I've had a lot of fun here, but not for a long time now. See ya. Thanks to most here, you've changed the way I think about music esp. Mark S., Tom, Arthur, Dave Q, Ally, Tracer, Nitsuh & Ronan.

NOOOOOOO!! Not you, too, Fritz! Ah well, I'll miss you. Keep in touch and if you set up shop in some other forum, be sure to let me know.

― Arthur, Thursday, 4 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Hey Fritz, I'm not surprised you're fed up; I've been feeling that way for the last couple days myself. Not only are certain people being complete jerks here, but they're getting harder and harder to avoid. I've always liked reading your posts; really. Rock on, and come back, ok?

― Sean, Thursday, 4 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I want to apologize but I never insulted you by the way. I was talking to marian in that thread. As you know, ILM threads develop in all sorts of directions (with different groups of ppl ans each other's points). Before you go I suggest you listen to Steve lamcq's evening session. if you are not from Britain then count yourself lucky.

I take offense to the fact you did not include me in your list, so GOOD RIDDANCE I say. heh. Take care Fritz.

fritz and sean i am not very good at ewing-style diplomacy and tact, so all i can say is this: i think julio is nowhere near as seriously hostile or indifferent as he sometimes rather carelessly seems... i think when ilm is a bit underpopulated (as it seems to be at the moment), his kind of fun can get more destructive than he intends it to be, and also less distinct from some of the people he has recently enjoyed baiting than he realises...

anyway if you are going for real fritz i will miss you and if you are just having a break, have a nice one

No Fritz don't do it!

― Ronan, Thursday, 4 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

the prev post should say: not marian but MARTIAN.

''his kind of fun can get more destructive than he intends it to be, and also less distinct from some of the people he has recently enjoyed baiting than he realises...''

well, I didn't realize that it was destructive but i can see the point being made here.

I think after trading silly rub. with Calum and then we had the thread with marcello (which i wasn't abusive or anything) I think it prob. stopped looking at what i was writing. I suppose i don't have as much time to be constructive maybe. I am in the middle of doing experiments while I post actually (so I go to the lab, change the conditions of the experiment i'm doing, go back to ILM, etc) so i'm just writing any shit that comes into my head.

sorry abt it.

― Julio Desouza, Thursday, 4 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

though i still am truthful with all of it (apart from the insults because i don't know anybody in the real sense ofthe word). OK so i wouldn't pull the trigger and kill white stripes but i don't like 'em that i am sure of. And i can't stand the evening session.

― Julio Desouza, Thursday, 4 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I always enjoyed yr posts Fritz - if you go who'll enthuse about 1964 garage punk now (apart from me). Take care.

― Dr. C, Thursday, 4 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Personally speaking, I would much prefer it if you stuck around, fritz.

― Norman Phay, Thursday, 4 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

these announcements of leaving are extremely egotistical. "You'll be so sorry when i'm gone! I'll show you guys!!" that said, fritz has always struck me as a very nice fellow to have around. so, bye

― Ron, Thursday, 4 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

i never understood why people announced they're departure either. but yah stay. julio is all good too. whatever.

― chaki, Thursday, 4 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

cooled off and came back to say goodbye properly. sorry julio for using you as a scapegoat for my own stresses - just peeved by the calum-style trash talk but i really ultimately couldn't give a fuck to be honest... things should be lively here so sorry i flipped on you. it's like 8 zillion degrees F here and humid like a motherfucker. and a garbage strike in effect too, eh, julio? not thinking my clearest so please forgive the histrionics at the top of this thread and the bottom of the white stripes one.

I'm traveling soon and I'm also looking for some new work gigs, so that's what I should be concentrating on. I'll stop in and say hi when I get home from Japan in August. have a great summer everybody.

hooray for nathalie and all of you (& that gareth has been writing some insanely astute shit too). i love music & i heart i love music.

― fritz, Thursday, 4 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I can verify that Julio is nowhere near as beligerent as he seems to be online sometimes. Definitely a lot of people need some cooling down right about now (even some of the perceived victims). I think that there's still the opportunity for a lot of great and intelligent discussion and the baiting ain't helping things. I've been less enthused about posting here lately, but I'll just lay low for a bit, probably. fritz, do make sure you come back and visit, post, etc.!

― Sean Carruthers, Thursday, 4 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Now is as good a time to take a break as any, Fritz - there's very very few discussions going on, lots of threads with seven or eight listless answers and not much else - but feel free to wander back anytime, and thanks for your contributions.

― Tom, Friday, 5 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Goddamnit Fritz, I've got loads of questions lined up about April Wine, Trooper, Loverboy and Gino Vanelli, now nobody's going to answer them!!!

― dave q, Friday, 5 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Garbage strike! (You live in toronto, which is where i am. Er...we could've met up). Yeah, it's getting pretty bad in certain areas. And here i was thinking that toronto is much cleaner than london and then this is thrown up. Have a good summer.

― Julio Desouza, Friday, 5 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Don't worry, dave, I'm sure I can be arsed to answer your questions about crappy Can-con, too. I still think that someone should put together a tribute album of today's fab hitmakers covering Cancon classix (despite a few such tracks on the Fubar soundtrack).
