Mine's the later cardboard sleeve issue which includes Baseball Bill.

[black francis]

Yeah that's the one. Two sleeves right?

Keep Madonna and give us Guy Ritchie and you got yourselves a goddamn deal.

I think Madonna can still pass (with the lights turned slightly down) if she does one of the lesbian kiss things to Gwyneth that she did with Britney Spears.

That's a done deal then Mr Black Francis. I'll post Chris tomorrow. I'll throw Ricky in a wooden crate with the words "One way. Please. FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, PLEASE." emblazoned across the side and drive to the south-west Wales coast and fling it into the Irish Sea. I'm sure he'll get there, eventually.

No hurry.

Sorry, I missed Guy from that lot. He'll come in the parcel with Chris.

There is a rush, I want Gwyneth and Madonna kissing asap. I'll get Gwyneth to dress up in something provocative and she can do her "English" accent like she did in Sliding Doors. That'll turn me on. Madonna can stay in the shadows.

"Comedians" have a short shelf life over here, same with musicians, ask Les Dennis and Mac - we get bored easily. Actually, I'm bored now.

Is that true for everyone? You - and the other UK posters here - may expect more from comedians just like you do musicians. Don't you have comedians there, though, that were inventive or funny for a few years and stay around milking the same jokes because like a bad restaurant in a good location people go back to because they know what they will get and don't have to really think? And you find yourself asking why is he still on tv in the UK?

I get how a guy that isn't anything much special back home goes to another country and gets put on a pedestal somewhere else.

A lot of people don't search out new comedians and music. Actually most don't. I would put money on that being a universal fact. Gervais is a fresh face in the U.S., so what you are so bored with now is new over here. I get the feeling in a year or so, I will be saying I can't believe I thought this guy was funny. But for now, he was a breath of fresh air at that awards ceremony.

Now to truly ramble - I have only met a few people who work in the movie industry. From what they say, LA is the ass-kissing center of the world and lips really pucker up on award nights. (BF knows better and can deny or confirm this.) The only criticism that doesn't cause a major stir is magazines talking smack about how awful someone's dress was. For me, it was a breath of fresh air to see Gervais say straight out The Tourist is a bad movie. We usually only get that kind of honesty at a celebrity roast.

Heh I was just listening to Life of 1000 Crimes last night and considered posting how much I like that song. My Avalanche is the porcupine records second edition purchased through the website back in the Ivan days. Isn't there one before it?

Was the second edition really when I was around? I thought that had come after I'd gone.

This will tell you ALL you need to know about Hollywood award shows.

I'm pretty sure you were running the site then. The main page had the Avalanche graphic and samples I believe.

[oddbunny]

I second this. I can't stand her.

I agree, what true "talents" does she have as an actress, what contributions has she made to improving the human race & why does she have to be so snotty & snobby all of the time?

Really? Weird.

I do remember doing several different versions with the different album covers that were supposed to come up at random... but I still don't remember hyping the re-release. I thought I left shortly after Live in Liverpool and Slideling.

I thought I was gone by then.

Have you met her? I have. Lovely girl.
What contributions have YOU made to improving the human race? Or is it that you're a bitter lardass cunt with an axe to grind against freakishly skinny women?

[In The Margins]

No, we don't want Chris Martin.

We'll take Ritchie and Gervais. You take Paltrow and Madonna.

Taking Martin is a dealbreaker.

Here's a photo of Gwyneth's underwear:

Alright, I'll stick Chris Martin in the cupboard. He come out to play when Mac records his next solo album.

The Gwyneth upskirt pics sealed the deal.

[black francis]

I'll throw this in for being cool about keeping Chris Martin
