set phasers to stan (cozwn), Thursday, 22 January 2009 00:54 (fifteen years ago) link

i like this thread but i don't like the idea that attaching myself to something as family implies that i'm going to lock my girlfriend in my trunk

Tracer Hand, Thursday, 22 January 2009 01:00 (fifteen years ago) link

i dont know that i would really kill my girlfriend over my borges standom but im not going to make any promises at this point

8====D ------ ㋡ (max), Thursday, 22 January 2009 01:01 (fifteen years ago) link

me not being able to fathom why anyone would be put in a situation where they have to defend borges probably means I am a huge borg stan

cool app (uh oh I'm having a fantasy), Thursday, 22 January 2009 01:03 (fifteen years ago) link

a key sign of standom is complete and total shock that anyone could dislike the object of your standom

hmmmm...better throw Jack Kirby on the pile, then.

i like all these shits... i mean im totally with you on borges max, i even tracked down his house in BsAs when i was there... but for some reason i cant commit myself to any real stanistans. maybe i'm too fickle, tastes change too much or something?

Nice one, and this means you are the person I was probably thinking about when posting on the greatness of "Big Deal on Madonna Street" this morning. Or last night. Or whatever.

i actually was an eminem stan. but it faded. (still will stan for the first 3 records, but i guess conditional stanning isn't stanning at all.)

re: jlb the collected fictions book is not a very good translation imo. i got more out of the di giovanni translations which are pretty easy to find in smaller collections like labyrinths, fictions/ficciones, etc.

oh shit Miles Davis obviously

o yeah i would say mingus and miles davis, also funkadelic, fleetwood mac - i have spent a good deal of time defending these to a number of people i know whose tastes dont move past 1969.

Big Stan is a comedy film directed by and starring Rob Schneider. Although released in some overseas markets during the fall of 2008, it is slated for U.S. release in early 2009. On the radio show Loveline, Schneider stated that this film will be an "anti-man raping" film — referring to prison rape.

velko, Thursday, 22 January 2009 01:47 (fifteen years ago) link

So it's not about raping anti-men? Because I was confused.

Barack History Month (Oilyrags), Thursday, 22 January 2009 01:48 (fifteen years ago) link

woody allen very much seconded. Also Orson Welles, but I don't feel like there's anything unreasonable about being endlessly fascinated by him.

Also, Brian Eno.

mose def (kenan), Thursday, 22 January 2009 02:35 (fifteen years ago) link

Probably Nick Cave.

mose def (kenan), Thursday, 22 January 2009 02:35 (fifteen years ago) link

I am a stan of myself - I mean I try to defend myself about little grievances that would normally make me depressed. I apologized out of the blue to some girl I found on the internet (on accident though) for crashing her party (etc..) a few years back. she replied that I was an asshole. I wrote back that I am sorry for my past self and 'good luck on your career'. after she called me an asshole I felt pretty bad. but defending myself made me feel better. and hearing a story about a friend who would fake make out with chicks as part of his stage antics made me feel better to.

Jack Kerouac

and Off-kilter music.

Oh! I know my real, ultimate answer: David Byrne. (It's hard to think of things at first.) Fits the definition as I understand it perfectly -- he's very good, but not as great as I often think he it, and not as clever as he often thinks he is. But god help me, I love everything he does.

mose def (kenan), Thursday, 22 January 2009 03:59 (fifteen years ago) link

Man, I love me most all the TH there is, but some of those solo albums are tough going. Like the one with Snoopy on the cover sitting on a celestial throne.

Barack History Month (Oilyrags), Thursday, 22 January 2009 04:03 (fifteen years ago) link

Mariah Carey, Kate Bush, the Deal sisters, Kristin Hersh

That's "Uh-Oh." You know, like, uh-oh, god turns out to be a puppy. See, not as clever as he thinks. I don't mind the album at all, though.

mose def (kenan), Thursday, 22 January 2009 04:19 (fifteen years ago) link

yeah, I got the god/dog thing. It's been years since I heard it - maybe I'd like it better now.

It's very late-Heads, actually.
