Aja > Aja > about ten bazillion other things > Durst

― hstencil (hstencil), Thursday, 29 April 2004 04:13 (twenty years ago) link

'The album Aja > the poster Aja'

I think that's a little unfair.

― Patrick Kinghorn, Thursday, 29 April 2004 04:13 (twenty years ago) link

yeah aja i like you and everything, but you gotta understand - that's peak dan!
-- cinniblount (littlejohnnyjewe...)

So then it would rank highly on that list. Well, as long as it's ahead of the Dave Matthews Band, we'll be fine.

― Aja (aja), Thursday, 29 April 2004 04:13 (twenty years ago) link

well true, I haven't met her. But Aja the album has been a vital part of my life for years.

― hstencil (hstencil), Thursday, 29 April 2004 04:14 (twenty years ago) link

Aja you're definitely ahead of DMB, don't worry.

― hstencil (hstencil), Thursday, 29 April 2004 04:14 (twenty years ago) link

Surely 'The album Aja >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>donkey balls>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> the poster Aja'

Or have I misunderstood the system?

― Patrick Kinghorn, Thursday, 29 April 2004 04:14 (twenty years ago) link

Umm, you only need one >

― Aja (aja), Thursday, 29 April 2004 04:15 (twenty years ago) link

dude knows his donkey balls

― cinniblount (James Blount), Thursday, 29 April 2004 04:16 (twenty years ago) link

the more elements of the system, the closer the rankings are to each other. So just saying Aja > Aja > donkey balls is kinda mean.

― hstencil (hstencil), Thursday, 29 April 2004 04:16 (twenty years ago) link

maybe it's a threeway

― cinniblount (James Blount), Thursday, 29 April 2004 04:17 (twenty years ago) link

to indicate a tie you'd use =.

― hstencil (hstencil), Thursday, 29 April 2004 04:18 (twenty years ago) link

donkey balls >

, btw.

― hstencil (hstencil), Thursday, 29 April 2004 04:19 (twenty years ago) link

> greater than

< less than

= equal to

* something special

― Aja (aja), Thursday, 29 April 2004 04:19 (twenty years ago) link

This looks like a tie ><

― Patrick Kinghorn, Thursday, 29 April 2004 04:20 (twenty years ago) link

you're right, this:

looks like crap

Modern Lovers & Velvet Underground --> Underground Lovers

― Sasha (sgh), Thursday, 29 April 2004 04:22 (twenty years ago) link

Btw I didn't mean to be mean

― Patrick Kinghorn, Thursday, 29 April 2004 04:23 (twenty years ago) link

You understand Aja this is a project of a scientific nature

― Patrick Kinghorn, Thursday, 29 April 2004 04:24 (twenty years ago) link

No, not really, but I didn't take any of your comments personally. What you think is what you think.

― Aja (aja), Thursday, 29 April 2004 04:26 (twenty years ago) link

To be fair, I can't think of a single person that's > the album Aja.

― Patrick Kinghorn, Thursday, 29 April 2004 04:31 (twenty years ago) link

not even your mom?

― hstencil (hstencil), Thursday, 29 April 2004 04:32 (twenty years ago) link

I really need to get that. Neither my mom nor my dad has ever bought it.

― Aja (aja), Thursday, 29 April 2004 04:32 (twenty years ago) link

Don't make me choose.

― Patrick Kinghorn, Thursday, 29 April 2004 04:33 (twenty years ago) link

It's a =

― Patrick Kinghorn, Thursday, 29 April 2004 04:34 (twenty years ago) link

if it came down to saving my mom or Aja from a burning building, I'd choose my mom. I mean, the most I'll ever get for Aja is a quarter at a record store.

Thanks, thanks, I'll be here all night.

I don't understand how the name link works from the electric prunes to the art of noise: is it terribly obvious?

― tom west (thomp), Thursday, 29 April 2004 09:25 (twenty years ago) link

John Cougar Mellencamp ---> John Cougar Concentration Camp
The Primitives (60's) ---> The Primitives (80's)
The Chemical Brothers named themselves after the Dust Brothers originally, no? Then I think they had to change it. What a pair of dorks.

― udu wudu (udu wudu), Thursday, 29 April 2004 18:45 (twenty years ago) link

'Motorhead---------Radiohead

Errr....no, Radiohead came from a Talking Heads tune'

As I said above, these could be hypothetical connections, not real ones. I'm not seriously suggesting that Offspring named themselves after Family either.

'Either in reality (like The Crickets--------The Beatles) or in your brane (like Motorhead---------Radiohead, because of course they named themselves after the Talking Heads song).

You go.
