Not saying he'll be there, that's up to him -- and maybe he wants to avoid us all! But Momus plays Spaceland with Rroland on Friday, and I'm going if at all possible, as is Chaki. Anyone else up for this, getting a meal/a drink beforehand or afterward or...?

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Monday, 28 July 2003 19:53 (twenty-two years ago)

Not just Rroland, but Fashion Flesh and Kimya Dawson of the Moldy Peaches! In all probability this will be an excellent show, we are all humming like tops and have been wowing even the non-believers along the way, making cold calvinist cynics into babbling baroque believers.

Sorry I can't guestlist you, but I will certainly be able to slip you a free drink ticket in exchange for sundry sexual favours.

Spaceland directions here. Let's all huddle together and increase the population density of California!

― Momus (Momus), Monday, 28 July 2003 20:05 (twenty-two years ago)

im so there.

― chaki (chaki), Monday, 28 July 2003 20:10 (twenty-two years ago)

I'm trying to bring a ton of people to this actually.

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Monday, 28 July 2003 20:12 (twenty-two years ago)

I might need to post my usual 'if someone can grab me at Union Station/put me up for a night' disclaimer, but more on this as the day approaches.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Monday, 28 July 2003 20:15 (twenty-two years ago)

hehe, i will be a few blocks away at a bday party until 10pm.

― gygax! (gygax!), Monday, 28 July 2003 20:19 (twenty-two years ago)

And then you come and SEE US.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Monday, 28 July 2003 20:22 (twenty-two years ago)

believe me, i have a weird curiosity to run my fingers through your locks but alas i've got priorities (it's one of my best friend's 30th). i will be staying in "old" topanga canyon.

― gygax! (gygax!), Monday, 28 July 2003 20:31 (twenty-two years ago)

Oh, so you're saying we should take the party to you, that's cool.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Monday, 28 July 2003 20:40 (twenty-two years ago)

I plan on getting slightly drunk at this.

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Tuesday, 29 July 2003 03:27 (twenty-two years ago)

woo-hoo!

― lolita corpus (lolitacorpus), Tuesday, 29 July 2003 05:10 (twenty-two years ago)

Momus, you and I are taking photos of both of us with trucker hats on at the Seattle show. This will happen.

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Tuesday, 29 July 2003 07:33 (twenty-two years ago)

my friend Fezah just saw Momor in Japan . She wanted to shove a squid up his ass for fun, but was far too shy. Ahh, such is life in Japan.

― Mike Hanle y (mike), Tuesday, 29 July 2003 08:38 (twenty-two years ago)

that is rich, spencer

― gygax! (gygax!), Tuesday, 29 July 2003 13:34 (twenty-two years ago)

I'm trying to imagine an argument between Momus and Al Davis.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Tuesday, 29 July 2003 13:44 (twenty-two years ago)

Momus, get yer ass back to detroit sometime soon.

― Kingfish (Kingfish), Tuesday, 29 July 2003 13:51 (twenty-two years ago)

Can't move it just now for all the squid.

― Momus (Momus), Tuesday, 29 July 2003 16:57 (twenty-two years ago)

*ker-ching*

So is it that Chinese grocery squid tube variety, flash-frozen for easier insertion?

― suzy (suzy), Tuesday, 29 July 2003 17:02 (twenty-two years ago)

Sorry I can't guestlist you, but I will certainly be able to slip you a free drink ticket in exchange for sundry sexual favours.

Honesty, but I've heard that delights can be had for cheaper;>

As my transdimensional portal is on the blink, I'll just growl over in the corner about the unfairness of life, etc, etc.

― Nichole Graham (Nichole Graham), Tuesday, 29 July 2003 17:05 (twenty-two years ago)

so who's going? I for one am jazzed.

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Wednesday, 30 July 2003 17:49 (twenty-two years ago)

I will try to be there, though it conflicts with the Bembeya Jazz appearance at Grand Performances. I've never actually heard a Momus track, just the one from the 6ths second LP that he sings on.

― nickn (nickn), Wednesday, 30 July 2003 20:12 (twenty-two years ago)

so who's going?
i'll go if someone buys my ticket and one Cape Cod. ;-)

― Orbit (Orbit), Wednesday, 30 July 2003 23:55 (twenty-two years ago)

ill get the cape cod

― chaki (chaki), Wednesday, 30 July 2003 23:57 (twenty-two years ago)

LOL, ok Cape Cod down, ticket to go.

― Orbit (Orbit), Wednesday, 30 July 2003 23:59 (twenty-two years ago)

A certain Extraordinary Gentleman in chat arranged for a ticket, so I will be there. :-)

― Orbit (Orbit), Thursday, 31 July 2003 00:53 (twenty-two years ago)

Last minute revive! Okay, will be calling around to people here in a bit, but if you can, join us (so far myself, Chaki and a friend of his) at Thai-American Express at around 7:15 or so for pre-show dinner/FAPping, whatever. As the link shows it's around on the north side of the Silverlake Reservoir, so it's not that far from the venue. Show is supposed to begin at 9 pm for Rroland, so be there if you can't make it for dinner!

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Friday, 1 August 2003 19:18 (twenty-two years ago)

(Oh yes, exact street address for Thai-American: 2903 Rowena)

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Friday, 1 August 2003 19:19 (twenty-two years ago)

see you at the show!

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Friday, 1 August 2003 19:23 (twenty-two years ago)

Yay!

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Friday, 1 August 2003 19:26 (twenty-two years ago)

And with that off to the bus and to the station etc. Will try calling folks a bit later this evening via cell as needed. See everyone soon!

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Friday, 1 August 2003 22:06 (twenty-two years ago)

Momus, get yer ass back to detroit sometime soon.
-- Kingfish (jdsalmo...), July 29th, 2003.

-- Momus (nic...), July 29th, 2003.

Come back to Chicago or you'll be swimmin' with the damn squid, bub.

― Ann Sterzinger (Ann Sterzinger), Friday, 1 August 2003 22:27 (twenty-two years ago)

Momus, you should have a backing band named The Formalistics.

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Friday, 1 August 2003 23:26 (twenty-two years ago)

Hi! Message service from Ned Raggett (7:23 PM):

The official Pre-Party has been moved the The Red Lion in Silverlake instead of Thai-American Express! Go in and look for the long hair!

Thanks!

― Vic, Saturday, 2 August 2003 01:30 (twenty-two years ago)

oooooh... let's start a thread about formalism! I'll need my vibrator.

― Ann Sterzinger (Ann Sterzinger), Saturday, 2 August 2003 02:31 (twenty-two years ago)

I'll need my tremolo.

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Saturday, 2 August 2003 09:40 (twenty-two years ago)

i haven't had breakfast yet

― Kingfish (Kingfish), Saturday, 2 August 2003 15:55 (twenty-two years ago)

hi this is chaki posting at vic iodines house and id like to say my head hurts really bad

― chaki, Saturday, 2 August 2003 16:44 (twenty-two years ago)

hi i have chaki ovr my house and im taking care of his head and we're watching Tron on Wham

and momus was the sexiest one-eyed mang i've even seen. he let me touch him. twice. (prrof in pics)

― Vic (Vic), Saturday, 2 August 2003 17:13 (twenty-two years ago)

Momus' performance was absolutely amazing. I liked the new backing tracks too.

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Saturday, 2 August 2003 18:25 (twenty-two years ago)

I think Chaki @ Ihop almost trumps Momus@spaceland but it's a cose call

― Vic (Vic), Saturday, 2 August 2003 18:28 (twenty-two years ago)

I think Chaki's hair trumps all.

― Orbit (Orbit), Saturday, 2 August 2003 19:17 (twenty-two years ago)

Wait a minute--why has no one posted that we have pictures of Momus wearing a Chinese collapsible trucker hat from last night?

― Orbit (Orbit), Saturday, 2 August 2003 19:46 (twenty-two years ago)

i dunno! i had a blast everyone. im just recovering now! momus was really great. he had someone remixing his stuff LIVE while he was singing and and it was really musical and interesting. everyone go see momus on this tour! i dont even remember ihop! im sorry if i made an ass out of myself!

― chaki (chaki), Saturday, 2 August 2003 19:51 (twenty-two years ago)

No,no, no, Chaki, you were fabulous. Absolutely fabulous.

And Spencer is a very smart guy, and fun to talk to.

Ned, Melinda, Lolita Corpus, Lenora, Rroland and anyone else I'm forgetting--Hurrah!

I hereby propose an L.A. Architectural FAP followed by a dinner party. I think I have a suitable location figured out. This was inspred by passing by the new Opera House in downtown LA this morning-amazing.

― Orbit (Orbit), Saturday, 2 August 2003 20:04 (twenty-two years ago)

Just got home, v. good fun, more thoughts later, but yes, this was definitely the best performance of Momus's I've seen yet. Hurrah!

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Saturday, 2 August 2003 20:18 (twenty-two years ago)

Ned, Melinda, Lolita Corpus, Lenora, Rroland and anyone else I'm forgetting--Hurrah!

Wow, I wonder who you're forgetting

― Vic (Vic), Saturday, 2 August 2003 20:28 (twenty-two years ago)

Did somebody just post something?

(We heart the Vic)

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Saturday, 2 August 2003 20:30 (twenty-two years ago)

And Vic Vic Viki---yes I knew I was forgetting someone. We heart you!

― Orbit (Orbit), Saturday, 2 August 2003 20:39 (twenty-two years ago)

vic's pad is uber cool with nice vibe and good music! we all must party there!

happy halloween!
You probably don't know what you are saying.
If you *do* know what you are saying, FUCK YOU.
If your post is coincidental, and you are not being snide, please ignore this post and accept my sincerest apologies.

― Orbit (Orbit), Saturday, 2 August 2003 23:51 (twenty-two years ago)

― gareth (gareth), Saturday, 2 August 2003 23:55 (twenty-two years ago)

huh?

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Saturday, 2 August 2003 23:56 (twenty-two years ago)

i was just being friendly. no snideness intended.

― Asymmetric Cocktails (Jody Beth Rosen), Sunday, 3 August 2003 00:00 (twenty-two years ago)

OK. Please ignore and accept my sincerest apologies

― Orbit (Orbit), Sunday, 3 August 2003 00:01 (twenty-two years ago)

Apologies to all for my apparent lunacy. It was related to a coincidence that I explained to JBR in chat.

― Orbit (Orbit), Sunday, 3 August 2003 01:44 (twenty-two years ago)

As usual I miss out on a good one. I wasn't really feeling social so I went to see Bembeya Jazz instead. It was very good, but I probably could have made Spaceland afterward, it ended at 10:30.

― nickn (nickn), Sunday, 3 August 2003 03:49 (twenty-two years ago)

my ma thinks momus looks like a white prince. (as in the purple funky one).

any l.a. architectural happenings are ok by me!

― lolita corpus (lolitacorpus), Sunday, 3 August 2003 04:54 (twenty-two years ago)

more pics please!!! (anyone comin to parlour room tonight?)

― chaki (chaki), Sunday, 3 August 2003 16:25 (twenty-two years ago)

chaki i might come but i dunno as my schedule is whack as i still haven't slept yet! ;) i did go to Bang (must capitalize!) last nite and then mel's and i have to save $ but hey i know this for sure i am sure definitely, most certainly comin next sunday! and of course spencer said he would as he claimed that he's spinning!

― Vic (Vic), Sunday, 3 August 2003 16:47 (twenty-two years ago)

Spinning?

― Orbit (Orbit), Sunday, 3 August 2003 17:02 (twenty-two years ago)

records!
ahh spencer is going to spin at the parlour next month! (if he still agrees) its only $3 to get in!

― chaki (chaki), Sunday, 3 August 2003 17:49 (twenty-two years ago)

LOL--I ws trying to decide if:
Spinning=the bicycle class at the gym
Spinning=that silly grateful dead twirly dance
:-)

― Orbit (Orbit), Sunday, 3 August 2003 18:02 (twenty-two years ago)

Okay, the pick of the rest of Mel's photos (IHOP photos taken by Spencer) -- not sure how the image leeching will affect my webspace so I think I'll take these down after a week or so. So Photoshop happy people will want these now. ;-)

The man of the hour:

Chaki meets Momus, world trembles:

Get DOWN:

Mystic Momus:

http://kuci.org/~nraggett/momusfap/momusstage1.jpg

In the first of several shoegazey photos, Orbit, Momus, Vic, myself, Chaki, Spencer and Lolita Corpus sorta rock out. I have no memory of or idea why I'm apparently holding onto Spencer's head:

http://kuci.org/~nraggett/momusfap/motleyile2blurry.jpg

Spencer, Orbit, Momus, Chaki, Vic, Lolita and myself are now more in focus:

http://kuci.org/~nraggett/momusfap/motleyile4.jpg

Things get blurrier, devil signs start appearing:

Vic assists Chaki with flyers. At this stage Chaki is extremely merry.

Chaki with more flyers, as my hair and Lolita's look on approvingly:

I have NO idea:

I have so no idea that the photo isn't even posting! Just go here:

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Sunday, 3 August 2003 20:31 (twenty-two years ago)

Ned you just posted what is possibly the *worst* picture of me ever taken! But everyone else looks fine :-)
Hurrah!

― Orbit (Orbit), Sunday, 3 August 2003 20:38 (twenty-two years ago)

oh man...

― chaki (chaki), Sunday, 3 August 2003 21:29 (twenty-two years ago)

No I am NOT grabbing Chaki's thighs causing him to squeal in delight in that last foto - just have to make that clear.

We saved that for my car

― Vic (Vic), Monday, 4 August 2003 00:13 (twenty-two years ago)

Ok, so it's not about Momus but Chaki's new club opens tonite!

― Orbit (Orbit), Monday, 4 August 2003 00:52 (twenty-two years ago)

ned i dont think its very polite to grab your balls while taking pictures, you know

― Chupa-Cabras (vicc13), Monday, 4 August 2003 00:59 (twenty-two years ago)

I know. I should have grabbed Chaki's.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Monday, 4 August 2003 01:10 (twenty-two years ago)

u were already doing enough grabbing with the way you held spencer's hair like that ned, my you've become so physical lately! it was prolly in retribution for us always talking about your hair, but a foto is not a good time to settle scores

― Vic (Vic), Monday, 4 August 2003 01:14 (twenty-two years ago)

I am surrounded by perverts. Well done.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Monday, 4 August 2003 01:14 (twenty-two years ago)

Maybe that is how Raggett becomes hair triumphant, by feeling up other people's hair and absorbing its powers?

― Ally (mlescaut), Monday, 4 August 2003 03:48 (twenty-two years ago)

The bad touch, as they might say.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Monday, 4 August 2003 03:51 (twenty-two years ago)

Who took those pictures, btw? THey should be beaten up, wtf is up with the nonfocusing?

― Ally (mlescaut), Monday, 4 August 2003 03:51 (twenty-two years ago)

Hey now, no abuse -- that was friend/lurker Mel, and she mentioned having problems with the outside shots like that. Must have been the random street lighting or something.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Monday, 4 August 2003 03:53 (twenty-two years ago)

lolita looks a bit like a short Beth Orton. (this is a compliment)

― teeny (teeny), Monday, 4 August 2003 18:06 (twenty-two years ago)

Oh my god, I was thinking that too!

For reference, here's Beth smiling:

DRUG FIENDS.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Monday, 4 August 2003 18:16 (twenty-two years ago)

Those smiles =
a) Machievellian plot,
b) Free-flowing G&T or
c) fast-finger action under those tables!

It's prolly my twisted head, but Momus looked like he had a beanie on. (For future ref, stylish purple suit doesn't match with Little Rascals headgear.)

Now you're just being silly.

It occurs to me I didn't praise Rroland's performance enough. A song that was a physics lesson! A slow cover of "Chinese Rocks!" An all-instrumental take on "Ashes to Ashes!"

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Tuesday, 5 August 2003 00:12 (twenty-two years ago)

aw, thanks for the compliments.
i always thought beth orton was a sexy shaggy-haired boy of a girl.
but now my anonymity is ruined!
no more incriminating jabs at scientology, the government, and/or the tyde.

― lolita corpus (lolitacorpus), Tuesday, 5 August 2003 06:09 (twenty-two years ago)

Nonsense, Lolita, we will help you in these quests.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Tuesday, 5 August 2003 12:26 (twenty-two years ago)

thanx ned, i guess i'll leave "rocks" on the list, the physics lesson is doubtful, everytime i've played it i end up sensing a good amount of slackjaw from the audience. it was nice to finally meet you and chaki, although mr chow and i never shook . really i'm a minor troll here, but thanks again for the props

― jameslucasakarroland, Tuesday, 5 August 2003 23:27 (twenty-two years ago)

i was in a car driving by on friday and i was all ready to yell "ILX!!!" out of the car window (!!!) but there wasn't anybody outside the club at around 10pm.
