The Interference Thread Survivor - Preliminary Nostalgia

[LemonMelon]

That's just rubbing salt in the wound. *sniff*

Probably still the funniest thing I've ever seen on Interference.

Dark horse to this keeper from Peefer:

If Dalton is in, I'm in. We're going to take this to the house, Devin Hester style.

Especially the part where you're afraid of THE CLICK! in Random:

Yeah! I think not long after I started posting in the unpopular thread and slowly wormed my way into Random.

Random has had how many threads with your name in the title in only 3 years?

Laz was little more than a ball of sincerity for ages. He's still overly earnest about certain things, but it's tempered by his being a sarcastic asshole with no filter. It's intriguing to read his early shit, back when he used smilies every third word.

And his old threads in Dream Out Loud.

Laz has a secret soft spot for me

Well, duh, I know all about his man-crush. I was just wondering if you kept track.

People always have a bad image of Random until they actually post there.

You fuck one brownie and it sticks with you forever.

You don't say...

Laughing at this probably harder than I should be.

Daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaamn

Theres a couple of clumbsy lines best examples would be imo

"all good things must come to a bend,
the hump on the back of the camel skin"

These two really don't push forward the narrative at the end of the first stanza, leaving me uneasy as where to go next, but to generalise the whole thing, it's alright imo but not great and works as a simplistic yet effective polemic

Christgau wouldn't have been so harsh.

 

[Reggo]

At what point did Laz go from this

hey no sweat...the fact that you are interested in reading and commenting on other people's work, trying to help them improve, says a lot.

good luck on your next endeavor


laz

to this

Throw these on the to-do list:

VAGINAL CYSTERY TOUR

Uhh, where do you see this?

Because a search of all my posts only goes back 500, I had to manually go into the LS archive and try to find threads I may have posted in. This is the first thing I stumbled across, a little less than a year after I joined:

http://www.u2interference.com/forum...-pathetic-musicians-142025-2.html#post2990358

and from the same thread:

Here's a bit of your "earnest". No smilies though:

And I think "asshole" was around a lot earlier than you believe:

Pretty proud of that one.

to this

 

[lazarus]

Certainly the Dream Out Loud thread is going to be an exception, as it's for original creations. Not exactly an appropriate place for assholery and sarcasm.

 

[lazarus]

And this is the important part in that thread:

zerodude, seriously.

his work is the most interesting thing dream out loud has seen in a very, very long time. i was actually able to read it all the way through without wanting to scratch my eyes out, which - in this forum - is pretty good.

that said, i did enjoy thanksgiving skin trade more than this one.

good work, laz

Fair point. But back then, you were much less of the sarcastic asshole we all know and love, or maybe you just had more of a filter.

 

[LemonMelon]

Ah, my apologies. Not smilies. Exclamation marks!

"Every Rose Has It's Thorn" gallops up alongside "Wanted Dead or Alive" (BJ's only good song) and lassoes it into the pseudo-country dirt where it belongs.

Ah, there he is.

Ok, that's pretty bad.

Worse is me signing my posts at the bottom.

I hate when people do that.

 

[LemonMelon]

On a serious note, what made you switch genres, Laz? I dug your DOL shit. Do you still write at all in that capacity?

Thanks. The poetry vein is pretty dried up, unfortunately. I wrote something short around a year ago.

I blame high-speed internet. Almost everything I write is from just letting the mind wander and free-associating from the subconscious, and if I do that now I'm just tempted to start searching for things online.

I'd be more bothered by it if I wasn't working on a film, that's for sure.

 

[Reggo]

Oh, yeah, is that still going well?

I can relate. I had gotten 220 pages into my novel and the momentum ceased as soon as classes resumed. Do I have free time? Of course, but it's so much easier to screw around online.

I maintain that, for me, creative writing is a lot easier to keep up simultaneously with a work schedule than music ever was. Tuning shit, untangling cables, setting up mic levels...fuck it. I can fire up Word whenever. But I still don't.

It all went downhill when our journals became blogs.

What's Atlanta, Gernany?

Clearly cheating.




In all seriousness though..Atlanta Germany is a place (cue best Lewis Black impression) STRAIGHT OUTTA THE FUCKING TWILIGHT ZONE, MAN!!

Wait - there's a pre-asshole Laz? Laz has been an (rather endearing) asshole since day 1! I need to look up this "earnest Laz" character, never heard of 'im! lol

Laz I always assumed (incorrectly?) that you were the same Laz from old Wire days..in which case, you've remained pretty constant/true to original form...and that's a good thing...I quite like the sarcasm just the way it is.

Worse is me signing my posts at the bottom.

Yeah that seems like a carry-over from Wire..I think that's where I first got that idea, anyways.

A few of these elude me too, truth be told.
