Cherry Bomb
00:05 / 30.04.02
In terms of the pet shop boys, however, who has the looks and who has the brains I wanna know?
 
 
Ganesh
08:45 / 30.04.02
And when are we gonna make lots of money?
 
 
The Return Of Rothkoid
09:03 / 30.04.02
Does that mean you'll start paying my rent, too?
 
 
Ganesh
18:34 / 30.04.02
No, I already took you to a restaurant on Broadway and bought you caviar.
 
 
The Return Of Rothkoid
20:10 / 30.04.02
Tsk. West. End. Boys.

To continue with shameless {self, other} promotion, and speed up the run to the end, here are today's 3 x 3:

m3 is Alice Donut, grotus, and negativland

{0, 1, 2} is ADD N TO (X), einsturzende neubauten, and coil

modthree is beastie boys, face to face, and Love and Rockets

I did a poll on my lj - "which band am I?", using all the suggestions for me here (bratmobile, veruca salt, dolly parton [TWICE!!!], ex-girl, save ferris, and hanoi rocks), based on a picture and the name (Im too technologically slow to figure out how to add sound).

and although Ive only so far gotten 11 submissions, an overwhelming majority (5 "hell yeah"s and 2 "similar"s) prefer cherrys pick of veruca salt (doing seether)
 
 
Disco is My Class War
09:50 / 05.05.02
I think I have to remedy this situation. Crunchy *cannot* be Madonna. Cyndi Lauper maybe, but not Madonna. Actually I think Aaliyah is better. (Trust me...)

Meanwhile:

plums = Peaches on a good day, Cobra Killer on a 'bad' day
Cherry Bomb = 'Kini Kill
sfd = Team Dresch
Flyboy = The Coup in a serious moment, or Jay-Z
grant = Smog
Haus = Queen (in a *good* way!)
Rizla = Flaming Lips
Deva = Le Tigre
Kali = Chrissie Hynde
Ganesh = Deborah Harry
Flux = The Fall
Tom = Madonna
moi = Gravy Train!!! (I am honoured to be likened to Patti Smith, though.)
 
 
Ganesh
10:30 / 05.05.02
Ooh! Deborah Harry! I'm very happy with that one...
 
 
rizla mission
17:06 / 05.05.02
And I'm changing Riz's...to At the Drive In

I'm honoured by that one, but I don't think I'm up to the job .. I hadn't even considered the concept of the Roman Empire colonising space until I read their lyrics sheet..
 
 
Ganesh
23:56 / 05.05.02
Mister Disco, your hair is beautiful... tonight...

And don't you disss gorgeous Gareth, Glinty one! He did a splendid job of Mack the Knife for a mere stripling. You just have that Tadzio-freshness about you. Make the most of it. It fades... - ZoCher

So you know, you sound like some strange, wordy, complimentay-to-me form of the Year 6's who go on my bus...

I'm not used to being compared to people that brats aged about 12 find attractive. It's quite strange...

*bump*

1) for all of the newbies that want to get a feel for who's who here & 2) because it was a great thread.
 
 
that
18:56 / 18.08.02
Oh my. I've just noticed. That was very sweet of Ierne... but I'm sooo not worthy.
 
 
moriarty
19:01 / 18.08.02
Wow. Just noticed that Cop Killer said I was Venom. Thanks! I had a funny dream a few nights back where I was doing some Maiden kareoke and dedicated Only The Good Die Young to CK.

I'd play the game, but I hate music. Now, if this was a comics related thread...
 
 
Seth
19:27 / 18.08.02
I'm sorry... you hate music? As in all music? As in with intense dislike?

Good lord.
 
 
Jack The Bodiless
19:42 / 18.08.02
Sav threw me an Adam And The Ants. And Cavatina cited me and Nick Cave.

I love you both. With body parts and wetness.

Not so sure about MC, spooky and myself as Mr. Bungle, Rothkoid, whatever era... However, on the board, you, sir, are clearly Henry Rollins on valium. No doubt about it.
 
 
Ganesh
22:59 / 18.08.02
Having finally got around to listening to Fischerspooner, I'd have to say they're Haus - if only in an 'are they taking the piss or do they actually mean it to sound like that' kind of way...
 
 
Wrecks City-Zen
23:28 / 18.08.02
*** sniff, sniff ***

No one can come up with a band for me?

I mean even Kn----r got nominations. May Tricks got 2!

Who gets to be Wierd Al?

Sigh. I guess that'll do.

(Feeling dejected...slightly)
 
 
Seth
23:53 / 18.08.02
Rex, you can be Showaddywaddy.
 
 
Solitaire Rose as Tom Servo
02:08 / 19.08.02
I just noticed that I was listed as Slayer, the first band I disliked because the kids at the group home would play them to piss off grownups.

Piffle to all of you, I still say I am Jethro Tull.

And getting to know Bitchiekittie a bit better, she's VERY Bangles, which is a good things.

Trijhaos is the Ramones
 
 
STOATIE LIEKS CHOCOLATE MILK
04:44 / 19.08.02
'sallright, Rex... looks like I'm not musical either!
 
 
Loomis
08:12 / 19.08.02
Come on Stoatie - surely no one needs to point out the obvious fact that you are Billy Idol.
 
 
rizla mission
08:57 / 19.08.02
Rothkoid, whatever era... However, on the board, you, sir, are clearly Henry Rollins on valium. No doubt about it.

Actually, I'm wondering how nobody's previously realised that Rothkoid is The Birthday Party - he's even got the Australia/London connection!

And how come Trijhaos gets to be the Ramones? Bah. No fair.

Mod Three should be Rick Wakeman, which I mean in the nicest possible way, Rex should be The Residents, and since I'm on a roll..

Barry Auckland = Herman Dune
Meme Buggerer = Teenage Fanclub
Stoatie = makes me think "The Jesus Lizard!" for some reason..

curse this thread.
 
 
Shortfatdyke
09:13 / 19.08.02
Not very good at this game, but for ages I was convinced that Stoatie was Dick, the singer with fab anarcho band The Subhumans and now Citizen Fish (I think). Thankfully I didn't bring some records along to a meet for signing....
 
 
The Return Of Rothkoid
11:40 / 19.08.02
Suds comes across as kinda Stereolab, for some reason.
From Mazarine, I get a kinda Tea Party meets Martha Stewart vibe. In a good way.

Since dyeing it last night - and getting it cut - I do now have Hank Hair again, though. But I'm more tempted by the idea of BP... now THAT is rockin'. I've got the requisite amounts of bile within to move back, assault audiences, take lots of smack and eventually reach literary singerly godhood. Hmmm.
 
 
Jack The Bodiless
14:00 / 19.08.02
You need more old testament quotin' and Southern Fried Gothic, my friend. Plus we want to hear how you yelp first.

Ummm... I can only think of a few right now...

Haus is Sparks (lasciviously reptilian and yet enticingly gamine).
shortfatdyke is the Dead Kennedys (hardcore politics with killer hooks and a sense of humour).

Rizla, you'll always be the Ramones to me.
 
 
Mazarine
20:06 / 19.08.02
-spits out a mouthful of Earl Gray and hides stock portfolio-
It's a lie! A damned lie!
 
 
Wrecks City-Zen
00:41 / 22.08.02
Aw, Rizla... thanks.


Hey!
Are you calling me 4 eyes?
 
 
Shortfatdyke
12:20 / 22.08.02
Not a band, but -

I recently saw a photograph of the wonderous and amazing Spanish film director Pedro Almodovar (he of 'All About My Mother' and 'Women on the Edge of a Nervous Breakdown' amongst others) and thought:

yes, this is ZoCher!
 
 
Wrecks City-Zen
21:54 / 22.08.02
Chairman Maominstoat:" 'sallright, Rex... looks like I'm not musical either! "

No...

You will be Frank Sinatra

Chairman of the board
 
 
paw
11:16 / 25.08.02
Yes! it's another suggestion for haus!

Haus: Imperial march from Empire Strikes Back because, the more i think about it, haus is darth vader, people are either scared of him, kiss his ass or want to destroy him
 
 
The Apple-Picker
12:17 / 25.08.02
Ouch, I would not take that as a compliment. So, no ass-kissing here. And only a fool would tempt the wrath of Darth Vader.

You have revealed yourself, rebel scum!
 
 
paw
12:25 / 25.08.02
hey apple. I don't think we've been formally introduced
 
 
paw
12:28 / 25.08.02
yeah but have you seen vaders tie fighter? thats one serious cruising machine
