Should jamesmcleay stop posting on NZMUSIC.COM????

Forums: NZ Music,

I like the Ned Flanders comparison

I liked my Tom Cruise on the couch with Autumn Stone as Katie Holmes better. But that's just me.

No probs here Tane- you're a good egg.

i must confess his posts drove me up the wall til i met him in person. quite possibly one of the nicest people in the wellington music scene.

jamesmcleay.com perhaps?

you find him nice do you?
Would you take him back to meet your mother?

he has a certain pathological charm. Fools a lot of people I'd say.

I like his posts .. no probs here either.

Jeeze could this poll slander someone personally more?

I have no problem with Tane, certainly one of the more reasonable people I've met in the music "industry".

//could this poll slander someone personally more?

Yeah, damnit, who started this topic?

heh, _read_ people! it appears he suggested it himself..

right on homeboy,
nothing like getting conversation rolling about yerself to project a little self legendising

wait a minute.
he made this post up so we can talk about him more.
what a weird thing to do

Yeah, but to be fair it was made on the same day as this one, http://www.nzmusic.com/topic.cfm?i=15591, and that day was in the middle of last year.

Oh and Tane, I hope it wasn't you that asked Lou Barlow for $25 doorcharge when he turned up to play at Bodega, as reported in todays paper. (I ask you here cos I figure anyone who likes writing about themselves has gotta like reading about themselves, and as such you will be drawn here).

Oh and Ladies and Gentlemen, come to Bodega tonight and watch as Dragstrip is hit up for a door charge to go to his own gig at Bodega. And then come to Katipo Cafe tomorrow and watch the same thing happen again in different suroundings.

Grruncchhhkk. Is that the sound of the old NZM engine starting up again?

I don't think it was Tane but good on the door man for doing his job! Its hard sometimes, everyones got an excuse, I'm sure if it did happen Lou found it funny anyway! Good story

Lets just reiterate: this is not a serious topic. It's a stroke of self-promo genius that even Blink will be kicking himself that he didn't do it first.

how many times have you even posted? don't worry, some of us have made much bigger asses of ourselves here. To the point where there's no going back.

a beautiful remark

What I like about this man the most is that 1) he's a teacher (am I right? I get that impression) 2) he is a passionate music person who does good work and promotes the crap out of whoever he's working with/for. Good on ya, Tane.

go tane

james inst too bad aye. shouldnt this poll/thread/concept/ned flanders likeness be saved for Jesus Crux?

Good Lord.

I started this poll months ago after the Autumn Stone Tour when (a very very small but very very vocal group of) people went crazy at me!

I always thought that when you submitted a poll it had to be approved/uploaded etc etc by NZMUSIC administration. Dragstrip pointed out to me (after his gig with Vocoder and Bored Gordon at Bodega on Saturday) how you can 'activate' polls which seems to have happened a few times recently.

Good stuff!

oops I mean

//..showed me...how you can 'activate' polls

show me.

Oh,

He just told me about starting discussions or something and that 'activates' a poll???????

I haven't done it. I'll try now going to past polls or archived or some such and see............. although you should know I suppose!

Let me have a fiddle and see if I can activate something hehehehehehehe :-)

I was told once not just to write - by that busy person from Nelson or thereabouts taht I can't recall the name of!

oh I see what you mean.

That doesn't actually "activate" a poll, it just turns it also into a forum topic (which includes the poll at top of the topic). Polls can exist in the footer of the site without having a topic attached to them, until someone makes a comment.

Little confusing as most BB's do that for every poll.

Now your previous comment about the grinding up/winding/cranking of the machine makes sense!

Dragstrip also explained to me about seeing all the posts in chronological order - I see the last three and some pages I see the last ten. I don't know if I would want to see more than that but now understand how some people can reply to you 'immediately' even when you posting in completely different parts of the site!

Mr Macleay is a generous human being, he drove me to Kaponga after work at 1.30am today, as he had to be back befor lunch... all in support of ginger brown becoming moble. Thanks Tane- you'll never be beaten when it comes to road trip adventures. vote "Own forum" Joe
