:34 (twenty-two years ago)

can i have next?

― ?, Friday, 6 February 2004 00:40 (twenty-two years ago)

hmm 'I sense deep parental anxieties, frustrated sexual urges, and a fetishised love of cardigans...' quick jimmy, run away, it's the attack of the 30 something Indie! avert your eyes he may reconstitute into other genres.

at the age of 40 you will have a revelation while on e and renounce your past.

― mullygrubber (gaz), Friday, 6 February 2004 02:03 (twenty-two years ago)

To predict your future, I'd need to use Hello Kitty tarot cards.

You wear black band-logo teeshirts and like computers, or wear round glasses and are (or aspire to be) a journalist

― Jez (Jez), Friday, 6 February 2004 13:05 (twenty-two years ago)

In a lot of cases, you cannot generalize someone's personality from the music he likes. Case in point: Those people I know who are black metal fans usually don't go around burning churches and sacrificing women to Satan...

― Geir Hongro (GeirHong), Friday, 6 February 2004 13:29 (twenty-two years ago)

subscribed to Indie Rawk Roolz mailing list, you still go to concerts wearing a ramones t (as if you need to show you're old, dood) and ... well you look like yer typical post-(but in denial about it)university graduate.

Anonymous: you wrote for my old student paper and are really looking forward to 2001

Scoffer: you try way too fucking hard

Geir: they just don't invite you

― DJ Mencap (DJ Mencap), Friday, 6 February 2004 13:39 (twenty-two years ago)

Me now! Do me! What do I look like and do?

Here are the albums I have brought with me today:
Wackies Dub: African Roots Acts 2 & 3
Trojan Records: Arise Rootsman
A CD-R of Michael Manning demoes
Count Ossie: The Mystic Revelation Of Rastafari
Iron Monkey: Our Problem
Richie Hawtin: Decks, EFX & 909
Autechre: Chiastic Slide
Plaid: Spokes
A Black Metal mix cd from a friend

You'll probably be able to tell who I am from my list, but just pretend you don't as it's not important who I am - I don't think any of you have met me personally.

― Jonno, Friday, 6 February 2004 13:55 (twenty-two years ago)

you have very big bags under your eyes

― the surface noise (electricsound), Friday, 6 February 2004 13:56 (twenty-two years ago)

Typical ILM poster, I'd say. In fact... that list pretty much defines this board. Maybe it would need a bit more hip-hop though.

You went to college. And nearly had your first sexual experience there, but she had a Live poster over the bed.

You got out of the goth game at an early stage after an unpleasant experience between a giant pair of breasts.

― DJ Mencap (DJ Mencap), Friday, 6 February 2004 15:45 (twenty-two years ago)

A giant pair of breasts? Where did that come from?

― Stupid (Stupid), Friday, 6 February 2004 15:47 (twenty-two years ago)

The sort of giant, misshapen breasts that are squashed perilously into some undersized velvet creation. I notice you didn't question the rest of it...

― DJ Mencap (DJ Mencap), Friday, 6 February 2004 15:48 (twenty-two years ago)

Well, at 16 I'm a little young to have got out of the goth game at an early age. But you know, maybe I'll get into it and then get out of it while I'm still young! It's an aim. Wow, you're a great fortune teller.

― Stupid (Stupid), Friday, 6 February 2004 15:50 (twenty-two years ago)

Blimey! No, I think you've bypassed the goth game in that case, keep on keepin' on

― DJ Mencap (DJ Mencap), Friday, 6 February 2004 15:53 (twenty-two years ago)

I'm always skirting around goth. Every once in a while I think I am a goth, and then I hear some ridiculous band with cowboy hats and cheesy electric organs and I remember how completely not a goth I am.

Although I DO have that gothic looking Loveless-era MBV shirt, so people who don't know who MBV are probably think I'm a goffeeeek...
