rumor has it... (again this is just conjecture) that they will have their hands on him again.

for the next week or so, when not playing east coast shows with the rapture, owen can be found at my house. last night we watched the simple life and the o.c., then ate too much greasy chinese food. we also went through a pack of cigarettes and argued about who smoked more. the end.

― lauren (laurenp), Friday, 5 December 2003 00:37 (twenty years ago) link

That's funny, because Brian Eno is sleeping on our couch at the moment. He rents a lot of Jaques Tati movies and holds up cards with pictures of food on them when he wants a bite to eat.

A couple nights ago I woke up with my arms around my plush domokun. I had thai take-out box on the floor next to me. The stereo was playing "by your side".

― @d@ml (nordicskilla), Wednesday, 24 March 2004 20:00 (twenty years ago) link

"the australian belle and sebastian" (nb: i have not heard a note of their music but just look at that photo).

― gygax! (gygax!), Wednesday, 24 March 2004 20:17 (twenty years ago) link

They look like Britishers. Except for Aphex Twin in the middle there.

― @d@ml (nordicskilla), Wednesday, 24 March 2004 20:25 (twenty years ago) link

the token hippy. he's their supplier.

― gygax! (gygax!), Wednesday, 24 March 2004 20:29 (twenty years ago) link

but yeah, look me up if you're around, i'll be there with you know who.

― gygax! (gygax!), Wednesday, 24 March 2004 20:31 (twenty years ago) link

Aphex Twin?

― Ronan (Ronan), Wednesday, 24 March 2004 20:32 (twenty years ago) link

haha or squarepusher.

― gygax! (gygax!), Wednesday, 24 March 2004 20:33 (twenty years ago) link

okay, that's kinda an inside joke, i used to think that squarepusher was an alias for afx based on this picture hiromix took of the 2 of them

http://images.google.com/images?q=tbn:cTpAlsoW_LsJ:www.squarepusher.com/imgs/pics/sqp_aphex1.jpg

in which they look very very similar.

― gygax! (gygax!), Wednesday, 24 March 2004 20:38 (twenty years ago) link

I would actually really like to go to this, but I have a class until 9:30-10:00 in berkeley. Hmmmm...more likely I will see you at another engagement.

― @d@ml (nordicskilla), Wednesday, 24 March 2004 20:46 (twenty years ago) link

I imagine the lovely evenings they have together.

― Ronan (Ronan), Wednesday, 24 March 2004 20:49 (twenty years ago) link

― gygax! (gygax!), Thursday, 6 May 2004 16:38 (nineteen years ago) link

The Shimmer Kids?

― @d@ml (nordicskilla), Thursday, 6 May 2004 16:41 (nineteen years ago) link

didnt they change their name? what is it now? yo shakey!

― jack cole (jackcole), Thursday, 6 May 2004 16:42 (nineteen years ago) link

They are known as The Society Of Rockets (also the title of an old Shimmer Kids song) which I'd imagine is an homage to local street philosopher Frank Chiu:

[note: the former galia club is now known as "12 Galaxies", Shakey Mo you should play there]

-- phoenix (ktw_03...), May 24th, 2004 7:53 PM.

here's my take:

Back in town
With blown-out lungs, and shot eardrums
And misplaced kisses
And someone who misses
Who misses me in Kansas

The second I got out of the van
I saw you giving your cash to the doorman
I saw the X on your hand
And I knew you were the one
I knew you'd understand, but oh...

I wish we could have talked all night
We had to be in Illinois by daylight
And what I wouldn't give to be your man
But I can't break up the band

And Jeane, there must be more than letters and phone calls
So say "I'll come see Maine when the snow falls"
...
Just say "I'll come see Maine when the snow falls"

There's kissing in Kansas, but that's not home
And we sigh when we're on the phone
But the voice in my ear
Says "It wouldn't be the same if you moved here"

But it's just miles
It's only miles
It's just miles
And miles and miles and miles and miles and miles...
