"You're a mess"

"I like it!"

That was very funny.

as was this ep

fucking pissed myself at your cutting on the subway joke :D

Aw thank you.

go fuck yourself <3

Did you notice his look of utter sexual frustration, tension, and desire when he kept looking at Emily?

C'mon Danny just make sweet love to her and get it over with.

(don't mention your 3-way and other tales of debauchery)

I bet he was picturing her on all 4's wearing nothing but a collar with "Huggsy" bedazzled onto it.

Oh dear. You took it to an all-low level.

And I like it.

Spoiler: Keet's reaction to Danny's story despite Chemda loving it.

Classic.

I'm taking it in.

Keith's a method listener.

Do more readings Danny - your writing is really damn good and you'll only get better at reading out loud the more you do it.

Guess I should have waited and I would have seen that Emily would butt in and give way better feedback than I ever gave.

No, it's better that you didn't wait.

Hearing a man's opinion is always better than listening to some chick.

Phew, thanks cobber, I was really beating my self up about it until you put it in perspective like that.

It's always nice to know whenever you visit the KATG forums your old pal Scummo is around to offer an encouraging word.

Feel free to use terms like "Guru", "Sage" or "tosser" :D

Happy fucking Friday

Moar Emily please!

It's no lie peeps, the audio is gold, but the video is even better. And what's better than gold? No, not Judy Gold you idiot, gold gold. Ah, forget I asked.

Anyway, what about this bit:

"What part made you cry?"
"I didn't cry."
"What part do you think made me cry?"

Without missing a fucking beat. SO FUCKING GOLD!!!

OK.

This is why I love your cold, dead heart.

Not in a gay way, I don't want to fuck it. The logistics alone would be complicated.

Alas that something so mundane as logistics should stand in the way of our love being consumated.

"I'm a walking trip to military school" is brilliant.

Someone suggesting that there is "too many metaphors" aka good writing...not so much.

Piff old bean, I disagree that there is no such thing as too many metaphors but I agree that "I'm a walking trip to military school" is brilliant. So how am I supposed to decide whether to like the post or not?

Oh look, a Jesus Lizard quote in your sig.

LIKE.

I'm not sure you can teach someone how to write a good/ original metaphor; or an analogy for that matter. Danny has a gift with words. His writing being critiqued out of left field was just kind of odd.

O to the motherfucking G. Just got turned onto The Jesus Lizard's 'Pure' and holy fuck! Abrasive. Loud. Beautiful.

Also, I was trying to plagiarize the nerdy-ness of certain Mountain Goat fans.

I think you can have gift of a mind for metaphor the same way a cinematographer can have a gift of an eye for framing or an architect can have a gift of vision for 3D spaces, but that doesn't mean it's not useful for a gifted person to receive feedback from someone who knows the game, and she seems like she knows that game. It was "odd" in this case in that it was unexpected, but it was also "odd" funny, because of Danny's other gift of creative jokery and comedic timing.

The funniest interview I've ever heard wasn't with a comedian but with David Yow when The Jesus Lizard came to NZ in the mid-late 90s. He came on Auckland's student radio station, at least half cut, a couple of days before they were to play a festival sharing the bill with Rage Against The Machine and about 85% of the 12-15 minute interview was Yow pretty much roasting RATM mercilessly. "Objectively" it probably was less funny that some comedian interviews but I've always remembered it because it was so unexpected and it was the first interview I ever heard which had me bent double with laughter.

At the start of their set a couple of days later, on a huge stage in a big stadium at about 5 in the arvo on a summer's eve, The Jesus Lizard kicks into gear and David Yow walks from the back of the stage to the front of the stage, then just keeps walking out onto the heads and hands of the crowd, all while delivering his particularly David Yow-type of vocal performance. They proceeded to blow RATM off the stage and I proceeded to become a fan for life.

Whoa. That's so badass! Love me some David Yow. Never had the privilege of seeing them live. Hope to some day. Don't know if they're even a band or tour any more.

I did see Jesus Lizard's guitarist a couple years ago in the band Th' Legendary Shack Shakers. It was a great show. Their lead singer is kind of a punk/rockabilly/blues version of David Yow. Actually, he is compared to Jello Biafra of old. Just a great, fun lead singer. Got their album and wasn't terribly impressed, but highly recommend them live. Energy x 2 + Stage Presence.

Oh. So, I was gonna get Duane's signature and what not. I'm like "Hey, I'm a big Jesus Lizard fan - can I buy ya a beer?" He gave me the most disgusted look and was like 'Got a bowl?' I didn't. 'Well let me go backstage and change, I'll be out"

Lol. I never saw him again. Meanwhile, the lead singer has got 2 chicks and signing shit and taking pics and everyone's best friend.

I think about that show. The fact everyone but Duane was pouring sweat, rocking, having fun. He was just kind of standing there. Shuffling through chords with zero emotion. He seemed like a child at a guitar lesson. Just going through the motions...

I noticed he was playing a white electric First Act guitar, which is a shit, cheap-o Walmart thing. I don't think he's happy. I think he's broke and wishing Jesus Lizard were still around. Anyways.

Hey, have you ever seen any shows in the States? You into 'Les Savy Fav' at all?

What are some good New Zealand bands?

That's going to be a fucking short list.

The 2nd shortest list in the world.

With the shortest being "Great Jewish Sporting Legends"

Perhaps there's a correlation between me posting drunk on an internet forum and everyone hating me...nah. Prolly not.

It's important to commit to not posting shite whilst drunk.

Definitely not a correlation between you posting drunk and people hating you.

People probably hate you just for you :D


Ahh fuck it, my love for you is too strong. How could anyone hate you, piffobby???

eu contraire piffette - posting shite while drunk is the best time to post shite

@campy can correct my filthy Frog spelling if needed :D

Haven't been to the States yet cobber but I think The Jesus Lizard are playing in Aus in October so may get across for that if the situation permits. And yep, I dig me some Les Savy Fav when the mood strikes. Haven't seen them live yet though.

As for NZ bands, if you go for The Jesus Lizard you just might dig some Head Like A Hole from the early-mid 90s ...

Sometimes I wonder what my forum name would sound like if raped by a smurf from France...

I bet Piffette sounds pretty cool in Aussie. I can hear Jim Jeffries saying it now. "So there I was. About to fuck ol' Piffette there..."

Rape down under must be wonderful. The sandy beaches by sunset and all.

Bucho, that 'Comfortably Shagged' song aint bad. I don't like the name though. 'Head Like A Hole' sounds like a Nine Inch Nails cover band.

Remember that show Flight of the Conchords? I fucking miss that show.

If it weren't for alcohol I'd rarely post. It only becomes a real problem if you constantly have to look at the previous day and ask yourself, Jesus Christ what dim-whitted horseshit did I say yesterday that today I have to defend myself?

It's a vicious cycle.

Raping (or just fucking) on the beach is shit. Sand gets into places...


I fucking hear that, brother.

I never liked the name much either but plenty of bands use song titles of other artists to name their band so I never get the covers vibe. I mean, maybe The Rolling Stones seemed like a Bob Dylan cover band back to some folks in the day but I'll never know. There's just no way to find out.

Speaking of name things, this is probably NZ's numero uno rock band, Shihad, named after Frank Herbert's Dune apparently. I've never read it or seen the movie but the band is one of the best live acts I've ever seen. They also blew Rage Against The Machine off the stage the same day Jesus Lizard did. This might make me sound like a RATM hater. I'm not. Jesus Lizard and Shihad were just that damn good.




I miss Flight of the Conchords too but I'm glad they quit when they felt like it instead of doing what way to many other sitcoms do and milking a dead horse. Or beating a cow. Neither course of action sounds like fun to me.

This ^^^^

Mainly the quitting on your own terms, but I'm also generally opposed to the milking of dead animals or the beating of live ones.

Generally.

This is why there is no more Chappelle Show. Well said, Scummy.

Shihad sounds like Shitty Jihad. Not bad, though. It's pretty hard to top British/ but mostly American punk. I'm biased though.

You guys see that documentary on Netflix 'What We Do is Secret' It's about Darby Crash from the Germs? It was pretty good. Something about NYC punk. I could say the same about NYC hip hop. There is a certain kind of depravity that exists there. It's a pre-requisite for art. London might have this to some degree as well.
