thanks once again everyone who replied. i really laughed at some of these,
esp. mike "hot" coals - ouch!
>KILLING JOKE'S WORST EVER:
>
>1. PRODUCER
since jaz and geordie themselves hated it i'll copy everyone else and say
the hippy who cocked-up DEMOCRACY. £30000 for that?!?! i could have done
better for £30. i'm not sure the album was strong enough anyway, mind you,
so even conny plank would have struggled (being dead wouldn't have helped
either). also kimsey on BTATS deserves a dishonourable mention.
>2. DANCE MIX
i don't agree with the people who say they're all bad but the ones with just
a few samples and a beat do suck several shades of shit. i'll say the LLB
one just because it was a great single and remixed purely from a cynical
money-making motivation.
>3. CONVENTIONAL REMIX
i meant the extended sort of mixes, like the ones from the 12"s around 84-86
or any other non-dance sort of remix. that 'sanity' insane mix always bugged
me.
>4. MISSED OPPORTUNITY
not letting peter hook join after 'pandemonium'. there was some chemistry on
those two improvised tracks.
>YOUR WORST EVER...
>
>5. JOB
i hate all jobs but the worst was as a secretary at burnley college because
i was stressed out beyond description and one of the other secreatary
developed a crush on me an stalked me for several weeks. and no i'm not just
saying that because it sounds cool it really did freak me out big style.
>6. DECISION
joining the gathering.
>7. SEXUAL EXPERIENCE
the things i regret the most in the regard are the ones i bottled out of but
paying for it was pretty demeaning. (antoni, was there an orgy last year?)
>8. MISTAKE
i think y'all know what that is! no, she's great. um... i took the wrong
course at uni.
>9. EBARRASSING INCIDENT
my whole life is a small, insignificant but highly embarrassing incident.
>THE WORST EVER...
>
>10. GIG YOU'VE BEEN TO
got a free ticket to see STING at newcastle arena and was sat so far away
you couldn't even see the bank of tv monitors, nevermind him. and he's a bit
of a smug dick anyway.
>11. ALBUM YOU'VE BOUGHT
i bought this album by a band called BRIDGE AND TUNNEL coz the bloke in the
record store recommended it and it was just like complete nothing i dunno
what CHEMICAL BROS ripoff i can't even describe but it was drivel.
>12. SINGLE YOU'VE BOUGHT
a B*WITCHED single.
>13. FILM YOU'VE PAID TO SEE
SHOWGIRLS.
>14. BOOK YOU'VE READ
KING OF COOL the ian mcculloch biog. it was just a brown-nose job. and he's
not cool, he's a pinhead. i don't even know why i bought it.
>15. TV SHOW YOU'VE SEEN
jugde judy.
>16. MUSIC VIDEO YOU'VE SEEN
i can't argue with antoni.
>17. HOLIDAY YOU'VE HAD
i went for a weekend in paris with the sole aim of getting off with someone
but she shagged her new stunningly good-looking flat mate instead while i
had a wank.
>18. CRIME YOU'VE COMMITTED
consiparcy to cause criminal damage (not malicious!). used to steal cigs
from peoples' jackets at the uni library cloakroom, too.
>19. LIE YOU'VE TOLD
i love you.
"pristeen, pristeen, how much does it take..." - one for the copey fans.
>20. OTHER VERY BAD THING YOU DID
took a buddhist vow that i had absolutely no real intention or any ability
whatsoever to keep.
