Secret Gig, aka 'The Pumping Time' thread

[Art Vandelay]

This thread is so vintage.

Except that newbies seem to have unwittingly taken the place of oldies who left long ago. Funny how everything is cyclical.

I knew it! You can take off that LoveSeanForever costume and mask Lindz. it's been you all the time!

I know what contradiction means dear. I am a living one. As are you.

You moan about sneering yet you are a fan of Nicky Wire? Isn't Nicky's sneers a big reason for why the Nicky girls creaming their jeans? (Cos it ain't his current hairdon't that's for sure!)

We spent years trying to be good enough, that's where the irritation comes from. Now I wouldn't go to a gig if he offered to come and pick me up.

No, haha. I'm a James fan. Though his hair is awful right now whereas Nicky's looks almost good.

Feel free to quote two of my posts to show me the contradiction.

Edit: Also, no, I haven't moaned about sneering. I pointed out where it was an expected response.

You'd come to a gig with me though. So we could be the support act renacting our fave scenes from Stargate Atlantis. Bagsy me be the Hewlett first! Play your cards right and i'll perform a frighteningly accurate scene from Century Hotel!"

I'd come to a gig that wasn't MSP. I'm free baby, this has been catharsis. Next stop, passing all the cd/books/papers etc.

Sounds painful. Particularly the CDs.

I think to be fair, threads like this make the reason for the fan divide fairly obvious, too. There has been sniping on both sides. I would say that to dislike FD because fans feel able to speak their minds openly and honestly is rather stupid. If people wish to criticise the music, well that's what people do when anyone puts music out into the public vicinity. Just because it's a fan forum doesn't guarantee that everyone will like it. And as for criticising the whole debarcle from the other night, well again, we're all fans and many of us love the band equally, so I see nothing wrong with voicing a negative opinion when it feels as though the same people are always given preference. It's a pretty sad day when a band or their management take a dislike to a fan forum purely because people aren't always 100% fawning or praising. I don't believe in all my arguments recently I've said anywhere that I don't love the band or their music deep down, but hey ho.

Statements like that just make me feel quite protective of this place. There's always that little red box with an "X" in the corner if people really don't like it here or feel some vehement dislike for the people or views contained within.

It's been a long hard job...but it was the only way to feel free of the burden inside me.

The papers were much easier - like the conjurers' hanky trick, but with more pictures of the Cuban flag.
