I believe
nope
it's totally when-err
it's wenn-er
Definitely my first music-related wank.
Lousy wiener
.
man, i did not know this
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Louise_Wener
Wener is now the author of three novels: Goodnight Steve McQueen, The Big Blind (retitled The Perfect Play) and The Half Life of Stars. She also teaches novel writing and poker courses, and has formed a new band 'Huge Advance' with partner Andy, although they currently only play in and around their residential suburb of Crouch End.
This reply
Is above and beyond the call of duty! I have read goodnight steve mcqueen and it is brilliant. Brilliant.
whats it like?
er...
much akin to high fidelity except if the main character was in a band rather than worked in a record shop. When-er or wiener though??
first one i think
the hot dog
pronunciation!
goodnight steve mcqueen
is bloody hilarious! i was so relieved when it turned out to be good. :)
John Harris (the journo)
is in Huge Advance also.
The name is clearly a reference to the "......half a million pounds and no one laughed" section of his book about Britpop.
I'll always say Wiener
even if it is wrong
I did quite like them
in my metal daze, weirdly enough, but she always seemed quite hated........
now look what you made me
do, I just re-bought 'The It Girl' for 67p from Amazon.......
Intrigued about all the hatred at the time?
They were alright I suppose
Although I can only remember four of their songs.
What Do I Do Now is great, though.
It's 'Wenner'
but saying 'Wiener' is so much more satisfying. Particularly considering she totally is one, like, yeah, Beavis? A-huh-huh-huh-huh-huh.
Oh, and I refuse to believe her books are any good. REFUSE.
Joe - wwa.anewbandaday.com
haha!
Now i'm watching the videos on youtube....
It's got to be Wee-ner
If it was when-er it would have two ns surely
Its pronounced
cunt.
i'm
bored
