i would surely have got shocked if this happened to me too, very deceived also i guess. now, i certainly wouldn't like being a rock star (or even an idm star) and have to deal with lots of fans. must get on your nerves, even if it's just for small things and asked politely (i know in the morning, or whenever i'm at my computer, when someone enters my room and even just talks to me it annoys me...) - and if you react badly, like he did, it's not only between you and the fan, lots of people get aware of it and it makes you a bad reputation... maybe Tom is asocial, maybe he's an asshole, maybe he was just nervous, maybe he is versatile - i don't know. can't tell with just one story. i really feel sorry for you pomme = / but maybe he was just nervous or in a bad mood or something. i haven't read any Tom Jenkinson interview yet... i've read a few Autechre ones and they seemed cold and antipathetic... i know the people from Godspeed You Black Emperor aren't very nice either... |

It's when you hand someone an eyeball which smells really bad. |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
oh ok |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
you'd think that in a 200+ post thread someone would've made that joke before you.. guess what? they have!! :D |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
is the stink eye related to the brown eye? |
||||||||
|
|

I was gonna put something about that in my post but unfortunately I wasn't aware of this at the time, having skipped through the entire thread to make the wisecrack. Thank you for the information. |

just because you appreciate someone's art doesn't mean they are obliged to be nice to you, or even speak to you. and just because he's famous doesn't mean he likes strangers coming up to him. if you weren't famous and you didn't like it that wouldn't change if you became famous he's not making music for the benefit of the fans...so he doesn't owe you anything |
||||||||
|
|

|

yes he does |

tom owes us EVERYTHING |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
no he doesn't. we buy his cds or we don't buy his cds. i don't think he sits at home worrying whether anyone will "dig" the intricate moments of ultravisitor or whatever. the nature of his music is such that its really personal to him, if someone else appreciates it that's lucky. but it doesn't oblige him to that person |

Recycle wannnnnts Tom's Soooooooooooooooooooooooul. |

morge, what i say goes ! tom owes us.............er nevermind, i agree w/you 100% i only like a few d&b []pusher songs, the rest is shite in my opinion the only thing ive bought was , if he releases something good, ill buy it |
||||||||
|
|

||||||||
|
|

||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i'm not saying what he did was excusable and of course it was stupid, cos you are putting a customer off im just saying people shouldn't be outraged by it, or assume he must've been on acid |

Autechre are pretty nice actually. Considering I walked up to them and drilled them on what software they used. Typical fanboy that I am. Should have been shit on immediately, but the were suprisingly very kind. Beautifuly delicate accents, too. There tour bus was shit, though. Looked like a garbage truck. |

» i can totally understand that tom would probably want some time to himself before a show, especially on a long tour where he's been on the road a lot. » i also understand that everyone has their bad moods. i'm sure there've been times when i was on edge enough to push some poor schmoe down for little reason. » i also understand that tom has no contractual obligation to be kind to every fan wanting to be seen with him. » i also understand that he may very well get very nervous before shows, and that he may not act like himself during that time. ... but, i think it should be understood that when touring as an artist you will make the vast majority of your money from people who REALLY like you & your work. and, if you're planing on being in close proximity to them (drinking at the public bar), there's a good chance one of these people, who look up to you, will approach you. if you can't deal with those people civilly then i think you should reasses your decision to tour publicly... or at the very least, hang out in their midst before a show. |

so you want me to have #28 AND #29 ? thats a lot of pressure on me |
||||||||
|

|
|
one thought : if pomme de terre would have asked him for a BJ would this incident of happened ? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yes, this is still THE GREATEST THREAD ON EARTH. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
beejay |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
How about if he'd asked him for a b7? Bemusement or arousal? The choice, friends, is yours. |
||||||||

I'm sure Squarepusher could suck a golfball through a garden hose. |
||||||||
|

I had tickets to see Squarepusher recently in Liverpool with the London Sinfonietta but couldn't go because I had to act in 3 plays that night. I've met Aphex at a gig, had a chat and cos I was so nervous and didn't want to ask typical fanboy questions I just said: "I'll talk to you later then." and didn't. But he let me take a photo of him and this bird, then the girl took a photo of me and him, and he put his arm around me. Don't think Tom would have done that judging by this thread. But I can't judge somebody by one incident. |

did you manage to touch his dick? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
is this story true? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yeah, if it's true, show the picture you said you took that pissed him off. I bet it is great. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i bet pusher took the film out... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
thats a bit below the belt |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
maybe you can see his dick hanging out |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
if he pushed you does that mean you're a square? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Maybe someone should start counting |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i made the first square joke....for the record |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I dont think Pomme actually got a picture. He was pushed away before it went 'click' methinks. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah i didnt actually take the picture.. didnt have a chance. it would have looked hillarious if I had got one though. And I promise this story is completely true. Love, Doctor Awesome ps- my new name is doctor awesome. |
