h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

I'm at a loss as to why you call yourself "stupid girl". If your personal page is any indication you seem like the least stupid girl I've bumped into in quite awhile.
Please leave a note on your page about whether you have a CD available for "Shore Island Sound"... unless it's country music, (songs about your drunken dog running away with your wife and taking your Chevy pickup with them always make me cry).

Stupigirl, cos, um, that's how I felt the day I tried to log on to h2g2 after the takeover, and couldn't get back in...and then again when I deleted cookies thereby rendering myself outcast again. I just gave up and decided to make a clean sweep of it.
No recent CD's I'm afraid, we haven't done any recording for over two years, and since we have new band members and play completely different music, I don't like to give out the old cd's anymore. But you'll certainly hear about it when I DO get some recording done, cos I shall no doubt run round telling everyone!
Oh, and no, it's not country (please don't swear at me!) Described as 'Indie/rock with melodic tones and thinking lyrics'.

Well now my curiosity is REALLY aroused. You have CD's but you don't give them out 'cause they're oldies? I LOVE 90's music! Are you the lead singer on these gems from the past? Why the two year break? School or prison?

(chuckle)It's a wonder i haven't been imprisoned, by now..
I used to be lead singer of The Lupin Spires, we did a fair bit of recording and gigged for a couple of years, and then the band split. There's just the bass player and myself from the *original* line up in Shore Island (although the Lupins have had a fair few incarnations, dating back roughly 15 years). Because we sold Lupin's CD's at gigs, we joint-copyrighted all the material, and when we split, we agreed to start afresh and not use any old songs in our *new* bands (rhythm guitarist gave up completely and sold his 'strat, drummer disapeared from the face of the earth, but lead guitarist started new band himself). This was just to avoid any arguements about who 'owned' what song. I did up until recently give away cd's to whoever was interested, naively maybe, but someone ended up with a copy and began copying and selling them, and shouts of indignation were heard from ex-members who believed I was selling them and pocketing the proceeds....Oh dear. So if someone offers you one, DON'T PAY FOR IT!
Anyhow, Bassplayer and I recruited an excellent guitarist and began writing new songs about 18 months ago, but we had real trouble finding a drummer...we had three in quick succession who messed us about and left us in the lurch, but the latest one (fingers crossed) has managed to stay the distance, and we're now ready to start gigging again. Hopefully in the near future we will be able to afford between us to record some tracks.
There you are, you see, ask a simple question....and get a long, complicated answer in reply!

I love long, complicted answers, (no lie). They're the best kind. Didn't The Lupin Spires end every show by taking the audience home to wash their feet in a vat full of ale? Just a rumour? Okay, I'll stop spreading it.
I would like to hear some of your previous stuff until you've put out something new. I work overnights taking care of three, soon to be four, radio stations. I promise I'd only play them on two of the stations, and I wouldn't make any copies.

Hey, washing the audience? How do you KNOW these things! If you post me your E-mail address I'll send you some MP3 files for private consumption...a warning though, they'll take ages to download!
Your page doesn't tell me much about you, so out with it:- age? Habitat? What makes you tick?
You don't really have to tell me these things, I'm just very, very nosy...and you seem to know all about my feet-washing habits, so quid pro quo?

You can post me at: [email protected]
As for more about me...I was born at the age of 12, 24 years ago. I work for a corporation that owns a couple of hundered radio stations here in the states. I've done just about every job involved with running a radio station, (programming, on-air, traffic, board-op, production, news, sports).
Currently I work the overnight shift, 10pm-6am. There are two FM stations in the building and an AM/FM News/Talk station. I make sure they stay on the air, and that the advertisers spots are playing as they should. I also do some production, (which usually involves lying to the public about how much better their lives would be if they bought a new car from people who care about them).
I prefer the overnights to any other shift. Lots of reasons, mostly having to do with a subject we've posted each other about quite a bit lately...lies. I'll elaborate in an e-mail. It's not something I want to post in public. (Let's just say it has something to do with the grand conspiracy by penguins to take over the world using fast food ketchup packets)

Now then...hopefully, 'So Cold' is winging it's way over to you, let me know if it doesn't arrive 'cos that means I've done something wrong! I've had to send it from mum's computer 'cos I don't have ANY of my own tracks as mp3's, I'm quite new to this 'ere internet thingummy. Mail me at [email protected] and tell me about those penguins...

Okay, but it will chill your bones. Wouldn't you rather hear how camels are carrying more than water in those humps? Angel's with rainbows. But don't cut them open, (the camel humps). It makes the rainbows turn into thick red liquid, and the angels will tell God on you.

...chuckle...
So have you tried?? Cutting them open, I mean?
You just reminded me of the time I told my little sister there was a little imp that lived in the fridge, and switched the light on when you opened the door, but cos it's shy, it switches on the light and then hides behind the butter...she spent hours opening and closing the fridge door as quickly as she could, then she emptied the fridge of it's contents so there'd be nothing for Chilly Billy to hide behind. I got in quite a lot of trouble for that one. That and the weasel car.

I was hiding behind the lightbulb, (burned me bum I did).
Okay, I've got to know... Weasel Car?

Well, the conversation went something like this...
"When I grow up, I'm going to have a weasel car."
"A weasel car?"
"Yes, you know, one that runs on weasel".

'Ick doubles over, as if hit the stomach by a large flounder.'
And you were how old at the time? (This was last year wasn't it?)

How DO you know these things??!!! You're spying on me aren't you??!!

stoop.

I have to admit, I have spies. They tell me the weasels have been wondering when you're going to get down to the business of actually purchasing one of their cars, (the whole weasel economy has been going downhill since the polar-powered cars hit the market--damn white bears!)

I'm glad you're back, you make me Are you at work at the mo'?
*tries to remember time difference*
It's 4am here, but I'm not at work for TWO WHOLE DAYS, so I'm not moving from this 'pewter....
Did you know that there's an elephant under my bath that drinks all the water when I take the plug out? It's ever so noisy...And I've also got a sock monster that follows me round, he just eats one sock from every pair..

-stoop.

Horrible little beasties those sock monsters. Try feeding it to the elephant in your drain -- it will muffle the noise a bit. If you need something to keep your footsies warm, I have a lap that's empty at the moment.
Yes, I'm at work. It's just before midnight here. The server for the stations crashed again last night. So I'm even more behind in uploading the recorded promises from one sponsor or another to make the life of all concerned brighter, happier, and more filled with the potential for a life-span of 120 years.
I'll check my e-mail before I log off and post a reply if it ,( the tiny postman, Jeff I think his name is) was successful.

Hmm, didn't think of that...mind you, I'm quite attached to my sock monster these days....plus if I got rid of him the monster under the bed would be sad, cos sock monster keeps him company when my ankles aren't there for him to grab....
Poor you, hard at work *sympathy*
Mind you, I've had a hell of a day myself, all hell broke loose at work this evening when one of the residents decided to go for a walk, got on a bus and was eventually found nine miles away, thankfully in one piece...and that was on top of the job interview, and then waiting to find out the results of the interview, and then jumping round like a mad thing cos I got it!
I didn't realise how people at work like me! (that sounds odd, but I'm quite touched by the number of people who've wished me well and made comments like they always knew I'd go far...It's really nice to know people think well of you!)

-stoop, feeling very happy, but with cold feet.
