I doubt it... woulda been pretty cool though! Why do you think they were?

By Quintal on Tuesday, March 19, 2002 - 05:01 pm:

Kewl.

By indigo on Tuesday, March 19, 2002 - 06:57 pm:

What the hell is Gilmore Girls? We don't get it in the UK. And I hadn't heard that rumour.... (not to imply that I spend a lot of my sad life on Blur/music/gossip/NME newsboards, but...)

By Carly on Thursday, March 21, 2002 - 12:26 pm:

neither damon nor graham were in the episode, although damon was mentioned once. the guys playing the buskers were both american.

By heather on Friday, March 22, 2002 - 10:41 am:

ohhhh thankyou. but did they IMPLY that the buskers were damon and graham? my friends told me all this, see; i dont think they know what blur looks like.

By Elbarto on Friday, March 22, 2002 - 11:32 pm:

hey mister i think a i hear a dingo eating your baby

By Carly on Friday, March 22, 2002 - 11:59 pm:

no, they didn't imply that they were damon and graham.... you saw both buskers quite clearly and heard 'em both talk.... there was no implication... rory said something (i can't remember what....) and ling replied 'do you swear? do you swear on the lead singer of blur??'

and there you have it...

?osting: I made a lomplete arse of my self in Pizza Hut today when 2 absolutely gorgeous blokes (one looked like Johnny Greenwood, the other one was just as delicious, with black, sort of spiky hair which had all little streaks of red all the way through it), walked in. In shock (this is not a usual occurence in Pizza Hut) i dropped a particularly greasy slice of pepperoni with extra cheese down the front of my top. leaping up, scalded, I then managed to knock over my friend's Diet Coke into a plate of coleslaw. If this was not embarassing enough, she starts hitting me with a napkin and shrieks, "stop gawping at those blokes!" at which point every man in the place turns around - EXCEPT THE TWO GORGEOUS ONES who are both laughing behind a menu.
*sigh*

By indigo on Sunday, March 24, 2002 - 09:22 am:

ok, I don't know what happened to my typing at the beginning of that post. And for lomplete, read complete.

By Lucky on Sunday, March 24, 2002 - 11:38 am:

Hahahahaha! Oh dear, Indigo!

By indigo on Monday, March 25, 2002 - 09:27 pm:

ah well, I cringed at home for a while, then snapped out of it and went to see Weezer at Brixton. Lovely. I hadn't realised quite how fit the skinny guitar player is, until I spent 90 minutes staring at him from the barrier - we were about 6 feet apart, and I was on the front row. I love Brixton Academy, it's so intimate, in a big way - and during the encore of Buddy Holly, the audience was lit up, and Mr Fit Guitar Player (as he shall henceforth be known) looked straight at me (tallest person in his line of vision, compared with all the short emo girls hanging onto the barrier, moshing like a mad thing and chucking this blokes pint of cider at the security guard) and my mate (a short emo girl, but blonde and with two very obvious assets for most blokes - as you can tell, we stood out a bit) and HE SMILED! Ah, he looked into my eyes and smiled...... nevermind that he was probably just looking at a camera, by this point I was excited enough to scream my head and attempt to jump the barrier.
oooh what a lovely night!

By heth on Wednesday, March 27, 2002 - 11:05 am:

isnt that exciting when that happens.. ? or you saee someone famous on the street, fucking helle. those moments kill me.

By indigo on Wednesday, March 27, 2002 - 01:55 pm:

you know, the only famous person I've ever seen on the street was Max Clifford, and that was in a restaurant in Majorca. Oh no, I tell a lie - I once saw Graham going into a pub just outside Camden, but i was too scared to follow him in. *sigh*

At this very moment, I am listening to Modern Life Is Rubbish, for the first time in about a year. Ah! random shuffle on my CD player just threw up Coping! the emphasis is on coping... when i feel this strange, can I go through this again....

By OpenRomantic on Wednesday, March 27, 2002 - 05:06 pm:

I totally know how you feel Indigo! Even though they say that about 50% of the people in the first few rows of a concert will claim that they made some sort of eye contact with one of the performers I actually have! Almost a year ago I saw Idlewild open for Placebo. I had made a sign for them and RODDY LOOKED RIGHT AT ME!! It was at ME and not at anyone around me cos I stood out with my sign! I was the only one with a sign. He smiled and gave ME this “Where have you been all my life/Will you marry me?” look! I of course gave him a “YES!!!” look! *sigh* I just wish I wasn’t so paranoid about getting my camera taken away and saved all my pictures for Placebo. Idlewild were so much better!

By Lucky on Wednesday, March 27, 2002 - 06:02 pm:

Cool. I can't ever tell if someone's making eye-contact with me anymore. Glasses-time.

By OpenRomantic on Thursday, March 28, 2002 - 01:38 pm:

Ha ha. I didn't have my glasses with me but I'm still convinced I caught his eye!

By Nathallie on Friday, March 29, 2002 - 10:12 pm:

Idlewild were supposed to have opened for Placebo when I saw them, but for some reason they pulled out ... oh why? And so did the Hives when I went to see the international noise conspiracy. *sigh* ...

Indigo, I squealed for you! (and you're thinking, errrkay ... so?) But I did. Heheh. I love your stories.

Have a great day -

~ Hallie.

oh, and Ling on Gilmore Girls seems pretty cool. Like when she was grounded and came up with an elaborate plan for the main girl to sneak in the new Belle and Sebastian single ... or so I've heard. I've actually only seen portions of two episodes of the show. Maybe I'll get hooked by that cheap "she likes cool bands!" aspect. (*strokes chin* - perhaps ... )

By indigo on Saturday, March 30, 2002 - 12:42 pm:

ooooh I just got my tickets for glastonbury and V2002! V looks rather shit I have to say, with Stereophonics and David Gray and various other dull bands... but hopefully Glastonbury will be cool! I wanna see the hives and the Strokes and Vex Red and Cooper Temple Clause and Electric Soft parade and ooooohhh so many bands!

By lampoon on Saturday, March 30, 2002 - 02:34 pm:

oh fuck off indigo you stupid filthy little slag, you're just a fucking teenybopper yourself.
why dont you go and crawl back into the dirty fat stinking hole you climbed out from and hide your ugly shit-spewing face from us normal people you braindead, ugly, sick waste of perfectly good Oxygen.
You are a waste of human skin, I'd stab you to death but it would be such a waste staining a perfectly good knife!
just go to hell, though i wouldnt wish the people down there to be graced with such a pathetic, depressing existance such as yourself

bitch.

By Lucky on Saturday, March 30, 2002 - 03:19 pm:

Looks like a certain person can't go away when he said he would... A.G.A.I.N.
Bank holiday comes six times a year...

The Hives and the Strokes??? Sheesh and I call myself lucky!

By Noel on Saturday, March 30, 2002 - 10:22 pm:

Stop acting like a knob.

By Graham on Saturday, March 30, 2002 - 10:34 pm:

Oasis are pretty thick people, but if what they do sells a lot of records, I really don't mind.

By Liam on Saturday, March 30, 2002 - 10:40 pm:

Being a lad is what I'm about. I can tell you who isn't a lad - anyone from Blur

By thom on Saturday, March 30, 2002 - 10:43 pm:

oasis are a joke aren't they? it's just lots of middle class people applauding a bunch of guys who act stupid and write really primitive music. then people say 'oh it's so honest'.

By Damon on Saturday, March 30, 2002 - 10:43 pm:

There was a time when any pop star who even admitted to enjoying books was dismissed as a middle-class twat. They've virtually given up on calling me a middle-class twat now because I've actually admitted, "Yes, I am a middle-class twat" about a million times, so they've given up now!

By Graham on Sunday, March 31, 2002 - 10:41 pm:

I like the odd song. I think "Live Forever" is really nice, and I think their big anthems like "Don't Look Back In Anger" and "Wonderwall" are pretty good, and I like "Supersonic".

By heatherheather on Thursday, April 4, 2002 - 09:14 am:

what a cutie. why are they so quietly spoken? i'm listening to this interview i downloaded and damon just MUMBLES and makes the interviewer uncomfortable because he doesnt answer the question sufficiently enough.. actually when you think about it thats quite clever making someone feel inadquate by not saying anything and mumbling.

hm, indeed
