Not too good, not too bad.
Discovering that a jug-eared nonce is tracking my every post has disconcerted me more than a little, and also I am off to see a band tonight, the only things about whom I know are:

1) Bobby likes them - very bad news as he thinks Gun's'Roses aren't shit
2) Al likened them to 'painting pictures with sound' - almost certainly the gayest description of a band's music I've ever heard (worse by far than 'they speak to my soul' at no.2)
3) Their name sounds suspiciously Simpson tie - 'God speed you! Black emperor' sounds like a fucking Pratchett novel.

Hmmmm.

No it doesn't
a Pratchett quote perhaps, but not the name of the novel itself.

they are OK.

Of course, by the laws of Monty, that means that if I think the are OK, they must be shit, right? I know this game.

he has a carefully constructed mathematical equation
to figure out how much he should hate them based on the positive descriptions by others.

It's quite complicated but you can break it down as
Other person's recommendation?

If Y go to Monty hates it. If N go to Own Discovery?
Own discovery?

If Y go to Monty likes it. If N see Other People's Recommendation?

Not at all.
I don't know your tastes. I don't dislike things for the sake if it, you know. I'd much rather like something than not, it's just that bitter experience leads me to suspect a modern-day band to be 'not my thing' until I've heard them. Especially one with a bent name.

Depending on your taste
from about '87 to '89 they were pretty good. "Appetite" is a pretty seminal hard rock album. And no, I don't mean seminal as in covered in sperm.

I have set man-traps* around your entire area.
I did it when I was hiding in the bushes outside your house that time, in case you 'changed your mind' and tried to escape.

just because you succesfully tested them when your gimp tried to escape, it doesn't mean man-traps will work on women.

The Helicopter used in the 80s show 'Airwolf' was sold to some German company when the series came to an end and was used as a German air ambulance.

It crashed in a thunder storm, killing all 6 people on board.

TRUFAX.

This news could only be bettered if Jan-Michael Vincent* had been on board when it crashed.

No.
I can't read the name without pulling a 'mong' face.

This is probably an age thing Monty, anyone who grew up in the era of the Deacon is duty-bound to behave the same way.

As an aside, I wanted to get a copy of 'Tongue Tied' (Deacons Biography) for my sister for Christmas. Fuck me. It's pricey - and it isn't even waterproof. Used copies on Amazon are going for between seventy and one-hundred and twenty five quid.

I'm not paying that for it.
( JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Wed 15 Dec 2010, 17:48, Reply)

I have myself looked for a copy of that book for several years - I've never seen one for less than about £70.

It's worth periodically checking though - 'Moon The Loon' goes for up to £50 and mine cost me a tenner becuase the cover was creased. Then a Swedish bird borrowed it and lost it, the fucking bitch.

There were probably loads of copies available at
