(lead singer of soul coughing?) (wisper's almost favorite musician person?) He was radiant and witty. Anyway, afterwards he was selling his new EP and chatting to people. I was like a teen girl at a Beatles show, circa 1965. But i managed to pull it together for this: me- "...Doughty?" doughty- "Hey, what can i do for you?" m- "I already bought your EP off the website, but by the time i ordered it, the album (Skittish) was out of print." d- "uh-huh.." m- "So i had to download it all off Kazaa instead. And i feel really bad about it, so i figured i'd just give you the money for it." **i hand him a $20** d- "...you're just giving me this? You don't want anything back?" m- "No, i got Skitish for free, so i want you to have it. It's really great." d- "Well... thank you, thanks so much. Let me at least sign your ticket." and he does. * guy standing beside me: "that is a TRUE FAN!" * d- "You're right, man. That is. That really is a true fan." *Doughty shakes my hand and looks very shocked and humbled. I run off because i'm blushing too hard to maintain my dignity.* |
a true fan has her tits autographed. |
i hugged him, oh my god, oh my GOD. my heart was beating so fast Rowlfe thought for sure i would have a heart attack. |

Morning Sedition. |
We told him that we listened to him last time he was on that. He said "Where the fuck do you get Air America in Canada?" We said their website. He said "heh. Oh." :) |
"Amnesty for File-Sharers and Downloaders: I forgive you! But what say you donate $20, or $10, or $5, or $1,000, or whatever, to MAP?" i went to his website because i have no idea who the hell he is. |
Nate has never heard Soul Coughing this makes me sad. |
a hot skater woman who was in a lot of my classes and she listened to them. She also read elf quest, which I've never read. sem reads elf quest and has all of them in his messy manroom. i still haven't read it. |

mdc, aka millions of dead christians, aka multi-death corporation back in the day, these guys were lumped in with bands like crass, who were these totally political anarchists and malcontents who probably played a big role inspiring the origins of groups like the animal liberation front as well as the black bloc anarchists, who fucked over the seattle wto demonstrators by instigating planned chaos and pushing the cops into riot control mode. i saw mdc play about 10 or so years ago, which was about 8 years past their heyday, and they were just a bunch of happy old punkers playing simple, 3 chord pop punk a la the descendents. it was cute. |
I like Soul Coughing, I think. I've never read Elf Quest, but I think I've read some Shanarra books or something. I'm in bed. |

i have a possum skull i found in 7th grade camp. it was a theme camp; we all pretended to be pirates and slept out under the stars in the woods near occidental. it was complete when i found it, skull and jaw. i'd talk to it and it would talk back. i didn't really make friends easily back then. my only friend in pirate camp was the one black kid. one morning i woke up and the jaw was gone. apparently a talking possum skull was a little too freaky for the other kids. i still have the skull. i painted it black and patterned it with thin red and metallic blue lines sometime in highschool. |
i'm just not good at hearing new music. new as in previously unheard by me. |
mmmm. australian possum. when i was a kid i talked to trolls. when i was a kid in the 70's there was a little shop - what might now be a goth shop, if you can be a goth shop in a sleepy little seaside town in rhode island - that sold these things. it was called "the flaming cauldron". back in the day there were'nt theme trolls and they didn't dye the straw or anything. anyway, i'd save my allowance money and buy the damn things. soon each one had a distinct voice and personality. i'd talk to them while my parents were going through their divorce. and i talked to them while going through the culture shock of moving from rhode island to texas when i was 12. i think i sold 'em all off or gave 'em away, except for one. i was surprised to find them online. they're going to open up a 12-step program coffee shop next door my shop. i think i'll start selling trolls. troubled people like trolls. |

Of all of that stuff, especially the british contigent, subhumans were by far the most influential to me. i didnt care for the delivery of crass or rudimentary peni. |
