Off Topic This is the time I like to call the 'gentlemen' hour

Hey NWPJ


clearly i'm just a night owl now. avoided the forum all day since the diego forlan thread () but i've returned for Chappaz's gentlemen hour(s)

 

Morning!

 

I dont understand

clearly. Think I've only posted there & on the fifa ps3 thread today.

 

Me neither, I just hadn't used that smiley before and thought it would make a change from just saying hello.

 

was for converse yeah. they got a shed load of free converse for it too. got a nice pay for it n all. converse do that banner thing every few years i think (seen like Karen O and Billie Joe do it in the past. and like the strokes) get a few big names to do a song and then some up and coming bands and then plaster it in shoe shops and the like, a technique just to like show they're still 'in with the crowd' i think haha

erm, the band are kinda semi managed by a couple of the Kaiser Chiefs boys. The Kaiser drummer and bass player set up a label called Chewing Gum Records and they've released two of their singles off it. so they set them up with the converse deal i think. got Steve Lamacq sniffing round them too, he's been kinda bigging them up for a couple of years. looking to get signed to either rough trade or transgressive records. all up in the air at the minute though, kinda at that stage where they could either hit or flop.
hopefully they'll make it big then take our band with them haha

bastards, they've been so lucky

 

What's the Diego Forlan thread all about? Cant be bothered trolling through it all. I dont post here that often, but I do prefer the evenings to the daytime....i find it really tedious during the day.

 

Whats the bands name mate?

 

Some WUM decided he had seen Diego Forlan somewhere near SJP.

 

And decided to make an article....tit. A Mackem per chance?

 

they're called The Neat. a quick google should cook up enough results. unheard of at the minute really. very very underground. kinda like the fall/pil mix with whacky radiohead esque guitar ****. loads of **** with pedals ha.

 

aye, i just whacked one on there then buggered off to look for houses. i've been spying all night but nothing brilliant has been happening really. start of the season couldn't come quick enough really..

 

Turned out to be I think, pretended he wasnt. Cant blame him, I'd pretend I wasnt a Mackem too.

 

Ah. I've been working then hit up the pub. Didn't expect to miss much considering the current ****e I've been reading through recently!

 

ooft, wouldn't mind the pub right now... shame my bastard house mates have bloody left me

no one fancy coming to manchester now to keep me company?

 

cee lo green @ glasto. mental costume going on.

 

I vaguely remember you mentioning them the other night actually. I'll have a listen to them now...im so bored. Should really start on the hunt for a studio flat.

 

I'm falling asleep now. Wouldnt be much company How'd the househunt go? Find anything better than what you found already?

BBC2?

 

I'll pop down and bring these old lottery tickets with me.

 

I'll gander over with some 'Schmokes'
