[bedofroses]

for anyone who didnt know, my name's Kelly :lol:

 

and Perrine, how old are you? if you dont mind me asking! :lol:

[Lizzybear]

Kelly ok. I'm sorry :shame: I don't know why I didn't know that. I keep calling Lyvie by her username too :disappointed:

 

and Perrine is only a few months younger than me. I'm 20 :nice:

[Ms Magpie]

Funny you mention that, Ly and I had a convo about calling people by usernames yesterday/today. :lol:

 

 

I don't think it'd be good for me to create a tumblr account... I'd procrastinate more. :bomb:

[bedofroses]

lyvie, that is her actual name too right? :unsure: :lol:

 

ahh, i'm 20 too. perrine and nina, i encourage you to create tumblr accounts :nice:

[Lizzybear]

Go 20 year olds! :awesome: how we are not even half of Damon's age yet :disappointed:

 

So are you addicted to tumblr yet, Kelly?

[Ms Magpie]

21 here :lol:

 

 

But tumblr is complicated! i've no idea how it works!

[Lizzybear]

^ that's good! I already feel sort of old around this place. as most of these new fangirls in the Coldplay section are like 12 now :dunce: how do you "hnnnng" "perv" "unff" at 12?! :facepalm: i dont know. its crazy :lol:

 

 

 

 

 

 

Anyway... I read this little thing today.... is it just me or does this writer seem a little bitter? :confused:

 

 

Louise Wener: memoirs of a rock chick

 

We’re on tour with Blur and if I’m going to be bigger than Damon Albarn, and I definitely am, it might be a good idea to start taking notes.

 

Note one: [blur guitarist] Graham Coxon has asked me to marry him. He is drunk. He asks everyone to marry him. Graham Coxon is great company at the start of the evening, funny and gentle and sharp. But you have to tread carefully when Mr Spectacles is on the sauce; there’s a moment when he tips over to splenetic. He has a tendency to insult people to their face. Strangers. Passers-by. Couples quietly drinking in the hotel bar. He is a harsh critic. It is sometimes uncomfortable.

 

Note two: the way to get groupies, should you require the attention of such, is to ask your tour manager to go out into the crowd, select the best-looking girls and give them passes to your after-show party. In this case they’re called Blurjob passes. Mostly the tour manager is spot-on with his choices but every so often a lesser specimen gets through. No matter. Alex James is magnanimous in these cases. He walks up to one girl with glasses and cheerfully informs her: you’re ugly but I’m going to f*** you anyway. She looks grateful.

 

Note three: all manner of rock-star excess is to be encouraged on this tour but you must never, under any circumstance, mess with Blur’s sweaty plate of foreign cheeses.

 

“Come on, they’ll never notice. I’m sick of Twiglets and besides, they’ve got loads.”

 

“I dunno, they’re much more observant than… ooh, look at that, they’ve got Jarlsberg!”

 

We only meant to eat a Dairylea triangle-sized amount. We didn’t mean to decimate the entire plate. I’m hoping that by rearranging the grapes and organising the crackers into an elaborate fan-shape we might have gone some way to covering our tracks, but I don’t think we have. Dave the drummer has been sent to find us. He looks like a dog chewing a wasp at the best of times but he really looks like one now that he’s chewing us out. The band are properly angry, he barks. They may have to drop us from the tour. We scuff our feet like we’re in front of the headmaster, but honestly, I don’t know what their beef is: it’s not like we touched their champagne buckets, it’s not like we messed with their fruit. Even so, it’s a major transgression. The fab four lock down. For 48 hours, Graham stops asking me to marry him.

 

We’re all drunk and merry at an after-show party.

 

“Don’t worry about it.”

 

“I won’t, then.”

 

“It’s forgotten about.”

 

“Good.”

 

“But don’t ever do it again.”

 

With customary generosity, now the Jarlsberg episode has been safely put behind us, Damon hangs his arms around me, and gives it to me straight.

 

“Course, the way to be successful in this game,” Damon slurs, “is to make all the boys wanna be you and all the girls wanna sleep with you. In your case… that’d work in reverse.”

 

“I see.”

 

They are, I can’t help thinking, an odd and annoying and intermittently disarming bunch. Damon bossy and arrogant; Graham shy and sweet with the black dog inside of him; Alex louche and pompous. And Dave, the straight man who doesn’t seem as mannered as the rest. You don’t catch him with his arms wrapped around his bandmate’s girlfriends; he doesn’t raise his glass and clink it, salute you with his floppy fringe, and purr “chin chin”.

 

On some nights it’s just us and the band and various groupies and hangers-on at the after-show parties. The fab four disappear off into the shadows, with big-busted blonde girls, and skinny eager brown-haired ones. On other nights they relax with their entourage, shipped out to the provinces from the trendier climes of Notting Hill. Damon’s squeeze, Justine Frischmann, Alex’s squeeze, Justine something else, who looks just like her, and various other confident, diffident types that gather round the bar drinking and smoking and getting high on whatever it is they’re high on at this point.

 

 

 

OMG they ate Blur's cheese! You NEVER touch Blur's cheese! :whip:

:lol:

see? just a little jealous or something? Idk... maybe Damon or Alex wouldn't sleep with this chick so she wrote that nasty piece on them.

[Ms Magpie]

^ that's good! I already feel sort of old around this place. as most of these new fangirls in the Coldplay section are like 12 now :dunce: how do you "hnnnng" "perv" "unff" at 12?! :facepalm: i dont know. its crazy :lol:

When I was 12 I didn't even know what sex was about so I really don't get the Coldplay section gals. :lol: Then again, our entire class was all :heart: about Leonardo Di Caprio (sp?) when we were 9 or 10 with the exception that we thought he was cute, not hot.

 

OMG they ate Blur's cheese! You NEVER touch Blur's cheese! :whip:

:lol:

They overreacted a bit on this one! But cheese is a very special food, especially Blur's cheese.

 

see? just a little jealous or something? Idk... maybe Damon or Alex wouldn't sleep with this chick so she wrote that nasty piece on them.

That's it. She wouldn't write this article if one of them banged her. :sleep:

[eff-exx]

BLUR CHEESE! :awesome:

 

Hey Kelly! yeah, i was just discussing about names with Nina :P

 

My name's Emily, but call me Ly, since there are too many Emilys around here.

 

i just restarted my Tumblr... it's different from blogging. but i think it's better. must get used to it.

 

you guys have Twitter right? is it alright if I follow you guys?

 

oh yah i totally understand. i just like having a blog now to use as a sort of little diary and collection of things I love. and tumblr is perfect for that i feel :nice:

 

 

Albarn Shagged :awesome:!

 

( i could watch that all day... [/perv] )

 

HAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHA!

[Ms Magpie]

Does tumblr offer rss feeds (or whatever they're called)? In that case I could follow your tumblr's from my blog. I think.

 

Ly, that's perfectly fine. Will put my username in the profile now. :)

[bedofroses]

Go 20 year olds! :awesome: how we are not even half of Damon's age yet :disappointed:

 

So are you addicted to tumblr yet, Kelly?

 

it is rather strange, finding a 40 year old man attractive at the age of 20 :lol:

 

i really am starting to get very addicted to it now! i cant help checking on there every time i come onto the internet. quite an inspiring little place, interesting people.

 

Hey Kelly! yeah, i was just discussing about names with Nina :P

 

My name's Emily, but call me Ly, since there are too many Emilys around here.

 

i just restarted my Tumblr... it's different from blogging. but i think it's better. must get used to it.

 

ah ok :lol: ly, i shall remember that.

 

i dont have twitter. what is your tumblr? i shall follow you

[*Perrine*]

Perrine your not too old for Tumblr... your younger than me :dozey:

Haha I know, that was a lame excuse to not spend even more time on the internet :D

 

for anyone who didnt know, my name's Kelly :lol:

 

and Perrine, how old are you? if you dont mind me asking! :lol:

Nice to meet you Kelly!

Okay so Liz already answered, you know everything :tongue:

I was so innocent at 12 xD

 

Yeah I bet she was upset! But what they do with hot fangirls sounds a bit cliche... wtf with the manager digging chicks for them?

 

@Emily: what's your twitter username? :wacko:

[bedofroses]

Nice to meet you Kelly!

Okay so Liz already answered, you know everything :tongue:

 

:)

 

 

 

 

[*Perrine*]

Who's that hot chick? :wink3:

[Lizzybear]

When I was 12 I didn't even know what sex was about so I really don't get the Coldplay section gals. :lol: Then again, our entire class was all :heart: about Leonardo Di Caprio (sp?) when we were 9 or 10 with the exception that we thought he was cute, not hot.

I agree. Although I'm not gonna lie, why Titanic came out I was like 8 and I thought Leo was a total cutie. I think i blushed a lot when he came on the screen :laugh3: but i didn't think anything pervy obviously as I was 8 and didnt know anything. I just thought he was a pretty boy:P

 

 

lol I know I was joking about them not sleeping with her, but still she makes them out to be complete assholes... it sounds like she just exaggerated a bunch of stuff

 

BLUR CHEESE! :awesome:

 

Hey Kelly! yeah, i was just discussing about names with Nina :P

 

My name's Emily, but call me Ly, since there are too many Emilys around here.

you guys have Twitter right? is it alright if I follow you guys?

 

HAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHA!

 

Yah you can follow me on twitter dear :nice: ok yah post your tumblr too!

 

Does tumblr offer rss feeds (or whatever they're called)? In that case I could follow your tumblr's from my blog. I think.

 

Ly, that's perfectly fine. Will put my username in the profile now. :)

 

yes, i think we do have rss feeds. there is also something you can do where you can import your old blog into a tumblr so nothing is lost from your old blog :D

 

it is rather strange, finding a 40 year old man attractive at the age of 20 :lol:

 

i really am starting to get very addicted to it now! i cant help checking on there every time i come onto the internet. quite an inspiring little place, interesting people.

 

 

Actually, I dont think its too strange. I don't think age should matter in some things. I can understand if your a kid and you like some rreally older adult in real life... that's just weird obviously.

But really some men can look real good at 40 :wink3: They've gotten out of their young playboy/ cocky stage. Perfect example is Alex James, he is still hot at 40 but he is such a family man now and still really sweet and charming like he was when he was younger.

 

 

Yeah I bet she was upset! But what they do with hot fangirls sounds a bit cliche... wtf with the manager digging chicks for them?

 

@Emily: what's your twitter username? :wacko:

 

I don't know what she meant about their groupies and stuff. I dont think they did much with them, Damon at least was all in love with his girlfriend Justine Frischmen at this time. I wouldn't put it past Alex tho.:laugh3: Thank god he grew out of that tho.

 

:)

 

 

 

 

 

^ THAT'S HOT!

 

Blur in drag... I like it ... :mellow:

 

We can't have Blur in drag without Alex dressed as Cindy :sneaky:

[bear]

hiya! :nice:

i was wondering, dear thread.. what blur album should i start out with?

[Black Rose]

I've added the CD single of Tender to my Blur singles collection :D

 

For a newbie for Blur, Try Midlife the greatest hits which came out last year :)

 

Then Think Tank

[*Perrine*]

I don't know what she meant about their groupies and stuff. I dont think they did much with them, Damon at least was all in love with his girlfriend Justine Frischmen at this time. I wouldn't put it past Alex tho.:laugh3: Thank god he grew out of that tho.

 

We can't have Blur in drag without Alex dressed as Cindy :sneaky:

What do you mean by "did much"? Cause if they bring them to their rooms or whatever place it is, I seriously doubt they're not gonna do much xD

 

Haha, drugs sex and rock'n roll, as always :tongue:

[Lizzybear]

Nina, that pic you just posted in our Damon group is gorgeous :mellow: it's their last.fm profile pic at the moment.

 

 

 

 

Actually I think Think Tank is my least fav. Blur album :uhoh: I would start with Modern Life if Rubbish or Parklife. Parklife is my favorite.

[Ms Magpie]

Who's that hot chick? :wink3:

Nice legz. :wink3:

 

lol I know I was joking about them not sleeping with her, but still she makes them out to be complete assholes... it sounds like she just exaggerated a bunch of stuff

Yeah she did. I get it that they weren't a perfect band (shitloads of champagne and drugs, anyone?) but there was no need to write such a bitter article.

 

yes, i think we do have rss feeds. there is also something you can do where you can import your old blog into a tumblr so nothing is lost from your old blog :D

You really want to convert us into tumblr addicts, right? :D

 

We can't have Blur in drag without Alex dressed as Cindy :sneaky:

He and Damon make good drags. :lol.

 

hiya! :nice:

i was wondering, dear thread.. what blur album should i start out with?

Hey! :nice: You could start with The Best Of or Parklife, which is a great album with cool tunes. It's also the most accessible, I think.

[*Perrine*]

hiya! :nice:

i was wondering, dear thread.. what blur album should i start out with?

Hey Darcy!

So I guess you already know their most famous songs, maybe you should start with Blur or The great escape, these are my fav so far!

But if not, start with Midlife, it's awesome :blush:

[Ms Magpie]

Nina, that pic you just posted in our Damon group is gorgeous :mellow: it's their last.fm profile pic at the moment.

 

 

It's awesome! Found it on last.fm and figured it should be posted somewhere. :mellow:

 

Think it's time to vote for the pics as this one isn't the best, tbh.

[Lizzybear]

What do you mean by "did much"? Cause if they bring them to their rooms or whatever place it is, I seriously doubt they're not gonna do much xD

 

Haha, drugs sex and rock'n roll, as always :tongue:

 

Because what she said didn't make any sense. She talked about them hanging with their girlfriends and then going in the back with groupies. So the way she wrote it was confusing, since I know both Damon and Alex had their girlfriends with them at that time.. I don't know what Graham and Dave were up to :P

 

Nice legz. :wink3:

 

Yeah she did. I get it that they weren't a perfect band (shitloads of champagne and drugs, anyone?) but there was no need to write such a bitter article.

 

You really want to convert us into tumblr addicts, right? :D

 

He and Damon make good drags. :lol.

 

Hey! :nice: You could start with The Best Of or Parklife, which is a great album with cool tunes. It's also the most accessible, I think.

 

hah. no i don't mind if you have one or not.

 

Another Parklife lover :heart: yay.

 

Hey Darcy!

So I guess you already know their most famous songs, maybe you should start with Blur or The great escape, these are my fav so far!

But if not, start with Midlife, it's awesome :blush:

 

I love how we all told her different ones to listen to :lol:

We are a bunch of help

 

 

 

I found this gif a lot larger too... but it's not the whole thing.. like the other one :wacky:

[bear]

\I love how we all told her different ones to listen to :lol:

We are a bunch of help

:lol: naaah, it's fine. i'm planning on just getting the best of, seeing what i like on that, and then going from there.

 

oh and lizzy, has my package arrived for you yet? :thinking:

[*Perrine*]

Because what she said didn't make any sense. She talked about them hanging with their girlfriends and then going in the back with groupies.

It sure doesn't make any sense^^ But I guess they weren't angels either when it comes to girls :tongue:

 

Hey I love Parklife too! But I can't listen to all the albums at the same time, so I better shut my mouth till I know them all :D
