"BRITISH PEOPLE NOW AWARE OF KNOXVILLE"
― Tracer Hand, Wednesday, 28 January 2009 16:15 (fifteen years ago) link
Big haws re: Tracer's headline, and HUGE HAWS that we made it onto that list and the Royal Bangs didn't! Exactly zero bands I voted for made it.
― roxymuzak, Thursday, 29 January 2009 06:55 (fifteen years ago) link
i declined to vote because wtf do i know. i like most of the people on the list, but also some who arent and anyway i probably would have put the everly brothers #1...

Yeah, and for some reason I'm kinda proud that the V-Roys beat Superdrag.

― Tracer Hand, Thursday, 29 January 2009 14:49 (fifteen years ago) link
i had some of the above flyers in my room - i had at least half the smokin dave ones
tryin remember this goth metal band that played at China King, they had a huge black guy named Tauhid as their bass plaer
― Tracer Hand, Thursday, 29 January 2009 14:52 (fifteen years ago) link
Ok, so firstly: huge haws to bands playing at CHINA KING?!
And secondly: I got my apartment today, and it is literally a stone's throw from Chandler's. Chandler's is my neighbor, basically. I am going to be the fattest human alive!

Terry Hill is/was a fuckin' hero, by the way.
― roxymuzak, Friday, 30 January 2009 22:41 (fifteen years ago) link
dude!! China King was ground zero for punk and metal in the mid-to-late 80s - they used to have handwritten signs on the inside saying "no slamdancing"!
the thought that anyone would actually EAT anything there was inconceivable and hilarious to me

Yesterday, at Market Square, a fellow on a unicycle rode by, holding a solved Rubik's Cube, and said to me "I solved it!" (My reply: "Good job!")
Haha...I remember Hypertribe (attending my first club show ever back in '91, when they opened for fIREHOSE)...they were kinda Faith No More-esque but more metal, right?

Oh, and by the way, I had brunch at the bistro today. A++++++

roxymuzak asked "Ernestp, who you is!?"

Hello roxymuzak, reading back on this thread, it looks like we have some mutual friends in the Royal Bangs (although the one I know best, Jason, I believe has left the band.) Congrats on the Metro Pulse ranking...that's awesome!
― ernestp, Sunday, 1 February 2009 15:31 (fifteen years ago) link
is the other blue thing the philippine connection? if not, it's nearby.
i love chilhowee park, it's got that turn-of-the-20th-century vibe. can totally imagine ladies w/parasols and barbershop quartets.

Hey Knoxvillians, where's a good place for me to replenish my beer supply Monday before I leave town?

in knoxville it is called "sour hour" not "happy hour"
― WHO DEY and the blowfish (roxymuzak), Saturday, 4 April 2009 01:49 (fifteen years ago) link
in knoxville in the summer first thursday are an event, as well as first fridays
there is a place in knoxville where the women smoke cigars
xpost actually every thursday
had dinner with a knoxville friend in nyc tonite. she recently decamped to farragut from north knox (for love, which is the only acceptable reason for moving to farragut iirc), and she says all the west knox subdivisions around them are getting hammered by foreclosures. there's one with no actual houses on it, just a big sign announcing "fogginton brambles" or whatever, homes starting at $360,000, and it's just a bare patch of land with a backhoe that's been sitting there lone-sentinel like since september.
the silence of the burbs.
― paper plans (tipsy mothra), Saturday, 4 April 2009 03:02 (fifteen years ago) link
i cant believe i posted about "sour hour"! a knoxville secret, outed!!!
so, i noticed that all the blogs about knoxville are retarded, and if knoxville is going to have a blogging hero it might as well be/should probably be me, so i have decided to butthouse my architecture blog and start a knox blog. i need a name.
― tuppence b. bag (roxymuzak), Sunday, 19 April 2009 04:52 (fifteen years ago) link
That's so weird, I just checked your arch blog today on a whim. Sorry to see it go...even if it was sort of abortive I thought it had promise!
As someone who knows none of the Kville references, I think "Marble City Madman" is the best just as a name but I don't know what it might be borrowing from.
― Doctor Casino, Sunday, 19 April 2009 05:30 (fifteen years ago) link
Doc: Ted Nugent is known as the MOTOR city madman, so it is borrowing from that!
the arch blog, i just cant update it enough for it to be an actual blog. couple that with the fact that i have essentially nothing to say, and its kind of a dumb idea. i dont know. maybe i could manage one update a week.
― tuppence b. bag (roxymuzak), Sunday, 19 April 2009 05:52 (fifteen years ago) link
i vote for tennessee trash!! be aware that this is the name of one of the softball teams that plays once a year at a sekrit location in jacksboro (other teams: the kentucky feelers, the carolina creepers, the virginia culture vultures). i really think you should go this year roxy. it's on memorial day. i'll give you directions. seriously just show up and you will have a wonderful time.

what does butthouse mean?
Also, what about some BBQ-related pun?
― kingfish, Sunday, 19 April 2009 06:31 (fifteen years ago) link
butthouse is like smash something and destroy it, in the style of sitting down hard on a cupcake
