:whip: where's the rest of the family? :mean: edit: i have to go for lunch and family time. will ttyl if i can in a couple of hours. bye-bye.

:cry: it was only yesterday i created this masterpeice of a thread. now my baby is going to be deleted.

Silas' face is so cuuute there. :heart: What a lovely picture.

He will regrow in the other thread, baby. :cool:

:dance: YEAH!

good-bye threads. :cry2:

Please close this and the Bo Madsen thread. :) We won't be using them anymore.

:rolleyes: okay, then.

:rolleyes: I was hoping people would read the subject line and steer clear.

Whichever works for you, Paula. :)

Ok, girls. Take it to the Mew thread and keep it there until the FFF is up. I now declare this closed! :D

Frengers Fangirl Frenzy -

Here, here. An even better idea. One thread for serious Mew discussion here. Another for our fangirly ramblings in the lounge. :) The Jonas thread is on hiatus for now in order to keep this sub-forum nicer. There are other bands and musicians currently doing more than Jonas and they should have their threads seen as well.

So sorry, Bjaiken. I will ditch them. We will just have to be loyal to our Mew thread. :) Hopefully, we can keep things neat so there is no confusion. EDIT: I officially declare the Bo and Silas threads closed. That will limit us to one for Mew and one for the singers' solo works. And only one of those needs to be bumped regularly as Jonas hasn't done much lately, agreed?

Jonas is a solo musician too, Paula. And even though he's no Thom Yorke, Jack White or John McCartney, he's earned it. ;) edit: Paula, so was i O_O

Well, we've been trying to fit it all in one thread. And up to a little while ago that worked just fine. But we had conversations spilling into other threads and it just got a bit messy. Making these threads was only an attempt to keep the others clean. It'd make conversation a lot easier for everyone involved. We're sorry if we annoyed some people as it wasn't out intent. :) And you guys, I think out of respect we should combine the Bo and Silas threads. Anyone agree?

Well, perhaps you are right Paula. You might really like the lounge and I do miss it. :)

If I didn't do it, someone else would have. I chose to get it out of the way while trying to post interesting information about the musicians that would help to get a conversation started, rather than just spam about the person. :thinking: But what people choose to post is their decision. It helps keep a lot of the spam out of the main thread. No more threads related to this band are going to be made, nor would it even be possible. I can't help that the threads are bumped so often these days. We've gotten a lot of news recently concerning these people and it's gotten a lot of notice. We've even had the Mew thread bumped 15 pages in a day just because of a video premier. Not to mention several new fans joining in. :shrug:

Mew is not only an "opening act". In the region they're from they are a big deal and can play to crowds of 20,000 or more. And just because a band isn't headlining every tour they go on or performing at the Grammy's doesn't mean they're not deserving. Mew has had great album reviews after another and are long overdue for a big break. Bands from U2 to R.E.M. are fans of their music and Guy Berryman is in a band with the singer. As for the 'five' threads: The Apparatjik thread was started by Guy Berryman and A-ha fans. That thread is more related to Coldplay than it is to Mew, but Coldplayers don't seem to care that much about Guy's side projects. And since Mew and A-ha have very dedicated fans, we've posted in that thread to show support. The singer is a solo artist and composer, as I've already mentioned. And just because his projects aren't headlining doesn't mean what he does isn't important. The thread was pretty neat until it got way off-topic. Instead of posting about the guitarist in the Mew thread (which was pretty busy at the time), they have been posting in his. To keep it clean I made the other thread, which they were quite happy to have. Mew has a die hard fan base. To us they are really underrated and deserve more recognition than they've gotten.

Not every thread for each member of this band is because they're in Mew. The singer from Mew is also a solo artist who makes music of his own as well as produces music for other musicians. Does he not deserve a thread for his solo music? If Radiohead fans wanted a thread for Thom Yorke's work, there would be no problem. I only made the thread for the guitarist because they were posting about him in the singer's solo work thread. It got to the point of being ridiculous. They didn't post in the Mew thread because there were different conversations going on there, so they were posting in a thread where it was inappropriate. That's when I made a new one where they can have their conversations. As for the drummer he also collaborates in music outside of the band and will hopefully continue to do so. I would make a thread for that project, but so few of us know much about the other people involved. It'd be pointless.

People already asked for this thread. I am just giving it to them. If you don't care then don't post.

Silas Utke Graae Jørgensen (Silas Graae, for short) is the drummer for Danish indie rockers Mew; Work outside of Mew has included music with Danish musicians 'Symptoms'. Music can be found here: http://symptoms-official.com/ (You'll have to make a purchase...) He is also a talented artist with drawings, paintings and small sculptures. (Pictures to be added soon.) Silas was born on March 21st, 1979 (not 1978 as some sites claim.) He has a sister named Laura assumed to be three years his elder. It was through her that he met Bo Madsen whom she shared a class with. Bo was in a band with two friends by the names of Jonas Bjerre and Johan Wohlert and they were in need of a drummer. They had Silas play for them and were all amazed by his talent. But in spite of this they were still not certain. Silas is a very quiet person and didn't say much and due to this they weren't sure if he really wanted part of the band. Luckily for them, he did. And in 1995 or 1996, when he joined, they officially declared themselves as Mew. As the shyest member of the band he rarely talks in interviews and when he does he says so little. Being so quiet, he is often overlooked. This thread is to show him some well deserved appreciation, but I will it what it really is... A CELEBRATION OF MR. SILAS GRAAE! Welcome to your new worship/tribute thread for the best damn drummer you know of. :)

The erm... uh... new unreleased leaked one. :embarassed:
