Don’t Cry For MeMe….
RapturePonies, Adam Lacey and Leigh each tagged me in the Memes…
Rules: having been tagged, list six unknown facts about yourself. Tell your tagger you have posted.
Tag six new sources and personally inform them of their tagee-ness. Their submissions can be done on their own blogs or in the comment box below.
Werrrrgh? I felt a bit averse to posting a meme referencing the useless on this, a music blog.
So here’s a random Musical meme?
1) At a Tisch screening a few years ago, I told Sorcha Brennan to get out of shot so I could take a photo of Butterfly Explosion.
2) My first ever paid job for a band was to follow StoneOcean around Carlow for a day, which is when I met 79Cortinaz. I proceeded to take loads of photos, get ratted drunk, graffiti the toilets and was driven home asleep on my untouched battered sausage and chips.
3) I’m unbearably shy and always full of questions for the bands I meet that I never get to ask because a scamptious mental devil overrides sense with sheer inanity. When photographing The Cribs at Oxegen 2006 I almost blurted “your father should demand a DNA test!” at the youngest Jarman brother.
4) Before landing my work experience at HotPress, I only ever went to Whelans if I was plastered. Then I was barred and didn’t return for about seven years.
5) The first unsigned Irish CD I ever bought was The Jimmy Legs’ EP for £4 in Fibbers, a godawful creation with a neon pink Jack Russel on the cover, inside which they thanked God, their parents and John Player Blue.
6) I’m an awful, deaf, insomniac drummer.
I hereby tag six Irish musicians’ blogs and ask that they reveal six things about their band :
1) Deaf Animal Orchestra
2) The Eclectic
3) Team Fresh
4) Distractors
5) Queen Kong
6) Aortal

1) only two members of Team Fresh actually like Buckfast
2) Team Fresh own three Bengali Cats that can fetch and answer to their names… Gollum can now say her vowels
3) We got a security guard arrested in Belfast for being too trigger happy with authority and head-butting a fellow skater… the look on his face as the police took him away will make me smile to my grave.
4) A member of Team Fresh spat on an eejit in a Humvee in London. The Humvee driver decided to ram a wee taxi off the road and started shunting it out of the way. As the car drove past The Floorsweeper let fly with a big 4day old tour-gob which arched through the air in front of Marble Arch and landed square on the side of mister Humvee’s face… FREEDOM FOR TOOTING!
5) Team Fresh started out as Rory and Chops dj-ing… Rory lost all his records when his car got stolen in Belfast, so he got a guitar instead… Five years later and we’re back
6) Ah was gloaten up thon heifer when ah bag clapper of shite went and glarred me new shirt hey, cannae be goin oot in thon sir!
We tag
1) And So I Watch You From Afar
2) Axis Of
3) Panama Kings
4) General Fiasco
5) Fighting With Wire
6) La Faro

May 4th, 2008 at 12:09 pm
I thought it was hilarious!
May 4th, 2008 at 1:02 pm
Leigh: I was the first person to slow-clap. “well done Nay, you’ve excelled yourself once again…”
Sorcha : That’s cos you’re nice! Anyone else would’ve spat and forked the evil eye in my direction!

when i had the butterfly explosion play a set for me at the 3rd electric fix in 2005 (that long ago!!), i announced them on stage as the butterfly implosion - true story

What have you started Nay?? Nice job though. You may have begun something beautiful. And if I was photographing the Butterfly Explosion I would ask all the others to step outta shot EXCEPT Sorcha hahaha!

That’s pure class dude! And admitting embarrassing mistakes in such a public domain as this…even classier!
You can come back into the shot now Sorcha!!

LOL Cauls, I’d only use ‘classy’ on myself if it was a lifebelt and I was drowning…
I am a changed soul however. No more dancing on tables or sleeping on chips for me!

it took me ages to figure out what exactly im supposed to do.
ill get back to ya.
you’ll have to elaborate on number six,nay.
May 6th, 2008 at 11:58 am
Nice one Amy, can’t wait
What’s to elaborate…hrrrm? I love drums, bom-chk-a-chk-bom…they’re such brilliant stress relief and coupled with the weight of cameras, help bulk up my scrawny arms.
I’m no bloody good though: damaged my arm as a kid (a whole other Meme) and co-ordination’s banjaxed.
I get into the swing of it at home and have a laugh but ultimately freeze and make a show of myself if I ever attempt in public and with the amount of booze and bands I meet, is far too often
