ROFFLE!!

Is Oh-OK a reward or a punishment?

― Ellsworth M. Toohey (Grodd), Monday, 27 June 2005 22:23 (twenty years ago)

ELLSWORTH, ARE YOU A BARBARA MANNING FAN? I WOULD LIKE TO HEAR A BARBARA MANNING SONG AS GOOD AS "CHOUKOUTIEN."

― Tim Ellison (Tim Ellison), Monday, 27 June 2005 22:29 (twenty years ago)

I DONT KNOW WHAT OH-OK IS...BUT THAT LOOKS AWESOME!!!

― ddb (ddb), Monday, 27 June 2005 22:46 (twenty years ago)

SORRY TO COME OFF ALL AGGRO ELLSWORTH! : (

― Tim Ellison (Tim Ellison), Monday, 27 June 2005 23:14 (twenty years ago)

JACK COLE SO MUCH TO ANSWER FOR.

― ddb (ddb), Monday, 27 June 2005 23:20 (twenty years ago)

why don't they ever print the winners' names and which writer they have selected to make the mix?

― jaymc (jaymc), Monday, 27 June 2005 23:53 (twenty years ago)

(no one has ever asked me to make a mix! stormy to thread.)

― jaymc (jaymc), Tuesday, 28 June 2005 00:11 (twenty years ago)

OH OK is Michael Stipe's sister.

― Dan Selzer (Dan Selzer), Tuesday, 28 June 2005 01:30 (twenty years ago)

jaymc, I'm a close personal friend of MICHAEL F GILL. I will threaten him and see what happens.

― I'm bad and dirty and going to hell (nordicskilla), Tuesday, 28 June 2005 01:49 (twenty years ago)

still, TIM's mix overall looks ace.

HA! oh-OK will never write a song as good as anything Barbara Manning has ever done. Go tell that to oh-OK's biggest fan, Ira Glass.

love,
ellsworth m. toohey

― Ellsworth M. Toohey (Grodd), Tuesday, 28 June 2005 02:28 (twenty years ago)

i mean, "Scissors" alone buries oh-OK.

― Ellsworth M. Toohey (Grodd), Tuesday, 28 June 2005 02:28 (twenty years ago)

or basically everything on World Of Pooh's Land Of Thirst and Manning's first solo album.

― Ellsworth M. Toohey (Grodd), Tuesday, 28 June 2005 02:29 (twenty years ago)

oh, OK, killer.

― Ellsworth M. Toohey (Grodd), Tuesday, 28 June 2005 02:30 (twenty years ago)

ha, foolish, me i was confusing them with that chicago band. stipe's sister is definitely a step above what i was thinking of -- though still forty steps below manning.

― Ellsworth M. Toohey (Grodd), Tuesday, 28 June 2005 02:32 (twenty years ago)

uh yeah so I'm "to thread" because I want to bro down with some cool dudes, not listen to your INDIE-POP DUDE NONSENSE, dweebasaurus. (seriously this thread had me totally actually IRL LOL until the inevitable jm not-so-cunning comedown)

anyway, Tim what is this ?? I tried to look on the website but I got some hip-hop album covers? was that yours? Where is the original article?

― Stormy Davis (diamond), Tuesday, 28 June 2005 03:04 (twenty years ago)

NO ARTICLE STORMZ...STYLUS HAD SOME ALBUM COVERS SANS TITLES...I GUESSED EM RIGHT AND GOT TO PICK A MIX BY A STYLUS BRO...I PICKED TIM.

BECAUSE IM A FAN OF THE MAN.

NO. BIG. DEAL.

― ddb (ddb), Tuesday, 28 June 2005 03:29 (twenty years ago)

I'm a fan too! I want to enter and get the mix. Guess I can do the hip-hop one, I already know like 8 of them....

..but I also wanted to see the old one. I want to match wits with the DEEBZ

― Stormy Davis (diamond), Tuesday, 28 June 2005 03:38 (twenty years ago)

HA. OK!....HERE YA GO...IT WAS PRETTY EASY...CUTTY ARGUED #1 WITH ME.....TURNS OUT I WAS RIGHT. BOO YA

― ddb (ddb), Tuesday, 28 June 2005 11:50 (twenty years ago)

uh i was being preemptive?

― jaymc (jaymc), Tuesday, 28 June 2005 15:54 (twenty years ago)

i.e. "no one has ever asked me to make a mix" --> "that's because you have a beard and shitty taste" --> "why thank you, mr. stormy, the pleasure is all mine!"

― jaymc (jaymc), Tuesday, 28 June 2005 15:56 (twenty years ago)

heh, the contest that ddb won is the only one of those where i've actually known more than two covers.

― jaymc (jaymc), Tuesday, 28 June 2005 15:58 (twenty years ago)

WHEN THRILL JOCKEY REIGNED SUPREME.

The Dark Age Examined

― Ellsworth M. Toohey (Grodd), Tuesday, 28 June 2005 16:12 (twenty years ago)

Tim writes for Stylus?

― Edgware General (nordicskilla), Tuesday, 28 June 2005 16:26 (twenty years ago)

Why, yes he does. Don't they get the internet in Scotland?

― Ellsworth M. Toohey (Grodd), Tuesday, 28 June 2005 16:28 (twenty years ago)

I don't know. I'm in San Francisco.

― Edgware General (nordicskilla), Tuesday, 28 June 2005 16:30 (twenty years ago)

SF isn't in the east bay, last time i checked my map of northern california.

― Ellsworth M. Toohey (Grodd), Tuesday, 28 June 2005 16:32 (twenty years ago)

Right. And yet here I still am, sitting in front of a computer, in San Francisco.

― Edgware General (nordicskilla), Tuesday, 28 June 2005 16:34 (twenty years ago)

Here is the view from my window:

You are a man of miracles or rowing a galley ship to the skitterish beat of grime.

― Ellsworth M. Toohey (Grodd), Tuesday, 28 June 2005 16:35 (twenty years ago)

thanks!

― Edgware General (nordicskilla), Tuesday, 28 June 2005 16:36 (twenty years ago)

I am actually a little burned out on grime recently. Alex In SF called me a "Grime Hater".

I mostly listen to Patsy Cline and Ricardo Villalobos.

― Edgware General (nordicskilla), Tuesday, 28 June 2005 16:37 (twenty years ago)

i hope you have curtains for your window. clothes aren't just to protect the body from the elements but to also make sure the innocent don't have to look at those bodies.

You should give the Fern Jones reissue a spin on Numero, contrary to what the eye-patched Japonphile, aesthete thinks.

― Ellsworth M. Toohey (Grodd), Tuesday, 28 June 2005 16:39 (twenty years ago)

Where do you live, Ellsworth?

― Edgware General (nordicskilla), Tuesday, 28 June 2005 16:43 (twenty years ago)

I have curtains! And clothes!

― Edgware General (nordicskilla), Tuesday, 28 June 2005 16:44 (twenty years ago)

Inside Jack Cole.

― Ellsworth M. Toohey (Grodd), Tuesday, 28 June 2005 16:50 (twenty years ago)

I see now

― Edgware General (nordicskilla), Tuesday, 28 June 2005 17:04 (twenty years ago)

INDIE-POP DUDE NONSENSE

Confidential to Stormy: the Noise Board LOVES Of Montreal, Stars, and Architecture in Helsinki, so I'd watch what you say!!!

― jaymc (jaymc), Tuesday, 28 June 2005 17:42 (twenty years ago)

Why would anyone start watching what they said now?

Also, don't let Stormy so easily yank your chain. If you were confident in your tastes, why would you care what he thought about what you like?

That said, I don't care for Of Montreal, Stars, and Architecture in Helsinki -- especially Stars.

― Ellsworth M. Toohey (Grodd), Tuesday, 28 June 2005 17:47 (twenty years ago)

Confidential to Stormy: JAYMC IS BONKERS.

― MELVINS + BREWS = YR NEIGHBOR (ddb), Tuesday, 28 June 2005 17:48 (twenty years ago)

I prefer the term "BIZONKERS."

― jaymc (jaymc), Tuesday, 28 June 2005 17:53 (twenty years ago)

did someone say stars?

― cutty (mcutt), Tuesday, 28 June 2005 17:54 (twenty years ago)

do you want to see some?

― Ellsworth M. Toohey (Grodd), Tuesday, 28 June 2005 17:56 (twenty years ago)

Anyway, I am plenty confident in my tastes and don't really care that Stormy and I don't like the same stuff. It's what makes the world go round, innit. But since he's the one going around openly denigrating my taste at every opportunity, it does make me curious about the dude. I mean, I can't imagine that in real life he's that much of a dick, and yet here we are.

― jaymc (jaymc), Tuesday, 28 June 2005 17:57 (twenty years ago)

Does the indie-pop contingent on the Noise Board like PAS/CAL?

― jaymc (jaymc), Tuesday, 28 June 2005 17:58 (twenty years ago)

YES!

― cutty (mcutt), Tuesday, 28 June 2005 17:59 (twenty years ago)

pas/cal is PROG POP.

― cutty (mcutt), Tuesday, 28 June 2005 18:00 (twenty years ago)

― SMELLY MY... (Thor), Tuesday, 28 June 2005 18:00 (twenty years ago)

But since he's the one going around openly denigrating my taste at every opportunity, it does make me curious about the dude.

You did invite him to this thread though! Don't forget.

NEVER FORGET 6/28

― larry bundgee (bundgee), Tuesday, 28 June 2005 18:02 (twenty years ago)

you forgot one thing: 6/28

― cutty (mcutt), Tuesday, 28 June 2005 18:06 (twenty years ago)

Also, 6/28.

(Yes, I know, Dean!)

― jaymc (jaymc), Tuesday, 28 June 2005 18:13 (twenty years ago)

(I guess I'm asking for it.)

― jaymc (jaymc), Tuesday, 28 June 2005 18:15 (twenty years ago)

i seriously can't believe tim put zoogz rift on your mix.

― cutty (mcutt), Tuesday, 28 June 2005 18:31 (twenty years ago)

Of Montreal, Stars, and Architecture in Helsinki

I've never heard ANY of these! YAY!

― Edgware General (nordicskilla), Tuesday, 28 June 2005 18:34 (twenty years ago)

I CAN...AND IM GLAD.

SST FOR LIFE NIGGA!

― MELVINS + BREWS = YR NEIGHBOR (ddb), Tuesday, 28 June 2005 18:38 (twenty years ago)

I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHO THEY ARE.

― Ian John50n (orion), Tuesday, 28 June 2005 20:47 (twenty years ago)

oh ok, I got Mahavishnu Orchestra (slam dunk of course), Microstoria, Squarepusher, Trans Am, and um, is that like Freeform or something with the Lego guy? I think that's it. It's not really my scene. Ok, DEEBZ -- YOU WIN.

I will totally kick ass on this hip-hop one, the Ellison mix is MINE.

― Stormy Davis (diamond), Wednesday, 29 June 2005 05:13 (twenty years ago)

when you win, stormy, be sure to shake down the ellison song.

― Ellsworth M. Toohey (Grodd), Wednesday, 29 June 2005 05:23 (twenty years ago)

I can't believe Tim put his own song on there! i mean c'mon dude that's like wearing your band's t-shirt at your own gig, bro.

― hstencil (hstencil), Saturday, 2 July 2005 09:42 (twenty years ago)

I fucking forgot to submit my ballot.

It was all obvious stuff though.... Too Short, Big Pun, BDP, Eric B. & Rakim, .. etc cmon whatever. this is all be memoruy of three days ago. just real obvious hip-hop stuff. oh well, guess I missed the cutoff. Oh well!! Stylus my bunghole. I will give one Timothy Ellison a Earth and Fire CD. Everybody loves an Earth and Fire CD, they rock so hard ... maybe then, only then, I can score one of those vaunted ellison mixes .......

― Stormy Davis (diamond), Saturday, 2 July 2005 09:54 (twenty years ago)

I can't believe Tim put his own song on there! i mean c'mon dude that's like wearing your band's t-shirt at your own gig, bro.

no it isn't.

STORMY, DEAL. WILL SEE IF I CAN BURN ANOTHER ONE TOMORROW.
