I just bumped into Momus in the streets of Brussels

thought, even

was he dressed like stupid tit?

"a stupid tit" like people who make typos while ridiculing someone different just trying to live their life the way they see fit, like a tranny or momus.

stop hating on momus

OMG, Momus is playing literally IN FRONT of my house tomorrow!

Lock up your d Cool!

i like to imagine an alternative reality where momus is a middle manager working for some accountancy firm in dumfries, boring his teenage kids with stories of how he used to be in a post punk group 25 years ago. shopping for slacks in next, drinking real ale after work, taking his daughter to an artic monkeys concert, shagging his boring wife twice a week (missionary position in the dark).

You sure like to imagine!

it's imagination time!

i'm sure momus would like us all to use our imaginations more.

i like to imagine an alternate reality in which momus carried on making good records.

(actually: his last one sounded like it wasn't bad. but "ping-pong" kinda put me off for ever.)

Ping Pong, the album

There's a decade-long stretch when I didn't keep up with whatever Momus was doing. But I think his last couple of records are interesting. Let's face it, there aren't too many people in their late forties who are still trying to do something different.

momus is my dad, btw.

a deadbeat dad.

I don't get what your problem is, max r

momus never hugged me enough as a child.

i still like momus as an idea, certainly :)

I like to imagine Momus demanding cribbage from Max R.

Mmmmm.

I think I will go for a lie down now.

(Should I repost the most Momusy ILE post ever here?)

yes!

the gansha one? phenomenal.

I'll tell you a funny story. I went to dinner in Japan at the house of a famous TV comedian, Suidobashi Hakase. He's a protege of Takeshi Kitano. It was quite a gathering, with legendary author and tattooed hardman Ishmaru Gensho also present. We tucked into sushi prepared by Hakase's bald manservant.
Hakase had just published a book in which all his friends narrated their early experiences with masturbation. Kitano and Gensho had whole chapters to themselves. In the middle of supper, my girlfriend announced that I was fond of gansha, a more modestly-scaled and intimate version of bukkake. I blushed, but Hakase and Gensho seemed delighted that I had taken the trouble to learn Japanese customs, and from that moment on I felt like they'd accepted me into their club.

Hakase later married Chie, one of the two girls with whom I was living at the time. She had first introduced herself to him with a playful photo of herself dribbling condensed milk from her mouth. Apparently this is quite a common method of flirtation -- a lover I had in Japan that same year produced, on our first date in a cafe in Nakameguro, a portfolio of photos of herself, one of which featured herself in an open white National Standard zip top, with some white substance trickling down her chin onto her breasts.

Ban Momus

Hakase and Gensho seemed delighted that I had taken the trouble to learn Japanese customs

hoo god, that's fucking wonderful. g'aun yersel', momus.

So the kind of parlando he uses on his albums is actually gansha rap?

"like a tranny or momus"

If I wasn't this pregnant, I might have gone to Brussels. Not really. But I like to imagine I would have.

So are you attending the gig?

Just don't stand in the front row in case of involuntary gansha

Scared by teh Gansha. Think I'll watch it from my appartment window.

and to think we wuz all bothered about Gobbing, back in the day!

Hi Dere, you are behind the times... that has already been reposted on the Momus Lolz blog.

Momus Lolz Blog = so great.

WE LOVE MOMUS

max r imagined his own future

I can see Momus from my window now. No sign of gansha

Quite a big crowd of hipsters though

So there's probably some gansha somewhere, then.

baaderonixx has gone worryingly quiet. i hope there haven't been any unforeseen gansha-related incidents and he's having some kind of emergency eye surgery.

or maybe a badly timed spurt has knocked out his street's broadband.

omg the blog

momus -_-

Thanks for the concern. Actually, from my windown I could only see Momus' legs through the front window of the shop he was playing in. Legs were twitching in front of a macbook. No music could be heard from my balcony three floors above.

hmmm. but what was twitching above those legs?

More legs.

Worst trolling for momus_cock.jpg ever.

has everyone seen the bukake sealion on the Momus Lolz blog yet?

I can't decide whether that makes me want to go to the momus lolz blog or not.

checking up my background info on wikipedia:

Nick Currie (born February 11, 1960 in Paisley, Scotland), more popularly known under the artist name Momus (after the Greek god of mockery), is a songwriter, blogger and a journalist for Wired. Most of his songs are self-referential or postmodern.

For more than twenty years he has been releasing, to only marginal commercial and critical success, playful and transgressive albums on labels in the United Kingdom, the United States, and Japan. In his lyrics and his other writing he makes seemingly random use of decontextualized pieces of continental (mostly French) philosophy, and has built up a personal world he says is "dominated by values like diversity, orientalism, and a respect for otherness." He is also known in certain circles outside the U.S. as a producer. He is fascinated by identity, Japan, the avant-garde, time travel and sex.

He wears a patch over his right eye because he lost the use of it after contracting acanthamoeba keratitis from a contact lens case washed with Greek tap water.

I thought it was something to do with a thrift shop in DC, or have I been told LIES?

why does that guy momus wear an eye patch?

Check here, there's a link to his blog telling how it happened.

Look just underneath a picture of a very red eye...

i thought it was something to do with gan ... oh, sod it, i don't think anyone else is finding this semen-reated tomfoolery quite as amusing as i am.
