I'm going to bed, I've a nine o'clock lecture on the morrow

Still haven't had a shower

Wondering if i'm rivalling nooly for "talks lots on internet and not at all in real life" shebang

and feeling sorry for anyone who reads this thread!

 

[Ed]

Get your cock out, lads. Looks like there's gonna be a bitch fight.

 

[spuded]

just to clarify liadian, i slag everyone's taste in music, sure mine can be pretty dodgy too, if i started a post talking bout my billy idol obsession (got the dancing with myself 7" in the post two days ago with the dodgyiest cover ever), or if i started wining bout why 999 and Peter and the Test Tube Babies were good, or if i started goin on about deicide and cannibal corpse or some of the gore-grind shite i like then i'd expect with the way this forum goes a little bit of abuse. I slag people about music, ask damo how many times i've given him shit for being at a kula shaker gig, I love that guy but i still can rip the piss out of him.

In regards to personal shit in ur life im sorry if thing aint bein goin well but i dont think that by post should be lumped in with all that stuff, i havent been postin as much on this thing for the last while because i have a lot of werid shit goin down right now, but that is not something i would expect extra nice treatment for, everyone suffers and has their own shite to deal with and i dont expect people to make exceptions for me because of that. Anyway.

Okay, now you're talking like cormac aswell. My mental picture just got seriously weirder.

You see my influence even extends to Dublin, soon you will all be under my spell.

rival? no way, my posts are quality! keep yr cock in your trousers oly.

 

[no_exit]

some people may disagree, but i actually think that nooly's posts are often times more amusing than oly's.

 

[Super Dexta]

That's because oly doesn't really exist, he's just a sub-genre of nooly.... as you can see from the coded message in her name...


nooly = no oly

spooky

while people are bitching about bands, what about the masters of smug self-righteousness Catharsis and their CrimeThinc cronies?! if they had their way we'd all be wearing patato sacks and anybody with an annual income of over fifty notes would be burned at the stake.

When we supported them in Limerick i asked the guitarist how the tour was going and she literally, i'm not joking here, started immediately ranting about sexism in hardcore. And when i offered to help carry a huge amp with her, she said "guys arent the only ones who can carry amps." what the fuck like!?

and what about the time they ignored Noel's flatmate (even though he was putting them up), just because the poor bastard worked for Four Star Pizza?

good music, granted, but fuck off and get a fucking life like.

 

[the strange guy]

Had you read any Crimethinc(R) or met any of the Crimethincers(TM) here you would not be surprised to learn that they are total cunts who take themselves and their self imposed rules far too seriously.

Girls, I can confirm that I am merely a manifestation of Nooly's imagination. I fooled you all! Stupid pricks! HAHAHAHA!

 

[Super Dexta]

That's pretty much the polar opposite of how i heard catharsis' attitude in cork described... this was permy's impression of them, and i quote: "man, you guys have cable tv! we had cable for six months and it was the best six months of my life man" after noel or someone had been worrying that they'd kill him for owning a tv or something.

The Joy of unsubstantiated rumours that perpetuate themselves for... two and a half years now!

 

[the strange guy]

I bet they didn't mention the hard-ons they get for guns to anyone.
Funny how they'd probably shoot you if you ever got a hard on for their guitarist.

 

[spuded]

yeah militancy is all the rage with the kids these days, tut tut poor auld crass....anyway those fools in catharsis aint got shit on the amebix, the amebix were metallers, aren't all the best bands really.

 

[nooleen]

some people may disagree, but i actually think that nooly's posts are often times more amusing than oly's.

i've often thought so, yes. i put myself into fits of laughter. in fact i'm only interested in other people's threads as a vehicle for my comic genius.

just like drop dead fred.

ah, i know these things gain arms and legs as theyre retold, but have you ever read the harbinger or any of that other crazy crimethinc crap? its all this fucking "bomb the capitalist" shit, the kind of bollocks that isolated 15 year old boys with bad acne and marilyn manson t-shirts spout when they first read a socialist party maifesto leaflet.

in fairness, youre right, the thing about four star pizza is second hand, but my experience of them in limerick was so ridiculous. oh and i forgot to say this yesterday, but when we were packing up after playing with them, some random guy came up to their guitarist and the conversation went like this:

random punter: hey, cool gig, i've actually been playing bass in a band who are kinda like ye for a while

catharsis person: why the fuck do people always assume that girls can only play bass in a band?

random punter: eh, i know you're the guitarist. I was just talking about playing in a band.

and then, about a month later i read an interview with her in Reason TO Believe (another fucking bollocks "smash the state" zine) and they asked her what instances of sexism she encountered at gigs, and she said "people who assume i'm the bass player, and people offering to help carry gear" among other things... what the fuck like

people like that create problems for themselves, and draw hostility from people with their attitude, rather than forgetting about differences (which by the way they're so fucking obsessed with overcoming, even though 99% of people couldnt give a crap) and just enjoying themselves.

i know hardcore is extremely sexist at times, so i'm dismissing the whole subject before somebody mailbombs my house, i'm just talking about that case in particular

 

[Alan Remorse]

arrgh, shit, that was supposed to be "I'm NOT dismissing the whole subject"... commence the mailbombing

Dunno about the rest of what you said but people assuming the only female member is the bass player is extremely irritating when it happens. Don't think it's ever happened to me personally though - closest was someone saying "oh, you're the only girl in the band, are you the bass player, funny ha ha, joke" etc and me going "eh.. yeah..." which is kind of the complete opposite really, so never mind...

I dunno i do think yer one had a point in the interview. But I can understand how her articulation of that point of view to you would hardly endear her to you.

Reason to believe's not that bad though! I guess you're entitled to your opinion but I do feel like you're writing it off a bit hastily?

liiadain - we could swap if you like...can you play DA KILLAH LICKZ THO!?

ps - andy and jamie:

 

[brianMy Remorse]

basically we could settle this right now by saying that girls just cant play guitar.
There, done it. Thats exactly what your one from Catharsis WANTS you to say, and if you dont say it, she'll imagine you said it anyway just so she can launch into her pre-learned off spiel about sexism and the oppression of women in hardcore.
Same goes for anyone who is blindly consumed with their chosen gripe or what not. All they are interested in is getting their views out at the first opportunity, and if that moment isnt coming soon enough they create it. being honest i dont think ive experienced any discrimination against girls at gigs here.
