He's an enigma wrapped in a mystery, like Kevin Bacon in Footloose. He is TRACER HAND.

― Ally (mlescaut), Wednesday, 19 February 2003 18:53 (twenty-three years ago)

I almost grabbed his privates for $10 last night.

― Yanc3y (ystrickler), Wednesday, 19 February 2003 18:55 (twenty-three years ago)

he shares a b'day me therefore he IS me. Except he is TRACER HAND.

― mark s (mark s), Wednesday, 19 February 2003 18:56 (twenty-three years ago)

I know everyone hates the threads where ILE pats itself on the back, but can I just say that Tracer is just a flat-out great guy, and that if I get to New York for longer periods of time in the future I do expect him to hang out now and then?

― nabisco (nabisco), Wednesday, 19 February 2003 18:56 (twenty-three years ago)

He got a free razor from Gillette like me when he turned 16... that is our common bond. He is TRACER HAND.

― Aaron W (Aaron W), Wednesday, 19 February 2003 18:56 (twenty-three years ago)

I think "privates" is an inappropriate word for anything to do with Tracer Hand.

― Ally (mlescaut), Wednesday, 19 February 2003 18:57 (twenty-three years ago)

Wait, did you say he's wrapped in bacon? That explains his mysterious allure, among other things.

― Paul Eater (eater), Wednesday, 19 February 2003 18:58 (twenty-three years ago)

I would never share a bidet with tracer mark, you are a brave man.

― Ronan (Ronan), Wednesday, 19 February 2003 18:58 (twenty-three years ago)

hoho why aren't you at supergym ronan?

― mark s (mark s), Wednesday, 19 February 2003 19:01 (twenty-three years ago)

My excuse wasn't that I was going to go to the silly promo meeting for that gym, I was afraid it might appear that way. I would never turn down Dublin FAP to do that! I better go and clarify that on the thread itself.

― Ronan (Ronan), Wednesday, 19 February 2003 19:04 (twenty-three years ago)

Hmm, he didn't smell like bacon!

― hstencil, Wednesday, 19 February 2003 19:05 (twenty-three years ago)

Tracer Hand = master of good suave. A perfect person to share a breakfast with in Lower Manhattan at a Swedish eatery.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Wednesday, 19 February 2003 19:05 (twenty-three years ago)

i just wanted to post to this thread 'cause tracer is one of my fave ilxors.
so now i have.

― donna (donna), Wednesday, 19 February 2003 19:32 (twenty-three years ago)

"Master of good suave" = "schmoozy kiss ass"

― Ally (mlescaut), Wednesday, 19 February 2003 19:33 (twenty-three years ago)

see you in a few weeks tracer.

― gareth (gareth), Wednesday, 19 February 2003 19:34 (twenty-three years ago)

I've said it before, I'll say it again: he looks like Bryan from The Constantines*.

(*Except he is TRACER HAND.)

― mark p (Mark P), Wednesday, 19 February 2003 19:34 (twenty-three years ago)

I think "privates" is an inappropriate word for anything to do with Tracer Hand.

Taking sides: "privates" vs "publics"

― Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Wednesday, 19 February 2003 19:36 (twenty-three years ago)

"Master of good suave" = "schmoozy kiss ass"

Heavens no, that would be evil.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Wednesday, 19 February 2003 19:40 (twenty-three years ago)

he gave me some of the best advice of any ilx'er

― jess (dubplatestyle), Wednesday, 19 February 2003 19:44 (twenty-three years ago)

what was it?

― Mary (Mary), Wednesday, 19 February 2003 19:45 (twenty-three years ago)

Not to answer questions on a public forum.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Wednesday, 19 February 2003 19:46 (twenty-three years ago)

"kill them all"

And let God sort em out?

― Yanc3y (ystrickler), Wednesday, 19 February 2003 19:49 (twenty-three years ago)

so Ned is just saying that Tracer gets all his advice second hand from Lars Ulrich!

Tracer is cool.

― jel -- (jel), Wednesday, 19 February 2003 19:49 (twenty-three years ago)

yes. unfortunately one gray december morn i put his advice into practice. it took seventy federal marshalls to bring me down. now let us never speak of it again.

― jess (dubplatestyle), Wednesday, 19 February 2003 19:50 (twenty-three years ago)

Tracer rules. I think he was the first ILperson to reference me in another thread (re: my criticisms of electroclash).

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Wednesday, 19 February 2003 19:57 (twenty-three years ago)

The first night he met me, Tracer brought me, the guy I was sleeping with, my future ex-fiance, my crazy now-ex-roommate, and a couple ILXers to his friend's party. I have no idea why someone would do something obviously out of their mind like that, but from that day forward, Tracer Hand was my true love.

TRACER HAND.

God I should've went to work today.

― Ally (mlescaut), Wednesday, 19 February 2003 20:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Even though his name scares me a little, I do like the enigma and all-around good guy that is TRACER HAND.

― felicity (felicity), Wednesday, 19 February 2003 20:04 (twenty-three years ago)

His name is excellent for playing the "I hardly know 'er!" game. He is TRACER HAND.

― Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Wednesday, 19 February 2003 20:05 (twenty-three years ago)

I like it that everyone is going "He is TRACER HAND", it makes him seem very special and pompous and announced.

― Ally (mlescaut), Wednesday, 19 February 2003 20:09 (twenty-three years ago)

But I always am, sweetie, aren't I? Aren't I TRACER HAND?

Gosh you guys!

― Tracer Hand (tracerhand), Wednesday, 19 February 2003 20:16 (twenty-three years ago)

* recovers *

I mean TEN DOLLARS?! The loose bacon alone is worth that!

― Tracer Hand (tracerhand), Wednesday, 19 February 2003 20:23 (twenty-three years ago)

But it wouldn't have been for the money, dude. That would just be the icing to top off your, uh, "icing."

― Yanc3y (ystrickler), Wednesday, 19 February 2003 20:26 (twenty-three years ago)

What nitsuh said, big style. He's one of the people here who I'd buy a drink, rather than just, y'know, go for a drink with them. I mean, with a name like that, and the personality to match. Jeez, some puppies get all the luck.

That's good, cos TRACER HAND ain't never got money. He must owe me like 400 gallons of beer by now.

Back in the 1800s when Canadians didn't know any better they'd leave a jug of skinned oranges out on the back porch for weeks at a time. Then I'm not sure what happened.

― Tracer Hand (tracerhand), Wednesday, 19 February 2003 20:55 (twenty-three years ago)

Yes I do, I'm loaded!

(checks wallet)

Sorry, no I'm not.

I think that TRACER HAND should write an article for Freaky Trigger.

An article that is not about hip-hop.

You mean TRACER HAND.

― Ally (mlescaut), Thursday, 9 October 2003 13:22 (twenty-two years ago)

Or Traitor Hand.

What?

― Ally (mlescaut), Thursday, 9 October 2003 13:41 (twenty-two years ago)

From what I can tell, he's kind of like a happy-Lou-Reed-type figure with a lot of funny stories. He lives in London now.

― adaml (adaml), Thursday, 9 October 2003 13:43 (twenty-two years ago)

He has no funny stories. He's totally boring and uninteresting. His hands bleed a lot.

― Ally (mlescaut), Thursday, 9 October 2003 13:46 (twenty-two years ago)

My mistake.

― adaml (adaml), Thursday, 9 October 2003 13:47 (twenty-two years ago)

Yes, don't make it again. He's a mean, mean man and he left me to rot in a godforsaken hellhole and we cry every night in NYC now.

― Ally (mlescaut), Thursday, 9 October 2003 13:50 (twenty-two years ago)

He's just a wizened biker dude.

― Nicolars (Nicole), Thursday, 9 October 2003 13:59 (twenty-two years ago)

Yeah, but he was our wizened biker dude.

Tracer Hand thinks Vice magazine is funny and well-written, and says so in 8 words, whereas I need 80,000 and still fail to convince anyone.

― Momus (Momus), Thursday, 9 October 2003 18:50 (twenty-two years ago)

Tracer needs to get better, so he can continue to show Brits how true madness is done.

― Nichole Graham (Nichole Graham), Thursday, 9 October 2003 18:59 (twenty-two years ago)

I'm pretty sure he's not that good at "true madness"

Tracer Hand is missed not only in New York, but on the west coast, where he doesn't even live, as well. TRACER HAND.

Tracer is great - he made a point of doing some crazy handshake with me last night, so i felt like i was 'down' with him, it was great...

Does anyone know where I can find the thread where Tracer talks about dancing to imaginary house music because of drugs? That is still my favourite thing ever written on ILX.

The whole thread is just killer.

― Prude (Prude), Saturday, 27 March 2004 21:23 (twenty-two years ago)

it looks liek you confused tracer head with mr diamond nordics!

― Julio Desouza (jdesouza), Saturday, 27 March 2004 21:28 (twenty-two years ago)

Nope:

that afterwards, back at home, head bobbing, etc. I yell out to roomie "why'd you turn the music off?" and he's like "what music?" He comes back in. He's looking at me like a lab specimen. "The stereo's been off the whole time." I look down at my hands. They look huge. "What did you think you were listening to?" Sheepishly: "really good house music!!"

four years pass...

Last night I dreamed that Tracer Hand made an LP, on which he did impressions of 5 different musical artists, twice each, adding up to 10 tracks.

I was amazed at the quality of the Bob Dylan impression. It was in 1980s Dylan mode, say INFIDELS or EMPIRE BURLESQUE.

Then there were two Ian Dury pastiche tracks. But I don't recall the rest.
