My dear friend Rachael is now here at SG! She's at ddawll -- go say hi.

Meantime Anton and Linz and I have been muttering about making some music together and forming a band of sorts. Here's Anton and I talking about it on IM.


Anton: [CONFIDENTIAL BAND NAME DISCUSSION]. (That's Lindsey's kinda' funny suggestion for a bandname).
TFOK: yeah, hey, I don't mind that
Anton: It's not bad. It's from a book. I do like band names from books.
Anton: 'Hey, we're a band... But we're also literary too!'
TFOK: I was once in a band called The Wasp Factory
TFOK: the book was better than our music
Anton: Hahaha.
TFOK: actually in our ddefence we were half way ok
Anton: My suggestions are The Great Shark Hunt or The Proud Highway
or Secret Country or Backlash: The Undeclared War On Women.
Anton: I didn't just get them from the nearest books.
TFOK: "Backlash: The Undeclared War On Women" = Best Band Name
Evar
Anton: Hahaha.
Anton: People would LOVE that.
Anton: The punters would go crazy.
TFOK: we'd become known colloquially as Backlash TUWOW
Anton: If by punters I mean guys who turned up thinking it was some
sweet misogynist wife-bashing music, which I do.
Anton: Haha. Faludi could turn up and sing Back-Up Rhetoric.
TFOK: First album self titled. Second album = "Stiffed"
Anton: Hahaha.
TFOK: song titles based on chapter names from each
TFOK: I hope they're not just numbered, or our songs will be "Chapter 1",
"Chapter 2" etc
Anton: We could do a cover of TISM's The Love You Make Equals The
Love You Take, So Baby Let Me Bang Your Box.
Anton: Sounds like the workings of the worst band ever.
Anton: Which is a fine achievement.
TFOK: if you have to be something, why not be the worst ever at it
Anton: There are some fine song titles here.
Anton: Man Shortages And Barren Wombs.
Anton: There's a hit.
Anton: Dressing The Dolls.
TFOK: crap yes!!!
Anton: Different Voices Or Victorian Echoes?
TFOK: then I'm going to leave the band in a huff and go off and form "The Myth of Male Power"
Anton: Hahaha.
Anton: I'll have a solo career. My first single will be I'm Sensitive, Caring and Intelligent, So Why Do You Make Me Use Condoms?!
TFOK: There's whole masters theses waiting to be written about our collective ouvre
Anton: Lest we keep the secretly misogynist academic hordes waiting.
Anton: Spoken to TFOG about playing maraccas? I bet she's into ti.
TFOK: "Only if they call me Yoko" she says
Anton: Can she find it within herself to be rude and uncaring and break up the band?
TFOK: she's more than capable of that, which will lead to the whole splitsvile Myth of Male Power thingie
TFOK: but that lies in the future
Anton: Good to have these things planned out though
