Smile - Lilly Allen. The happiest sorta reggae/sorta ska song about getting revenge on a cheating partner. Plus, she's freaking adorable. [QT]
Thanks LT! Many monkey hugs your way! I meant to ask you a bit back if you'd been the one who posted a certain version of Spiritualized - Ladies And Gentleman We Are Floating In Space waaaaaaaay back. The only ones I can find have him claiming he doesn't think can ever love her again and the one I grabbed here claims just the opposite. I can't remember if I got it here or on IRC...yes that far back in the day. =)
Weren't me, Frazzleberry Girl. I'm not all that into Spiritualized meself.
Possible culprits: Hellbient, Box, Mosch.
I'm sorry, I must go now. Band of Horsies is now on WOXY.com, which means I must stare at the window wistfully and get a delightfully tight feeling in my chest.
Ok, I get it. I give up posting here. All of the reminders of how someone else got there first are wearisome. I've always tried to respect the preference that we not double post, but didn't know it had changed into a carping point.
So's you know, I tried three different search angles, each one with and without quotations on her name alone and the song title searching both posts and comment. Nothing. I'd've never tried to steal your thunder seanyboy and it's quite nice that you got there first and you had the opportunity to remind people. Good on you.
I'm amused that the link to seanyboy's "previously" has the footnote to its previous link "fuck you". Seanyboy, this isnt Metafilter, it's inappropriate to think that it is. I didn't see any of the admins getting fruity about the multitudinous postings of the pink italian mountain rabbit (ie previously, today). Linking back to your own post does seem a little smug and self-serving even tho that might not have been your intent.
And Fris, you know how much we love you, so don't give up on us completely.
I'm amused that the link to seanyboy's "previously" has the footnote to its subsequent link "Charles Simic," a post I made with some really good poetry in it. I love this place!
I like Frisbee Girl, double posts, pints and thinking that seanyboy means to point to additional videos, rather than, y'know, carp. I'm kinda undecided on Ms. Allen, though I'm always happy to see a responsesong, no matter how ridiculous.
Wow, the stress of Christmas shopping must be getting to some people. Not that I presume to speak for seanyboy (not that it will shut me up), but I really don't think there was any carping going on (well, unless he also has fish in his pants). I saw that it was just a helpful pointing-out of some more stuff on the same topic.
Oh, my. friz, darling... you've definitely got it wrong! Seanyboy is absolutely not like that at all (at all, at all!). And double posting never was and still isn't a big deal... more like something to have fun with in various ways.
*loves frisbee, loves seanyboy, boils over with lavahot love in a distinctly affectionate puddle on the floor*
Firstly, I was pointing out the response songs because I thought they were funny, And I was saying, Hey - look at me - I posted this before. Aren't I clever.
I wasnae trying to steal any thunder or be mean. If I'm being 100% honest. my ego was a bit bruised that my original post elicited 0 comments and this post elicited more but that's my problem. I hold no anger about this.
And hey - I've earned my quota of pink bunnies on hills also. It's a tradition.
Thanks for the email, seany. I guess what confused me was that you didn't say, "Hey - look at me - I posted this before. Aren't I clever." Which, to be honest, you are. But the links being posted without further comment...seemed to be making a statement of a different nature.
I always defend doubles because often they're things that I'd missed previously and unless the link was posted so as to provide quick access to good conversation in the first thread or perhaps additional relevant links, I've always felt that pointing it out as a double to be rather petty and tactless. But that's my problem.
Um, can Taz do that whole "lava boiling over" thing again? And, um, could I possibly have Frisbee Girl dancing in a bunny costume behind her while Seanyboy stands in the corner reciting A Christmas Story whilst wearing Bishop's robes?
I think the double-post thing on MeCha has evolved to being wholeheartedly in favor of them. But we still point them out, affectionately-like. And maybe that happened while you were away for a bit?
'pode, prolly, in any event, the spazatron is now gone. [Hell, maybe I should just double post myself and get into a snit about it. It would be sort of like a cock punch, no?]
In other news, I had a dream this morning that seanyboy offered me twice baked cookies and I had a good laugh.
