SWP expulsions and squabbles

[butchersapron]

Not here to trust him but I find him funny.dare say funnier that OFAH.

I think he's very funny as well. I think he's very clever and i like the way he approaches stuffm i like it enough that i can get past the smugness - doesn't mean that there's no hate filled gaps in his life, that sometimes pop out in lying on the floor everyone else didn't go to oxbridge incidents.

 

[butchersapron]

He's like bill hicks for the unilad crowd.

In all honesty i haven't, but that sort of expectation of personal ownership of social space doesn't surprise me. And when he does it about the internet it's him encroaching on others.

Sometime he writes about the Fall and the internet at the same time

"This is another thing we've forgotten about is that with Mark E. Smith and Dave Graney, you buy into all the things that they're saying or their point of view can shift. Are you being addressed by them as a person, are they in character? You don't really know enough about them to assume anything. So it actually means they can do anything.

Whereas if you live your life through Twitter and blogging everyone assumes that what you write is an extension of making yourself public, one of the things about writers and musicians historically is that we project onto them, or we choose to take different things away from them. But it's increasingly hard to do that because everyone's living like a Philip Dick novel where they're supposed to have an online presence as themselves."

I suppose there's nothing "wrong" with this interview and he wouldn't break strike action unlike his vile partner Richard Herring, but it feels like .

"Those prolific genius artists were just the start of it – I had 6ft of Fall CDs, 5ft 8in of Miles Davis, 5ft 6in of Sonic Youth and its solo spin-offs, 5ft 2in of John Coltrane, 4ft 11in of the free improviser Derek Bailey, 4ft 4in of Robert Pollard and Guided by Voices, 3ft of Bob Dylan, 2ft 8in of the Byrds and various tributaries, 2ft 6in of the Texan outsider artist Jandek and 2ft 4in of the saxophonist Evan Parker; I had 20ft of European improvised music, 20ft of jazz, 14ft apiece of British folk music, reggae, and blues, 7ft of Japanese psychedelia, and 6ft each of music from Tucson, New Zealand and 1970s Germany. Even after a massive cull, I reckon I still had 350ft of recorded sound which I imagined I needed to keep."

Also a big Gang of Four fan.

He described something as that - to be fair it was edited from something else so it could refer to anything (leaving aside his redundant classical idea of ART).

Yes you're probably right - probably something he's bigging up on his own 'I interview the real comedy minds' show.

 

[Spanky Longhorn]

whats this about Herring being a strike breaker?

 

[butchersapron]

His thing about mark e smith is genuine - he did a bbc4 doc and they met and he was almost scared to talk to him - so MES had him in his hand - i think he toyed with him really. It's almost like he couldn't imagine great imaginative writing coming out of certain conditions that he had set in his mind. And well, if he likes G04 there is always hope (think we have wandered far off track here)

He broke the BBC strike in 2010 (aiming to defend pensions for future generations), alongside John Peel's son, Steve Lamacq, Paul Ross, Jeremy Vine, Andrew Collins, Chris Moyles, Chris Evans, Andrew Neil, Fun Lovin Criminals Huey, Louis Theroux and Peter Kaye.

 

[butchersapron]

And Johnathon Agnew for anyone listening to the cricket from 6am tonight.

Waterloo demonstrated the party's role as the memory of the class.
Whilst money, money, money was a savage critique of Ricardian scarcity models of economic fluctuation and chiquitita was the groups paen of praise for comrade Gonzalo and the sendero luminoso.

Dancing Queen was a ruthless Marxist criticism of bourgeois conceptions of the role of entertainment under late capitalist decay.

I am neutral about cricket but I don't understand it anymore. Lots of different formats and leagues and stuff.

The olden days were the best days.

Steve Lamacq according to John Harris's (yes I know, another Labour Guardian guy) book was starving/depriving himself of food just to give money to miners strike support funds, that surprised me.

Tom Robinson was on the picket line apparently.

that doesn't surprise me either, a lovely man

I don't like cricket ...

 

[butchersapron]

Lamacq started writing for the NME mid-late 80s, harris late 90s. That's personal talk. IF SL said that to him then i believe it. But then he should know not to cross picket lines now he has things pretty easy.

 

[discokermit]

oh no...

 

[butchersapron]

Is Rees coming?

 

[Spanky Longhorn]

I don't like cricket ...

you love it?
