dude, if somebody wants you to add them as a myspace friend, who cares? add away! half the time "adding" a person or a band is more an homage... like i don't know get hustle, but get hustle is a my space friend of my band... i just dig get hustle. plain and simple.
will we all be judged by our myspace pages when jesus comes to save us from raccoon aliens?m.

everything else after that is just ridiculousness -- teeter really shouldnt have acted like the spasmatron 3000 and gerard should have just deleted / ignored any of her responses.
regardless, he still comes off as a class act.
but what fascinates me even more: who knew that mark ibold of pavement used the internet? i mean, *everyone* uses the internet so i shouldnt be surprised, but i just am.

Maria - Thing is, if I'm following this correctly, Teeter did not identify herself as a former intern until after she had been rebuffed. That little detail makes her response to said rebuff a bit less reasonable in my mind.

GC did no wrong, introduction or not.
the larger issue at hand is that sites like myspace/friendster/etc don't allow you to specify what your relationship to a person is. its too black and white for a situation that is a huge gray area. you're either a friend, or you're not. id like to see these websites start incorporating tags, so that people know how you're related to each other [tags like "friend", "family", "former classmate", "accquaintance", etc] and spare people the drama of situations like GC's.

She certainly wants to SOUND like a 12 year old girl in her "fake" band though.

In her defense (and this is pointed out in the comments of GC's blog), it was during the UPS strike of Aug 1997.
I'm not sure if Vic Funk's link is the real Teeter, though
In my defense, there's probably not too many women born in 1976 named Teeter Sperber.
― Vic Funk, Thursday, 17 February 2005 22:35 (twenty years ago)
Thanks a million for all the posi feedback! Needless to say, none of us imagined the Gerard Myspace request would have spun out into a full-on blogosphere super war, or that people would fixate on my 'unique' stranglehold on the english language. That said, it's done and it was exhausting, although, for all parties, a chance to verbalize some incredibly funny sentiments. Snaps to Gerard for being so quick on the draw.
I'm actually 22 yrs old, that interview was intentionally misleading, I am indeed a good skateboarder and in the songs of my fake band and in speaking voice, I do sound like a chipmunk and have never been able to help it.
Sorry for all the ill-will shooting my way, but such is life, I can take it - seeing as I did inadvertantly bring it on.
Never be able to look at Rotisserie Chicken the same, f'reals - Teeter Sperber

VIC LEARN TO READ IT WAS ME WHO WROTE THAT. I was the retail intern in Aug. '97, and carried a big bag of promo mailings to Prince Street in the heat. Guess what? I lived.

Sorry d00d. I read the four different blogs that this spat was going on across at the same time, and the names in the comments sections became a blur (the "tard-bonics" didn't help matters with keeping shit str8).

In her defense, you weren't a 14 year old girl at the time.

Matthew Solarski reports:What is it with indie rock and baseball? White Sox and Cubs hats abound among Chicagoland gig-goers, Insound harbors a borderline neurotic obsession with "Steady" Eddie Murray, and right at this very moment the P-fork brass are agonizing over Fantasy League picks. I mean, bats and guitars are similarly phallic and all, but so are badminton racquets. So what is it? Maybe we all evolved from feverishly collecting Topps and Donruss to feverishly collecting Sub Pop and Matador?
In any case, our baseball lives and our indie rock lives are about to collide in a big way, as 2K Sports unleashes Major League Baseball 2K6 this April. In addition to your typical mind-incinerating graphics, the multi-platform video game features in-game music courtesy of upstanding indie faves like Interpol, Pavement, Guided by Voices, Mogwai, and Belle and Sebastian.
That's a hearty sampling of Matador Records fare, although a few non-Matty acts made the cut as well. Here's a complete list of the artists getting their MLB on: Bear Vs Shark, Belle and Sebastian, Cornelius, DJ Spooky, Early Man, Green Carnation, Guided By Voices, Interpol, Mogwai, Pavement, Preston School of Industry, Stephen Malkmus, Pretty Girls Make Graves, the Double, the Fall of Troy, and Yo La Tengo.
According to Matador, the label simply licensed the songs to 2K after securing artist permission, so don't expect any new tunes or elaborate soundtrack cross-promotions. Also don't expect the ridiculously apropos Belle and Sebastian song "Piazza, New York Catcher", as that little ditty appears 2003's Dear Catastrophe Waitress, put out by Rough Trade and not Matador. Bummer, dudes.
