Regarding Momus

the weird free pass people seem to give this guy just for being a bit interesting

how is Dom btw?

karaoke obsessed, last I saw

Don't recall ever giving Dom a free pass, but hey, at least he only made jokes about hitting women, right?

I think he at least attempted - and often failed spectacularly - to be intellectually honest in his discussions

Like in Big Brother when someone's a complete cunt but still somehow gets kudos for at least being themselves and keeping it real

Can I just posit a theory that the hitting never happened?

That he had some sort of urge to do it, thinking about it and what the reaction of both people might be?

^^ pretty much what happened to peter sutcliffe.

I never took much notice of the geezer (Momus that is, not Sutcliffe), maybe he was just on different threads than me and maybe he'd done all his most irritating work before I showed up

xpost maybe, but without actually doing it?

I'll at least give Momus that it takes a very peculiar sort of asshat to be this controversial this long after leaving the board.

Oh there's few others who could manage that too

the weird free pass

I just don't consider it my job to be handing out or witholding passes on a messageboard.

I mean, if I had to sit up and take notice and give the cold shoulder to everyone here who seems like they'd be a bit creepy in their private lives then uh...

yeah tbh a large part of this is to do with me having heard the other party's account of the above; probably not really fair for me to get into arguments with people who are just going by the guy's annoying internet posts

Have yall heard "the Vaudevillian" off his Joemus record? It's fucking awesome!

momus was before my time here but one of the coolest old threads i've ever read was this one: Momus, judges

And I'm not even going to get into the stupidity and extremely dubious racial shit behind the mindset that equates 'fancying Japanese girls' with 'fetishes'.

this was a great thread all in itself

i remember this but can't remember what it was called. link?

its just a movie dum dum

"i'm not a bitch, i'm just honest"

I don't recall any of Momus' anti-working class screeds - anyone got any examples?

"birthday Grinch"

I want to know what this is bcz it sounds awesome.

The Birthday Grinch

The Carrey grinch was his grinch image of choice :O

he was a bit of a prick on the syd barrett RIP thread and I can't believe his post about what he enjoys doing with japanese women hasn't reappeared here it was hall of fame o_O

but he did defend metal box and the flowers of romance to the end so he wasn't all bad

Wait, you mean something other than the gansha one upthread?

yeah, defending a canonical rock record does kinda redeem all the other shit.

xp

what can I say he was an edgy dude

If you go to the ICA in London, you notice that Japanese girls sometimes seem to be the only people there. I am, in human form, the ICA. I am sustained, like that venerable London arts institution, by the patronage and kindness of these hyper- cultuivated people. I also enjoy fucking them.

People actually enjoy getting outraged by Momus' steez, don't they?

proof of a true artist

Sege Gainsbourg

I'm not sure whether I think his acknowledging and theorising of his inherent sexism is better or worse than the many posters who are misogynistic without acknowledging it, or even realising it. I think it's probably worse. [...]

when that marie calloway shit went down i was sort of relieved that momus that dude's like 55 and was still mentioned as having gotten sucked off by her or something. forget the details. do your thing dawg.

wait what

Calloway " I wanna be rich" C/D ???????????

no, bipolar livejournal author marie calloway

a delicate flower trod underfoot by the opprsive male hairy sag??

i never really got the ilx-hating on momus. and i say that as someone who is largely ignorant of his music, etc output

tracer way otm in this thread and also suzy

I think it was love/hate

scott's '09 thread revive story is so good, though. instant momus gonna getchoo

ne'r shall we soon forget
the geoduck that met us yet
when nude he photographed his parts
and shared them with the bloggin arts

xposts def "love to hate" at least. ilx needs more "bad boys" or else it will die the way hair metal did in the nineties and posts will only be revived at strip mall venues in suburban va and downstate ny
