How rock is Ned Raggett in person?

I'm a big fan of Raggetts's All Music reviews, as well as her online presence on the threads here.

I must know if the fierceness of her virtual world prose is an indicator of her real world persona, or if her online alter-ego belies a very different person!

She's sexy -- she looks kind of like Katie Holmes with bigger boobs!

he is very rock. in a kind of pink candycane type of way. hard at first he soon reveals a pure white interior and a lovely little message.

Her hair is so soft, like a pillow made of babies!

Utterly flabberghastingly astonishingly nice bod.

Ned may not be the funniest or most charismatic of posters, but he's without a doubt the most omnipresent, and it's her ilx loyalty and taste in music that wins my heart.

But is she a blonde or brunette? Or a redhead who likes the band X?

― bimble (bimble), Friday, 30 April 2004 01:39 (twenty-one years ago)

OMG! I see it now! It's not a red X anymore...wow, that is hot! (waves fingers, as if to cool them off)

― bimble (bimble), Friday, 30 April 2004 02:17 (twenty-one years ago)

She also likes Sun City Girls! (SWOON)

Not very rock at all.

For a start, he'd need to get up from in front of his PC to meet you, and as he spends 12 hours a day on ILX that is not likely. Secondly, he actually takes ridiculous posts to threads seriously on ILX and thinks that the people who makes them are actually capable of upsetting those fellow postees that he considers "friends" (n.b. friends to me are people I go and hang out with and drink with and use as a shoulder to cry on during bad times). And if you invite him out for a pint then don't expect him to reply, he'd much rather be a little girl and sit behind his monitor posting shit about you where he is all safe and so on instead of actually meeting you face to face to voice any problems he might have (which wouldn't actually be problems at all, unless everyone on ILX actually takes threads designed to be as stupid as all fuck as a serious indication of someone's personality).

Supposing "R" is meant for "rock", wot, prey, do "C" and "W" stand for?

Dear Mr. "I'm too good to call or write my fans"
This'll be the last package I ever send your ass.
It's been six months and still no word. I don't
deserve it?
I know you got my last two letters, I wrote the
addresses on 'em perfect.
So this is my cassette I'm sending you. I hope you
hear it.
I'm in the car right now. I'm doing 90 on the freeway.
Hey Ned, "I drank a fifth of vodka, ya dare me to
drive?"
You know that song by Phil Collins from "The Air In
The Night"?
About that guy who could have saved that other guy
from drowning?
But didn't? Then Phil saw it all then at his show he
found him?
That's kinda how this is. You could have rescued me
from drowning.
Now it's too late. I'm on a thousand downers now, I'm
drowsy.

And all I wanted was a lousy letter or a call.
I hope you know I ripped all o' your pictures off the
wall.
I love you Ned, we could have been together. Think
about it.
You ruined it now, I hope you can't sleep and you
dream about it.
And when you dream, I hope you can't sleep and you
scream about it.
I hope your conscious eats at you and you can't
breathe without me.

Look, I'm ending this. I'm not responding to Ned's crap anymore, but I would ask he stop dogging my threads. I've no interest on posting on his threads and wish him good luck. I would wager the debate on his many, many threads are wicked and I hope he's really getting it on throughout ILX.

― CRW (CRW), Friday, 30 April 2004 17:03 (twenty-one years ago)

Cal, shut the fuck up.

"I'm not responding to Ned's crap anymore"

good call. the only way to get rid of the troll ned is to ignore him.

We've all got to stick together if we're going to have any hope of bringing that awful Ned to justice

CRW, is it possible you are overestimating the importance of a Mr. Ned Raggett?

I mean no offense and obviously I have no idea what has transpired between the two of you, but...he's only one guy, you know? I too marvel at how he manages to post to just about every single thread I've read so far. But does this make him a more important person than the rest of us? Is he really worth all this anguish and aggravation on your part?

My hunch is you just have a distorted view of him.

― bimble (bimble), Saturday, 1 May 2004 07:19 (twenty-one years ago)

i can vouch for ned raggett's in-person rockness!

Exclusive: Ned Raggett remixes the Go! Team

It's a match made in sunshine heaven: Ned Raggett, the mysterious square-jawed giant behind Reads Pi and Reads the Almanac, has ventured out of hibernation to create a mega-remix of the Go! Team songs "Ladyflash" and "Huddle Formation," to be included on the forthcoming "Ladyflash" single. . . . According to Memphis Industries, the genesis of the Raggett collaboration began when label representatives approached him following a Go! Team show. Raggett told them that the performance was the greatest concert he had ever seen in his life (apart from Depeche Mode at the Hollywood Bowl in 1989, that MBV / Ride / Dinosaur Jr / JAMC tour, this one Blur show, and the United State of Electronica back in spring) and expressed his desire to work with the band. The resulting mix is, according to Memphis' Ollie Jacob, "really really happy". He added, "Ned out-Go! Teamed the Go! Team."

What, where?

(I'll be recording with the Gang Wizard again this Sunday if all works out. And there *may* be LA shows in a couple of weeks.)

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Wednesday, 23 November 2005 23:14 (nineteen years ago)

Look at the picture!

― nabisco (nabisco), Wednesday, 23 November 2005 23:15 (nineteen years ago)

Dude, I made comments about how Kevin looks like me a few years ago. On this very board! (It was the promo stuff for Lost in Translation he did which made it clear.) (Also the picture isn't loading for me so ha on you.)

(I really should schedule a date with Kevin Shields, the band. It's the only logical thing left to do.)

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Wednesday, 23 November 2005 23:16 (nineteen years ago)

i want to do a "reads" album with ned.

His pool game needs a little more work to become rock, but that was some time ago.

You have to get up pretty fuckin early to out-rock Ned Raggett.
