TS: "agreeing" vs. "repeating"

― hstencil (hstencil), Tuesday, 18 May 2004 23:24 (twenty years ago) link

well, when yr in attack mode it's hard to tell the difference sometimes.

― Matos W.K. (M Matos), Tuesday, 18 May 2004 23:24 (twenty years ago) link

omg btw dean some indie bands have non-white people in them omg.

Yeah, you're correct. They have TOKEN non-white people in them!

TS: "attacking" vs. "defending"

― hstencil (hstencil), Tuesday, 18 May 2004 23:26 (twenty years ago) link

har har. not what I was saying at all, if that's where you're going w/this.

― Matos W.K. (M Matos), Tuesday, 18 May 2004 23:26 (twenty years ago) link

xpost--that was to dean.

― Matos W.K. (M Matos), Tuesday, 18 May 2004 23:27 (twenty years ago) link

exactly why more precise language is needed.

― hstencil (hstencil), Tuesday, 18 May 2004 23:28 (twenty years ago) link

I have no freakin' idea who those bands are aside from sightings

i'm booking/promoting w/ todd p. free blood are two members of !!! along with another singer. bass, busted synth, male/female vocals. they sound like sexual harrassment. i haven't heard megaweapon - the zum records guy from sf doing a solo thing.

― lauren (laurenp), Tuesday, 18 May 2004 23:29 (twenty years ago) link

if they sound like Sexual Harrassment my initial point is upended.

― Matos W.K. (M Matos), Tuesday, 18 May 2004 23:30 (twenty years ago) link

that's a completely different show, Matos! WTF?!?

― hstencil (hstencil), Tuesday, 18 May 2004 23:32 (twenty years ago) link

oh, sorry! you're right. I thought you were still on the 5/22 outdoor thing. nevermind then.

― Matos W.K. (M Matos), Tuesday, 18 May 2004 23:33 (twenty years ago) link

like "if i gave you a party," but a bit gigglier.

xpost - yes, but let's just all chill out. anyone want a mike's hard iced tea? i have 3 in the fridge.

― lauren (laurenp), Tuesday, 18 May 2004 23:33 (twenty years ago) link

if they sound like that, Lauren, I really wanna hear it bad.

― Matos W.K. (M Matos), Tuesday, 18 May 2004 23:34 (twenty years ago) link

dude lauren I want some quaaludes.

and serious, about the djing - this bald Polish guy in shorts was all like "I am fifty years old! Thank you for taking me down memory lane! Yes! Planet Rock! You rock, buddy!" when I played "Planet Rock." Tommy's is my new favorite bar.

― hstencil (hstencil), Tuesday, 18 May 2004 23:35 (twenty years ago) link

haha I have percocets and vicodin, hstencil! I just had a root canal, so . . .

― Matos W.K. (M Matos), Tuesday, 18 May 2004 23:36 (twenty years ago) link

they're the tits. i want to put out a single, but !!! are busy kids these days.

xpost - hahahaha! that is RAD!

― lauren (laurenp), Tuesday, 18 May 2004 23:36 (twenty years ago) link

aw fuck let's throw on "Planet Rock" and go down memory lane!

― hstencil (hstencil), Tuesday, 18 May 2004 23:36 (twenty years ago) link

root canals are not quite so rad, I'm afraid. prescription drugs, however . . .

― Matos W.K. (M Matos), Tuesday, 18 May 2004 23:37 (twenty years ago) link

oh fuck sorry, thought you were addressing me. I'll bow out of this now.

― Matos W.K. (M Matos), Tuesday, 18 May 2004 23:37 (twenty years ago) link

y'know the funny thing was (although maybe not surprising) that the only time anybody of the indie persuasion danced last Saturday was when I was playing funk. Nobody danced to rock, or indie stuff, or the techno I played, except for said bald Polish dude in shorts, who high-fived me repeatedly.

― hstencil (hstencil), Tuesday, 18 May 2004 23:38 (twenty years ago) link

Damn. That's some good publicity for this show as far as ILX goes. Russ, you must make sure that future lineups create this much silly animosity. Good work.

― deanomgwtf!!!p%3Fmsgid%3D4581997 (deangulberry), Tuesday, 18 May 2004 23:43 (twenty years ago) link

I listened to the Measles, Mumps, Rubella CD single on Troubleman yesterday at the record store. Probably heard less than half of it, but I wasn't inspired to buy it. Did I miss something?

― Tim Ellison, Tuesday, 18 May 2004 23:43 (twenty years ago) link

it sure as hell got more posts than the one about the show I was djing at. : (

man I really didn't need to see that picture again.

― hstencil (hstencil), Tuesday, 18 May 2004 23:48 (twenty years ago) link

Tim, the MMR song really really had to sneak up on me. My roommate played it constantly for a month as I ignored it, then one day it just clicked. Listening to a clip from it might not have helped either, it's kind of "epic" in the way it builds. I think their vocalist is really great/entertaining - all the non-guitardrumsbass noise on the track is from his voice running through a delay pedal, which is especially cool to watch live.

― Sonny A. (Keiko), Tuesday, 18 May 2004 23:51 (twenty years ago) link

$20 for the percocets

― Russ, Wednesday, 19 May 2004 00:07 (twenty years ago) link

$15 and we have a deal.

― hstencil (hstencil), Wednesday, 19 May 2004 00:08 (twenty years ago) link

haha

― Matos W.K. (M Matos), Wednesday, 19 May 2004 00:08 (twenty years ago) link

Measels Mumps Rubella are a really fantastic live band. Tight, funky, noisy, did I say funky? Post-punk funk? I suppose so. Speaking of, Gabe Andruzzi and I will be DJing the Tommy's show. I'll bring Planet Rock for you Joel. This past friday after everyone left the party I was DJing I did a whole electro/bass megamix, something like 20 records in 3 minutes, starting with Planet Rock. Maybe I'll do that again in between bands.

― Dan Selzer (Dan Selzer), Wednesday, 19 May 2004 00:23 (twenty years ago) link

dan, you will not do that.

― lauren (laurenp), Wednesday, 19 May 2004 00:24 (twenty years ago) link

: ( dang I was hoping I'd be asked. Oh well.

― hstencil (hstencil), Wednesday, 19 May 2004 00:29 (twenty years ago) link

joel, you know i looooooooove you and your hott records. we're just switching things a bit.

― lauren (laurenp), Wednesday, 19 May 2004 00:30 (twenty years ago) link

now go talk about soy bombs or whatever and stop complaining.

― lauren (laurenp), Wednesday, 19 May 2004 00:31 (twenty years ago) link

hahaha I'm in guilt-trip-lauren mode. And that freakin' Dan Selzer dude djs EVERY weekend. Doesn't he ever get tired?

(of course jus' kiddin' Dan. I was really psyched that you came by on Saturday.)

― hstencil (hstencil), Wednesday, 19 May 2004 00:33 (twenty years ago) link

Measels Mumps Rubella are indeed a fantastic live band. I saw them open for Matthew Dear a few months back, and well, Matthew should have opened for them. He was boooooring compared to them.

Russ, do you have any additional outdoor shows scheduled for July or August?

― Jeff Sumner (Jeff Sumner), Wednesday, 19 May 2004 00:33 (twenty years ago) link

Jeff - Ted Leo, The Natural History, and others tbc are playing on July 24th

to give credit where credit is due - Todd Patrick curated the 5/22 show, I curated the 6/26 show, and ERMP as a whole is working on 7/24.

― Russ, Wednesday, 19 May 2004 00:40 (twenty years ago) link

You should print out this thread for Todd. He'll be pleased.

― deanomgwtf!!!p%3Fmsgid%3D4581997 (deangulberry), Wednesday, 19 May 2004 00:46 (twenty years ago) link

I already sent Todd a link.

I think it's a cool line-up.
I've only seen 2 of these bands before (and I liked them), but I've been wanting to see the others...

― Russ, Wednesday, 19 May 2004 01:02 (twenty years ago) link

Measles Mumps Rubella are fantastic if you've never heard circa 1981 punk-funk. If you have, then they are still entertaining but not exactly "fantastic." And old curmudgeon me does like some new punk-funk...

I'm with Matos on wanting to see an eclectic bill with more than 1 funk act.

― Steve Kiviat (Steve K), Wednesday, 19 May 2004 02:20 (twenty years ago) link

Bravo to schizo bills - Russ. Most shows 'round town you *know* why so-and-so is opening for so-and-so, right? Seeing old NY Rocker papers used to blow my mind, like 1980 ads for the Feelies with Sun Ra and DNA together. I wondered if people moaned about the token jazz.

The SB are gonna open for the Tubes at BB King's, right?

― Brian Turner (btwfmu), Wednesday, 19 May 2004 02:48 (twenty years ago) link

haha "schizo"

― Matos W.K. (M Matos), Wednesday, 19 May 2004 03:01 (twenty years ago) link

wait, steve, did I say they were a fantastic live band? That must've been a type because I've definately heard 1981 punk-funk. I've heard it so much I have 2 copies of Medium Medium's The Glitterhouse.

And Lauren. I will indeed play said set. Trust me, you'd rather I do it between bands when everyone is outside smoking then after bands when you're hoping people will stick around and dance or something like that. It's good and fun and involves JJ Fad and the Unknown DJ, good times for all.

― Dan Selzer (Dan Selzer), Wednesday, 19 May 2004 04:50 (twenty years ago) link

that's "typo".

I made a typo spelling the word typo.

― Dan Selzer (Dan Selzer), Wednesday, 19 May 2004 04:52 (twenty years ago) link

dude Dan be prepared for multiple high-fives from the "Planet Rock" guy.

― QUOTATIONS FROM SMARTY JONES (hstencil), Wednesday, 19 May 2004 04:56 (twenty years ago) link

I'll tell him I can't high-five him because I'm too busy speed-beatmatching and cutting.

― Dan Selzer (Dan Selzer), Wednesday, 19 May 2004 04:59 (twenty years ago) link

dude I think you just hate the Poles.

― QUOTATIONS FROM A PLANET ROCK FAN (hstencil), Wednesday, 19 May 2004 05:05 (twenty years ago) link

you kidding? you should've seen me in Krakow! I fell in love 1,000 times. I'm part polish as well.

― Dan Selzer (Dan Selzer), Wednesday, 19 May 2004 05:11 (twenty years ago) link

we'll see how well you handle the token Pole in a room full of indie rockers.

your working for Flavorpill has totally kept me from unsubscribing, btw. I think there's one or two other editors who write good stuff, but mostly, not stuff I'm that interested in...
