Okay, scott, dude, what the fuck.

On the ILE Thread http://ilx.p3r.net/thread.php?msgid=3594959 you state:

i'm willing to lose any and all cyber-respect that anyone may or may not have for me by simply stating that i have a crush on bobby flay. i think he's cute. and obnoxious. i have felt this way ever since his immortal show with the most obnoxious restaurant owner in all of philadelphia, jack mcdavid(um, that would have been chillin' and grillin' with bobby flay and jack mcdavid) but then i also have a crush on whatsherface-the british babe who licks her fingers all the time. so go ahead, sue me.

-- scott seward (skotro...), June 6th, 2003 4:04 AM.

Do you still feel this way? Bobby Flay is clearly a dangerous man.

― Ian John50n (orion), Tuesday, 22 February 2005 23:50 (twenty-one years ago)

he's creepy, isn't he? i just saw him on a reality show where you have to be the best martha stewart-style home designer/hostess on earth. i think i admired bobby's certainty that propane was the way to go on the chillin' & grillin' show. that was the only show i ever saw him on. i never saw his solo show or his appearances on the american iron chef showdowns. he kinda grosses me out now. i liked his accent. as a chef, i have much more respect for mario batali. and, it goes without saying, i still want to lick the egg yolk off of nigella's fingers. raaawwwwrr. i think i just wanted to be the only one on that thread who had anything good to say about him.i really don't get people's likes and dislikes on ILE. They are weird. I was like the only person who would stick up for Mad T.V. on there. They can be kinda snooty about comedy (and movies too.) and, yeah, watching that reality show the other night made me realize that if you knew -or worse, had to WORK for - someone like bobby flay you would want to die and kill them all at once.

"as a chef, i have much more respect for mario batali."

Um, i'm not a chef. i have more respect for a chef like mario batali. or that weirdo wylie dufresne.

― scott seward (scott seward), Wednesday, 23 February 2005 00:06 (twenty-one years ago)

My favorite food network personalities are probably Alton Brown and Iron Chef Sakai. I really like Mario Batali too, but I haven't seen his show in a long time. I despise Flay, clearly. Mark Summers's show can be interesting sometimes, but is mostly boring and he's not a very interesting guy to watch. I just remember him asking Double Dare questions. Rachel Ray is kind've irritating but sometimes she makes yummy things or goes somewhere neat (see upthread.)

― Ian John50n (orion), Wednesday, 23 February 2005 00:13 (twenty-one years ago)

you know though, for real, on chillin' & grillin' he wasn't that despicable. that was when the food network was just starting out. they hadn't made all their stars yet. and bobby was just a big-shot chef in new york. nobody knew who he was. plus, he was paired with the even more despicable Jack McDavid who came off like a witless hee-haw reject. i think he bacame more gross as time went on. or showed more of his true grossness as time went on. and the zenith of that grossness is Rocco and The Restaurant. (which was highly entertaining.)

― scott seward (scott seward), Wednesday, 23 February 2005 00:56 (twenty-one years ago)

I haven't really watched the food network in years. i kinda wish i had seen some of those extreme cuisine shows with Anthony Bourdain. I really liked Kitchen Confidential.

― scott seward (scott seward), Wednesday, 23 February 2005 00:58 (twenty-one years ago)

the 2nd cosmic michael lp is on ebay for $99! the first one is the one to get though

― ilkley lido (gareth), Thursday, 24 February 2005 16:12 (twenty-one years ago)

I don't have 99 dollars anyway. Hi, Gareth!

― scott seward (scott seward), Thursday, 24 February 2005 16:32 (twenty-one years ago)

neither do i.

well, ok, i do, but not to spend on a record

― ilkley lido (gareth), Thursday, 24 February 2005 16:41 (twenty-one years ago)

scooter,

have you heard of The Speakers? Columbian psych group from 68. the record is wacked. sounds like mutantes, with worse song writing but crazier effects. tons of fuzz & echo.

toodles,
j

― LaToya JaXoN (JasonD), Thursday, 24 February 2005 18:05 (twenty-one years ago)

No, I haven't! But that only makes them the 595938382992922,9292842444444422 latin american psych band that i haven't heard. i mean, the originals are rarer than a pair of panties on paris hilton and when they show up they cost zillions of dollars and when someone puts out a boot or a reissue they end up coming from Japan and they STILL cost an arm and a peking duck leg. so, i end up not hearing a lot. when will sundazed start their sundazed espanol imprint already!! or if rhino would like to put out a latin nuggets box, i would be up for that too. it's a crying shame i tell you.

― scott seward (scott seward), Thursday, 24 February 2005 18:38 (twenty-one years ago)

check yr email yo!

― LaToya JaXoN (JasonD), Thursday, 24 February 2005 19:25 (twenty-one years ago)

Great album title: La Conferencia Secreta del Toto's Bar by los Shakers. That's one I'd like to hear.

― Tim Ellison (Tim Ellison), Thursday, 24 February 2005 19:37 (twenty-one years ago)

Bobby Flay just got married. the announcement was in the NYTimes last Sunday. His wife looks 15.

― hstencil (hstencil), Thursday, 24 February 2005 20:31 (twenty-one years ago)

I was just listening to Aguaturbia last weekend. Freakin' awesome. I was considering a track of theirs for that ILMiX project but I didn't use it.

― Stormy Davis (diamond), Thursday, 24 February 2005 21:25 (twenty-one years ago)

mystic siva is no good!

― ilkley lido (gareth), Sunday, 27 February 2005 08:59 (twenty-one years ago)

agauturbia is the psychedelic drugstore record ? ive never liked that much really. in fact, the mystic siva record reminds me of it, a little

i would like to hear turn of the century, i think they are ranwood related

― charltonlido (gareth), Friday, 4 March 2005 19:29 (twenty-one years ago)

do you like Le Cirque - Land of Oz, on buddah?

how about laurent garniers man with the red face?

― charltonlido (gareth), Friday, 11 March 2005 07:13 (twenty-one years ago)

Scott,

Are there pictures of your celebrity paintings on the internets?

Tim

― Tim Ellison (Tim Ellison), Friday, 11 March 2005 07:17 (twenty-one years ago)

scott do you know what that horn sample in j-lo's 'get right is from'?

― unknown or illegal user (doorag), Friday, 11 March 2005 14:41 (twenty-one years ago)

'get right' is from

― unknown or illegal user (doorag), Friday, 11 March 2005 14:42 (twenty-one years ago)

maceo parker/jb's - soulpower 74

― scott seward (scott seward), Friday, 11 March 2005 15:16 (twenty-one years ago)

no, tim. not right now. i'm thinking of selling some on ebay though.

― scott seward (scott seward), Friday, 11 March 2005 15:21 (twenty-one years ago)

scott,

do you prefer charles fox or hal hester?

― charltonido (gareth), Sunday, 20 March 2005 11:00 (twenty-one years ago)

i had to google these people. charles fox the t.v./film composer? i don't think i have much of an opinion. i do own a copy of hal hester's Your Own Thing soundtrack and i've always felt it was pretty horrible. i think i've only been able to find one song to put on mix-tapes in the past. i also think the privilege soundtrack is pretty horrible. not that they are the same thing, but i felt like going on record about that.

― scott seward (scott seward), Sunday, 20 March 2005 12:50 (twenty-one years ago)

yea, that charles fox. im not sure i have an opinion either, i need to hear more. i havent heard hal hester, but a friend was talking of him the other day

i really want to get the stu phillips soundtrack to Follow Me, that looks crazy great

― charltonlido (gareth), Sunday, 20 March 2005 13:03 (twenty-one years ago)

did you know, there has never been a thread on stu phillips! i guess his book title, "stu who?" tells its own story...

― charltonlido (gareth), Sunday, 20 March 2005 13:04 (twenty-one years ago)

Hi dere Scott, could you recommend some Sun City Girls releases? I'd just jump in and buy whatever I find at the record store, but that stuff is expen$$$ive down here in Melbourne.

― 'haitch' (haitch), Sunday, 20 March 2005 13:31 (twenty-one years ago)

gareth, do you own a copy of *awakening* by the mystic moods? it's before they got all goopy with groovy cover versions. or maybe it was after. it came out in 1973. i love that record. one of the most amazing breakbeats on earth on it, but the vinyl goes for chump change. it's like a way more fun and dancier and funnier moody blues or something. someone should reissue it. plus, it's a cosmic concept album.

― scott seward (scott seward), Sunday, 20 March 2005 13:35 (twenty-one years ago)

sun city girls! hmmm, you might wanna go to the source for those. they sell cds on their website. and they had different "periods". i like almost all of it. a good place to start might be *torch of the mystics*. if you like that, then proceed forward.

― scott seward (scott seward), Sunday, 20 March 2005 13:39 (twenty-one years ago)

mystic moods? no, were they on ranwood?

im seriously considering blowing a large amount of cash on this Moggi record, on omicron, from 1971 italy. i just cant afford, but i love eurospacefunkelettronixx

― charltonlido (gareth), Sunday, 20 March 2005 13:43 (twenty-one years ago)

they are selling bright surroundings, dark beginnings on their website for 10 dollars american. i would go for thar too. another good starting point:

http://www.suncitygirls.com/catalog/product/54/

― scott seward (scott seward), Sunday, 20 March 2005 13:43 (twenty-one years ago)

and any of the carnival folklore resurrection series is good if you can find them for a reasonable price. too bad box of chameleons is so expensive. that's a great set.

― scott seward (scott seward), Sunday, 20 March 2005 13:45 (twenty-one years ago)

the stuff NOT to start with is stuff like horse cock phepner and dante's disneyland inferno and the like (which i love but you know they are wacky and stuff).

― scott seward (scott seward), Sunday, 20 March 2005 13:48 (twenty-one years ago)

dantes is great -- the Goocher led "folk" album.

― jack cole (jackcole), Sunday, 20 March 2005 23:15 (twenty-one years ago)

does mr scott seward like Alva?

and, moe importantly, does mr scott seward like squirrel and g-man yet?

― charltonlido (gareth), Monday, 21 March 2005 01:19 (twenty-one years ago)

are those ilx posters, gareth? g-man knows a lot about horror movies and squirrel is always posting on cherry red/factory threads and alva is sooooo over quentin tarantino, right?

more importantly, DO YOU own the boyce & hart album where they cover jumpin' jack flash? godilovedthatalbum godilovethatalbum "it's all happening on the inside!" a tour de force.

― scott seward (scott seward), Monday, 21 March 2005 03:47 (twenty-one years ago)

two months pass...

Daerest Scott,

Is there anything better than the Pet Shop Boys?

― Tim Ellison (Tim Ellison), Wednesday, 15 June 2005 16:36 (twenty-one years ago)

Dear Scott,

BUY A MELVINS RECORD. BULLHEAD IS MY PERS. FAV.

Later.

― ddb (ddb), Wednesday, 15 June 2005 16:42 (twenty-one years ago)

Dear Tim:

Though I am not Scott, the answer is obviously "NO" -- or so I have been told repeatedly. I've learned that listening to music is much like Schrodinger's Cat, all possibilities collapsed together, all music both brilliant and shit at the same time and thus holding no value whatsoever since none can ever be determined.

Hugs,
Leonard Thompson,
lt but not LT

― Leonard Thompson (Grodd), Wednesday, 15 June 2005 16:49 (twenty-one years ago)

daer scott:

how is cyrus?
are he and rufus getting along?

one love,
IJ

― Ian John50n (orion), Wednesday, 15 June 2005 17:23 (twenty-one years ago)

Tim, yes! But I must say, I love the Pet Shop Boys! Seriously. That one best-of that ends with the song "DJ Culture" is hot thru & thru. Not a bad track on it. And their later stuff is great as well. I could see someone thinking, while listening to pet shop boys, "my, it doesn't get much better than this, does it!?" But, since I'm not listening to the Pet Shop Boys at the moment, here are some things that I think are better than the Pet Shop Boys:

Paul Revere & The Raiders
Entombed
Eyehategod
Eric Dolphy
Sun City Girls
Jungle Brothers
Mandrake Memorial
The Ravens
Swans
The Sonics
SSD
Antiseen
Lee Morgan
Cerrone
Bohannon

― scott seward (scott seward), Wednesday, 15 June 2005 20:25 (twenty-one years ago)

I only have that first Mandrake Memorial album and I'm not into it so much. A little mopey.

― Tim Ellison (Tim Ellison), Wednesday, 15 June 2005 20:33 (twenty-one years ago)

Ian, cyrus is kool. he cries and stuff like a baby. he's funny looking. rufus is cool, except he threw a block at me today and it gave me a big welt over my eye. definitely uncool. i locked him in the basement for the rest of the day. that'll learn him.

ddb, i will someday, if i see one cheap. i had one once! but i traded it in before i listened to it.

― scott seward (scott seward), Wednesday, 15 June 2005 20:38 (twenty-one years ago)

do you say, "Cyrus, STOP CRYING LIKE A BABY!@!!"

i love bohannon and cerrone. i picked up a turkish psych reissue (3 Hur-El) and it sounds like a middle eastern bohannon on a few tracks (oh yeah, and some weird swedish prog record i forget the name of where they pull out the bohannon thump too).

― [that bastard] jaxon (jaxon), Wednesday, 15 June 2005 20:46 (twenty-one years ago)

JAXON, how cum yoo never told me to buy any weldon irvine albums!!??? i bought three yesterday and they iz hot!!

― scott seward (scott seward), Wednesday, 15 June 2005 20:55 (twenty-one years ago)

tim - my love for mandrake memorial is a little unreal. it goes beyond love and comes in contact with the infinite.

― scott seward (scott seward), Wednesday, 15 June 2005 21:00 (twenty-one years ago)

scott, i never heard any. i was actually thinking of starting an ILM thread on him JUST TODAY!!!

i'm weary of starting threads because i'm afraid they'll get lost 4 EVA

― [that bastard] jaxon (jaxon), Wednesday, 15 June 2005 21:13 (twenty-one years ago)

the only song of his i think i've ever heard was "We Gettin' Down" because it's on the Tribe Vibes (the Tribe Called Quest Samples)

― [that bastard] jaxon (jaxon), Wednesday, 15 June 2005 21:16 (twenty-one years ago)

they are funky and out there and in there and he makes really cool synth/keyboard noizes. i got: cosmic vortex(justice divine), sinbad, and spirit man. nice vinyl reissues for cheap. you will dig them muchly.
