I have no crush of shame but my family tries to make it sound like I do. "Oh you just want to see that because it has Juuuuuude Laaaaaw in it," in very disdainful ridiculing voices - well so what if it's the truth!

Yes. Though thankfully the Jules thing seems to be fading. A brief burst of madness perhaps. (And then I see a photo of him making that particularly pathetic puppy-in-the-rain face and I go all gooey again.)

I'm doing quite well in the "no crushes" department. I haven't even been back to the Arse Cafe to check on the state of Pliny's asslessness as he sets up microphones. But the more crush-free I become, the more depressed I become. But this is good, as I spend more time in my room coming up with drone-cyclical guitar riffs and less time staring gooily at dirty dronerock boys.

"Backstage" is way overrated. Most of them smell funny. And they all have crap grafitti. And would it kill them to have decent mirrors and decent lights? We always end up changing in the ladies toilets.

Kinda takes the thrill of groupie away... you go to venues and you're relieved you *don't* have to go backstage.

I do have to say that I kinda like Dogchicken there, though...

― kate, Sunday, 19 January 2003 22:23 (twenty-three years ago)

Jules reminds me of someone in that B&W photo, and I can't quite put my finger on who... Don't know if it's someone famous or someone I used to know, though.

Matos: what's to be ashamed of? It's sadly ironic that new Winona (klepto-mentalist who appears in staggeringly awful movies) is much cuter than old Winona (intellectual goth-girl of Heathers and Beetlejuice). The universe is cruel, sometimes.

― Justyn Dillingham (Justyn Dillingham), Tuesday, 21 January 2003 06:32 (twenty-three years ago)

not merely cuter, hotter. partly because before she exuded a certain innocent naivete (boring) and now she seems much more deliberately manipulative (oh my fucking god yes). the whole "she dates every rock star who gets big" thing is part of it, too: she's been around the block and is completely shameless about it. uh, YEAH.

AWK once had a spread in Blender magazine about how to gain weight/bulk up! He's changed a look in a lot of ways in the past 3 years or so...sometimes in ways that give me...feelings. Feelings I'm not sure I want?

― breaking that little dog's heart chakra (Abbott), Wednesday, 2 June 2010 18:37 (sixteen years ago)

Only one of those pics displays for me (the top one) but it is enough to communicate the disturbing and heretofore unknown information that I might want to fuck Andrew WK.

― Eighteen straight. I think that's a record. (kenan), Wednesday, 2 June 2010 18:59 (sixteen years ago)

― breaking that little dog's heart chakra (Abbott), Wednesday, 2 June 2010 19:02 (sixteen years ago)

Thankfully I can just look at that picture of Cunningham in the fuzzy bathrobe with the shameful facial hair, like he's some kind of awful gnome you might find in your hotel bed, and run screaming from the room and possibly file a lawsuit, and all my urges to do anything to anyone subside.

― Eighteen straight. I think that's a record. (kenan), Wednesday, 2 June 2010 19:03 (sixteen years ago)

AWK can be really really hot. And really not. It's so odd. Always pretty awesome though.

― Aqua Backrat (ENBB), Wednesday, 2 June 2010 19:05 (sixteen years ago)

He looks like Jimmy Fallon fantasizing about himself.

― Eighteen straight. I think that's a record. (kenan), Wednesday, 2 June 2010 19:21 (sixteen years ago)

Yeah, that top pic of AWK actually gave me pause in a "hrrrmmm, I might think about it.." sort of way*.

Like, most of the time he's just muscle bound and bleeding and not very attractive but every now and then he manages to look really pretty. (Usually it's a case of not seeing his upper arms which, frankly, terrify me.)

*except then I just drew him and stuck a beard on him and turned him into Chris Cunningham so I felt A-OK about it all again.

http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2772/4294261098_531f448120_o.jpg

I don't understand how anyone can, just, like, look at Chris Cunningham, and not be slain with abject lust. He is so unbelievably beautiful, just the shape of his face, like a Renaissance angel. OK, if you watch his films, he's sick, perverted and deeply twisted. But I kinda like that in a man.

I like this pic a lot. He is having one of those rare moments where he wonders what his grandmother would think of all this freaky business he's tied up in, and it gives him pause.

Thanks to the terrible power of ~~topless pictures~~ ~~deciding to finish off a bottle of vodka before dinner~~ this thread I have had bad thoughts about Chris Cunningham AND Andrew WK within the space of 30 seconds.

I have a shameful televisual crush but after people have posted pictures of actual shirtless hotties I don't think I will dampen everyone else's lust by adding pasty nerds of the babyfaced-but-balding variety which seems to be my, uh, type. Siiiigh.

― atoms breaking heart (a passing spacecadet), Wednesday, 2 June 2010 19:40 (sixteen years ago)

Nah. If you read the accompanying interview, what he is really thinking is "mmmmmmm... I like trains... I like the weird electronic hum they make as they pick up speed... and the whooshy noises as they go by..."

Which is, like, the most adorable thing ever. (Says someone who has never ever spent the afternoon in a tube station trying to record the sound that the tube makes when it accelerates oh no not me, never.)

(Thing is, if you look at both the topless pic and the pic of him in the hat, but ESPECIALLY the topless pic, you realise that CC's fingers's are actually unbelievably INCREDIBLY long, like, ridiculously almost ET long. And I find long, narrow fingers just unbelievably hott on a man.)

((I mean, just LOOKIT the ring finger he's playing with in the topless pic. It's HUGELY long.)
