Not to get too demographically-reductionist/sexist about it, just facing the median, like a record store lackey should. Chuck, you're not gonna do that soundbite shit are ya? They messed up Bob, at least onece: famous critic says, "Kurt Cobain--" and that's the money shot, so CUT. (H'mm,soundbites fall behind;Blender leads the way..Kogan quotes a friend,"That's too short for my attention span." It just hasn't been re-trained yet for today's economy.)

Chuck says "Marilyn Manson" money-shot-wise in Bowling For Columbine if I'm not mistaken. Haha Michael Moore has even misrepresented an ILXor!

JON LANGFORD'S COCK HAS BEEN STOLEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!111111111111111111

Thanks to modern science and the preservation efforts of Cynthia Plastercaster, there is a light at the end of the tunnel for Mr. Langford.

― CeCe Peniston (Anthony Miccio), Thursday, 26 August 2004 22:30 (twenty-one years ago)

On the tip there are you, Penis-ton. Good 4 u! Hey, aren't furriner criticks/chks getting shorted here??????Come on people!

― International Velvet, Saturday, 28 August 2004 15:21 (twenty-one years ago)

"furriner" Was the Ian McDonald in Foreigner and King Crimson the same one who rock wrote? Now playing: Toop Short. Get your 'verse on!

― Tony Joe Costello, Saturday, 28 August 2004 20:20 (twenty-one years ago)

Oh yeah, the basic thing about the pesky prevalence of soundbites these days isn't even whether they're as zinger as they mean to be or not. What really bugs me is that once we at least got to talk back to the TV, one of life's small but true pleasures, Now it talks back to istself, joking on itself before we can, or discouraging us from doing so, cos the comments are as dumb (often dumber) than what's being commented on. Kinda like Gov. A. joking on himself by calling his reality-grubbing opponents, calling them "girlynmen" (does that include female opponents? Basically, yah, especially all thse gropinator stories that keep "erupting" to no consequence, proving he's not yer Bill Clinton-type performer after all, strictly speaking). The real point of preempting our little remarks, though is not even protection as such; that would be showing iniative, in a"personal" way, which might give us the wrong idea, monkey-see-monkey-do-wise, The right idea is no idea: abandon all thought ye who enter here. Not even really about responding to the ads, except via osmosis. That's all I got to rant about that. As you were.

I've responded by mocking Michael Ian Black (which I guess does keep me from mocking the subject of his mockery, those fiendish devils).

― CeCe Peniston (Anthony Miccio), Sunday, 29 August 2004 03:21 (twenty-one years ago)

True! They also pre-empt via decoys, ritual sacrifices, really (The Devil kisses Black twice on each cheek and holds him out the window, as I understand it.)

three months pass...

i have finally seen a picture of jim derogatis.

I always want to revive this thread but I never have a good reason.

― miccio (miccio), Monday, 27 December 2004 23:38 (twenty-one years ago)

this thread should remain at the top of this board, forever.

― maria tessa sciarrino (theoreticalgirl), Monday, 27 December 2004 23:54 (twenty-one years ago)

You'd have thought the NME would use some of that haircare products sponsorship money to employ some attractive writers, no?

― Dom Passantino (Dom Passantino), Monday, 27 December 2004 23:55 (twenty-one years ago)

Me. Heh. No, my pal Cat is a striking almond eyed brunette, but cos she only occasionally writes the odd music review she can't really be counted as a music crit.
Nadine McBay, who writes for various things is pretty foxy.
I met Kitty Empire at a gig last year. I found her a striking angular brunette. Which, as you might have guessed, is my bag.

― in disguise, Tuesday, 28 December 2004 00:08 (twenty-one years ago)

What about metababes? Foxiest writing, especially if it doesn't seem to be intended that way (au naturelmental,like). Terri Sutton's writng can be like that, even though I don't nec. agree with a lot of her opinions.

― don, Tuesday, 28 December 2004 01:57 (twenty-one years ago)

don, leave meta out of this! dont make me flag you.

― maria tessa sciarrino (theoreticalgirl), Tuesday, 28 December 2004 02:06 (twenty-one years ago)

NME has in the past employed at least one foxy ILMer, so hair care ahoy.

― nabiscothingy (nory), Tuesday, 28 December 2004 02:22 (twenty-one years ago)

also the answer to this thread question is still ME

― nabiscothingy (nory), Tuesday, 28 December 2004 02:30 (twenty-one years ago)

She says she likes Good Charlotte now because they wear eyeliner and are sad now, but she's really shouting their praises to earn my favor. It's working.

― miccio (miccio), Tuesday, 28 December 2004 08:48 (twenty-one years ago)

That should be a picture of Ultragrrrl. She is foxy.

― miccio (miccio), Tuesday, 28 December 2004 08:50 (twenty-one years ago)

Though its probably more noteworthy which female musicbloggas I don't consider foxy.

― miccio (miccio), Tuesday, 28 December 2004 08:51 (twenty-one years ago)

The answer is of course the lovechild of Jim Derogatis and Zsa Zsa Gabor.

Ned.

Apparently I am a bandwidth thief.

It's Clem Bastow. Me and her and Little Rob were dancing to ODB on the stereo at a house party only two nights ago. She is great.

― Tim Finney (Tim Finney), Monday, 14 March 2005 10:58 (twenty-one years ago)

Me, of course.

― Alfred Soto (Alfred Soto), Monday, 14 March 2005 12:17 (twenty-one years ago)

I should clarify that my post meant that the photo is of Clem. Not that Clem is the foxiest rock critic. Although she might be. Is there a good looking male rock critic I can slaver over?

― Tim Finney (Tim Finney), Monday, 14 March 2005 12:19 (twenty-one years ago)

"slaver" = "slather" X "slave"

― Tim Finney (Tim Finney), Monday, 14 March 2005 12:19 (twenty-one years ago)

me & nitsuh, obv.

― cozen (Cozen), Monday, 14 March 2005 13:06 (twenty-one years ago)

Okay then. But I have a strict policy of not dating music critics. They'll break yr heart with emo abandon.

― Tim Finney (Tim Finney), Monday, 14 March 2005 13:26 (twenty-one years ago)

Ned.

I don't think I cut quite so fine a figure.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Monday, 14 March 2005 13:30 (twenty-one years ago)

Perhaps...but consider the competition.

AC/DC – "Rock N’ Roll Damnation"
The all-time greatest Side One, Track One, off AC/DC’s greatest album, "Powerage" (I don’t care what the "Back In Black" fanatics say, Bon Scott is God). I just think Bon was the best frontman ever; what was so fabulous about him was the way he melded that bogan, working-class machismo with something altogether more feminine and feline. "Rock N’ Roll Damnation" is probably not their most “AC/DC” song, but its swagger and pure joy in rock’n’roll is inspiring.

Now I'm in love.

Clem Bastow's on my MSN Messenger list!

― Dom Passantino (Dom Passantino), Monday, 14 March 2005 18:07 (twenty-one years ago)

Looks like Clem is taking the title . . . but let's not forget Philip Sherburne's twinkly eyes, people.

― Drew Daniel (Drew Daniel), Monday, 14 March 2005 18:27 (twenty-one years ago)

if you're into the overly tanned jersey girl look, she's OK.

― maria tessa sciarrino (theoreticalgirl), Monday, 14 March 2005 18:39 (twenty-one years ago)

Clem's recent "10 most interesting things rock stars have ever said to me" article was slightly flawed in that none of them were very interesting at all actually. Is this cos scuzzy rock boys get all tongue tied when they're talking to hotties?

― JimD (JimD), Monday, 14 March 2005 18:57 (twenty-one years ago)

I was actually thinking she was the tanner, Aussie version of Sia Michael.

That's Village Voice's Fly Life columnist on the left (who I think looks cool), Sia in the middle, and Ant'ny's obsession, Ultragrrrl on the right, who has just left SPIN.

Ultragrrrl looks EXACTLY like my sister's best friend.

― Mike O. (Mike Ouderkirk), Monday, 14 March 2005 22:07 (twenty-one years ago)

But that ain't Amy Phillips, J?

― nabisco (nabisco), Monday, 14 March 2005 22:10 (twenty-one years ago)

Ultragrrrl has a touch of the Burchills.

― Dom Passantino (Dom Passantino), Monday, 14 March 2005 22:10 (twenty-one years ago)

Nope, this is Amy Phillips, sitting next to Chuck D.

Dom, what are the Burchills?

Remember, make fun of these girls and you make fun of me, since I don't look that different from them.
