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.

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.

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
― tuppence b. bag (roxymuzak), Sunday, 19 April 2009 06:34 (fifteen years ago) link
bbq i associate with two nauseating cities known as memphis and nashville
― tuppence b. bag (roxymuzak), Sunday, 19 April 2009 06:35 (fifteen years ago) link
i mean i love bbq, but i dont consider it a knoxville thing?
omg by the way:

also, i bid on that obama-sunsphere painting but topped out at $25. it went for $70 or something.

james coffey is just a dude. for some reason in the back of my mind i always thought of him as "gypsy mothra." then the other day i saw him at the longbranch and he slaps me on the shoulder and is like "you're the one who writes those ROXY MUZAK blogs!!!!" and i was like wow, this guy is really not gypsy mothra
― tuppence b. bag (roxymuzak), Sunday, 19 April 2009 06:58 (fifteen years ago) link
haha no.
i haven't even been to knoxville in like two years. it's mostly a fantasy place for me. like fantasy baseball except a city.
― would you ask tom petty that? (tipsy mothra), Sunday, 19 April 2009 07:06 (fifteen years ago) link
you mean you pick the people that are in knoxville and bet on what is going to happen there
― tuppence b. bag (roxymuzak), Sunday, 19 April 2009 07:11 (fifteen years ago) link
a little odd but ay
yeah it's something between an adopted hometown and a hobby. some people go birdwatching, i keep a remote eye on knoxville.
― would you ask tom petty that? (tipsy mothra), Sunday, 19 April 2009 07:15 (fifteen years ago) link
so strange!! i think a lot of ex-pats do this, though
half the people on blab arent even knoxvillians anyway
― tuppence b. bag (roxymuzak), Sunday, 19 April 2009 07:21 (fifteen years ago) link
knoxville expats are possessive about the place, for sure. including people like me who weren't even from there to start with. i don't have a clear explanation for that. some kind of murky gravitational pull. but a lot of the people i know who have left have ended up back there eventually. i sort of expect to too.

lol @ the argument upthread about what constitutes vestal
had a remarkably similar argument at the branch last night with two of us trying to explain where candoro marble was over the shoulders of a poor kid who did not care what vestal was/was not and just wanted to kn ow how to get to candoro marble
anyway, that argument ALSO included the sentence "that's the main intersection in vestal!!!!"

xpost i mean, its cause its a great place
I've only been to Knoxville in the past 10+ years for a Tom Waits show...the afternoon prior I bought a pipe at some terrible headshop and then hung out at some park near a bridge on the river? I think I need a return adventure?

― tuppence b. bag (roxymuzak), Sunday, 19 April 2009 08:40 (fifteen years ago) link
just kidding but yes!
its cause its a great place
it is a great place, it's just always a little hard for me to explain why. my associations with it are all so personal that they don't easily translate into anything anyone else could relate to.
