Nouvelle vague @ the metro this evening for me.

Is it too early for Taylor to be captain?!
sammynb replied to bassplayerjj's topic in Newcastle Forum
From another thread: http://www.toontastic.net/board/index.php?...14538&st=20 Yes humility. He's currently not good enough to be first choice and as has been mentioned on here a number of times by others he believes he should be starting 11 regardless. Just a though lets wait and see who all the players are the Sam brings in. -

Yes, it is to early. The boy needs to learn some humility before he will be good enough to captain Newcastle. -
Fat man - still ill (allegedly) Chris Mort - Laura's man! That help?

Thank pissflaps, I can't remember the last time anyone called me something so useful.

Probably not as much as Bellamy.

If Brock really wants Moby Dick, I'll post my copy to him just to get the fucker off my bookshelf! Melville does my head in with his inane style, which I know is harsh considering how important the work is in American literature. I think I'd rather recommend the Scarlett Letter by Nathaniel Hawthorne if you really need to subject yourself to that period of American literature. I know it's a different era but I much prefer John Steinbeck's work for an insight into America's backwater undercurrent.

On the road by Kerouac is a really classic American book. Probably my favourite ever. I've just finished Chisel beach by Mcewan (his latest). Thought it was brilliant. If you want his best work read the innocent though imo. Currently reading Lunar Park by Easton Ellis. Not quite finished and struggling to imagine how this will end satisfactorily, good reading anyway though. Spot on there with Kerouac. Have you read 'Big Sur'? It's sort of a follow up to 'On The Road' only ten years or so later when he's famous and cynical as fuck (not to mention paranoid too). Quite grim but excellent nonetheless. And a self destructive alcoholic. When interviewed by Carson, Kerouac was asked why he drank so much. To which he replied, "I'm catholic and it is a mortal sin to commit suicide but there is nothing in the bible to stop me drinking myself to death." On the other side of the beat poet tracks have you read Junky or Naked Lunch by William S Burroughs? I've got Naked Lunch sat on the bookshelf at home in my 'to read' bit. I've read 'Junkie' though. Tis a good read. Charles Bukowski's my favourite of that era though. I find Burroughs heavy going. Personally Junkie (originally released as junky) was easy, naked lunch was very camp but Hunter S Thompson, now there is hard work.

Magma, fuck off back to YOUR thread

Did they do Accidently Kelly street or bizzare love triangle? They did the former I think. Oh. She was cute but a bit of a waster. And allegedly had too many piercings for Gemmill. Just to clarify, why is this discussion here?

I'm really hoping we lose him before then, tbh.

Find out Monday and let us know??? After you've watched the documentary or for anyone that's just interested you can download all of the Brian Jonestown Massacre's catalogue of music from their site for free, you just need to be able to use .ogg files or have an audio converter. Anton Newcombe might be a right twat but he can write a good song: http://www.brianjonestownmassacre.com/

I'm really glad to see who Sam has been trying to sign but we are going to lose a few players during the African Cup of nations. Possibly, depending on who comes or goes but possibly Obi, Baba, Geremi, Beye.

canofbeans, see that's the thing about these morrison pedals, he's making them by hand, ensuring all the parts are exactly what they are meant to be using the original big muff schematics so they are as good as the originals.

He'll end up playing here in the Australian league.

The fat heed knocked in two on Satruday night, so it's not such a bad thing to have on your target man!

Imagine with the current new owner and board if Gazza, Waddle and Pedro were coming through the junior ranks now!

Tom, got a message from Paul at Morrison Audio yesterday, he's just finished a couple of tube squealers if you're quick. http://cgi.ebay.com.au/Morrison-Audio-Equi...1QQcmdZViewItem

I watched a very good documentary last night called Dig! which is about the parallel careers of two bands, The Brian Jonestown Massacre and The Dandy Warhols. I won't go into to much detail as you really should see it for yourself, or not if you want the main protagonist from the BJM opinion but suffice to say it's an interesting look at the music scene and the egos/talent/hangers-on/A&R/violence with in it. Also Brian Jonestown Massacre is playing a gig at the Newcastle Academy 2 next Monday 9 July. So if you like Jesus and Mary Chain, Black Rebel Motorcycle Club, the Scientists, John Spencer Blues Explosion, basically that 60s rock sound and you don't mind the chance that the band will end up trying to punch fuck out of each other on stage during the gig, it would be a good performance to see.
