The mongrels enjoy their happy new autumn of internet censorship with __________ and ___________-____________________ and ____________ biscuits

don't know if it is still going though, nor can i remember what it is called! v useful

"Everything on the internet is Brisbane. How fucking depressing."

WTF does he mean by this, even? What a ruddy confusing article. Why is ET writing for Crikey? Does he live in Aus now or something?

he lives in brisbane!!

yeah he's married to some australian or something, unless i'm confusing him with ben folds

That was the worst thing I have ever read in my life.

Folds has moved on to wife #4 and left us behind. ET lived in Melbourne for a few years at the turn of the century, moved back to the UK for the CTCL years, has been in Brisbane for about two years now.

Oh wow right, I had no idea.

I just always had him in my mind from the NME heyday in the early 90s as being a Londoner.

lol speaking of street press and such... Autechre are touring and I cant go, unless i want to have to be in the same room as R and his new beeyotch. Which is pissing me the heck off.

But thats ok, cos someone is trying to organise for me to INTERVIEW them, lololol. That'll learn him to bust my tomater.

he was a melody maker hack tho i thought? or was he at the nme before that

xpost what publication (online or otherwise) are you interviewing them for

hi fi is a pretty big venue though, you could divvy the venue up the guts and stay on your respective sides

jim: if it happens, some projeck that mizz m4lice runs, which tbh I know nothing about but assume is an online zine or something?

And thats IF it happens and I'm not gonna hold out hope but it'd be fun.

congratulation jim for first use of phrase 'up the guts' on ilx

ah ok neato!

xpost hahaha

The Legend! wrote for NME aroud 1985,6-ish, Everett True was only at MM (on staff from 1988 for about 10 years, before Jerry Thackray became editor of sinking ship Vox)

i recall 'vox'

barely

Glossy spin-off of NME that tried to hive off Select's audience.

Yeh I mix MM/NME up all the time, I wasnt sure which it were.

when i got into the british mags ('88 or thereabouts) MM seemed like NME's less cool, lamer little brother

Haha yeah I always thought that too :D

I still have all my 80s mm/nmes but the cat has shredded half of em.

Mine all got recycled when I moved out of my flat in south yarra. i briefly looked into selling them but nobody was interested at all.

Yeah Rare Records used to have boxes of em.

HOW THE FUCK DOES WHINEY GET PRESS IN CRIKEY BEFORE I DO?

SO OOOOOIIIINNNNGGGGRRRYYYY

Then again, it's Everett True writing dis so nobody is ever gonna read it.

I don't sub to Crikey any more but any time they had anything to do with music it was just complete nonsense that got basic facts wrong. Though they once published a letter where I pointed this out, so fair play I guess.

they get lots of things wrong, that's why it's entertaining!

I only read Crikey for the First Dog comix tbqh.

what's cookin peeps

experimentin w/ fingerless gloves in this icebox office

you need a muff

i'm rockin the short sleeves today and everyone is looking at me like i'm insane

iirc ET asks for paypal donations on his blog

Quit believing in me and I no longer exist.

done and done

morelike everett untrue amirite

MM seemed like NME's less cool, lamer little brother

OTM. Though I should add that I do like ET's article about the oz music press.

thanks to that crikey article they are now talking about whiney g on m3ss & n01se

congratulation

lawl

u still in for tonite h-dude

im trippin my nut sack into planning to get there shortly before 9..

You and that saying.

Gonna to to see tik tok tokyo on satdee nite. Been meaning to check them out for fnever. Apparently I'd like them.

for having seen the name around for years i don't think i've even heard one of their songs

Rob said "they sound like bauhaus". I don tthink they do tho. Punkfunk, so i'm guessing closer to pigbag/talking heads/!!! sort of thing?

9 sounds ok to me. gonna hang round here and get some thangs done, hopefully.

Tic Toc Tokyo have changed their name to TTT, presumably because they were too easy to google. My housemate is supporting dem up here next week, tell us if they're any good Trayce.

new day new display name

yessssssssssss

those chr0me kids are more popular than i realised

woo new p00ter

Whatdje end up gettin?

this happy little character (not from that place tho obv)
