Sonic Boom does / did analogue knob twiddling for Spacemen 3, Spectrum and E.A.R.

Benjamin Curtis does laptop knob twiddling for School of Seven Bells.

Electronics means anything, apparently so they count!

I know I'm so in the minority on this, but I just don't like what Benjamin Curtis has done to his hair these days. I liked him so much better with longer hair, when he was still in Secret Machines.

I don't like "conventionally good looking" dudes, they're just too square-jawed and even, I like the dudes who are kinda o_0 and ginger and weird looking and actually have interesting faces.

Also, it's the little dark one that is the hott one in BoC.

Jaar would totally be cute if he let his hair grow out a little. I can't stand that closed cropped thing.

Dettmann is a lot closer to what I like, but he's still a bit too chiselled and symmetrical and not strange looking enough.

I think I have vagina fatigue. Like, there are so many beautiful artists on this thread I can't even contemplate which ones are attractive any more.

So instead I'm going to do self-indulgent gender theory for a minute... but, for real, I keep thinking about the switch in terminology on this thread.

Like, one of the reasons that I've been so hostile towards "would smash" threads is because I really, really hate that phrase. It just sounds so uncomfortable and painful. If you are the possessor of a vagina, then the idea of having it smashed into atoms or whatever is not sexy, it is knee-crossingly painful and awkward. And that is not the best state to enjoy some perving. So the flip in terminology at the start of the thread, yes, it was a jokey reference to an ILX clusterfuck, but I've decided that it's a worthwhile metaphor, and a different way of looking at sexual attraction - that "would smash" just has such violent and painful associations, but "I want to put that person in (the orifice of my choice)" is much more like how we listen to music, the whole idea of music being this lovely thing we put into our ears and into our brains.

Probably won't catch on, unfortunately.

When I can get Spodify working again, I do want to see if I can make a playlist of this thread. I bet it would be awesome. But YouTubes are great in the meanwhile, because Coal's dancing boys are cuet.

smash is not so different from nail, screw, bang, etc. even fuck; one of its (contested obv) etymological roots is the germanic fuk/fok which means to strike, with words across the germanic family meaning either striking or sex or both

not that that changes the argument.

A blast from the past:

Described by Time Magazine as "a cross between Carl Sagan and Madonna", astrophysicist, author and recording artist Fiorella Terenzi has studied opera and composition at Conservatory G. Verdi, Corsi Popolari Serali and taught mathematics and physics at Liceo Scientifico, Milan. In research at the Computer Audio Research Laboratory, University of California, San Diego, she developed techniques to convert radio waves from galaxies into sound - released by Island Records on her acclaimed CD "Music from the Galaxies".
