This one was rather stupid of me....

Yes well I wanted to post a thread of a review I wrote, mainly because I enjoy being verbally abused, but decided against it and started this thread instead.

Gobshite is a fantastic word either way.

It was 2.

"A critical look at music in mid 20th century children's television."

.. I don't know - seemed like a pretty boring subject... no tits.

I always debate starting them. The last on I passed on was
Taking Sides: Jackson Browne v. The Shins
since it seemed mean-spirited. Doesn't James Mercer sound just like Jackson, though? They can be just as dreary and boring, too. Anyways.

Jackson Browne produced and sang some decent back-ups on David Lindley's excellent El Rayo X album. So there, I've just whatevered the unwhateverable for ya.

Yesterday, I thought of doing a TS featuring Cornelius and Daniel Bedingfield, but realised Tom's been crazy for as long as I've known him.

"German music is all goth: discuss" (IT IS)

i was very disappointed with ILM that i only got one measly example from somebody on this thread. especially with all the Factory fetishists in this place.Um, not that this has anything to do with hypothetical threads that i ended up not starting.

Basses Slung Low and Faces Set On Mope

Its a shame as I'd like to know more about that topic myself. Solo Colin Newman, eh? Huh.

― christhamrin (christhamrin), Wednesday, 25 February 2004 15:18 (twenty years ago) link

*thinks* Now why didn't I post to Scott's thread in the first place?

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Wednesday, 25 February 2004 16:06 (twenty years ago) link

maybe i was just trying to be too clever with the thread title. shoulda just called it Top Post-Punk Basslines!! or something to that effect.

― scott seward (scott seward), Wednesday, 25 February 2004 16:12 (twenty years ago) link

Yeah but then you said you didn't want to hear about Bauhaus, which sucks, since David J is a god, so nyah.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Wednesday, 25 February 2004 16:17 (twenty years ago) link

Yeah, but JJ Burnell would OWN that thread, so nyah squared, Nedrick.

I'm sorry, you said something? *hides*

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Wednesday, 25 February 2004 17:43 (twenty years ago) link

I didn't not want to hear about Bauhaus cuz i hate Bauhaus, nobody loves Bauhaus more then I, i just wanted more non-obvious examples of bonecrushing Bauhaus-esque and peter hook-ish bass playing. Stranglers would have been good. they ruled the land with an iron bass. but people who aren't/weren't famous and such. Or not well-known or forgotten.

― scott seward (scott seward), Wednesday, 25 February 2004 17:44 (twenty years ago) link

you know, late-70's/early-80's doom-laden types who had songs where the bass is the lead instrument(practically).

― scott seward (scott seward), Wednesday, 25 February 2004 17:47 (twenty years ago) link

I'm sorry, you said something? *hides*

Yeah, I said something. It's called THE TRUTH!

― Alex in NYC (vassifer), Wednesday, 25 February 2004 17:47 (twenty years ago) link

good lookin' out alex!

This could be a very long thread, except if you still have any inkling that your idea might make a good thread of its own, then why bury it here where discussion would be OT...

Thought about starting a "Top 100 dance tracks utilizing the 'The Realm' speech acapella", but feared a thread with rolling tumbleweed.

four years pass...

Came real close to starting a thread about significant others of dudes you bro down with contacting you via email, seemingly without dude knowing about it. As the thread wore on, I'd mention that the girl that was emailing me was also asking for money. "For him".

The whole punchline, after 50 or so posts, was going to be the text of these freakin' letters I keep getting from Michelle Obama. But the whole thing, you know, just didn't look good on the screen as it did inside my head.

three months pass...

lately I find I lack the chutzpah to start threads, or sometimes have a thought for a thread before going to sleep at night, then abandon or forget it the next day.

six years pass...
