I think auctioning yourself off on ebay might be a bit of a giveaway there.

hey, hes doing ok - 150 or so was the top bid last time i looked.

Yeah...that's probably true.

From the auction description:
HIGHEST BIDDER IS RESPONSIBLE FOR GETTING TO NYC (BUT IF THE BIDS GO HIGHER THAN $500, BUS TICKET IS ON US.) PRIOR ARRANGEMENTS WILL BE MADE WITH HIGH BIDDER TO INSURE A SAFE MEETING OF PARTYS AND EXCELLENT EXPERIENCE.

The auction doesn't say whether or not you get to ride around in the pink Cadillac. Without that, frankly, it's not worth my time or money.

does you have to pay extra for the lisp, too?

― hstencil (hstencil), Wednesday, 4 August 2004 15:06 (twenty-one years ago)

i would want the full x-clan garb.

― splooge (thesplooge), Wednesday, 4 August 2004 15:06 (twenty-one years ago)

this is sad

― amateur!st (amateurist), Wednesday, 4 August 2004 15:31 (twenty-one years ago)

vanglorious!

― Fritz Wollner (Fritz), Wednesday, 4 August 2004 15:32 (twenty-one years ago)

i just got an email that XClan were playing last night in SF with Chuck D and Andre the Giant (DITC)?

― JaXoN (JasonD), Wednesday, 4 August 2004 15:52 (twenty-one years ago)

Fritz Wollner OTM... SISSY!

Good Maaaaarcus Garvey! Has it really come to this?

― Jay Vee (Manon_70), Wednesday, 4 August 2004 18:25 (twenty-one years ago)

This is protected by the red, the black, and the green, with a key, sissssiiiiieeeeeeeees!"

Those Professor X/X-Clan LPs are amazing. They were remaindered in Fopp; I picked up one ("To the East . ?") because of the wild packaging, then went back for three more. Played the hell out of them, and could never understand why they weren't better known.

― Soukesian, Wednesday, 4 August 2004 20:36 (twenty-one years ago)

could never understand why they weren't better known

hmmmm. i wonder if it had anything to do with their rabid black nationalism...

― frankE (frankE), Wednesday, 4 August 2004 20:38 (twenty-one years ago)

Memory may be playing me false, but I can't remember anything blatantly offensive in the lyrics, just lots of strange afrocentric mysticism.

― Soukesian, Wednesday, 4 August 2004 20:45 (twenty-one years ago)

click here sissies!

although it doesn't have "in the ways of the scales"... :-(

― gygax! (gygax!), Wednesday, 4 August 2004 20:55 (twenty-one years ago)

Still love 'em.

five years pass...

Xodus is so fucking good. so was "why you doin that?" from the comeback album a few years back. I haven't done a top 10 favorite artists list since I was a kid but if I did X-clan would be on it because X-clan kicks ass OK.

how come you never yell 'sissies' in yr songs then?

― RT @ (Whiney G. Weingarten), Tuesday, 18 August 2009 13:03 (sixteen years ago)

they always fuck my shit up in the edit

― Man Is Nairf! (J0hn D.), Tuesday, 18 August 2009 13:04 (sixteen years ago)

'This next song is called "Hast Thou Considered the Tetrapod." It's protected by the red, the black and the green...'

― RT @ (Whiney G. Weingarten), Tuesday, 18 August 2009 13:09 (sixteen years ago)

― Man Is Nairf! (J0hn D.), Tuesday, 18 August 2009 13:14 (sixteen years ago)

yeah, I love it too, guy.

― RT @ (Whiney G. Weingarten), Tuesday, 18 August 2009 13:19 (sixteen years ago)

VOOOOOODOOOOO

.. and Lucky for Spurs.

― Mark G, Tuesday, 18 August 2009 13:40 (sixteen years ago)

John, who else would make up your ten if pressed? X-Clan, Darkthrone, Randy Newman...?

― DJ Angoreinhardt (Billy Dods), Tuesday, 18 August 2009 14:04 (sixteen years ago)

Does Brueckner count?

― nate dogg is a feeling (HI DERE), Tuesday, 18 August 2009 14:15 (sixteen years ago)

you guys realize that professor x died, right?

― amateurist, Tuesday, 18 August 2009 14:18 (sixteen years ago)

(I was going to make an in-poor-taste X-Men joke, but yes I knew he'd died)

― nate dogg is a feeling (HI DERE), Tuesday, 18 August 2009 14:22 (sixteen years ago)

Yeah this was one of three x-clan threads, all of which were consequent on professor x dying & this was the least bummer of the three, should have just made a new one, sorry.

They made a record this year, Mainstream Outlaw, which isn't as good as the previous comeback album, Return to Mecca but it's got a few great songs on it ("The Lord Spits" & "Through My Eyes").

On tour in Pittsburgh a couple of years ago I saw the store that Paradise the Architect runs - he has photographs & memorabilia from EARLY hip hop days, LL on stage at like 17 years old & the jacket LL was wearing back then hanging on the wall...mindblowing place. didn't look like it was doing brisk business so I'd be surprised if it was still around but for one late morning it was awesome to say "where'd you get all this stuff?" "oh I was in a crew back then called X Clan" "WHAAAAAT OH SHIT"

― Man Is Nairf! (J0hn D.), Tuesday, 18 August 2009 14:29 (sixteen years ago)

also Billy I try not to take threads in an "other shit I also like" direction because it annoys me when other ppl go "hey I know this thread is about Supertramp but you know who else was great is Link Wray" & shit

― Man Is Nairf! (J0hn D.), Tuesday, 18 August 2009 14:30 (sixteen years ago)

gonna start posting Supertramp videos now if that's cool with you

― nate dogg is a feeling (HI DERE), Tuesday, 18 August 2009 14:31 (sixteen years ago)

appreciate that, have been fiending for some Supertramp

― Man Is Nairf! (J0hn D.), Tuesday, 18 August 2009 14:31 (sixteen years ago)

too bad Gym Class Heroes got to this song before X-Clan could

― nate dogg is a feeling (HI DERE), Tuesday, 18 August 2009 14:33 (sixteen years ago)

Link Wray, Supertramp.....crosses off list.

― DJ Angoreinhardt (Billy Dods), Tuesday, 18 August 2009 14:33 (sixteen years ago)

Only teasing, of course.

― DJ Angoreinhardt (Billy Dods), Tuesday, 18 August 2009 14:34 (sixteen years ago)

would you like a cipher for breakfast, sissy dear sissy dear xpost

― Man Is Nairf! (J0hn D.), Tuesday, 18 August 2009 14:34 (sixteen years ago)

X post I mean

― Man Is Nairf! (J0hn D.), Tuesday, 18 August 2009 14:34 (sixteen years ago)

had the cassingle of this back when, the sync is bad here but the track is awesome

warning, contains b&w photos of lynchings

― Man Is Nairf! (J0hn D.), Tuesday, 18 August 2009 14:37 (sixteen years ago)

I think that one takes care of Supertramp's claim to superiority over X Clan, any other bands feel like fucking with X Clan let me know & I will produce more convincing Youtube links

― Man Is Nairf! (J0hn D.), Tuesday, 18 August 2009 14:39 (sixteen years ago)

two years pass...

Dark Sun Riders album Seeds of Evolution is a sci-fi concept album that just fucking rules with a mid-tempo smooth groove all through
