# an ex-nearly-girlfriend of mine got headhunted for a job on The Times via twitter.
When she delightedly told me, it felt like the end of the world.

So I congratulated her, and kept the tears for later.

# My wife was headhunted
by Deloitte and Touche some years back. ( not on any internet validation site ) She declined their job offer ( and 170% salary raise with lucrative package ) to stay working in the charity sector.
I don't think I kept the tears at bay for long ;)

# ello, Pasa.
Good stuff last 'night', I reckon, and well worth doing.

# Yes.
Your bollocks seemed like honest bollocks to me.

# never been shy or ashamed to tell the truth

# Remember the stuff about adopting a less threatening tone toward the younger ones?
Threaten us old bastads instead. We can laugh.

# you talk about that music stuff with like minded chaps don't you?
I'm listening to a Brooklyn band called 'Oxford Collapse"

It's not the worst sound in the world.

# I talk about music to anyone I can.
Oxford Collapse? Aren't they on Subpop?

I'll have a little listen after my current album has finished.

# I have no idea what subpop is mate.
You know me, I don't keep up with this stuff.
It just so happens I got an invite to WhatCD ( which along with Waffles is just about the top end of private bit torrenting for music ) and I picked it up out of interest. Album is remember the night parties, from 2006.

I had Ry Cooder on previously and then I have Astrud Gilberto cued up so I'm no barometer for quality and taste.

# I'm a member of what.cd myself, but I rarely use it - I tend to use mediafire to download music.
Just had a listen to the MP3s on Subpop. Seems pleasant enough just not really anything exceptionally special. Perhaps I listened to the wrong tracks?

Edit: and with regards to what/waffles, I preferred Oink :(

# It's not great stuff
to be honest and as i get further into the album it's becoming more standard US guitar band in a Green Day fashion which id not my thing. I think I spoke too soon and they fooled me with the opening tracks.

OFF!

# Sub Pop is an establihed, Seattle-based record label.
It's famous for giving the world Mudhoney, Dwarves, Tad and other well-known turns.

One overrated turn in particular.

# famous you say?
I only recognise the verbs in that sentence ;)

# Oh, sod it then.
Nirvana.

(I prefer Mudhoney meself, but hey ho.)

# I, too, prefer Mudhoney. Superfuzz is essential to my mind.

# I happen to think that
the output of Nirvana was nothing more than run of the mill American drivel.
Not in the slightest the kind of noise I prefer.
