Straight up disinterest compounded by the notion that I've already spent enough of my life being angry.

morbs, there were a lot of mixes during my courtship of dustin, i introduced him to shirley collins early on. combined with our mutual interest in folk music and a lot of record collecting and research, it's something that we both enjoy & enjoy sharing with each other? also murder ballads are pretty cool

does "Long Black Veil" fit into one of these? or is that more contemporary?

ok, I had no idea that originated as a Lefty Frizzell record in 1959!

most of the tracks are child ballads or their descendants, d. picked out british / irish / scottish recordings and i did american ones so there is a good helping of bluegrass / country / rockabilly type stuff there too.

It does. More so when I'm not concerned about the welfare of others, obv.

Wow, we used to start new threads after so few posts.
Though I just looked and we're only at 567 here.
Are we living in a post-gaythread world?
They started because someone (who no longer posts in these threads) lamented having no IRL gay friends in town. Which isn't exactly the same thing, unless he was saying the reason he had no gay friends in town is because he wasn't gay enough.
He quit this thread b/c he said it had started as a place for gay folks who weren't into the usual cultural trappings of gayness, but it had turned into the opposite (plus apparently some personality conflicts w/ individuals). He said some of this via IM, but he did tell us off when he left.

Funny you should mention Sunday school because I think it's my creeping atheism that's feeding my desire to not waste any available time being unhappy or reading books.

I don't think he ever explicitly stated that. And the best thing about these threads has always been the clashing personalities. THAT is what's missing these days and what's kept post totals low.

Oh, and the list of ex-gay thread regular participants is about twice as long as the current "roster." That too.

*moochers
Fuck.
My 7th Day Adventist upbringing gave me a really good understanding of the Bible, which led me to atheism. A lot of people think the SDAs are nuts, but they act nuts b/c they follow biblical law and principles without all the bullshit and pagan influences that the Catholics and governments introduced. E.g., they go to church on the 7th day.
Also, people think they are nuts b/c they are nuts in a way that is different from the majority of Christians.

Am I absent too often to be a regular anymore? I suppose so. I feel mostly like I don't have much to contribute to the discussion these days. Not doing anything particularly exciting and gay. Just living my mediocre domestic existence and trying to get my brain under control. :)
I promise at some point this summer there will be exciting and/or controversial stories to tell. Or not.

According to Wiki, Taco, Berlin, and Cameo all did versions of "Long Black Veil." Hmmm. Maybe Johnny Cash had a cameo at a Emmylou Harris concert in Berlin where they sang it and then had tacos afterward backstage.

It's been playing for 8 days at the West Village theater where all the amateurish gay movies run, and I'd never heard of it. Hardly anyone reviewed it.

you're running out of time, the solstice is Wednesday (?) and I ain't waitin'.
Only saw one paddling at Folsom East; fair was penned in to let CONDO OWNERS get to their buildings (kill kill kill), so I suspect that was my last year.
Also was amused by someone wearing this shirt:

CONDO OWNERS (kill kill kill)
I assure you, many condo owners who bought before the crash want to kill themselves more.

(NYC real estate back to 'booming')
Shoulda bought there, I guess.
― old people are made of poop (Eric H.), Monday, 18 June 2012 16:32 (eleven years ago) link
And rented at a steep profit.
which theater, chelsea clearview? if so, to be fair the non-amateurish ones like Weekend end up there also, and it's not really surprising that a minority-cast gay film isn't getting huge press.
that said, i knew i was going to pass on seeing "The Skinny" based on the trailer/writer/director alone.
ugh i'm dying for a non-terrible stateside gay movie to come about, i can't even remember what the last one i liked was past the 90s
