FYI: Truth Attack - All Genres Of Music That Have Ever Existed Contain Awesome Music In Them, And If You Write Off A Whole Genre Of Music You Are Being Closeminded And Dumb

i'm shocked control made geir's r&b list! i mean it's a classic obv but it does seem to particularly prioritise rhythm and club atmosphere over melody and harmony.

Maybe he enjoys Janet on other levels.

Wow, Geir actually came through with some genuine human interaction towards the end of this thread. Prog Rock - Bringing People Together Since 1969!

Next we will be having The Lex's Top 20 Indie albums!

1. The Ting Tings - We Started Nothing

2. Mansun - Six

3. Girls Aloud - Out Of Control

4. New Fast Automatic Daffodils - The Peel Sessions

5. Blonde Redhead - 23

Hooray! I finally read this thread, after its having sat atop my browser as an unread bookmark for 11 months. It looked like a good start! And then it devolved into Geir. By the way, is this the closest Marcello has gotten to admitting he's Geir? I've suspected that since I started reading ILM. Their writing styles are very similar. I think Geir is just an experiment of his to try out a particular theory of pop works, and since Geir gets such a "good" response here means the Geir character has stuck around. It's good fun, anyway.

Geir was, is and will always be his own person. Those of us who first encountered him online back in 1994 or so know this.

I want to believe.

But have Marcello and Geir ever been in the same room at the same time? ;)

Marcello had a Geir-imitating sockpuppet a few years ago, I can't remember what it was called though. If he was Geir right from the beginning, why create a sockpuppet to ape Geir?

Ah yeah, Marcello's sockpuppet was called "Comstock Carabinieri". Maybe it was a self-parody though, with Geir being the "serious" sockpuppet?

Truth is always stranger than fiction.
