About MountstuartMind

I like Writing and making people laugh-- which usually involves satire, parody, sardonicism, hyperbole, lampoon, inscrutable metaphors, sarcasm and general mockery. Conversely, these can also make people cry; if this occurs, please adjust your personal settings.

Music

Classic rock, indie/college rock for the most part. Led Zep, Pink Floyd, Cream, Beatles, Super Furry Animals, Catherine Wheel, Doves, Lush, Curve, Underworld, Mercury Rev, Ride, Flying Saucer Attack are some favorites. Can't name them all. My "college rock days" were early-mid 90s, so I like a lot of those bands that people have forgotten about: The Cows, Railroad Jerk, The Bevis Frond, Girls Against Boys, Th' Faith Healers, Versus, The Auteurs, Long Fin Killie, Helium, Cosmic Psychos, Possum Dixon, Arcwelder, etc.

Films

Indie films. Office Space, Spinal Tap, Happy Gilmore, Best in Show, Big Lebowski, Pi, Summer School (anyone remember that one?!) are some favorites. Sadly, I do pull quotes from them if a situation necessitates. Even sadder is that I rarely remember a quote verbatim-- this is a skill at which males seem to succeed flawlessly. How do they do that?

Books

Old stuff. Classic literature. I think the most recent book I own is John Irving's Hotel New Hampshire. Every time I've given contemporary lit. a chance I've been left feeling empty afterwards. Same goes for contemporary poetry, though there are exceptions (i.e., Larkin). So Blake, Wordsworth, Tennyson, Swinburne, Arnold, G.M. Hopkins are some standouts; between these guys there is a gamut of pathos, politics, subversiveness and mastery at manipulating language. I could go on for days...

Deadeye,

The first Killing Joke album was groundbreaking. It's still a great listen today. The band has had it's up and downs over the years. So many bands copied them their sound isn't as unique any more. Jaz is a very unique person. He's involved in a lot of music besides Killing Joke and has a unique perspective on music and it's role. I'm looking forward to the show. I've seen them several times with different line ups but this one will be special.

Hello Hello!

Just saw you on line. I have to go meet two clients so am getting off line now. Hope to hear from you soon!

I just updated the "Force Multiplication" thread.

Hope all is well, kiddo!!!

Oh haha - I don't think I've ever heard of that breed. He's beautiful! We've always had dogs for as long as I can remember, I love them. We had to have our 16 year old doggie put to sleep a couple of years ago and I haven't had one since. I would love one but my lifestyle tends to be a little unstable *ahem*. It took four people to look after my last dog haha! I was determined that he would be coming with me when I left home but I always took him back for babysitting duties.

I'll actually be visiting my family in November but the KoL show may have been the deciding factor:) I haven't booked my flight yet and I was thinking about maybe seeing Coldplay but it would mean missing Thanksgiving with the family..... there's been many times when I've ducked out of things for a gig but I think I may be growing up a bit because now I feel guilty. Besides, I'm not an arena type person and I don't like their new album that much.

I liked Athens a lot, seemed to have that Southern charm that I love so much. Having said that, you can't really get a feel for a place in a day. I do really love Atlanta. My friend that I was with at the BRMC show in Athens is a Georgia Tech student...... so I guess I'll cheer for them too. Except I hate sport. Speak to you soon!

Deadeye,

Thanks for mentioning Killing Joke in the forum. I totally agree. Are you going to any of the reunion shows? I'm going to the show in Chicago.

I must admit, my heart did a somersault when I saw that The Racs and The Kills would be doing a show in that amazing venue. Sadly, I won't be able to go but I WILL be there for Kings of Leon in November so all is not lost. Looking forward to being back in the beautiful South. I never had a chance to ask - are you from Athens or Atlanta? And what type of dog do you have?!? Some sort of poodle/sheepdog hybrid?

Hello deary - I didn't realise you were from Atlanta. I love that city so much..... And I got an email in my inbox saying that The Raconteur and The Kills are playing the Tabernacle in October. And I love that venue.... I really liked your review of the 40 Watt show!
