[phil marlowe]

see the connection?

the choices listed all have a number in them except for choice one, three, four and five. but then again that wouldnt be one hundred percent fair considering 'OP8' is just another way of spelling 'opiate'.

WHAT I HAVE BEEN LISTENING TO RECENTLY:

-White Stripes "Elephant"- i thought they could not get any better then White Blood Cells. Proved me the fuck wrong. "I Just Don't Know What to Do With Myself" and "Keep Her in you Pocket" are favorites

-The Cure "Acoustic Hits"- This is the bonus disc on the greatest hits. It is ten times better then the normal hits disc.

-Tom Waits "Closing Time"- i get the feeling nobody listens to Tom anymore

-Sigur Ros "()"- amazing. It sucks you in. Just don't listen to it while you drive. Trust me. You will crash

-and misc. stuff from PJ Harvey, Primal Scream, Iggy Pop, Bowie, Icarus Line, Taking Back Sunday, Talking Heads, Joy Division, Velvet Underground, much more

How do you ask for "()" at the record store?

Well, Mr. Guff, I think their target audience are not the lazy, skilless people that can't be bothered to look for the damn CD themselves, instead of pestering the HMVers that have other things to do, like monitoring the DVD section for all you DVD-theft schemers on the Xixax.com board.

[sexterossa]

are u related to sexterrossa? search engines are ur friend.

Low blow Pubrick.... low blow

in what sense?

[sexterossa]

Sexterrossa was a member at the PTanderson board. I think what Pubrick was implying was that he is an older, wiser version of you, who had the tendency to ignore search functions, hence the relation question. It also might be in reference to posting a lot, something I got a lot of flack for too. Dont worry about it, we will let Pubrick sort this out though.

Oh, ok....well, it's not as bad as I thought.

I have been posting too much, haven't I? I don't think I've ever spent this much time on a message board. During the summer I'll post a lot less. Fuck, I have no fucking idea why I've been posting so fucking much and I didn't even notice it.

I really try not to be an asshole too, I realize I should have used a search engine. I wasn't trying to be cute or anything or piss Pubrick or anybody else off. I don't try to piss people off. I'm just not very good with the internet all the time. Did sexterrossa try to piss people off with questions? Cause I'm not one of those people I don't think.

has it been debated whether me and this guy are the same person yet?
