i maybe second this.maybe
and by answering your own question, i render this thread purposeless
..
short answer: yes, with a but
long answer: no, with a maybe
Hi!
Except I dont wear skinny jeans.
Bye!
Are you a fatty?
You sound like a fatty.
^
^
perhaps partially.
but not really.
I'm gonna say yes
nope, its all down to fat people.
Not everything
but more than they've any right to.
yes, obviously
I don't like any bands where the men wear skinny jeans
yes you do
cutting pink with knives
adam green
?
...or
was that sarcastic?
I blame
Doherty!
I think the emphasis on a certain look
does detract from the whole idea of independent music.
The same's true of a certain sound I guess.
I suppose it's proof that anything, no matter how much it attempts to defy genre convention, becomes a genre in itself eventually.
HERE HERE!!
Dear Paul
When was the last time you didn't take a thread too seriously?

Dear Dawn
Thank you for your kind letter dated 15:33 on 16th May regarding when the last time I was I didn't take a thread too seriously.
I think my posts confuse people. I rarely actually take anything seriously at all (even the political discuss threads when I embroil myself in them). I give reasoned and logical answers, often needlessly, but I'm not actually taking anything seriously. I think sometimes my sense of humour comes across as very dry on the internet and my posts'd come off totally different if I was talking in real life.
Hope this resolves the confusion, or further confuses as appropriate.
Best wishes
Paul Hawkins
paul hawkins is sexist
(let's see if he takes this seriously)
I really want to write a long-winded rationed answer
and am having to physically restrain myself...
Paul Hawkins is apolitical
(go on!)
Stop tempting me!!!
Paul Hawkins bottom lip is MASSIVE!!
*:(
sadpunk?
Paul Hawkins fave film is Grindhouse!
>:-D
Too far...
Too far...
paul
You forgot to add 'My posts are very long'.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
You're literally correct.
I meant to include that!
large part yeh
no
shit indie music is to blame for everything shit about indie music.
Harsh
but true.
Harsh, because I am a whippet-thin cunt who owns two pairs of skinny jeans.
True, because it just is, that's all.
He sounds like me that Bundoz
and eerily we both were in bands with THE SAME Drummer
EERIE
yes
i hate thoose scenster cunts
Did men have no arses and golf clubs for legs during the Britpop wars?
I didn't. SADFACE
A very SKINNY drummer too!
you never did tell me what happened!
jeeez
what's with picking on the skinnies today? :'''(
summer
is at war with skinny jeans, you sweaty bumcrack twunts. FEAR IT.
Hasn't it always been...
...whippet-thin cunts in skinny jeans.
Surely this is the Indie prototype?
