apropos of nothing except to keep back the tide of the upstarts over at the heretical "Recommend Stuff that sounds like Low & Leonard Cohen thread," please read my newest piece about the Junior Boys - I haven't said exactly what I want to say yet, but I'm getting there & enjoying the process

J0hn Darn1elle (J0hn Darn1elle), Monday, 21 June 2004 00:12 (nineteen years ago) link

Let me repeat, J0hn, I do think it's relevant;
All binaries compel us to privilege one element.

You say you weren't privileging 'roots' above 'becoming'
Then why did you say 'roots' without 'becoming' was 'just' something?

You wanted to have your cake and eat it too;
Eating without having wasn't good enough for you?

momus has the rhyming right
too shame that he talks such shite

ken c (ken c), Monday, 21 June 2004 00:18 (nineteen years ago) link

Yet you must admit however
The Scottish player is bloody clever

the music mole (colin s barrow), Monday, 21 June 2004 00:23 (nineteen years ago) link

i'm sure you're correct ken calum is legal
but with his pearl necklace did he look regal?

omg, Monday, 21 June 2004 00:24 (nineteen years ago) link

Sometimes I like to brag, sometimes I'm soft spoken
When I'm in Holland I eat the pannekoeken.

Momus (Momus), Monday, 21 June 2004 00:25 (nineteen years ago) link

maybe the day calum cleans off the cum and phlegm
will be when momus is finally OTM.

ken c (ken c), Monday, 21 June 2004 00:28 (nineteen years ago) link

haha omg yes he sure looked pretty
with pearl necklace on his man-titty

ken c (ken c), Monday, 21 June 2004 00:32 (nineteen years ago) link

and now that i've owned this thread
i guess i should feed calum's headgo to bed

Bye bye Ken, adieu, goodnight
God bless, sweet dreams, farewell, sleep tight.

Do you mean that the money shot we currently see
Aimed at Calum is one day destined for me?

Momus (Momus), Monday, 21 June 2004 00:36 (nineteen years ago) link

Sometimes I like to brag, sometimes I'm soft spoken
When I'm in Holland I eat the pannekoeken.

Did you steal that from KRS-ONE or something?

Daniel_Rf (Daniel_Rf), Monday, 21 June 2004 00:36 (nineteen years ago) link

If KRS were in the place
The money shot would be in your face

All but goys should recognise
New York's finest: The Beastie Boys

Momus (Momus), Monday, 21 June 2004 00:39 (nineteen years ago) link

i had to fight
for my right
to bukka-ke

ken c (ken c), Monday, 21 June 2004 00:43 (nineteen years ago) link

Jewish boys making a pancake rap
What could be less authentic than that?

Momus (Momus), Monday, 21 June 2004 00:44 (nineteen years ago) link

The Beastie Boys are whining brats
Can Buddhists have a taste for gats?

And as for NY, consider 3rd Bass
You know, the ones who wrote 'Gas Face'

the music mole (colin s barrow), Monday, 21 June 2004 00:45 (nineteen years ago) link

from hour to hour I check on this posting
to see who's been bitching, whining and boasting

the original thread's been lost long ago
and now we're comparing the relative slow -

ness of calum and some other young dudes
and doubting legality regardin' the nudes

I can't ascertain if devolving
is the name of the game or evolving

would indict more the truth
regarding digression into trolls' youth.

momus's a good sport, with patience to spare
too bad his opinions are founded on air.

j e r e m y (x Jeremy), Monday, 21 June 2004 00:48 (nineteen years ago) link

Don't knock air -- for what it's worth
If you need to breathe, it's better than earth.

Momus (Momus), Monday, 21 June 2004 00:50 (nineteen years ago) link

that quote I'd excelsior if it were needed
but it's contexutally funny, not funny repeated.

j e r e m y (x Jeremy), Monday, 21 June 2004 00:53 (nineteen years ago) link

Excelsior is like that, nu?
(Yes, you've guessed it, I'm a Jew)
For many jokes that make us titter
Deprived of context, go down the sh*tter


'The Locking of the Avril Thread'...
One it it will be put to bed.

the music mole (colin s barrow), Monday, 21 June 2004 00:57 (nineteen years ago) link

momus you may have heard
- or, if others are right about you, you may not have heard -

the expression:
"don't hate the player, hate the game."

binaries of necessity privilege one element.
this is why we should reject them,

not pay lip service to rejecting them
and then pick a prong.

my catholic self feels bad
that I am not rhyming

but I do not have
the rhymes tonight!

I hope my half-brained stab
at MacLeish's diction

is at least somewhat
amusing.

as for your harping
on a single word

from my broader point:
here's a binary

you may recognize.
Forest/trees.

J0hn Darn1elle (J0hn Darn1elle), Monday, 21 June 2004 01:13 (nineteen years ago) link

J0hn, why do you spurn the rhyme?
Is it cos you lack the time?

Or do you find it chafes your freedom
To go AA BB CC, man?

the music mole (colin s barrow), Monday, 21 June 2004 01:22 (nineteen years ago) link

O I think I'm on record
(to pun somewhat)

as being pro-rhyme! for whatever reason
tonight

when I put fingers to keyboard
it's lines like these that come.

I suspect
it has something to do

with how I write
when I write in rhyme:

i.e.,
pen to paper

not keyboard
to screen.

J0hn Darn1elle (J0hn Darn1elle), Monday, 21 June 2004 01:25 (nineteen years ago) link

[also, my professor Robert Mezey, a terrific poet, drummed into my brain the essential goodness of rhymes that glisten like crystals, and so even when I'm writing doggerel I'm [stupidly] demanding of myself & if I start to play with you guys on this front, I will wind up revising two-line posts for, like, hours, which would be kinda pathetic]

J0hn Darn1elle (J0hn Darn1elle), Monday, 21 June 2004 01:27 (nineteen years ago) link

Aha, I see your point, Darn1elle
Why blight the world with doggerel?

the music mole (colin s barrow), Monday, 21 June 2004 01:33 (nineteen years ago) link

It does wrong by my father on Father's day, I feel,
if I do not point out that my name is pronounced "dar-kneel."

J0hn Darn1elle (J0hn Darn1elle), Monday, 21 June 2004 01:37 (nineteen years ago) link

Dar-kneel it is, and if you please
Accept my sincere apologies.

the music mole (colin s barrow), Monday, 21 June 2004 01:41 (nineteen years ago) link

It's father's day? I've had no call!
Seems no-one appreciates my role at all!

But then again, I am a cad
For I, too, have not called my dad.

the music mole (colin s barrow), Monday, 21 June 2004 01:45 (nineteen years ago) link

I recall an early Shakespeare play
That rhymed and rattled just this way;

I'm sure you are all erudite
And can the play in question cite?

This thread has taken a turn for the weird.

Ned Raggett (Ned), Monday, 21 June 2004 02:44 (nineteen years ago) link

$0.02: momus is conservative because his conception of art and his appreciation of beauty is (willfully?) narrow and (willfully?) solipsistic.

i thought you might have meant the michael moore one. but you're right.

when i was taking a cig break at work friday (i now work in lower manhattan), i was approached by 2 lubavichers who thought i was jewish. i told them that i wasn't, and they politely bid me adieu.

does that count?

that i was smoking should've been the tip-off. i bet that the moshiach won't be a smoker.

An old Jew once lost his snuffbox made of horn, on his way to the House of Study. He wailed: ‘Just as if the dreadful exile weren't enough, this must happen to me! Oh me, oh my, I've lost my snuffbox made of horn!' And then he came upon the sacred goat. The sacred goat was pacing the earth, and the tips of his black horns touched the stars. When he heard the old Jew lamenting, he leaned down to him, and said, ‘Cut a piece from my horns, whatever you need to make a new snuffbox.'

The old Jew did this, made a new snuffbox, and filled it with tobacco. Then he went to the House of Study and offered everyone a pinch. They snuffed and snuffed, and everyone who snuffed it cried: ‘Oh, what wonderful tobacco! It must be because of the box. Oh, what a wonderful box! Wherever did you get it?' So the old man told them about the good sacred goat. And then one after the other they went out on the street and looked for the sacred goat.

The sacred goat was pacing the earth and the tips of his black horns touched the stars. One after another the people went up to him and begged permission to cut off a bit of his horns. Time after time the sacred goat leaned down to grant the request. Box after box was made and filled with tobacco. The fame of the boxes spread far and wide. At every step he took, the sacred goat met someone who asked for a piece of his horns.

Now the sacred goat still paces the earth – but he has no horns.

"See this is why I love ILE. Plato, Barthes, Breton, Seneca and Ducasse are invoked in the midst of a heated exchange about netiquette - all within about 20 posts."

OTM. I'm just sittin' back with popcorn, enjoying the show.

The way I see it, there's a lot of brilliant writers here NOW DON'T GET SHY ITS TRUE and they simply need a pretext for pyrotechnics. Avril Lavigne will do fine. It's like when a bunch of physicists and chaos theorists get together for a series of hi-tech experiments to determine whether there's any validity to the butter side down rule.
