I slept outside that same Salamander member's house for months.

I post on the same message board (or two actually) as sun city girl, who basically is the embodiment of the "skene". and I've seen him in person.

I went to school in Choctaw with members of:

Traindodge and Gunfighter.

other than that, I live in the same town as a bunch of crappy bands, chief crappy band being the Flaming Lips. What a bunch of douchebags.

Cue scathing screamingskull usernote in 3...2...1...

Mostly noise bands. Yellow Swans, Goslings, shit like that. Connected with Murder by Death a little bit, even though I don't like them. I almost got into a fight with a member of Devil Wears Prada, some shitty scene band. Me and Jamie Stewart used to email each other. Me and Little Jimmy Urine from MSI email each other still every now and then. The guy from Racebannon is in my town. My ex-girlfriend fucked the drummer of My Chemical Romance about 5 1/2 years ago. I met MONG HANG. Shit like that. Nothing big, I guess.............

And yeah, I was being serious about the My Chemical Romance thing.

Um.. I have met Bill Gates and Steve Albini though. That's probably more interesting than any of the above stuff, haha...

I would like to state that ChocolateJesus was not paid or offered any sort of compensation for the above statement.

we here at Slowly Corp wouldn't dream of making the type of disparaging remarks that were posted above regarding any person or persons associated with Lovely Sorts of Death.

shame on you, ChocolateJesus. shame on you.

:)

Not so hard to imagine, after all.

I have introduced three members of this board to members of the band "Sonic Youth".

Or I suppose I could turn things around and say that I have introduced all four members of the band "Sonic Youth" to members of this board.

You don't include that pic of me and Kim you shot at Roundhouse to that list, do you?

I used to work with a guy from a great band that none of you will have heard of because they are so 'hip' and/or 'scene'.

Oh, and I totally met Thurston Moore at ATP '06. We connected, you know? We're collaborating on new material which should be released in the Fall.

Waaaaaaaaaay back when (according to family lore) my siblings and I (yet wrapped in swaddling clothes) were playmates of none other than some guy from some famous band called Jimmy Eat World.

y'all would get jealous so i'm gonna keep my big mouth shut
also not into namedropping

Oh, I forgot. Probably the most cool/indie one I can mention: I interviewed Ches' Smith from Congs for Brums and Xiu Xiu. He was really cool. Afterwords, he introduced me to Jamie Stewart and I proposed to Jamie. It was cute. Then, David and I went outside and smoked a cigarette and didn't say anything. I felt so hip.

Also, I saw P.O.S. and Cancer in this little shit town like an hour away from where I live. The guy from Cancer needed bud and I found him a bag of the danks afterwords. We smoked a bowl together. They weren't really anything special. Just some wannabe-rhymesayers band. P.O.S. is the shit, though.

Namedropping makes you so cool.

I'm connected to a ton of bands, but saying why would be in disreguard to the privacy of the people who connect me to such bands.

DEVO
Don Caballero
Rapeman
Shellac
Big Black
Jesus Lizard
Scratch Acid
Pavement
Sarah McLaughlin (haha I know, apparently my mom's cousin is married to her sibling)

Nick Cave

Hair Police-We are friends & live in the same town

i know one of the more well known people from the london improv scene to say hi to, but his name probably wouldn't mean much to anyone aside from glice.

I suspect I know the same person in the same capacity, as well as a few other people from the same scene from the same place in the same capacity. Rubbish.

yeah, but that's the best i can do. not that i really give a shit about any of the people here saying they know so&so, unless porkmarras can get me in there with diamanda galas that is.
