Posts you had second thought about and decided not to post - put them here

I don't know? It's got a woman in the title, but it's two years old and the reads are on-site reads. It doesn't make sense. The simpsons porn one only partly makes sense, but a lot of those reads are site reads too. Wait, I get that one, because it persists because of the most read threads page working in concert with google hits. But the other one with the girl I just don't get, unless it's a lesser version of the same phenomenon.

i just wonder if it's some quirk in the system. it's always there.

Those famous Unabomber types

oh, this is actually not a thread about the suggest ban system

I have had it up to here waiting for the Fingerhut catalogue to be remastered.

Fact: www.dhmo.org is a website dedicated to that stupid joke your chemistry teacher makes in high school about dihydrogen monoxide (H2O) being the most abundant, potentially dangerous chemical in the world.

Fact: according to double top-secret web analytics I saw for epa.g0v today, the number two referrer to EPA's website in the past 3 months was www.dhmo.org, and it's been in the top 5 for the past year.

i wish this thread was locked because i totally feel like this now.

like what

xp - like the subject of a thread i had second thoughts about posting on that was a serious clusterfuck.

I always have to stop myself going onto thread about bands I don't like to slag them off, as that wouldn't be doing anyone any good.

yeah - i hear you on that one.

I always have to stop myself going onto thread about Picthfork, I don't like to slag them off, as that wouldn't be doing anyone any good.

I always like going on the Pitchfork thread because it makes other people who allegedly don't read it cry.

?

talking about the "omg ppl are talking about Pitchfork, WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY" contingent

xxp - do you talk about provates or something?

oh. that's me, sometimes, too. i mean, i can't restrain myself and i should

Provates--their new album is great, much improved over that EP last year

kinda feel like derailing LJ's epic poll thread and protest vehemently that he should have included track 6 from the last Provates album.

Wait was the Neil

what? I didn't catch that. But my hearing's been for shit since I was a kid.

100 miles isn't really very far - there are people out here that commute that distance to work every day.

'shut up'

;)

ha - that is my US-centric view of things.

pennyroyal

I said basically the same thing when I got a ticket for not having my headlights on over the weekend driving my mom's truck.

i wouldn't mind being a mod, actually.

I just noticed this thread happening. So that comment happened near the beginning of the thread?

I can't

sometimes I think cat power is the only music i agree with

Agree with, like, the sentiment of the words? Or the entire musical aesthetic? Maybe I shouldn't ask. Maybe this should be a safe place.

I wasn't gonna ask what you can't, but this is a haven, so I didn't.

that guy is an old friend and collaborator of my boss. He's a good player.

Ned? You worried about pulling a Suzy?

Yeah, and violating my new self-imposed posting limitations.

He's brilliant. My fave is The Crux? I gave it to one of my best friends, so I might've forgotten the title since it's been away.

we have a couple of his albums at work - he's a good guy, a little grumpy. I haven't actually listened to his albums, but I've seen him live. This is the case with a lot of music for me, actually.

If "Hounds of Love" were released today, half of the people raving about it would hate it.

you have as much chance of becoming a mod as me

my ambitions are quite low - i'd feel thoroughly satisfied being mod of a sub-board only me and two other people post to. I just want to make up fake user names.

You can register fake gmail addys and make fake user accounts based on them. The mods will know, though, based on your IP.

too much work.

Everyone who plays an instrument even kind of well. People who speak two languages. People who do hard math. People in science.

*deletes long overly personal post probably seeking sympathy*

The guy in that anecdote was an artist in the Whitney Biennial.

I'd have given him at least an 8.

more like a small dune of sand in a depressingly flat desert

on second thought, 5 might be more accurate.

spent 15 minutes revising a post about bristle blocks, then decided to just link an image

i've said a lot of things here that i have never said to anyone in my real life. very personal things. i feel safe here. i have no idea why. i don't know everybody. there are way less people than there used to be. maybe that's part of it. it feels calmer here now. i don't feel a lot of judgement though. and i feel support. and supported. i appreciate that more than any of you will ever know. which is one reason why i never want to make anyone feel uncomfortable if i can help it. i feel like i can argue with people and not have it be the end of the world. but i don't want to make jokes at anyone's expense. even if its unintentional i still feel bad. there are a few jokes that i made here years ago that i still really regret.

i would buy you all negronis for sure. i would have to settle for a mock negroni? is that even a thing?

don't know if there is such a thing

one of my best friends loves negronis, we have made them often together and I can appreciate them.

my favorite cocktail though is still a dry gin martini with olives

Look at me everyone, I’m so jaded that I’m not bothered by a guy with a conviction for reproducing violent CSAM!


I'm assuming this is directed at me, so let me day unequivocally fuck that Sotos guy, I've read enough of the stuff wrt Albini's association that I wouldn't touch a book with a 10 ft poll and frankly that's an incredibly shitty thing to say about someone.

Albini's association with him is the worst thing I've read about him by far, but in a time when I'm mourning someone who's work meant a very much to me, who obviously impacted a lot of people, and treated so many people, including friends of mine with incredible kindness, I'm not going to judge him based on the dumbest shit he said nearly 40 years ago, especially when he's the only edge lord type to even attempt to grow and recant who he was back then.

No it’s not directed at you. It was a direct response to the comment above you.

Above mine!
