Yes!
If there is only one other appreciator of this man's genius on this earth, I am made happy by this.

"Having lunch with a White Woman
Everybody wants to have a White Woman
She's a caucasian
I'm a caucasian
You know it's got to be a
White Woman!

Sometimes when I'm a little sad and lonely
I pick up a pen and pad
Jot down a few items that I
Wish I had
When I'm in a Pickle
I'm in a Stew
Just add the celery and
Dream of You!

She's a caucasian
I feel like a Eurasian
Standing on the tabletop
Looking at the view!"

I think they started dating in 1992, and have been living together since 1995.

The only place I've ever heard them discuss their relationship publicly is in a Charlie Rose interview they did together in 2003.

Lou Reed's cover of the Wire (circa 'the Raven') mentions it. Laurie Anderson's Invisible Jukebox (same mag, a few years earlier) also mentions it.

Cantankerous 09.15.2006 07:09 PM

oh god. laurie anderson looks bad now.

Glice 09.15.2006 07:10 PM

Meh. I would.

Cantankerous 09.15.2006 07:12 PM

luxinterior 09.15.2006 07:15 PM

Is that a messenger bag?

Cantankerous 09.15.2006 07:17 PM

i still say he's wrapped in a garbage bag.

luxinterior 09.15.2006 07:21 PM

Oh he is. He just loves....bags. I guess.

nature scene 09.15.2006 07:37 PM

totally, with type o it's their intention, even thought their music seems tedious to me now. cradle are spot on, but i rather have dimmu borgir, all i need is to see their name and my ribs start aching.

Glice 09.15.2006 07:46 PM

Exactly. Pantomime. There's no point criticising it, it's already taking the piss out of itself.

Like Dragonforce. I've heard people say, "It's just solos and silly lyrics". For fucks sake. Of course that's all it is. That's fucking fun, you schleps!

Everyneurotic 09.15.2006 07:54 PM

yep, nothing ironic or intellectual, just what it is.

i sort of side more with carnivore than type o, they were a lot more offensive and musically better.

i sort of think it's stupid when people try to make a debating point on something like power metal or rap rock or eurodance, trying to prove that it's bad music.

Rep, EveryNeurotic, etc.

It's something that annoys me a lot actually. Particularly 'alternative' fans, they tend to think you should have this ultra-austere appreciation of everything, only deeply serious music can be appreciated. Funnily enough, none of them listen to the really heavy stuff... they'll take some rubbish punk band ultra-seriously, but wouldn't find themselves within a country mile of das rheingold (or whatever).

So yeah. Silly music. Rocks!

People Like Us can be quite funny/ridiculous at times.

that reminds of an article tim sommer wrote about how he and his friends thought they were hot shit, so hip and underground just because they listened to elvis costello and the jam, saying how to them they were the most radical music ever when they were miles away from the real underground stuff like neu!, terry riley or the residents and how they denied themselves stuff like blue öyster cult, whom he now appreciates them now that he's a little above the bullshit scene/indie cred stuff.

at the end of the day, music is what it does to you, it has little or nothing to do with it's intentions or it's justifications. unless people don't listen to music and just like to throw names around to seem cool...
