who are we

[diverdee]

Me: 38 years old, currently work for telewest - bog standard job liasing with install technicians - worked alsorts - from casinos to working as a process analyst - had to leave that one when I went off my trolley, bouncing off the walls & seeing things that weren't there etc. locked myself in my bedroom for a few months (realised I was not right when I had a go at my housemate because there was bonfire wood in the backgarden - I shouted that it would be in the way of my sunbathing, he told me it was late october - time for the doctors).
Anyway used to be a vocalist in a friends group 'glamorous hooligan', basically shouting a load of conspiracy theroy rhymes etc. at pissed up students, it was the most fun i've ever had - it all went pearshaped, record company dudes were coke heads & bmg stiffed me out of a lot of dosh (I had a seperate deal from the other guys - long story, that pisses me off to this day).
Studied 'peace studies' at university & still spend a large amount of time each day critically analysing & reading the news.
Chomsky is one of my favourite humans.
I would like to start making music again - started learning & banging together beats - but life seems to get in the way.
Need to start sorting through my lyric books also, need to get in shape (used to run long distance & train like 3 hours a day.
Getting older & lazier.
Yeah all life is connected, quantum relativity style & all that - I was telepathic as a kid - so my mum tells me, a lot of kids are - they have that aboriginal innocence that is needed for that skill most humans have lost or forgotten.

edit: oh yeah live with our lass (she's a diamond, if a bit of a binge drinker - we all have our faults) & our 12 year old daugher in a house in bradford surrounded by troublesome chav kids, but the curry around here is good (i'm a chilli addict).

great song

Who are you?
Who, who, who, who?
Who are you?
Who, who, who, who?
Who are you?
Who, who, who, who?
Who are you?
Who, who, who, who?

I woke up in a Soho doorway
A policeman knew my name
He said "You can go sleep at home tonight
If you can get up and walk away"

I staggered back to the underground
And the breeze blew back my hair
I remember throwin' punches around
And preachin' from my chair

chorus:
Well, who are you? (Who are you? Who, who, who, who?)
I really wanna know (Who are you? Who, who, who, who?)
Tell me, who are you? (Who are you? Who, who, who, who?)
'Cause I really wanna know (Who are you? Who, who, who, who?)

I took the tube back out of town
Back to the Rollin' Pin
I felt a little like a dying clown
With a streak of Rin Tin Tin

I stretched back and I hiccupped
And looked back on my busy day
Eleven hours in the Tin Pan
God, there's got to be another way

Who are you?
Ooh wa ooh wa ooh wa ooh wa ...

Who are you?
Who, who, who, who?
Who are you?
Who, who, who, who?
Who are you?
Who, who, who, who?
Who are you?
Who, who, who, who?

(chorus)

I know there's a place you walked
Where love falls from the trees
My heart is like a broken cup
I only feel right on my knees

I spit out like a sewer hole
Yet still recieve your kiss
How can I measure up to anyone now
After such a love as this?

(chorus)

[Wopelka]

cool thread, i'll read it and then i'll answer the questions.

[uselest post to keep it hot, and to have it in my watchlist]

[Meffy]

Firesign Theatre have taught us who we am.

BABE: But who were they?

JOE & EDDIE: They were small, angry men with hairy faces and burning feet... We was running away from Poverty, Intolerance, the Army and the Law ... and the Army ...

DC: And we took to them!

EDDIE: And they took to us!

DC: And what do you think they took?

CHANTING CHORUS: Oil from Canada! Gold from Mexico! Geese from their neighbor's back yard! Boom, boom! Corn from the Indians! Tobacco from the Indians! Dakota from the Indians! New Jersey from the Indians! New Hampshire from the Indians! New England from the Indians! New Delhi from the Indians! ...

BABE: Indonesia for the Indonesians!

[...]

DC: So how about that, Mr. Smarty-Pants Communist?

SOUND: Bronx cheers as responses to questions.

DC: Mr. College Professor? Mr. Beatnick? Mr. Hippie? What have you done for me lately?

BABE: Well, I...

JOE: Mr. and Mrs. Smith! Go to the People! Ask the hands that serve the machines of America! Ask those thousands of folks who wouldn't say "no" to yesterday, and "yes" instead of knowing it all!

EDDIE [Singing]: "Ask the Postman! Ask the Mailman! Ask the Milkman, white with foam...!"

[...]

BABE: I see ...well, who am us, anyway?

EDDIE: We're one of you, and you're one of us, I think.

JOE: Maybe ...

DC: Possibly ...

o/~ Ohhh, how can you be in two places at once, when you're not anywhere at allllll... o/~ I think I'll take this baby for a spin on the ol' Antelope Freeway...

A city without traffic, Marco's strange way of pretending he does not care about his Ukranian wife, Whisky, a certain girl all the time, Getting a song right, Writing the way it was, Red Wine, Finding I can fly, suddenly, in a dream, The allure of nature, The possibility of shedding years of dead useless thoughts.

KVR doth rock the nation.

[The Chase]

a : who am i / what have i done ...

- I am Chase William Carothers. That is "chase will i am car others" - all words. You could say that i am the boy who will chase other cars, but that switched the "S" around. I produce most electronic genres of music, but almost DnB exclusively now. I'm 17 years old and live near dallas, texas.

I havent done much besides finished a few tracks. Im just getting my foot in the door as a good label is asking me to remix a release by another artist they signed. Its samll, but the tracks under it are top notch so im still very excited.


b : what do i do at the moment ...

- browse KvR and update my xanga, as opposed to making music like i should be doing. For instance, the mentioned remix.

c : what is my goal in life ...

- My main goal is to meet a female and fall in love with her, followed by a lot of children. I believe that passing on my bloodline is the closest thing to achieving immortality, so yea thats all great fun.

Music career-wise, my dream is to see my name on a concert flyer - right under or even above my heroes that inspire me (Dieselboy, Dj Dara, AK1200, Dom & Roland, Tech Itch, etc.). Also to leave my mark in the way where people will think i've altered the genre. In my mind thats another step to immortality.

d : i am interested in ...
Teenie-bopper suburban-spoiled-high school shit, to boot. Also hot girls, but overall, becoming successful as i mentioned above and becoming a great person (IE, not the beginning of this paragraph). Plus great music and movies.

[Meffy]

We are the champions, my friend,
And we'll go on fighting 'til the end...
Or until ancoats provides proof of her claim to be a "human paradox,"
Whichever comes first.

[clueless]

I believe that passing on my bloodline is the closest thing to achieving immortality

just like jesus

"Carothers"?
