That was quick! I just this second posted a comment on Stav's thread asking when this would happen. Wow!

Can we choose our own swappers this time, according to our elective affinities and secret hopes?

Nope. More Jon Davidson cover songs for you, mon frère.

So, to repeat the question, has anyone, apart from the Commish, received any Portuguese records yet?

But yeah. I could go for another swap.

I'm out. Cd burner broke a couple of days ago.

I'm actually listening to honest-to-goodness operatic worship music at the moment. With Italian and everything. Turns out I don't hate opera after all.

But for some reason I keep thinking of Miguel-oh evil twin, are you an opera fan?

Nothing from Portugal yet. Maybe this evening when I get home.

I'm up for another swap anytime.

An no picking swappers. It's got to be random, that's half the fun.

My CD burner is decidedly non-flambe. But this is just the kind of excuse I need to fix the bloody thing. Count me in.

Hey Walrus...did you ever make me a replacement disc? That crazy white noise is ruining my walrusing.

Damn. No I never sent dong the mega-mix CD I was planning, either. I have one PC with no mp3s but a working burner, one PC with a duff burner and a huge mp3 collection, and my network does not. Something has to give ...

It's not that I'm not curious - I'd just hate not to get CDs from those swappers whose mixes I most enjoyed. I hate surprises - unless I'm already surprised. I still hate the being surprised. I like predictable, loyal, steadfast, comfortable, knowing beforehand. Hey have a heart - I'm old, OK?

I'm in. Just stay away from the Nelly Furtado, otay?

Hey kaf, how about I just pass you an mp3 of the song(s) that got fritzed? Then you could reburn the list and save me the postage ;-)

Yeah, why the hell not? Count me in. I've been working on a mix that'll bring the house down.

That would be just fine, Walrus. If I ever bothered to do anything with mp3s....maybe this is the time to get started.

I do have a vast collection of Bonzo Dog Band mp3s some kind Australian sent me.

I have two questions:
What's the deadline?
Migs, have you experienced any problems with the transatlantic posting? I'm fecking cursed where Italy's crap system is concerned, both sending and receiving, and I'd hate to have a bunch of discs never reach their destinations.

Does one have to be an official monkey, or is having "part-time" status enough? I could probably put together a pretty dysfunctional compilation for y'all. Or "eclectic" or something....

As far as I'm concerned, signups are open to anyone who wants to play.

Cross over children, all are welcome!

ALL ARE WELCOME!

come into the light.

Translation: if you want in, you're in.

No problems yet, Kimmy. No customs trouble, nothing. This time it's taken a bit longer, though. Commish got his on Tuesday but nobody else has.

Of course we smarmy, cool European Union citizens (you, Walrus and me) can ship each other anything we damn well like. :)

YOU SAID DON'T GO INTO THE LIGHT!

damn midgets!

I only want to swap CDs with the women, anyway. I'm sick of all the heavy-metal, pomp rock macho Seventies garbage you unfailingly get from the men, except Marquis. ;)

Miguel, watch your mouth. You're not that much older than I am.

And that isn't old.

*plucks a gray hair when no one is looking*

WHAT? don't make me go to Portugal to open up a nice cold can of whoop-ass on you.

oh sure, that posts with no problems

ouch!

Depending on when the deadline is, I may be in for it too. I'm finally going to break down and buy a burner sometime in October, I think. You bastards, you made me do it! Hope you all don't mind instrumentals.

Though I did enjoy the beer-stained xerox insert of tj and his brother exemplifying the correct mullet-shaking and air guitar accompaniments.

that's it, Miggsy- Nothing but a two CD set of different versions of the Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald for you.

No Instrumentals!

I'll do it, and as befits my 40's, I promise only to include Slayer's most lyrical tracks.

I'll start thumbing my dusty cd's and firing up the MP3-to-wav software (and trying to compete with awesome monkey-CD cover art without having a clue what any of it looked like).

Posted by: readymade on September 19, 2002 02:10 PM

Okay, I'm in, providing deadline is sometime after mid-october. Hope y'all like furren music.
*starts collecting sacrifices for the Italian postal gods*

Die, grey hairs, die! (Found my first one the other day. I'm too young for this sh*t)

First results now coming in: Tj and Bunnyfire in same group.

Bring on those 'Ndrangheta and Malavita songs, Romakimmy!

Yo.

me too! I promise, no Ms. Fartado!

Yo - are you resisting the haiku urge on the Blue, ColdChef? I notice you never indulge when someone announces you'll be appearing shortly, specially if it's the Eye-Tie Kid. Is this a conscious policy on your part?

Matt has a nice haiku there, though.

Miguel, Mars got yours yesterday I think.

If I can't do instrumentals, then my entire mix shall consist of less than 30 second crust core songs by bands such as Assuck and Anal Cunt.

So there!

ok hows this for deadlines:

Sign up deadline: October 3
Ship em out by: October 24

That should give everyone more than enough time I would think.

(that everyone will have sent them out by Thanksgiving!)

(that way everyone will have sent them out by Thanksgiving!)

OK, OK, the instrumentals then.

I'm in!

*begins furiously ripping and burning Pat Boone's "metal" album*

I am instituting a no "Fade Into You" rule for this swap.

Keep in mind that I, in fact, love this song. But I put it on too many of my own mixes, and got it on at least two in the last round.

Apologies, Ms. Sandoval.

I'm confused. Deadline to ship out is Oct 24, but we're kosher if we ship them out by thanksgiving (3rd thursday in Nov. for all you non-yanks)?

TJ was kidding, Kimmy. He was referring to incredible masters of sloth like the goodly Miguel.

I actually LIKE The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald.

Yeah, I know. I get scarier by the minute, don't I?

Yo - are you resisting the haiku urge on the Blue, ColdChef? I notice you never indulge when someone announces you'll be appearing shortly, specially if it's the Eye-Tie Kid. Is this a conscious policy on your part?

To be honest, I rarely check in on MeFi during my work day. Hmmm...two call outs. That's a lot of pressure. I may be forced to join.

*starts working on "All Showtunes" mix*

So, is there some special place to sign up? A hidden room where we all go, draped in faux-monkey skins, beating drums while we put our sacred, secret names in the hopper?

Posted by: readymade on September 19, 2002 02:38 PM

cdswap@9622.net

OK, OK, the instrumentals then.

Heh. Never underestimate the power of the threat of anal cunt.

Don't worry, though. They won't all be instrumentals. Just two or three. Hmmmmm....

**begins assembling mental list, which will for sure be gone by weekend drubken binge.**

cdswap@9622.net

There's a dj here in LA that loves the Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald quite a bit. He registered a domain name for it last year, hasn't done anything with it though.

I would like to second k's no "Fade Into Me" rule and would like to supplement it with one of my own, the no "People Who Died" rule. I got no less than three different cds in the MeFi swap that had that song on it.

Pat Boone's "In a Metal Mood" is one of my favorite comedy CDs of all time. It never fails to make me smile. We used to listen to it in the back room of the music store I worked at.

Along with SG and RB I also have great stories about AnalCunt. Really, I do. Let's just say they are interesting live.

Since I just missed it last time, I definitely want in now. If that's OK with the nihilists.
Please, oh pretty please...

Of course, lilboo. What's with the 2 names?

Speaking of, Kaf and Jpoulos, please send me your addresses again. The UncleFes Tokens of Esteem(R)program got bogged down when Abulafia the Industrial-Strength Laptop of Doom bit the bag.

Anathema, you I still got. Slow I am, but forget I do not!

post!

9622.net : post, dammit!
Previewing, baby!
Anathema
You I still got
Slow I am
But forget I do not.

I'm UncleFes
And I got the tunes
Make you and yours
Jump around like loons.

Shake your butt
To my dopest tracks
It's UncleFes time
So you'd best relax.

*dies of shame*

*dies of shame twice*

U-Jones, would you believe that when AC does "in-stores" they play an acoustic set with bongos and everything.

Word to your mother!

*shouts out to all peeps, both east coast and west coast homies*

*hums Kaf's tune*

*raises the roof*

*pointedly fails to die of shame*

Swap! Swap! I'm in.

btw, was the God thread smited? After 200 posts I couldn't get it to load right at all on my screen. (on my 5 year old piece-a-crap-IE4.7 machine at least)

Crazy anathema. Do they slow it down and kind of, um, 'sing'? Are you gonna spill some of your stories about live AC now?

throws out emotionally troubled props to my homies ...

Shout-out to drug abuse!

*drops subtle hint at name of old gang, probably by mentioning a letter/number comination and a color*

*drops subtle hint at name of old gang, probably by mentioning a letter/number comBination and a color*

Shout-out to eating garbage!

*drops subtle hint at name of old gang, probably by mentioning a letter/number comBination and a color*

*pulls out gat. holds sideways. shoots server*

I think if you drop a subtle hint 3 times, then it becomes an obvious hint.

The only way to do that would for me to bring Jonathan Demme into the picture. I fear it would be too complicated to express here. Maybe on achipelapogo. But yes, they do slow it down. It is quite a mellow affair. It sure is a sight to behold when Seth throws himself into two sorority girls having a drink at the wrong place at the wrong time.

Shout out to having a drink at the wrong place at the wrong time!

kafkaesque - It's a split between my email address name & my metafilter ID. ( I picked a really bad metafilter ID when I first started & now I am stuck with it.) For some reason I put it in that way when I first started posting, selected the checkbox, and then never bothered to change it.

Is this better?

No problem either way. I was just wondering. LIke if there was two of you posting under the same name. Or if you had two personalities locked in a death-struggle over your soul.

That sort of thing.

just e-mail me if you want, anathema.

Ha, krimur.

Looking at your blog...I have the 12" of World Destruction. *plots evilly for next CD Swap.

Good thing for you lot I have no clue how to burn from vinyl to CD.

Oct 24th, eh? that should give me enough time to track down the rest of that (FUCKING AWESOME) bon jovi bootleg that everyone complained about last time.

excellent.

how many swap partners are we doing this time? menage a cinq, encore?

actually, i'm thinking about doing the "I'M SO CUTE YOU SHOULD KILL ME" album, particularly since i got a nice rip of pianosaurus.

(Pianosaurus? well, they're a band that does covers of chuck berry tunes using TOY PIANOS and nothing else. it rocks like, uh, uh, well, it doesn't rock so much, but it is really endearing.)

No music composed or played under the influence of alcohol or drugs of any kind or songs mentioning love, sex or politics. No British or American accents either.

*note to self: don't want to be in fishfondler's group this time.

Shout out to Fishfondler's group!

Big huge fishfucking shout out to fishfucker!

i is in.

i can appreciate miguel's suggestion of semirandomness however - and not just because I resent being deluged by heavy-metal, pomp rock macho Seventies garbage... sometimes there's a particular genre of music that one really wants to be exposed to (and others that one has already explored and either knows too well or has rejected), and there's something to be said for "You like IDM? Show me what's great!" or "Mid-50s hair-hopping tunes? Expose me!"

er.

I am ALL OVER this swap.
I didn't officially participate in the last two, but managed to swap with a large bunch of you kind-hearted monkeys anyway.
I greatly enjoined the responses to the last disc I sent out, and I have a lot more to work with this go around.
*plots*

*stirs the pot*

Tell you what. You guys that only want a particular type of music can haul your sorry asses down to Rainbow Records and buy it your damn self. I don't like Bon Jovi either but the whole point is to get a variety of music, isn't it?

The semi-randomness will come about anyways like it did during the last one, with many people sending out their mixes to whoever, and swapping with whomever. It'll take care of itself, IMO.

I mean "sorry asses" in the best way possible, you understand.

and lo! Kafkaesque did steal the 100th comment in the shocked quietness.

And the 101st!

Kaf: just saw your most recent post on the MLAAAG. it's crazy b/c I was just trying to explain that concept to my girlfriend two nights ago, as they didn't get WoF in Honduras at that point in time. She thought i was crazy. I showed her!

So that's what Ufez & his girlfriend do at night.

Post, dammit!

Grievous things are indeed afoot! The confluence of seventies game show minutia is threatening to warp the space-time continuum!

Only after hitting the early bird buffet special at Piccadilly Cafeteria. Dammit....

Shout out to Ufez and his girlfriend talking about Whell of Fortune!

umm, is lupo on vacation? the cdswap@9622.net email addy goes to him...and he hasn't spoken up as of yet. I was going to set up a different one so he wouldn't be deluged.

Or if you see this mr. lupo, you can just forward the stuff on to me and I'll handle it this time around.

Yeah! But then we, uh, go out to the bondage/swingers club. Yeah, that's the ticket! Then we, um, we get....paid, yeah Paid! People pay to watch us perform! And we make lots and lots of money! More money than, um, say, more money than Eddie Murphy got for Pluto Nash! Yeah, that's the ticket!

I fear Lupo may be *shudder* hard at work.

I don't think he's on vacation though. Let's continue to register at the cdswap address...Lupo can always forward the participants to you, TJ, if need be.

that's it, Miggsy- Nothing but a two CD set of different versions of the Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald for you.

Even the death-metal version by Jag Panzar?

If this swap is on, I, of course, am in, brothers and sisters.

Props to Bon Jovi for taking the value added approach to sell records instead of crap DRM. Someone is finally thinking beyond the copyright cops.

... but the whole point is to get a variety of music, isn't it?

Well, for me the point is to receive: a variety of new music I enjoy. I don't much care for hearing the familiar favourites, or heretofore-unheard-yet-shitty tunes. I received an album on the MefiSwap, frinstance, that contained not one song I wanted to listen to again. Every track on the disc was new to me - I recognized very few of the bands, even - but it was still terrible. What's wrong with trying to steer clear of those who wish to send me further "midtempo adult contemporary americana mixes", and towards those who want to showcase the best in bossanova, indie hip-hop or the new nordic folk movement? I don't swap mixes with all of my friends iRL - only those whose music I long to be exposed to.

This isn't an attempt to dilute the pure nature of an Internet Swap, it's simply an idea that would perhaps (for me) result in a more satisfying discovery process.

Yeah, I'm in for this one. :) Oh...during the last swap, someone posted a link to software to help novices actually do the voodoo that you do to make a playable CD.

I need that...as I have zero idea how to do the technical part. Picking the tunes...that I can do...getting it from one cd to another...that, I dunno. :)

I understand totally where you're coming from, Marquis. I have definitely gotten some stuff I never wanted...and the mixes I listen to the most come from the folks who have tastes similar to mine. But I just don't think there's a way to accomplish this sort of like-minded trading without discouraging people from participating in the swap.

Like I've said before, the only thing that bugs me about mixes is a bunch of "look how eclectic I am" stuff.

Uh, I got turned on to all sorts of new and instantly repelant yet eventually interesting things last swap, often from "look how eclectic I am mixes", so I disagree with you both.

suggesting the right artistic path is silly.

my evil twin strokes his goatee and smirks

suggesting the right artistic path is silly.

That's exactly what I'm saying.

*emerges from the darkness*

I shall return to give drubken mixology to you all once again.

And a new alias soon.

I caught some snideness towards more eclectic compilations of tunes vs. more organized and themed discs.
I'd hate to see anyone discouraged from the former because I prefer them to the later, is all.

You're right, I was being needlessly snide. What I really mean to say is do whatever the hell you want, people. No rules. Except don't eat butter by the stick.

whee! Sign me up!

Look, I'll eat my goddamned butter any-

...that's funny, I could feel my left arm this morning.

You're not going to eat butter by the stick are you?

*has stroke*

You win this round.

Bruthas 'n' sistas:

I've been off at a training session all week, so i haven't been around.

i got about 12 responses at the cdswap email address. i'll send them to tj, and i'll point the email address to him. so continue to use cdswap@9622.net to sign up.

i'm gonna sit this one out, though. i'm way too busy these days.

It's a funny name.

So, do we send our physical address to the cdswap@9622.net address now, or later, or what?

Would an administrator hope me, please?

Lupo! Why hast thou forsaken us?

oh; and werd to the wizened: i just acquired a bunch of garbage cars-derivative music put out in 1980, and GUESS WHO GETS TO LISTEN TO IT?

(well, me, for now, but soon, MAYBE YOU.)

this is going to be the most FISHFUCKERIFFIC album ever. I might even have to slip in some gay porn.

*weeps*
Lupo! Come back! I promise not to tell anyone about the marshma....., errr, nebbermind.

Gay porn?!?! *perk*

goneill, where's my cd, darling?

I was one of the jokers who sent a reply to the cdswap@9622.net address (from work, no less). I'm in. You can't keep me from spreading obscure, irrelevant '80's tunes and unlistenable a cappella to the masses. I may even throw in a Midge Ure or two this time around (props to Kaf).

One query, tho - originally, I thought this would be a little later, and might be appropriately timed for including a few off-beat holiday toonz. As it is, perhaps off-beat Halloween toonz would now be more appropriate? Or, again, do we stick to a "do your own thing" ethos?

Having missed out on 9622 #1, I don't know the kind of stuff people hated. I'm a "theme" kinda gal, so the music IS eclectic. But, say, Frank S. and Ella, and oh, I dunno, some wacky Schoolhouse Rock with a splash of RL Burnside were to reside on the same CD, is that bad? Would you hate me for it? I'm so outta the "what-the-kids-like" loop that I might be just an old fuddy, and should keep my tunes to my own damned self. Good, bad or indifferent?

Posted by: readymade on September 19, 2002 08:33 PM

i sense a little "breaker 1-9, this here's the rubber duck...." appearing on a mix i'd send out.

readymade, here's my tracklists from last time. Everybody hated them, so plan accordingly. Other folks posted their lists here and there, too, so you might be able to get some other perspectives if you poke around a bit.

'Cause we got a little convoy
Rockin' through the night.
Yeah, we got a little convoy,
Ain't she a beautiful sight?
Come on and join our convoy
Ain't nothin' gonna get in our way.
We gonna roll this truckin' convoy
'Cross the U-S-A.
Convoy!

I draw the line on "The Streak", though.

Oh yes, they call him the streak ...
fwehew! lookatthat, lookathat ...
Fastest thing on two feet ...

Foresake? Thee? Never!

(pssst. thanks, tizzie. for not telling, and for a weekend i'll never forget.) er, um...nebbermind.

Uh, guys? I know I haven't been here all week, but can I swap too? Damn, how time flies when you aren't online all damn day...(email sent)

Hi all! count me in too!

who's up for some Seasons in the Sun and Billy Don't Be a Hero? ; >

and hi b****fire ! someone said I remind them of you (it must be our matching halos!)

oooh sorry

Wow! I think that's the first triple post ever.

You are truly tampering God's domain.

I'm in the middle of a top-to-bottom redesign of my company intranet site, which means I have a migraine that's throbbing like a rhesus penis, I've got to stop every ten or fifteen minutes to run through a stupid router checklist (which I helped to design, which makes it even more annoying), I've had way too little food and way too much Coca-Cola, and it's forty-seven minutes until quitting time.

I don't have the slightest clue what I meant to type after all that. There was a point, I'm sure.

Maybe I'll remember it later, on the drive home.

*sigh*

And now I've got to type something else just so my previous post doesn't clog up the bowels of the Movable Type whatzit.

Fuck me, I'm going home and getting drubk.

I think "tampering" should be an intransitive verb, myself. "What are you doing with those files, Boss?" "I'm tampering them. Shut up." "Sweetie, the meatloaf is rotten. Would you take it out back and tamper it?" "Man, did you hear about Bob? Apparently, he got royally tampered last night."

Hey Commish, Go Tamper Yourself OK?
:)

yay me!

so can I be in the swap? huh? huh? please? please?

jon, you're hankering a tampering, aren't you?

(oh, somebody please tell her she's in - preferable somebody with both admin-type status and massive powers of grammar)

I've also got "It's a Heartbeat, It's a Lovebeat" --sung by my little brother at a bbq

(i figured it out-don't preview first)

preferably.

How embarrasing.

I'm with Lupo - I'm sitting this one out. I need time to buy and run in my burner, read the instructions, try to tidy my CDs in some serviceable manner and generally sulk about not being able to swap again with those whose musical tastes have me under their spell not getting my own way.

*huffs sullenly off*

The world is coming to an end. i just saw a Carrot Top commercial(the one for the long distance service) with a CHIMPANZEE in it.

Hi, Amberglow!

(will someone please tell this poor soul that in general being compared to me is not considered a compliment?)

oh, Kaf, I do want to hold the hand inside you. *sigh* "Fade Into You" is the new "In Your Eyes", mix-wise.

And Miguel, I am sad to miss the chance to swap with you. Still the outside chance I may get to send funnybire a disc full of caterwauling sleater-kinney/L7/PJ Harvey songs, so it's not a total loss, I guess. heh.

My email is off. I've got a CD of old Product music including the groovy hits "My bathroom is a special kind of place," by American Standards, JC Penney's "He's a Penney Man" and 7-11's "Dance the Slurp." Not that I'd inflict that anyone ...

Like we said, Amberglow. All are welcome.

Miggy, you know you're going to get my mix anyway, ya big lug.

Oh well, as long as I get yours, Kaf, that's fine. But just so y'all see how musically important I am (and to show off a bit) here is a profile of me of from today's Público (our Guardian)explaining how I single-handedly brought Portugal into the Eighties with my books, articles and record company. That's the good part about being famous - you refuse to write an article (for the premiere of "24 Hour Party People"), refuse to give an interview - in fact do little else all week but monkey about on 9622.net and still they have to publish a profile.

And here, for the purpose of mockery, is the hilarious translation.

Ah Miguel, I will never forget the dulcet tones of Joy Division's "Love will sewing press US apart... again"

Seriously, I am always impressed at your fame. We are indeed honored to have you among us, my firend.

Firend - is that like someone about to be fired?

What Kafka said, Miguel, but with more "fucks" and misspellings.

or, maybe about the same level of misspellings, and just more "fucks".

Point is, it's uniquely cool to have you here.
*simper*

I, of course, see it precisely the other way round. How do you think I get the papers to keep talking about me? I keep dangling "Look how cool I am on that Internet thing - see, the American kids of today actually hang fives on me and send me their CDs...we're talking avant-garde 9622.net here...now about those column inches..."

Here's a monkey lovers figurine for ya, handcast in resin by Italian artisans, for He Who Taught Me How To Do This And Must Live To Regret It:

Well, that's just upsetting.

Er, not to be a clod, but "hang fives" on Miguel? I'm not sure if I've ever done that, but it sounds like I might have to apologize for something. Or perhaps be really proud. I'm just not sure!

Posted by: readymade on September 20, 2002 03:38 AM

Not as upsetting as Carrot Top and a chimpanzee.

"9622: texts of delirious mood and confessional poetry. "

i know i've kind of been quiet here for the last, oh, two - three weeks, but i am totally in. and i'm not just saying that because i'm on my second smirnoff ice in ten minutes. not at all. i am going to spend the next half hour trying to figure out what email address to send my address to, and the next twenty after that trying to remember my new physical address (i now live in portland oregon. WOOT WOOT.)

also, yhbc, not everyone hated your mix. :)

so, i can swap? wee!

crash: I got your mix. sorry i didn't mention it before. came last week.

Oh readymade, you are incorrigible, you rascal! The "hanging fives" thing was a lame attempt at aping someone out-of-touch who wishes to appear "with it" by using the youngsters' language from eons ago.

b****fire -- (It was supposed to be an insult, but then someone told the person who said it not to talk ill of the departed...and that was the first time I'd heard your name) hi though!

Thanks kafka!

hangs fives to all

Checklist:
*hangs fives on Miguel*
*says what dong_resin says except with some slutty double-entendre added*
*decides to be in the swap on the odd chance that someone else likes Groucho singing Lydia the Tattoed Lady*
*swears with the best of intentions to do some work today*

I still owe you all a list of the Desert Island Books. This is how lazy I am. Like I'd get it together to like make CD's and mail them and crap! I don't even know where the nearest post office is, for chrissakes.

So, once again, I'm out. I will post my most excellent Xmas mix playlist though, when the times comes, and you can go and download the damn songs your own damn selves...

Ah, fucknard.

i promise to use the word fucknard in a sentance today.

"hi, i'd like to work for your company, in the fucknard department over there..."

OK, here's the dealio:

1. Anyone who sends an email to cdswap@9622.net(with their address!) is welcome.

2. No theme is neccessary. If you want to, that's cool too.

3. Sign up deadline is Oct. 3, I'll be emailing you guys your groups on that day

4. Your CDs should be sent out on or by Oct. 25th

5. No bitching about what should or shouldn't be included, this is about fun- not how unbelievaby hip we all are.

for monkey's sake, post already

Do the cds have to be really mixed? like with fades and beat-matching? like dj-ish?
or is just songs plopped on 'em good?

If your CD is not adequately beat-matched, it will be returned to you with a formal reprimand...

dude, however you want to do it is great. my first cd mix was so lo-tech you couldn't even hear it. you had to hold it up to the light and guess which songs they were from the pits and divots. the cover art was just a rock.

cool jpoulos...thanks!

... where united the urban depression to the philosophy of the homesickness, has asked for central office of its thesis of doutoramento ...

Priceless.

Hello, hello!? This is the Central Office! We need the Thesis of Doutoramento (Dour-amento)! And our Mommies. Stat!

6. Only professional DJ mixes will be accepted.

As Kaf is impressed by Migsy's fame, so am I impressed by dong_resin's total lack thereof. He's like the anti-fame. He is fame resistant. He has a teflon coating: no fame may stick. No matter how many times he thrusts himself into the spotlight, he forever remains in the darkness of the world's consciousness. No one can ever remember who he is or what his exploits were.

It is only through my superior powers of retention that I can recall his name from day to day. And to present a challenge to me, my friends, is quite a feat.

Dong: I salute you.

*pouts*
Migs, if you're not participating, I at least want some recommendations for fado albums.

Ooo. I just might have to pick the brains of my friends & find some stuff while I'm in Greece and Belgium in the next few weeks. Hmm. I'm realising this is something I've sadly neglected in my travels, with the possible exception of Egypt. To be remedied...

Fame? Who wants to live forever? Who wants to learn how to fly?

9622.net: high moments in texts

Alright, which one of you monkeybastards is "Pancake Overlord?"

Lebowski gave you away.

cold chef: i just searched for that phrase, so that I could proudly say, "I mailed it this morning". I'm going to spain in a few hours, and I'm not packed - but the CD is in the mail.

I was raised catholic - these months have been very hard.

All hail the Mighty Donger! He's even better than Google! Some day they're going to build cities around him!

And while I'm at it : wait...the dong? It vibrates?!

See!!! I told you those velour-suited overlords could see what's in our drawers!

*looks for new hiding place for vibrating dong*

So what you're saying, witchstone, is that you don't want me, and that I should stop sending you pictures of "The Guv'nor."

This backhanded stuff would all be very upsetting to me if eyeballkid hadn't wisely called me a "god" a few threads over.

goneill, have a safe trip. America eagerly waits your return with bags full of savory treats.

Your bags. Not America's.

i thought we were supposed to bring the beer nuts TO europe?

*smiles like the Mona Lisa whilst thinking of her vibrating dong's hiding place*

goneill, try the absinthe while you're there. Don't know if you're heading to Barcelona, but 1 glass of absinthe and Gaudi's architecture makes for some freaky cool memories...

I think both Miguel and Dong are vibratingly fishfuckeriffic.

I'm definitely using "fishfuckeriffic" in a meeting today. "Braskey, you magnificent fucknard, I've looked at these projections and I think they're absolutely fishfuckeriffic."

I challenge all of you to do the same.

like she needs to be ENCOURAGED to try some different drugular substances.

We all need a little encouragement once in a while, CC.

I need discouragement, constant discouragement. but i've tried the absynthe, and I'm not sure I'd do it again. I'm going south.

Goneill, you simply must smack yourself in the head with a brick in Madrid.
It's Coldchefelicious.

I am nothing if not a bad influence. Your mothers warned you about girls like me. :-P

No, no, no, Dong. You hit yourself in the head with a brick in Prague; Madrid is where you frollick nekkid before Picasso's Guernica screaming "I am the cheese!"

I simply don't know how to party.

smack dr in the head with a brick

the convergence of anarchohedonism is here romakimmy

mmmmm... cheese

I think I'll market a vibrator/flashlight combo and call it a Dong with a Luminous Nose. Wouldn't that be fishfuckeriffic?

Have a Spanishfishfuckeriffic trip, goneill!

And you could use it to find your keys, too.

Your mothers warned you about girls like me

*sees romakimmy in new, interesting, potentially fishfuckeriffic light*

How you doin'?

*reassesses, makes that a coldchefelicious light*

dejah420: I believe cool edit 96 and MusicMatch were mentioned, amongst others. Those are the only two I need, for all my ripping, cutting, digital effects, pasting and burning needs.

And, for fuck's sake put what you like on the CDs. Whatever. If I don't like it, I'll use it as a nostalgic beer mat, so I'll still be happy either way.

And, I loved the Bon Jovi track fishfucker. There goes my karma ...

"Braskey, you magnificent fucknard, I've looked at these projections and I think they're absolutely fishfuckeriffic."

Unclefes, that brings tears of corporate bullshit joy to my eyes. You are so coldchefelicious, you rule!

The Cheese does not frolic. It stands. Alone. Rugged, but just a touch vulnerable, in that way that makes the ladies all woobly inside.

Especially when it rolls a cigarette.

Normally, you would be correct Sig. WonderPollo. But you underestimate the effects of a Spanish doobie or three on The Cheese.

*blushes, adjusts empty suit*

*tries to insert himself into conversation*

*fails*

*locks the door and tampers with himself*

Tamper Off, Alla Youse!!

If I recall correctly, TJ's parents bought him a tamper when he was a pup.

I may not have been the first to love dong_resin but I envy whoever was.

Romakimmy: don't do anything Fado-wise till you hear from me. Send me your postal address and I'll test your capacity for suffering, I mean Fado.

Regarding Stav's fucknard. There may be no fuckwit in the Oxford English Dictionary (deep, kidney-wounding bow to Marquis and the great university that is McGill) but I discovered a very serviceable fuckwind, cross-referenced to windfucker, which sounds like Hawkwind's triple album of bass farts.

FUCKWIND /WINDFUCKER:

1. A name for the kestrel: cf. WINDHOVER.

1599 NASHE Lenten Stuffe 49 The kistrilles or windfuckers that filling themselues with winde, fly against the winde euermore.

2. fig. as a term of opprobrium.

I may not have been the first to love dong_resin but I envy whoever was.

**hears dulcet strains of "Like A Virgin" echoing through thread**

Yeah, by the way, that dong resin is used.

How used is it?

Who cleans it?

Are they licensed?

Aren't Tampers extra-strength plaid flannel Pampers for Connecticut rockers always on the go?

I was also the first to give jonmc his comeback love-in on the Blue but he seems to have forgotten it now, just because I hate Cheap Trick.

My wife thought his mix was the second best after ColdChef's - just shows how much we have in common. ;)

Who used it?

All these questions spring to mind.

Talking about used, the annoyingly infallible Gender Test has a question about which of the two words - used or moist - you least hate. It turns out that almost all women hate used, whereas some (weird!) men prefer used... Jon?

post, dammit!

dong_resin is used and moist--a combination deadly with the ladies.

We live inside of Jon's Head
We Come to Him In His Bed

Well, for the first few years, I largely used myself with the aid of the Swiss Miss girl and that Aunt Jemima bottle.
Then I became an altair boy, and things got decidedly more basic cable.
Now I'm mostly just looking for a quiet girl who likes to arm wrestle.

I categorically deny that I have ever been "on the go"...

Plus I am #20 and climbing on the all-time MeFi comments standings..I'm getting a strange sensation..

I think I'm Turning Portugese
I think I'm Turning Portugese
I think I'm Turning Portugese
I really think so...

Plus I am #20 and climbing on the all-time MeFi comments standings..

I was # 14 the first day. :P
PS, I did get tagged in the pancake thread with a sentance, go figure.

Jonmc: if you forget the "U" in "Portuguese" again, I swear I'll, well Vaporize you!

Ok. I have a new burner and some mp3s that are just itchin' to be burned. How the hell do I get started?

Miguel, how could anyone ever forget the "you" in Portuguese? ;-)

U or non-U?

gads, I'm such a lit nerd.

you know - that thing (the contribution index) should work more like batting averages in baseball do.

My last cd was created using Acid 3.0, Nero, .ogg/.mp3 and a big dollop of love. Except for the copy I recently sent to Migs. That was sent with sincerity and punctuality.

And what a beaut it was. Haven't you yet...received my grateful goodies, Matt? Damn!

No, I haven't yet. I keep checking the mail and returning to the apartment disappointed and with reddened eyes.

I don't know if I ever gushed enough over your cd, eyeball, but it was easily the best produced one I got.
Everything the same volume, no dead air, and a meaningful song order.
it's a work of art.

Miguel, I just got your two cds.. I can't wait to hear `em.

Is that U and I, Marquis?

I can say the same for yours dong. I am still, as I've previously mentioned, frequently haunted by "You're soaking in it... dong resin!"

"You're soaking in it... dong resin!"

I always wondered if that wasn't a reference to some sort of Fight-Club-inspired practical joke. "If you're holding this CD, you're much...closer to DR than you realize."

please post.

I'll post when I feel like it you whiny beyatch.

Quiet, child.

Hi, HAL(9622server), glad to know your a cyber-monkey too.

Don't make me bitch slap you.

Don't make me bitch slap you.

Colossus, honey, leave the lower level computers alone.

*Huey, Dewey & Louie give all the big brains the finger*

heh.

I like you people.

Yeah, but you also like Counting Crows, so what does that say about us? ;)

Feh.

That you are all egotistical, talentless asshole poseurs.

Can someone put me up in their house on the east coast somewhere so I don't keep missing the best absurd conversations? I don't smell (much) and I only eat a little. Just keep me in beer and cigarettes and I'm golden. Thanks!

Big hanging of the fivers to Miguel, you big hipster!

And by "Feh" I mean "fuck everyone here."

No, not really. I love you. Just...you know...bad day.

Well, it rubbed off. I went downstairs to find my fucking car towed and no phone number posted to track it down.

!@#%^&*!

9622: egotistical, talentless asshole poseurs

Brittney, I just spilled my coffee.
Now, that's a whole fresh cup, gone, but you don't hear me whining.








whimper...coffee....

Brittney that sucks. *splat* on the tow truck driver and his truck.

$75 to tow an economy car?!

I take it back--you all suck.

$75 to tow a car barely worth that much?!

I take it back--you all suck.

OF COURSE...of course, it double posted.

You are all witnessing a meltdown.

How did you know about my palour trick with the tennis ball and garden hose?!

((hugs brittney))

*lives blissful carless existence*

I do miss singing in my car, though.

parlour. I'm not drubk, but my fingers are sure acting like it.

Brittney, it'll be OK.

Hell, if the car's not worth that much, report it stolen and get a new one. "Tow truck? What tow truck? I came out here and my car was gone, Officer."

*head whips back around to romakimmy*

You never said how you was doin', dollface...?

Say, thanks, guys.
Sorry I said you all suck, it's just been a horrible day.
I'm especially sorry for you, dong_resin. Yours is the real tragedy this day.
Was the coffee that ethiopian stuff you like so much? That probably left a huge embarrassing stain.
What a heinous waste. It's not fair.
Disturbingly purple cars that look like teletubbies come and go, but good coffee is so few and far between.
What did Henry Rollins once say, that it's easier to get a bullet in this country than a decent cup of coffee? It was only too true.
I'm really, really sorry for you.

I'm off to take a long, hot, sexy bath now, and try to forget all about the coffee and that other thing, whatever it was.

it's a lot harder to get a hot, sexy bath in this country than bullets or good coffee.

I would take a long, hot, sexy bath, but I am not long, hot or sexy.

Sorry I ruined your day Brittney. And you were being so nice.
