The alternative party for those who aren't in a party mood
Dr E Vibenstein (You know it is, it really is.) Started conversation Apr 12, 2000
It seems a bit unfair that we're trying to make everyone have fun, so I've set aside a small room for those of you who aren't in the party spirit. There are a few bare wooden chairs, a pitcher of water and some glasses, I've invited Marvin as guest of honour, and I've compiled a tape of party music:
SIDE A
"Going To Your Funeral Part I" - Eels
"Paranoid Android" - Radiohead
"The Weeping Song" - Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
"Black Celebration" - Depeche Mode
"Ouija Board, Ouija Board" - Morrissey
"Reasons To Be Miserable (Part 10)" - Half Man Half Biscuit
"Shit Creek" - The Icicle Works
"From Despair To Where" - Manic Street Preachers
"Nihilist Assault Group" - Stereolab
"Girlfriend In A Coma" - The Smiths
"The Intense Humming Of Evil" - Manic Street Preachers
SIDE B
"A Pessimist Is Never Disappointed" - Theaudience
"Miserablism" - Pet Shop Boys
"Teenage Angst" - Placebo
"Hospital Food" - Eels
"My Iron Lung" - Radiohead
"No More Smiles" - Smoking Popes
"Heaven Knows I'm Miserable Now" - The Smiths
"Dead" - They Might Be Giants
"Love Will Tear Us Apart" - Joy Division
"She Is Suffering" - Manic Street Preachers
"Going To Your Funeral Part II" - Eels
Should be a great night...

Not good, but I'm sure things will get worse as the party progresses. Would anyone like a stale fairy cake?

Fairy cake? In my day we had to eat TURNIPS at parties. If we were lucky.

This music's a bit cheerful isn't it. I see you've got the second Eels CD there, that's a good start. How about adding; Pretty When You Cry by VAST, The Man Who Loved Beer by Lamb Chop, El President by Drugstore, This Is A Low by Blur, Stars by Dubstar and Shorley Wall by Ooberman.

I've got an organ hidden away somewhere, I could play a funeral dirge.
In fact, why don't we kill somebody so we could have a nice sombreing funeral? Nothing like a funeral to bring happy people down to Earth.

Stop it! Stop it! This party's getting far too frivolous again.

Replenishes the drinks,leaves a plate of cookies and slips out quietly again as overhead thunder rolls around and the lightening crashes down, eerily illuminating the dull dreary room.

That's better. Dry bread, anyone?

Oh, thunder sounds good. Is that dry bread white

Dr E Vibenstein (You know it is, it really is.) Posted Apr 19, 2000
No, wholemeal. White bread would be too decadent.
