Plaid B2M...
by eric marden 17 Nov '03

17 Nov '03

Check out Nicolette's DJ Kicks compilation. It's her selection, but ed and andy mixed it. Only commerical release I know of, of them dj-ing. There are a couple of other mixes floating around, but they're way early stuff and are mixture of original and dj-ed musics. I've got a bunch of plaid stuff on mp3 outside their comercial releases. .. :| eric :| :| www.xenlab.com/JOINxnlab/ :| enlightenment thru evolution ..

Drunk W/Plaid, Luke, Chris Clark and Portlannah pt.2
by Matt Stiffler Schieffer 17 Nov '03

............hadta break it up into two pieces,, not unlike a big shit, so it would flush Sunday morning I awoke w/a hangover and an autographed Plaid Trainer album w/ a bite out of the side of it (drunk trying to tear plastic off) wondering what the fuck i just did last night. Then it dawned on me... I had behaved badly w/the best musicians I know of... just another night as matt schieffer. So I have this habit of going to my favorite musicians shows and getting nervous to meet them so I g et drunk and am annoying. My buddy in the neigboring cubicle had a birthday this weekend and he drunkenly stood up and pointed out a pro-hockey player in attendence, who, slightly miffed, was later seen taking pictures w/little kids on his lap and shit later on. The important distinction between me and my budy's encounters w/fame are that at least its at a show and not while some1 is eating their artichoke dip in peace. Ahhh, any other stories would comfort me. Do you think this causes undue stress on our 'zicians? Like when you handle a bird too much its mom won't take it back? Somebody else musta made an ass out of themselves in front of some1 important? PS when is Plaid getting a B2M? I am going to see a b2m favorite (see underworld b2m, Autechre A.T.P etc) Dr Octagon on Wed.. Mc pittman eat your arse out (actually not heard him yet).

Drunk W/Plaid, Luke, Chris Clark and Portlannah pt.1
by Matt Stiffler Schieffer 17 Nov '03

17 Nov '03

Enjoyed the fuck out of Luke Vibert and Plaid this weekend in Minneapolis. I got there late to really see Chris Clark but got a Tog and he sorta drew on the skull face-fucking logo thing for me. I was really pissed and was hitting on his comely assistance Portlannah who actually was very fucking cool to me. If you look on the back of his CD you'll see her name (turn out the lights, Why? Romance). We talked about wether or not Mira Calix was pretty, or bitchy or single (cuz I want to marry in to the Warp clan and I dunno if Weatheral accepted my marriage proposal yet.... so plan ahead). Turns out yes to all but the last... she's dating an Autechre bloke/ this caused me to exault loudly: WHERE ARE ALL THE IDM WHOOOORES?!! I picked up Plaid Spokes Fri and like it.. . Whoever said you need to listen a couple times.... was right... it gets better. Portlannah talked me into buying Trainer and assured me I might be able to snag an autograph. I hung out by the magic bus and sorta harrassed Vibert telling him some drunken made-up story about how my mom found a Wagonchrist CD and kicked out me outta the house. I seem to potray the obnoxious-American role well cuz he looked slightly ammused and largely irritated. I was told Plaid went to ge the pizza (think about that phrase?) so I scoured the nearby haunts for some skinny-englishmen w/frail arms and turtlknecks. I thought I was SOL when suddenly I spotted 3-4 guys w/pizza boxes. I yelled ANDY!! and he turned in shock. I told him and Ed that there band was horse-cocks and they looked hurt, then i said sorry just kidding i need an autogrph. Ed was quiet and meek, Andy was super tolerant of my drunk ass (LX once yelled at me remember, for being drunk & loud) I told him I was a huge Orbster and they turned me on to warp and such. He said "Yeah, I know Kris Weston" and I was almost beside myself w/grief for the man. "Yeah, I know of him too... I wrote some dirty limmericks for him." "Yeah," Andy asked, "Did he like em?" I knew then the partying had robbed my brain of much needed oxygen and couldnt speak. They were cool about discussing Black Dog and Ken and shit b4 leaving to eat pizza on the bus. _________________________________________________________________ Compare high-speed Internet plans, starting at $26.95. https://broadband.msn.com (Prices may vary by service area.)

sprinkler key?
by Alan 17 Nov '03

17 Nov '03

What's a spinkler key? Is it that big, spiked penil prosthesis with the large "golden shower head" on it? Or is that called the tinkler key? Or sphincter key? Does anyone remember the porn soundtrack album that came out in the late 90's? That shit was dope. I listened to the "top five" of a "top thirty" list on a radio station Sunday. The songs were so fucking awful I kept thinking, "this must be a joke." But it wasn't! I'm guessing the format was "alternative rock" but it just sounded like a bunch of amateurs. What the fuck is wrong with America?!?! There wasn't even ONE good hook in any of the songs. Nothing to sing along to, no scorching guitar solos, no booty bass. Fucking horrible! This is what media deregulation has already done to us, can't wait until there is nothing left but Clear Channel. Does anyone have Sirius radio? How is it? Bicycles & Tricycles came on in my car a few days ago and I couldn't skip that first song fast enough (I've got an mp3 cd player so I often forget what albums are on the cd I've got in). Blech. Then I found myself skipping through songs and stuff so after four or five partial playing of songs I skipped to the next artist on the cd and then I took it out and found my Chemical Brothers cd-r and played Exit Planet Dust really fucking loud. This Luke Vibert person seems to make some good tunes. Has anyone heard that piano jazz trio that performs Nirvana and Aphex Twin songs (amongst others)? Brilliant shit. www.psychicreform.com Change your mind. "I'm the commander--see, I don't need to explain--I do not need to explain why I say things.

Beady Belle Have you heard this woman yet? Amazing stuff. Two albums: CEWBEAGAPPIC and Home Really beautiful lyrics and stuff and some neat ambient sound thrown in. Excellent sounds. Where the fuck is Kris? Did he get busted for porking that little Catholic schoolgirl that kept flaunting her legs passed his window? _________________________________ www.psychicreform.com Change your mind. _________________________________ "Life is a round of miniature golf only larger, and with a more ambiguous final score." -- Zippy the Pinhead _________________________________
