addendum

xssy, I am uploading stuff for you. Damn server is slow... but soon I will have old photos for us to reminisce over.

Anyway. I am in a weird mood today... I keep randomly breaking into laughter.

This is sort of an addition/sidenote to the massively wanky KMFDM kerfuffle I posted about yesterday. It's mostly contained in this thread.

Basically, KMFDM/Pig fan SmackMaster511 is selling CDs on eBay to pay medical bills. He lists Lucia's solo CD; Lucia is a member of KMFDM and is dating KMFDM leader Sascha Konietzko. In an attempt to get the listing noticed, he posts a snarky description, with stuff like

Shoddy lyrics, repeditive music and over usage of vocal distortion and masking get under your skin after the first two songs. If that doesn’t get to you, the entire heartbreak theme will. Man, this girl was depressed when she wrote this album. Folks, this is unadulterated live journal music. Not even Sascha K. or Bill Rieflin could save this album.

and so on.

So then over at the the Ultra Heavy Beat forum, the biggest KMFDM forum, someone posts asking what's up with KMFDM collaborator Raymond Watts. A bunch of people respond with drug rumors, and then KMFDM drummer Andy Selway shows up (as frequentlyfound) and claims that Raymond is just busy with real life.

So our snarky eBay friend SmackMaster511 shows up and jokes that Raymond's only priority in life should be music.

And so once again KMFDM leader Sascha Konietzko shows up (Kapt'n K), posts SmackMaster511's snarky comment about Raymond Watts, then posts SmackMaster511's snarky comment about Lucia's solo album from eBay. Yes, he took the time to connect this fan's eBay listing to his message board post. And then he tells SmackMaster511 off.

I'm sorry, but doesn't the leader of the band have anything better to do than track down and get into flamewars with every single KMFDM fan on the internet who doesn't worship him and all other KMFDM members 110%? He's making himself look like such a petty, humorless asshole.

Although, y'know, it's pretty damn funny.

Oh yeah, and not really related: There's a thread where people are trying to figure out who would play the members of KMFDM in a movie. (People do this with everything, don't they? There's one over at the Song of Ice and Fire board that's really funny.)

So they're trying to figure out who should play Raymond Watts. The general consensus is Johnny Depp. Heeee. And Gary Oldman and Hugh Jackman are also suggestions.

This amuses me immensely... like, look at the continuity between my TV/movie fandom tastes and my musical tastes!
