Then there was ET's comment on a Tangents journal entry about you as well, Taylor -- presumably that just fits in to what you were talking about vis-a-vis That There Indie World. But Dickon Edwards says nice things about you, which reminds me that I need to get those interview questions to him.

I don't think I ever properly answered the main question this thread posed -- seems to me he's just talking about things as they happen, and he has the chance to go to a lot of spots I don't have the chance to and reflect on the results. It makes for a good experience. And I was listening to him for moons before starting to chat with him every so often, and now he's here. Way cool, mang.

What aging soap stars are on the Japanese indie circuit?

Oh, they're all here. Dithery Dot and Dirty Den play 'zero memory sampler' and 'no input mixer' in a band called Kabuki Alzheimer. Babs Windsor does a 'frozen statuette' act to the sound of Gilbert and George's 'Underneath The Arches' every Tuesday night at the Nadiff Art Cafe. And Colin from Crossroads plays wheelchair theremin in Boredoms spin-off OOIOO -- he just twitches and the wheelchair sings.

What if it's all a scam and he's in Scunthorpe? Rumbled! On with the masque!

As a resident of what, were I North American, I would call the boonies, I sort of know how Anthony feels.

I think I was totally foolish to hero-worship Momus the way I did. But then the same applies to a lot of people I've looked up to. I work hard and concentrate on the work these days, not like back then.

― Robin Carmody, Monday, 21 May 2001 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

hooray! i knew momus would like that jibe.

: - )

I used to have sex to Momus.

Just popped in my head that insult and had to use it!

― doompatrol23@hotmail.com, Monday, 21 May 2001 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

you know i used to like that comic 'doom patrol' and you're starting to give it a bad name.

MOmus is just in Japan for the Bikkle and Pocari Sweat.

― Mike Hanley, Monday, 21 May 2001 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

i hate to bring up another comic book, but remember that issue of akiko about pocari sweat? that was awesome.

― ethan, Monday, 21 May 2001 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

hahahaa....can I really take someone seriously named ethan padgett??

answer: no.

― doompatrol23@hotmail.com, Tuesday, 22 May 2001 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

I'd be insulted if I heard Paul was having sex to my record, or just plain flabbergasted someone so nasty to the people posting here managed to find a partner in the first place. Or maybe not. It could have been a solo mission. What song was it, sweetie?

― suzy, Tuesday, 22 May 2001 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

HAHAHAAH!!!

: - )

I like being insulted as well (is that a hint??? weell...no.....maybe....)

Ummm...believe it was "tender pervert" "the angels are voyeur"...on cassette, nonetheeless!!!!!!

No......

Not cassingle but CASSETTE. Purchased in a help the aged. Sounded like if Felt had written porn for seniors.

errr...of course it was the 23 minutes long remix by the orb and not the three minute version.........honest! *giving honest joe face*

Momus: >Why, even the NME's gone all nicey nicey...

This week's NME has half a page of phone sex adverts. Real ones. Is that what you meant, Nick? One of them says "MANDY - 30 SECS 'TIL U SMILE." Presumably a Labour campaign line for the Hartlepool area?

Oh, everyone's gone.

Yours, a sophisticated dandy warhol.

― Dickon Edwards, Wednesday, 23 May 2001 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

I am confused - Momus was your "sophisticated Dandy" and you were put off by the fact that he name drops about Tokyo and being snotty about New York?

― Dave M., Thursday, 24 May 2001 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

Hee hee. Sophisticated dandy ...that makes it sound liek he is some kind of sugar daddy and you are a twink or something. Like he is the candy man of your own private Canada "WHo can take your stereo fill it full of sperm insult you to your face and expose his Scottish worm The Dandy Man cAn then dany man can cause hes Momus and he just came into your ear"

― Mike Hanley, Thursday, 24 May 2001 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

To think of Mandelson and Scargill - two of the most contemptible men in Britain - actually opposing each other. Any Hartlepudlians reading this: VOTE LIB DEM.

Ahem. The phone sex stuff the lowest ebb in the NME yet, surely?

― Robin Carmody, Thursday, 24 May 2001 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

Has the NME ever had a high ebb?

― Mike Hanley, Thursday, 24 May 2001 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

Well, it's been better.

I saw MOMUS live at The Mercury Lounge during the Little Red Songbook tour with TOOG and Kahimi Karie. I wrote a review.. He's brilliant!

It's time to give Momus some big props.

Don't ask me, I don't even know who Momus is, mate.

I like my line in this thread about 'cycling past on his orange opinions'. Especially when Alan McGee -- Mr Orange Opinions himself -- then cycles briefly through the thread!

― Momus (Momus), Sunday, 19 October 2003 23:23 (twenty years ago) link

do you think that was actually him though?

― the surface noise (electricsound), Sunday, 19 October 2003 23:25 (twenty years ago) link

I like it when you talk about jacking off to Gillespie and Reid.

Momus, I just saw your nemesis "Harry K-Tel" as I was coming in to work this morning. I think he was coming out of some fancy Tribeca hotel/residence, but other than that I didn't gather enough information for an actual anecdote.

― Ken L (Ken L), Friday, 7 January 2005 13:56 (nineteen years ago) link

Nick, sorry to use this as my personal Make Random Comments to Momus in Hope of a Response but I just saw that photo on ILB on the clipboard thread. Are you working on a Moondog project now? Momus Moondog Matinee?

― Ken L (Ken L), Friday, 7 January 2005 16:21 (nineteen years ago) link

I've never actually read through this before. This time I did it and came across one of those rare Dickon Edwards posts. Remember when Momus and Dickon were real people?

― Atnevon (Atnevon), Friday, 7 January 2005 23:17 (nineteen years ago) link

Is there any particular reason why this was posted here? Is there any particular reason that I shouldn't delete this?

― Pashmina (Pashmina), Saturday, 8 January 2005 12:40 (nineteen years ago) link

Please delete, Norm.

Not at all! These artifacts have historical value.

Above or below 14th street, either way it's pretty fucking pathetic. NY is 2 miles, dude. Siberia is on 40-somethingth street, for instance. I hang out mostly on the southern west side in my spare time, but if I actually took the time to tell people that as if it was something worthwhile of noting, I would know I was a fucking dick with no penis or incredible mental problems if indeed I was blessed with a large cock.

― Triple Ho, Sunday, 9 January 2005 05:53 (nineteen years ago) link

I want to point out I'm drunk and not serious.

― Triple Ho, Sunday, 9 January 2005 06:00 (nineteen years ago) link

the momus records ping pong, 20 vodka jellies and little red songbook are good. they are like the holy trinity of momus.

Come, Pashmina, with your deleting sword, your hour is again at hand. This is anti-semitic and publishes people's phone numbers. Get it off my thread!

Momus should I read A Thousand Plateaus? Please state why or why not in one hundred words or less. Thanks.

I’m discovering some personal stuff about him in the blog that isn’t so cool also.

Not trying to avoid that reality. I feel like momus is cancelled here already so discussing the music should be ok

I'm unable to watch his series of Open University videos because he has this possibly unconscious click in his speech which really triggers my misophonia.
