STIPE TO PIE!

― Tom, Thursday, 17 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Mr Pie, meet Mr Yorke, you're going to be getting a lot closer over the next few seconds.

Hey, Eddie Vedder, you've got to hide yer face away (with a lemon meringue pie!)

― Tadeusz Suchodolski, Thursday, 17 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

lemon meringue pie far too good to waste on him

― michael, Thursday, 17 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

mud pie?

― jess, Thursday, 17 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

(there's a place called Clackamas?!?)

Simon Rattle, your pudding is served

― Jeff W, Thursday, 17 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Marilyn Manson...preferably a pie on the end of a baseball bat.

― Jez, Thursday, 17 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Been reading Lester Bangs recently, have we?

― Marcello Carlin, Thursday, 17 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

That lead singer from the horrid uptempo emo stomp rock band - Jimmy Eat World - that would wipe that smug smile from this face.

If I had another 3 pies.. Andrew WanKer, Kid Rock and Fred Durst - would all be deserving targets.

― DJ Martian, Thursday, 17 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Hats off (red ones, obviously), to the kid who creamed Durst.

This will surprise no one: Damon Albarn. Hopefully I would hit him in the hairplugs.

― Nicole, Thursday, 17 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

God, no! I wasn't even thinking Lester Bangs! Honest!

Wynton Marsalis. If it has to be in the rock world, Steve Albini.

― Michael Daddino, Thursday, 17 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Tim Booth

Eat THIS, Billy Joel!

― Colin Meeder, Thursday, 17 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Lead singer with JJ72. No question.

What a complete stroker.

― dave C, Thursday, 17 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

The apprentice Theakston who presents Planet Pop on Ch4.

I went shopping in Clackamas once.

― Edna Welthorpe, Mrs, Thursday, 17 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I was going to say that fuckwit lead singer w/Travis but then I remembered the vid for 'Sing'.

So Kelly Jones it is.

― Andrew L, Thursday, 17 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Everyone seems to have forgotten Bono.

― N., Thursday, 17 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

― keith, Thursday, 17 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Certainly Mr. Summoner is due for a banana cream facial. Y'know, just like that book by Nabokov.

― David Raposa, Thursday, 17 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Any fucking misogynist homophobe MC out there would get the pie.

― Gage-o, Thursday, 17 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

i'd throw a pie at the skeleton of the guy from sublime who died of smack.

thanks for cursing us from beyond the grave with apparently only one inexplicably succesful album of inane, lowest-common-denominator snowboarding ska ditties that JUST WON'T DISAPPEAR!!!!!!!!

― fields of salmon, Thursday, 17 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

With Bono taken, I'll choose Lenny Kravtiz.

― scott p., Thursday, 17 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Natalie Imbruglia.

― Ally, Thursday, 17 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

If the pies could be made to fly very, very slowly, I would send one a day in the direction of Robert Wyatt and Holger Hiller, in order to feed them and compensate for their poor record sales. It would be a sort of pie subsidy or sti-pie-end.

― Momus, Thursday, 17 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Holger Hiller still going? What's he up to these days?

― Marcello Carlin, Thursday, 17 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

http://www.mute.com/mute/holger/fence.jpg According to the Mute site, Holger has been 'presenting an electronic music workshop at Vienna Art School, an art exhibition at the Pudel Club in Hamburg, producing an album for Cuban female vocal group Azucar Letal, developing and launching a compilation of a new Latin crossover style called Electrolatino and the recording of his first new album for five years for Mute Records.'

This eponymous release, which came out on Mute in late 2000, is, for me, his least compelling release. But I've been delving back through his solo albums from 'A Bunch Of Foulness In The Pit' to 'As Is' and find them totally fascinating. I also totally love the mid-90s sound documentary about Japan, 'Little Present', not to mention the wonderful toytown utopia of 'Wir Bauen Ein Stadt', his Lego-synth reading of Hindemith's children's operetta. Hiller is my beacon artist right now. A completely underestimated pioneer of sampling and the application of musique concrete to pop.

― Momus, Thursday, 17 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I would like to hit Whitney Houston with a pie, but she would probably try to snort it.

― Dan Perry, Thursday, 17 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Ja Rule

― stevo, Thursday, 17 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Ryan Adams's rotting corpse. Oh, I guess that would mean he'd have to be dead first. Well, I can dream, can't I?

― Dave225, Thursday, 17 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I would like to thank the Limp Bisquick but he probably did it just to get in the news which is why Id like to pie that bastard myself.

You may have heard of Canada's PM taking a pie in the face, that was done by a kid not for what ever he screamed at the cameras, but just to get his name in the papers, his high school goal according to his friends. He was not poliutical interested at all and is pretty potatoe dumb from what my spuds in the mud say.

― Mr Noodles, Thursday, 17 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

It already looks like Michael Jackson's been hit in the face with a pie filled with battery acid and bleach, so instead I'd opt to fling a confectionary missile into the the face of....

.....that insufferably earnest jackass of Creed, Scott Stapp, who makes Bono and Eddie Vedder sound like Derek & Clive by comparison.

― Alex in NYC, Thursday, 17 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Do you mean the horror that is Vernon Kay, Edna?

― RickyT, Thursday, 17 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

A very, very large petrol pie to cover all three members of Blink 182 as they light their farts.

― Chris Lyons, Thursday, 17 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

beyonce on collision course for planet pie

― Alan Trewartha, Thursday, 17 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Now this is a thread. And yes, Holger Hiller's As Is = well groovy.

Hm, my choice, my choice. Probably Zac de la Rocha, if only because he would take the opportunity to complain about how the whiteness of the pie proves that food is racist.

― Ned Raggett, Thursday, 17 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

i kevin costner beyonce houston's pie and deflect it towards: don letts

― mark s, Thursday, 17 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

A.R.E. Weapons. Just what the world needs, a Suicide wannabe pigfucker revival act. And as for the ladies: Tori Amos, Aimee Mann, Alanis Morrisette.

― Arthur, Thursday, 17 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

You mischaracterize Zac, Ned: he would be more interested in profit distribution and laboring conditions at the bakery.

― Nitsuh, Thursday, 17 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Robbie Williams
Sting
Seal
Afroman

― jel, Thursday, 17 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

he would be more interested in profit distribution and laboring conditions at the bakery

And then deliver one of the world's worst raps about it.

― Ned Raggett, Thursday, 17 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Marilyn Manson...preferably a pie on the end of a baseball bat.
Naw....Chainsaw.

― Lord Custos, Thursday, 17 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Problem: It won't help.
Bill Gates got hit with a pie, and he didn't learn anything from it. So why do we think mr Limp Bisquick or Moronlyn Manstink (who, by the way is Made from Bisquick.) will learn anything from being hit with a pie.
So the baseball bat idea drives the idea home, and the chainsaw acts as a permanent reminder.

― Lord Custos, Thursday, 17 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

phil collins.

― cecilia, Thursday, 17 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I was part of a group of people concocting a plan to pie Wynton Marsalis when he received an honory degree at my college graduation. Unfortunately, we didn't follow through with it. What a missed opportunity.

― hstencil, Thursday, 17 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

the damned

― fritz, Thursday, 17 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Mark S - back and to the left?

― David Raposa, Thursday, 17 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

can i give the pie to ornette coleman so he can push it into the reactionary smug face of wynton marsalias , christ i cannot stand that man . As well Johnny Cash can pie garth brooks and loretta lynn can pie the dixie chicks.

― anthony, Thursday, 17 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Funny you mention Ornette, 'cause when my college decided to give the degree to Wynton, a few of us made a small-level stink about it. At a tea with the college president, I mentioned my disdain for Wynton and his reception of the degree, and the prez asked who I thought would be a more worthy candidate. I told him Ornette. Lo and behold, the next year they gave Ornette a degree, too.

If only I was still around to suggest degrees for Milford Graves, Alan Silva and Sunny Murray. On second thought, college sucked, so forget that idea.

― hstencil, Thursday, 17 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

And while you're pie-ing Wynton Marsalis, see if you can get a little on Ken Burns.

― Dave225, Thursday, 17 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

We could've hit two twerps with one pie: Wynton and Ken Burns both received honorary degrees at my graduation.

― hstencil, Thursday, 17 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I hope Dave Brubeck and Stan Getz were invited.

― Dave225, Thursday, 17 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

.. Make that Kenny G and Michael Bolton.

― Dave225, Thursday, 17 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Fred and pie

― Ned Raggett, Thursday, 17 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

puff daddy meet puff pastry.

also WILL SMITH. grrrr

― di, Thursday, 17 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

julian casablancas during the part of "hard to explain" where nobody's playing.

― brains, Thursday, 17 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Wow, Ned, he looks terrible in that side shot ... like someone's fat boozy illiterate uncle passed out on a buffet table and is just woke up with meringue on his head.

― Nitsuh, Thursday, 17 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Roy Montgomery. In the middle of one of his deeply affectingly beautiful...ummm...guitar chords.

― duane, Thursday, 17 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Damien Allbran from Blur. and that guitarist fellow too, the one who can't sing and makes shit solo records. Gree-ham or something.

― electric sound of jim, Thursday, 17 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

billy corgan

― tyler, Friday, 18 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I would hit Enrique Iglesias, and then his girl could hold him in tears as the pie slithers off of his bruised face... cop sirens in the background.. etc. etc.

― Honda, Friday, 18 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Wow, Ned, he looks terrible in that side shot ... like someone's fat boozy illiterate uncle passed out on a buffet table and is just woke up with meringue on his head.

I'm not certain about the "uncle" part of Nitsuh's description (and really, I don't want to speculate about the Durst clan reproducing, it makes me queasy), but doesn't that pretty much sum up Fred (pie notwithstanding)?

― Nicole, Friday, 18 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Since it's my brithday, I would like to send a virtual pie-in-the-eye to the boyband sleazepit that is O-Town. Lucky non-blending fuckfaces.

― Dan Perry, Friday, 18 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Will Oldham when he reveals his next Bonnie Yawn Billy incarnation.

― Curt, Friday, 18 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Jim O'Rourke during one of his trademark ponderous pauses, or during one that he insists upon insinuating into every goddamn record he produces.

― Curt, Friday, 18 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

All the chaps from Spearmint. All of them from Camera Obscura even 'Gav' who is 'nice'. I would do that VICIOUSLY. Amusingly, I would like to throw one at Leonard Nimoy for his BILBO BAGGINS single and also at THE FIRM wot did STAR TREKKIN, ACROSS THE UNIVERSE! That would all be in good humour though. Whereas I HOPE SPEARMINT WOULD CHOKE. The git from Baxendale, the chick in the cowboy hat who mings for the poop band I barely saw on Wed night, and also the STROKE BLOKE. I got so bored watching them I took notes in SPANISH to save myself the mediocrity of writing in the same language this band were BASTARDISING blurrgh.

― Sarah, Friday, 18 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

eat pies dont chuck em.

― XStatic Peace, Friday, 18 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Dude, you're not even funny. At least write something funny.

― Dave225, Friday, 18 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Stencil- Did you go to Connecticut College? I just graduated from there in May. I remember liking Marsalis' commencement speech, too...

― Prude, Friday, 18 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Any rap or hip hop "artist".

― connie lazlo, Saturday, 19 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Who ho ho!

― N!tsuh, Saturday, 19 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

oh no. not hip hop. hit me instead, i beg you.

― Honda, Saturday, 19 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I would most like to hit Courtney Love with a pie, if Fred Durst hasn't eaten them all.

― felicity, Saturday, 19 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Perhaps you could throw Courtney at Fred, who is sitting in a big pie.

― Ned Raggett, Saturday, 19 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Pie, meet J Lo and every other pop star who danced around in that "What's going on" video draped in "Drop the Debt" banners and such.

― daria gray, Sunday, 20 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

The singer in the song with the intro that goes LET THE BODIES HIT THE FLO', LET THE BODIES HIT THE FLO. In fact I'd like the pie to somehow contain a hidden compartment which houses a medium-sized hyena which pops out on impact and either unsettles his capillaries slightly, or tears his stupid fucking forehead off. It's all good to me.

― Ramosi, Sunday, 20 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

The infinitely smug Ella Hooper from Killing Heidi, as well as her hot-pink dreadlocked brother Jessie, an action hopefully preventing any more horrific grunge lite coca-cola-ad foreshadowing (courtney cox supported) rekurds. Rack off back to Leeton!

― charles m, Sunday, 20 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

two years pass...

there are some right planks in 2004 that deserve it:

a: mr trad cliche mod of a lead singer of The Ordinary Boys

b: the posing plank of a lead singer of Razorshite

c: drippy lead singer of The Thrills

― DJ Martian (djmartian), Wednesday, 29 September 2004 21:05 (twenty-one years ago)

Craig Nicholls from the Vines. Except it would cause him to have a nervous breakdown and then write and record a really fifth-rate shitty record about it.

― Neil FC (Neil FC), Wednesday, 29 September 2004 21:21 (twenty-one years ago)

Paul McCartney . . . ah LOOKOUT!!!
