Pervert.

Cheese is great. My romantic valentine's present to give to someone special this year was: cheesey knob

where did i get it without the e then? my brain was telling me that and i ignored it, stupid me.

yep daedalus was the one who invented and made the wings, foolish icarus melted his by flying too close to the sun and drownded in the sea.

that is better than having doves stuck in your head (i mean, not actual doves, that would rule, but the tedious manc band with 0 tunes) which is what i have got now. to make it worse the radio is playing the feeling argh argh argh awful awful sub-travis wittery.

the minotaur? that is PERFECT, then, for backstreet navigation. daedalus it is!

― emsk, Thursday, 15 March 2007 14:21 (nineteen years ago)

You could call it Dadaismus

― Brigadier Lethbridge-Pfunkboy, Thursday, 15 March 2007 14:21 (nineteen years ago)

Ugh ugh ugh, but hey, having birds in your head would be good but if they were actual doves, I would be scared that horrible pidgeons would get in there by mistake, I see what they are doing to the bridge over Streatham Station, and would not like that done to my brain.

I am listening to Triumph 2000 and oh dear, such silly silly lyrics. I suspect they may be up there with the 120 Days or whatever in "err... thanks but no thanks" stakes. I hate when DDBs *try* to be sexy. They try too hard and end up anti-sexy.

― Masonic Boom, Thursday, 15 March 2007 14:22 (nineteen years ago)

The Triumph 2000 was a pretty crappy car IIRC.

That Colleen Moore clip has been pulled from youtube due to "terms of use violation". WTF, the film's from 1929, might get a limited theatrical release, will probably never come out on DVD, I don't understand the logic.

― Pashmina, Thursday, 15 March 2007 14:26 (nineteen years ago)

No misquoting TYVM!

― Forest Pines, Thursday, 15 March 2007 14:26 (nineteen years ago)

Anyway, morning. My first fully healthy day so far since my return!

― Ned Raggett, Thursday, 15 March 2007 14:27 (nineteen years ago)

Stephen Dadaismus - I would prolly have called myself that in old-ILX

― Tom D., Thursday, 15 March 2007 14:28 (nineteen years ago)

I've got to stop looking at pictures of Hawkwind for the "cute bassists" thread because every now and then a pic of Stacia pops up and it's all WHOOPS seriously not work safe there.

― Masonic Boom, Thursday, 15 March 2007 14:30 (nineteen years ago)

A friend of mine and Hari's is in berlin on a college trip. She was telling us that her hotel is in a street with sex shops, porn cinemas and fetish/rubber clubs. One of which is called [i.Stink![/i]

So FP...

― Brigadier Lethbridge-Pfunkboy, Thursday, 15 March 2007 14:30 (nineteen years ago)

Woot! Healthy Ned!

OMG Emsk, the fucking feeling. We saw them one night on live at abbey road and had to physically restrain each other from leaping at the tv and KILL KILL KILL.

― G00blar, Thursday, 15 March 2007 14:32 (nineteen years ago)

Those pictures of stacia on that jorgen angel site are, er, quite something. She was an awesome-looking woman.

― Pashmina, Thursday, 15 March 2007 14:32 (nineteen years ago)

Yes, she is an awesome looking woman! Quite gorgeous. But I really don't want to see her nekkid breasts popping up when my boss walks by.

― Masonic Boom, Thursday, 15 March 2007 14:34 (nineteen years ago)

Ah ha! Kate's groupies have arrived at the Truck Festival!

I want purple corduroy flares. Would that make me too much of a sodding hippie?

― Masonic Boom, Thursday, 15 March 2007 14:38 (nineteen years ago)

yes

― Brigadier Lethbridge-Pfunkboy, Thursday, 15 March 2007 14:39 (nineteen years ago)

Nah, if the paisley didnt' do it, the flares certainly won't.

― G00blar, Thursday, 15 March 2007 14:39 (nineteen years ago)

Point/Counterpoint

― G00blar, Thursday, 15 March 2007 14:39 (nineteen years ago)

Well, it's not like I'm going to get purple corduroy flares with little paisleys embroidered around the hems or anything!

Though actually... hrmmmm.

― Masonic Boom, Thursday, 15 March 2007 14:40 (nineteen years ago)

Who did Stacia marry? Some rock star...

― Tom D., Thursday, 15 March 2007 14:40 (nineteen years ago)

Yes.

I am on FIRE today. I have obtained the use of a Honda F1 racing car for our company to use for 4 days! (You can't drive it - but we can have it at work or at a show or to swank around with customers).

I have part 2 of nu-job interview in 20 mins. Getting the car will help!

― Dr.C, Thursday, 15 March 2007 14:42 (nineteen years ago)

Tony Ashton from ashton, gardner and dyke, I think?

― Pashmina, Thursday, 15 March 2007 14:42 (nineteen years ago)

Nice one, Dr. C!

― G00blar, Thursday, 15 March 2007 14:43 (nineteen years ago)

Six foot tall she was! Mama!

― Tom D., Thursday, 15 March 2007 14:44 (nineteen years ago)

Re: bike -- PEDALUS

Re: the feeling, i was convinced this was a sick joke for some time

― tissp, Thursday, 15 March 2007 14:47 (nineteen years ago)

I hoped The Feeling were a joke too but sadly they do exist.

― Brigadier Lethbridge-Pfunkboy, Thursday, 15 March 2007 14:52 (nineteen years ago)

There should be a band called The It

― Ned Raggett, Thursday, 15 March 2007 14:53 (nineteen years ago)

kate i have some purple corduroy flares... try them out next time you come round!

― emsk, Thursday, 15 March 2007 14:54 (nineteen years ago)

Would be superb with a yorkshire accent

― tissp, Thursday, 15 March 2007 14:54 (nineteen years ago)

(xpost)

― tissp, Thursday, 15 March 2007 14:55 (nineteen years ago)

Like yr clothes would ever fit me, Emsk! I might get one leg into the waistband. :-(

I have never actually heard the Feeling. I think this is why I'm so calm and non-hating about music these days. I just don't get exposed to bands that I would hate!

― Masonic Boom, Thursday, 15 March 2007 14:55 (nineteen years ago)

The Feeling are difficult to hate--they are so utterly bland that it's difficult to summon up any kind of emotion whatsoever (ironically)

― tissp, Thursday, 15 March 2007 14:56 (nineteen years ago)

Using The Lex Rule™ You don't need to hear bands to hate them anymore.

― Brigadier Lethbridge-Pfunkboy, Thursday, 15 March 2007 14:56 (nineteen years ago)

That said, the Triumph 2000 tracks where they don't sing, and don't really have any riffs, and just kind of wibble on are quite nice.

― Masonic Boom, Thursday, 15 March 2007 14:57 (nineteen years ago)

**Six foot tall she was! Mama!**

TOTAL TALL HOTTNESS?

― Dr.C, Thursday, 15 March 2007 14:58 (nineteen years ago)

Yes, Stacia = the very definition of Total Tall Hottness.

I just want more pictures of young Hawkwind with Lemmy looking almost.. err... cute.

― Masonic Boom, Thursday, 15 March 2007 14:59 (nineteen years ago)

I have heard one Feeling song which was a quite good ELO pastiche. The only other one I heard was the one they performed on the Christmas Day TOTP which was really awful!

― Grandpont Genie, Thursday, 15 March 2007 15:01 (nineteen years ago)

Sorry, I can't find any photos of Stacia with her clothes ON just right now...

but in the meantime, wow, look at these synths:

http://www.starfarer.net/galleryb/dik_del.jpg

― Masonic Boom, Thursday, 15 March 2007 15:01 (nineteen years ago)

To be accurate, that's some "sound generators" Dik Mik fiddling about with

― Tom D., Thursday, 15 March 2007 15:03 (nineteen years ago)

Ahah!

http://www.starfarer.net/galleryd/staciach.jpg

― Masonic Boom, Thursday, 15 March 2007 15:03 (nineteen years ago)

Not very flattering, she's got platforms on, she must have been about 6' 2" in them!

― Tom D., Thursday, 15 March 2007 15:04 (nineteen years ago)

The one on the left is a synth! It's a primitive VCS3 or something. On the right is just oscillators of the sort that Joe used to have. And what looks like a Copycat type tape echo or something. Hard to tell.

― Masonic Boom, Thursday, 15 March 2007 15:04 (nineteen years ago)

I haven't played the Triumph 2000 or The Slipstream yet.

― Brigadier Lethbridge-Pfunkboy, Thursday, 15 March 2007 15:05 (nineteen years ago)

OK, then, Dada, you find a flattering SFW pic of Stacia with clothes on.

― Masonic Boom, Thursday, 15 March 2007 15:05 (nineteen years ago)

x-post it gets much better towards the end, when it goes all instrumental. I'm scared of the remixes, though.

― Masonic Boom, Thursday, 15 March 2007 15:06 (nineteen years ago)

The ones with clothes off are better.

You should talk to our drummer about Hawkwind, Kate.

― Dr.C, Thursday, 15 March 2007 15:06 (nineteen years ago)
