if you say anything bad about this man, i will hunt you down and punch you in the neck.

So, does he need help with his grammar and learning how to KEEP IT DOWN?

where do you live?

i suppose it's years of drugs and crap. he's cleaned up now, but he's still DA MAN!

At least his blog is amusing.

I have a particular dislike of the man, McGee.

I know someone,
who knows someone,
who knows Alan McGee quite well

Of course with myspace the lyrics would have to change...

blasphemy!

you are only 3 or 4 degrees away from Mr. M. i sent him a message once on myspace. i was shocked when he actually replied. needless to say, i shat in my pants upon receiving that message. hero worship does that too one's bowels.

Maybe that's what the Pooh Sticks were on about.

I know someone who knows someonw who friended Alan McGee on myspace works fine with the tune. Less insider cred, perhaps?

I friended luke haines for the sheer joy of contemplating said grouchypants having to declare people his friends, no doubt at the behest of some record company.

i'm sure most people use myspace solely as a means of racking up "friends". it's like a point game. i just use it for networking. but once they start posting too many pointless bulletins i start deleting them. i only really care to read bulletins about upcoming shows and projects. and all things mcgee of course.

I suppose I'd be "alright" if the founder of creation signed me. I'd, you know, deal.

heck...the dude only discovered oasis. had the jesus and the mary chain, ride, primal scream, and my bloody valentine under his label. it never hurts to just try.

seriously. that's pretty crazy.
guess I should get off "the innernets" and continue working on my demos.

do it man...do it!

Forward him my myspace link, i'm too shy.

And only if you dig the tunes.

okay

i'm going to send your myspace page to poptones situationist, mcgee's friend. fyi...your band website, however, does not work.

Yeah, that mysteriously went down...

and thanks.

at least your myspace page has tunes on it. the link's been sent.

two tunes are all me, the other two are the band that just kicked me out.

Lemme know what you think, and no fair lying.

angie and don't worry gina i f-ing dig! mr. mcgee loves music from the 60s and those 2 songs have that feel. stop took me a while to get into, the beginning wasn't doin' it for me, but it got better. mind and body just isn't my cup of tea. sorry dude. but angie and don't worry gina are ace man!

if those are the newer mixes, mcgee will definitely digthem.

He replied to me saying he would have a listen.
