Klaus Nomi.

Is that because he's dead?

― Edward III (edward iii), Wednesday, 1 February 2006 19:43 (eighteen years ago) link

Madonna, actually.

Prince.

xpost: And German.

― js (honestengine), Wednesday, 1 February 2006 20:16 (eighteen years ago) link

How about Madonna and Prince? Now that would be an awkward dinner date.

― joseph cotten (joseph cotten), Wednesday, 1 February 2006 20:17 (eighteen years ago) link

they did meet once. Apparently it didn't go well.

Details, plz

― joseph cotten (joseph cotten), Wednesday, 1 February 2006 20:26 (eighteen years ago) link

It was bound to be uncomfortable once they showed up in the same outfit.

― js (honestengine), Wednesday, 1 February 2006 20:27 (eighteen years ago) link

I don't remember and don't have my Prince 80s bio in front of me... ask Matos, maybe? Didn't they also release a song together in the late 80s or something...?

― Shakey Mo Collier (Shakey Mo Collier), Wednesday, 1 February 2006 20:30 (eighteen years ago) link

ah yes, "Love Song" (which recently made an appearance on the "worst song on a great album" thread)!

I read that Madonna and Prince briefly dated in the mid-80s, and she referred to him as "the midget". I think it was in the "I Hate Madonna Handbook", so it might have been yella journalism.

― Brooker Buckingham (Brooker B), Wednesday, 1 February 2006 21:48 (eighteen years ago) link

that is soooo hard to envision, but i'd love for it to be true. if so, it must have been PURE HELL for both of them.

i met sufjan a few times, he's super awkward and verrrrrrrrrrry femme in person. limp handshake too. i couldn't wait til he left the room. seemed really insincere

― yo, Wednesday, 1 February 2006 21:58 (eighteen years ago) link

That just makes me lust after him more.

Venetian Snares. Basically an awkward prick.

Neil Hagerty, introvert.

― senseiDancer (sexyDancer), Wednesday, 1 February 2006 23:22 (eighteen years ago) link

No Michael Jackson?? He practically invesnted this thread.

― musically (musically), Wednesday, 1 February 2006 23:24 (eighteen years ago) link

that's a disgusting thing to do to a thread

― blunt (blunt), Wednesday, 1 February 2006 23:25 (eighteen years ago) link

Ya, let's pretend I can spell. I was too caught up in the moment.

― musically (musically), Wednesday, 1 February 2006 23:33 (eighteen years ago) link

I imagined hanging out with Michael Jackson approx. 1,000,000,000 times when I was little.

― Tracer Hand (tracerhand), Wednesday, 1 February 2006 23:40 (eighteen years ago) link

Robert Fripp. I hadn't met him pesonally (yet), but I've heard stories. I don't know how it is working with him in a professional capacity, though I'll probably be finding out in the not-to-distant future.

― Cliftonb, Thursday, 2 February 2006 00:23 (eighteen years ago) link

Dan Snaith from Caribou. Just seems like the kind of computer club nerd who would lack basic social skills.

― jimnaseum (jimnaseum), Thursday, 2 February 2006 00:27 (eighteen years ago) link

shitloads and shitloads of famous people

― M@tt He1geson (Matt Helgeson), Thursday, 2 February 2006 00:32 (eighteen years ago) link

In my experience - Michael Gira. But, you know, duh.

I've had the displeasure of being in a crowded room with a certain bloated, self-important, Tin Foil Pan Alley alky from the Lower East Side whose initials are S and M...

Stephen Malkmus?

― so not happening, Thursday, 2 February 2006 01:56 (eighteen years ago) link

Jon Spencer. Met him a long time ago in his pussy galore days. one of the most standoffish people I have ever met. he seemed to think he was very "downtown". Here's hoping he's relaxed since then.

I'd love to hang out with Phil Spector.

― musically (musically), Thursday, 2 February 2006 02:43 (eighteen years ago) link

I covet Phil's hair.

― Brooker Buckingham (Brooker B), Thursday, 2 February 2006 02:49 (eighteen years ago) link

he's self sufficient as far as bush goes.

― Susan Douglas (Susan Douglas), Thursday, 2 February 2006 04:29 (eighteen years ago) link

Roger Waters. Or anyone from Godspeed You Black Emperor.

Natalie f---ing Merchant, not that I would ever want to hang with her, but if we were trapped in an airport lounge or something.....

Dan Snaith is a nice guy, and not at all nerdy in my experience. Well, a bit.
I had a chat with Sufjan S about the Tour De France. He was very pleasant and well informed on pro cycling.

― snotty moore, Thursday, 2 February 2006 13:06 (eighteen years ago) link

dude from brian jonestown. not the tambourine player, he'd be awesome to hang out with.

I saw Lisa Loeb on Vh-1 trying to find a boyfriend. Fucking cunt! Stuck-up, corny, pseudointellectual BITCH. It was unbelievable how predictable she was. The real joke was when they were doing an online dating form and her friend says, "Write VERY intelligent because some people THINK they're intelligent, but..." Lisa agrees, "Oh, right, right!" Meanwhile, these two bozos stopped thinking in the late 80s or early 90s it seems because the last time I saw people acting like this, I was just entering college and black-rimmed glasses were just starting to make a comeback. I guess those glasses suit her and, paradoxically, she gives people with black-rimmed glasses a bad name!
