Or too much of the wrong kind of attention (from Daddy, anyway). Matt "Incapacity of the masses." What a tool for all exploiters and dominators, past, present, and future, and especially for the modern aspiring enslavers, whatever their insignia--Nazism, Bolshevism, Fascism, or Communism. "Incapacity of the masses." This is a point on which the reactionaries of all colors are in perfect agreement with the "communists." And this agreement is exceedingly significant. Voline (E. K. Eichenbaum), _The Unknown Revolution_ ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 27 Apr 2001 05:59:46 EDT From: GlenSarvad@aol.com Subject: [loud-fans] Scott on Delta Air Lines! I'll start with my usual mea culpa that I'm hopelessly behind on my digest reading and this could easily have been covered already. I was flying on Delta last week and had a near out-of-body experience when I learned that LF's "Motion of Ariel" is currently featured on their in-flight audio. There's an entire channel dedicated to "ultracool underground pop" (their term- actualy it shares a slot with some other niche interest) whose playlist is printed in the in-flight mag and reads like a Loud Fan's wet dream. I cut out the list (and of course proceeded to lose it), but I recall it being very Merge Records-heavy. Superchunck's "1000 Lbs." was on there (Mac & Co. got the photo opp w/the playlist, too), as was The Sea & Cake and Annie Hayden. Anyone else seen this? ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 27 Apr 2001 09:30:52 EDT From: JRT456@aol.com Subject: Re: [loud-fans] say what???

Personally, I'm not averse to tattoos per se, but one thing that does bug me a little about them is the way in which they can change according to fluctuations in weight / muscle tone etc. My brother has a tattoo of the rockabilly guitar player Ersel Hickey on his right arm. Of course, everybody who sees the tattoo thinks it's a picture of Elvis, but as my bro's physique has changed a bit over the past few years the image has morphed from young-&-slim-Elvis to old-&- fat-Elvis to a current stickman-Elvis. My brother's looking better than he's ever done, but the tattoo looks positively *ill*. (There's a Dorian Gray kinda metaphor struggling to get out here, I'm sure.) The Peter Buck thing has confused me immensely: apart from the fact that it seems very out of character, I don't quite understand why he would wait until he no longer looked like a rock star before he started to behave like one. Possibly related question - does anybody else out there get the impression that GBV's current fanbase includes an amazingly large number of disillusioned former REM fans? peace & love phil Phil Gerrard Senior Admissions Officer The External Programme University of London E-mail: p.gerrard@eisa.lon.ac.uk 'Phone: 020 7862 8369 Fax: 020 7862 8363 ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 27 Apr 2001 11:24:58 EDT From: JRT456@aol.com Subject: Re: [loud-fans] Tattoo who / REM In a message dated 4/27/01 8:14:12 AM, p.gerrard@eisa.lon.ac.uk writes: << The Peter Buck thing has confused me immensely: apart from the fact that it seems very out of character.... >> Are you kidding?

What struck me as odd about the alleged air-rage incident is that if I'd ever thought about it I'd have supposed that Buck would be a dopey, smiley kind of drunk, not an obnoxious or rowdy one.

I dunno - it doesn't surprise me that Buck could harbor some irascibility. I mean, everybody says R.E.M. are nice guys and all - but to my ears there's an edge there, too. But I don't think, really, this was "acting like a rock star" - I think it was a guy who had too much to drink getting frustrated and then behaving like a boor.

Same thing with that new Matt Dillon movie trailer where the guy gets squashed by the dumpster, and you can see his right leg break sideways for a split second. Thank God that's not real. It's cartoonishly funny, but it looks SO lifelike.

Or too much of the wrong kind of attention (from Daddy, anyway). >> EEEWWW!! Well said. Just reading the last line makes me feel "ookey." There are some things you just don't do, and that is one of them. I'd like to think I'm a pretty forgiving guy, but I'd have a very hard time forgiving molestation and/or rape. I squirm at people getting hit by cars on TV, but I wouldn't flinch in the least seeing an SOB get castrated for molesting a child, especially their own, or for raping someone. I just don't buy people who say that they didn't know it was wrong, or that they were drunk or whatever. WAAAAH!!! They ***k up these kids for life doing these selfish acts. I had an SOB for a father (more like a sperm provider) and this issue hits home for me. Im not insinuating the man did anything this horrible to me (and I'll spare the usual excessive detail of my personal life here), but over the years, I've found one thing in common with most of my friends, who generally are as mental as I am, and that's they had ****ed up parents, usually fathers, who did unspeakable things to them. My best friend growing up was punished as a teenager by her father taking all her furniture and belongings out of her room, ripping down and destroying all her posters, taking her records, everything...giving her a cot to sleep on, and removing her bedroom door. This went on for a month. It was for missing curfew.
