ENCORE (REQUEST) : Action

Sorry it's taken so long to get this up (damn u, comcast bastards).  As was pointed out earlier, this show was packed, and it did, I think, 'sell out.'  I haven't seen such a large crowd at a Nashville Features show since this past summer at the End.  Also pointed out by someone earlier was that the sound was kind of sketchy.  Not BAD, just sketchy.  The vocals and the keys were way to loud compared to everything else.  It was nice to be able to clearly hear the lyrics (and to hear Roger sing), but the mix was, overall, kind of annoying.  As for the music, it was good.  The set was especially laden with technical difficulties.  But you know what?  Aren't *all* Features shows laden with technical difficulties to some degree?  So technical difficulties don't necissarily make it a bad show.  In fact, this show had a couple of very interesting 'cover-ups' when Matt was tending to a technical difficulty, and the band had to keep playing.  Parrish especially shines in these moments.  What made this show so good?  The new songs.  Matt actually disclosed some names of these great new songs at this show.  Anyway, these new songs are really coming along.  'The Design' and 'Moonlight' are destined to be Features classics.  Bottom line: at a new venue, the Features rocked as well or slightly better than they usually do for a crowd that was very very into it.  The result: a hell of a time.

and i must also add that my tyger and character layed solid groudwork for the night's festivities. i'd like to see that line-up again. by the way, what kinds of drugs does ryan norris take? if you know, please get me some. that boy is out of control.

'Did you say you're on Mescaline now?'

'Indeed I did.'

Oh, by the way, My Tyger/Character/the Features is happening again on Saturday, February 9 at 12th and Porter, I believe.

if the above is actual, i'd just care to go on record as saying fuck yeah.
and can i put in a request to have all the damn tables cleared out?

Yes you may.

Sorry to post again so quickly. The beat on the street is that Norris has been on a steady diet of hallucinogens since the tender age of 15, though I think he has recently made the switch to speed. Bastard just wants to be like Lou Reed. Anybody know where I can get some 'ludes?

dawson

Daaaaaaaaammmnnnnn, that's harsh!

Good comedy.

mr. (or ms. perhaps) carrol, nice quote

joe, thanks for using 'ryan norris' and 'out of control' in the same post. very very him. good work.

and props on the dawson comment as well. you evil big bro.


ahem... the features rock. i sho ain't off topic.

Big tits with a matching ass?

you rang?

p.s. who are you?

b- 'bout time you started posting again. get with it girl.

I think you know who I am.

no, i really don't. otherwise i wouldn't have asked, dawg. there's about 1.5 million people that you could be from 'big tits with a matching ass.' you're surely somewhat old school though.

on an unrelated note... everyone needs to see donnie darko. i've been told that they've extended its run at belcourt through next weekend... i don't know about outside of nashville though. but it's absolutely phenomenal. i wouldn't want anyone to miss out on it.

It wasn't that good.

That's such a Brynne movie too. I knew you'd love it. It has that plot dynamic that's easily detectable to stoners.

I think you need to loosen up that scarf, neuboy. I can't remember any movie in the past six months that you have really liked. It's okay to like 'popular' 'indie' 'movies.' I know deep down inside you liked it.  Let it go....

neuboy, why do you feel the need to be anonymously obnoxious? i mean, if you're going to rag on me, at least do it with some balls. jesus.

ok ok, so my ridiculously curious side got the best of me. your identity is no longer a mystery, asshole. i *heart* you.
except for that whole stoner comment... but i think we both know that your opinion isn't especially vital to me anyway. particularly if you disliked donnie darko. it's certainly not going to the world, but it's a fucking well done movie.
you just claimed to like requiem for a dream so i would like you, eh?

No, Requiem for a Dream was pretty good. Not a good date night movie however. I never said Donnie Darko was bad. I liked it. It just wasn't all that. It's about as over-hyped as the Strokes.

How do you manage to fit a strokes bashing into everything?

It's so easy. Because of my staunch, non-conformist nature, it is very easy for me to dislike anything that most people like, which always relates easily back to the Strokes.

You, neuboy, are one of the hardest to please that I know. There's a flipside, though - when you *do* like something, I know I'm in for a real treat.
It's so hard having good taste, isn't it?

um, i still say that smoking a joint and watching requiem for a dream is a f'ing good first date. what would you have prefered, neuboy... a moonlit picnic and 'say anything'?

How about 'Sex, Lies, and Videotape,' both in film and practice.

dear god, we all have way too much time on our hands today. y'know, sarcasm is hard to convey via the printed word; neuboy, you do it well.

Agreed.

ahem
ok so someone's been messing with my favorite dish, being ms. bowden. anyways so i guess we're assuming this person is ryan norris. i swear that guy could drawl you to death. he's one of those musicians who wants to be one because all of his friends are incredible. i suppose you should give him props for that though. effort effort effort. so if the person is ryan norris, mr. 'draaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaawwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwlllllllllllll' then i say fuck him. he's just angry because a hot girl whom shall remain slighly anonymous didn't love him. sure she has big tits and a matching ass, that's not a bad thing because you can't deny that she's like one of the most attractive girls you'll meet in your life, well maybe just his life. if it is him them i will say don't take this personally i'm just defending my friend who happens to be my lover! we share her big tits and matching ass frequently and it's sweet as homemade southern pie...**drawl**

i've lost my point. no harm done. just laugh and say i'm stupid because i've lowered myself and i'm a chicken shit **Drawl** because i'm remaining anonymous. **drawl***

and what's the obsession with polyester? he looks as if the several finest thrift stores in the south gangraped him

the features rock.

so we do know it is ryan norris. but i'm ryan norris **drawl** maybe he drools when he drawls. yeah and i'm sure he just liked requim for a dream so he could have some reality based cream dreams with you.

drawl drawl

doesn't he kinda look like shaggy?
scooby scooby doo

Actually, I think Ryan Norris just got a haircut, so no, he probably does not currently look like Shaggy.
In reference to the entire post, is it a joke?  I hope so. Don't fuck with Ryan Norris.

(Edited by jamiecarroll at 4:24 am on Feb. 6, 2002)

yes, yes, don't fuck with ryan. i've known that son of bitch for almost nine years and one thing i can tell you is he will make you pay.

My, my you're clever. I'm a bit disappointed at the lack of originality people take when poking fun at me. There is a predefined 'bag of tricks,' if you will, that people resort to over and over again when they feel they need to attack me. Of course I've been hearing the Shaggy thing since the womb, and I had a drawl as a sperm, but Jesus loves me just the way I am. So if you really want to play, come out of the shadows and dance. I will dress in polyester and burn you in effigy. I wasn't trying to attack Brynne by the way. She is a very nice girl, even if she doesn't put out.

You tell 'em Ryan.
I've got your back, though I will most likely dress in cotton and/or cotton-polyester blend.

You'll go to hell for wearing blended fabrics.

I feel the need to say something. I'm guessing this 'ryan' is neuboy. I don't like people making fun of 'ryan'. It makes me angry and I don't have my medicine.

I'm glad my personal life isn't subject to this board.

man, i didn't realize that my presence would create such drama. i must be one hot bitch. and ryan... don't put out? let's not pretend, baby.

Of course. I forgot about that incident on the couch. Oh wait, that wasn't me.

Yeah, don't fuck with Ryan. He's a member now. Also Brynne, you don't need to get a whole new username ('ryannorris' for example) to tear apart Ryan and his 'drawl.'

And in tribute to Mr. Boy, may I just say, 'GAWWWWWAAD DAAMMMUT!!'

Who is this Ryan Norris Character anyways?

I haven't felt this bad since we saw that Ronald Reagan film.

did you mean to capitalize Character?

if i find out who wrote that nasty message about ryan they're going to get my burma lightning fist.

Of course Lawnwrangler. I'm begging for attention.

i know that i shouldn't bring this up again.
that i should be mature and keep my mouth shut. but maturity is not a trait that i claim to possess in any form, so fuck it.
it seems that several friends of mine who frequent this message board think that it was i who posted under the name 'ryan norris.' first things first... suck a dick, 'friends.' anyone who knows me knows that 1. i have balls and 2. i would come up with better insults than the tried-and-true that ryan spoke about. the hair, the drawl.. it's been done. i'm wittier than that. and anyway, why would i post under my actual name making fun of him and *then* post again anonymously? yes this can all be summed up with three words: suck a dick. god, i'm mature.
but anyway, i suppose that mr. neuboy himself is the only person who is smart enough/ knows me well enough to realize the above things. and i love you for that mr. r. even if you are evil enough to post about my futon activities to a pubic message board. love.

If the topic is that important enough to everyone, contact Michael and request the IP address for Brynn and 'ryannorris'. If they match, it was done on the same computer. If not, it was a different computer and/or different ISP. It won't exactly vendicate Brynn, but it would prove if it is. IMO, I doubt Brynn knew IPs were logged and if they don't match, she didn't do it.

It was a joke. Brynne, I never thought that you were actually 'ryannorris' nor did I mean to lead others to believe that. If you look back at just about any of my posts on this board, you would be hard pressed to find a serious one. Sorry for the confusion.

P.S. You have balls? Eww!

no keith, it wasn't you. i knew you were joking. apparently other people had been gossiping about it, and someone told me last night. i've got nothin but love for ya baby.

Fuck. Can anyone tell me how to select part of someone's post for later manipulation in my own post.? I 'm inept when it comes to computers. What I was trying to do was select that part of the previous email that said 'even if you are evil enough to post about my futon activities to a pubic message board.' While I am sure 'pubic' was a typo I was seeking to make comedy of it and it backfired on me. GAAAAAAAAAAAAAWDDAMNIT!

hahahahahha. i suck. but you do too, it would seem.

could you two continue these conversations over the phone?

it's idaho ave. not melrose place. damn i miss nashville. oh and that pubes thing was classic, fucking classic

to ryan

i enjoy being you

seriously guys, can't we all just get along?

Wow, HoobaIncubus, thanks for resurrecting this one. That's some interesting stuff!

I had nothing to do with any of this...

I'm totally confused by this. So many people who don't post here anymore...I'm...head..spinning....alternate worlds...inside jokes and I'm on the outside. Gah!

*phew* okay that was scary for a sec...

First of all, the Features were playing a lot more around then, and so we had a lot more people running in and out in February. This was also before several started retiring (elt, be2, nb).

Now we just have a couple of regulars who like to make double identities. Man, those guys suck.

<---blinded by irony

I almost got Neuboy to return the other day, but no dice. I'm pretty sure we haven't heard the last of him, though. Ditto Roadie.

he seems like an ass but hes fuckin hilarious.

who? neuboy?

i have a big heart for neuboy and eno2, though i've never met either one of them. both have gotten my msg board back in the past. but aside from that, they are greatly missed.
