Inquiry to the Limeys

That was a smart move Jos. Anyone under 18 shouldn't use their real name, zip, or address I feel. It's just too inviting for the creeps of the world.

My favorite fake name to use for things, mostly RPG's and such, was Irriael . If you pronounce it into a recording and play it backwards, it will say my true given name from birth. I always thought it had a cool ancient sound to it. In Hebrew, it translates to Fire-Bad-God or Light-Disagreeable-God. Either way, that name is hard AF.

Wonder if anyone does that anymore...

I don't think so :) Not often anyway.

About 15 years back, people all had usernames with their real names and significant numbers tied in. JoeSchmoe90210

Then about 10 years ago a surge of people using drug related usernames. Everything became GanjaJohn420 or B0wl$moker.

I don't play video games as such, but people seem to still do it there, however ironically. Also social media account names...

Also I saw Explosions in the sky last night, thought you might be interested. It was a great performance, incredibly atmospheric. They mostly played stuff from "The Wilderness", and I started to get stressed they wouldn't play any stuff from "the earth is not a cold dead place", but they saved those for the last two, which was a brilliant way to end, if not slightly ruined by the yobs yelling there way along to "Your hand in mine". I would genuinely pay to watch just a straight run through of that album, its so good.

The support act was an odd combination of weird, and just a bit shit: he was a guy playing a right handed guitar left handed, so it was all back to front, and all of his songs, bar the final one, sounded exactly the same, just sort of crap, whimsical, faux-poetic protest song, with a vaguely latinesque guitar part in the background, which was essentially the same for every song, with little variation.

Then for his final act, he put down his guitar, asked if anybody knew the city of Baltimore, to which he received only sarcastic comments about if he knew various parts of West Yorkshire, then attached some bells to his wrist, and sang a really f*cking awful song, which was just totally disjointed, and sounded as if it had been written by a four year old, anti-vietnam protester, with the only instrumentation being him shaking his wrist in a violent arrhythmic fashion and stamping his foot a bit.

Obviously.

As a matter of fact I'm currently typing this while being held in Hull, in the basement of a 34 yr old bass player, having to listen to St Anger on loop, while he perpetually fills my ears with carrot peelings, and the kinks you cut off when you change a string. Everyday life here in the 'ol UK.

Jokes aside though, it didn't take me long to realise that most likely none of you EB guys are creeps (You can never be 100 percent sure, though ey ; ) ), but sometimes your better safe than sorry.

If I had a thing for young people, I have one of my own.... muwahahaha

Eh, sorely dissapointed in The Wilderness. Not sure if I like how the band is going back to songs like Greet Death and Will You Pass Through This Night. I heard EITS perform some of The Wilderness live and it just didn't feel right to me.

Nah, I'm not big on it. There first few albums were good, back when they used to have a lot of clever, and intertwining melodies, and interesting songwriting, now we just have generic post rock songs, with the occasional bit of shitty orchestration, or electronics, and a heavy focus on noise.

Yeah, just to make sure, I don't disclose much if anything online: as far as I'm aware at this point y'all know my name, and maybe the city where I live, but I'm not stressing over that at all really.

I carved his name and location into my arm Slayer style.

Even if I was a crazed super-chester, I wouldn't have the time or money to take a trip across the pond.

public statements like that are an excellent way to divert attention should one of the youngins go missing

get yourself crossed off the suspect list right away, nothing ruins a dinner date like a gaggle of interpol officers taking pictures from the next table
