This group is the single really thrilling hope for pop music, which without them would be desperately dull (even—especially—the "new" Boredoms record).

No, they were a pretty average hardcore band four years ago playing guitar, bass, drums.

Let us write haikus about Momus.

Momus read review
Momus listens to promo
Momus writes poorly

Don't forget the whole condescending "YOU must have downloaded an MP3 or received a promo" claim.

We should ask Momus about the REAL rules on haikus.

― PHOIOEI (blastocyst), Monday, 1 August 2005 21:24 (twenty years ago)

true haikus are direct observations of nature, not all this subjective subculturisms.

― Boring Satanic Space Jazz (sexyDancer), Monday, 1 August 2005 21:28 (twenty years ago)

Wind across the pines
Momus adjusts his eyepatch
Ripples on the pond

perfect.

True haikus are actually based on the number of morae, not syllables as we count them, although the two phonetic units usually overlap. Morae can be represented by a single hiragana character, thus an exception would be "n" as a coda, but not as a syllable onset (e.g. "n" in the "ran" is a separate mora, but not the "n" in "no.")

Have I killed the thread yet?
