Blog-sourcing the question.

  3. fling the pieces out the windows at passing cars?
  4. Other.

  3. yes, but he doesn't like tequila, so that falls to me.

    Actually, I attacked the thing with an array of devilish implements.

    Speaking of nothing apropo, would you recommend The Clean?

  4. Teh Clean are good, though I don't know enough music-crit words to describe precisely what king of good. Every so often they get together to tour, and all us old farts dress up in our tattered leather jackets and crowd into small pubs to spill beer over one another.

  5. Why don't you just make up words like you do on your blog?

    At least you did not express agony and disdain for my lack of The Clean in my collections, AS SOME OTHERS I MIGHT MENTIONZ.

    I suspect this differs little from your typical eveningzez.

  6. what king of good

    Actually, "King of Good" might be a good use of Music Critic Wurdz.

  7. Consider yourself agonised and disdained.

    Most eveningzez the Frau Doktorin stay home while we dress in leather and spill beer over each other.

  8. Consider yourself agonised and disdained.

    hmpf. I already added The Clean Anthology to the devil-box. Unusually, it was cheaper on iTunes than eMusic.

    Sounds like a cross between Galaxie 500 and Joy Division.

    which works for me, actually.

    some actor might express interest, inquire after your website, and ask to subscribe to your newsletter.

  11. Every so often they get together to tour

    One reason why Teh Clean do not get together as often as they should is that they're all also involved in other bands. Small talent pool and all that.

    Bob Scott, for instance, also plays in The Bats. Whose records you should also buy.

    So who's playing a gig in town tonight? Why that would be The Bats.
    Do not expect live-blogging.

  12. Concert was not so much about leather jackets and more about plaid bush-shirts and trucker caps. Dancing was not so much manic bouncing around like frogs in a blender, more of the rhythmic swaying sea-anemone-tentacle style.

    Bob Scott is my age but he does not look a day over 49-and-a-half.

    If I only had one of these web-blog things where I could rant about concerts rather than as comments on someone else's blog.

  13. we all have regrets, Smut. I hear that sometimes, a cereal bowl of bourbon can help stop the tears.

    Too bad it's such a long swim from Upside-Downy land to Milwaukee. I'd like to watch this "Bob Scott" guy, if that is his real name, bash the crap out of some musical instruments.

    Whoa, I thought you had eleventy-billion songs on your 'pod.

    Ah, the "don' wanna tear meniscus" dance.

    The safe word is "trebuchet".

  16. Mr Scott does not "bash the crap" out of his guitar, sir. We are talking about complex harmonic structures and equally complex time signatures. Under NZ law I am legally obliged to mention "jangly guitars" at least once while discussing Dunedin-Sound bands like the Bats. But the guitars follow one tempo, while the vocals have a second, slower tempo, while percussion and bass have a third interlocking tempo of their own. This makes them a muso's band rather than a band with a huge fanatical following.

    Have I mentioned jangly guitars?

    W/v is "briber", but honestly I would write nice things about them even if they hadn't paid me with shiny milk-bottle-tops.

  17. 5. Use it as part of a monument protesting APPLE TYRANNY.

  18. excellent idea, Mandos.

    So, you'll just be sending me your address so I can wing it to you and you can add it to yours, then?

  19. The votes are tabulated.

    Drunken Art Project it is. Spending on the time of day, and whether I am using Smag's bourbon bowl, addition of fingers and toes may be optional.

  20. I blame the typos on Steve Jobs. And, of course, fish.
