a question for the fans..

[xfer]

Sam would be the "Jerk Dot"

no, that would be Byron.

 

[Ominous Luminous]

I don't think I would buy candid photos, but I'm poor.

 

[FalseTodd]

i'm personally not into the idea

sorry, forbes

 

[chupe666]

not necessarily candid so much as 'photojournalistic'

i'd still buy. mixed shots with a couple people would be good. for framing.

but i'd actually probably be more into the paintings.

 

[chupe666]

i could see the band members' point of view- i'd probably not be into it if it were me. but i was also against having my face put on the back of a t-shirt.

 

[azal]

I'm also against photos on CDs, posters, shirts, websites etc.

Unfortunately I get voted out 4 to 1 by my bandmates who enjoy getting noticed on the streets by fat goths.

 

[chupe666]

reading over that post and looking at my avatar makes me want a shirt with marty feldman's face on it.
if you guys sell those, i'll buy one.

 

[mindspell]

Azal: you really hang out with a lot of fat goths!

 

[ricochet]

I still need to buy a KD shirt whenever they are available again. I'd probably buy a group photo in color or b&w as long as it is a quality image. I'd also be interested in seeing paintings, especially if painted by members of the band.

i would like to point out that through motW and including Kayo Dot, this general group of musicians has made it a point not to splash their photos on their merchandise (including CDs). if i remember correctly, they only took a photo for Choirs of the Eye because they were mandated by the strict form of Tzadik's composer series releases, and even that was with grumbling. so i am not surprised to see Sam voice an objection, and i think this would be quite a departure for you guys to do this.

 

[azal]

fat goths make up, for the most part 90% of the female metal listening population.

thankfully, it's a small percentage of females in the country, but still, I'm forced to be in the presence of sweaty, lacey-dressed, powdered faced, busted broads quite often.

 

[avi]

shut up azal, you love it

 

[chupe666]

i don't think there's anything wrong with a departure. actually, it seems to me this project is all about departures from anything core/repetitive. esp if these are photographed and printed by the groop. i'd think of it more as another art piece created by the members rather than just some pictures of the people in the band. that's where the print signing thing (naming it or the date it was taken/printed on) would help (in my opinion).

but i'm just a chupe. a lonely chupe. on christmas.

 

[azal]

avi, are you saying that BodyRemover is my fake account?

Exactly, Tobyart. I loved the paintings/drawings/textures that he's made for the booklets and stuff. Plus, that way, you have something on your wall that doesn't explicitly say/involve Kayo Dot, it's a stand-alone piece of art. The fact that Toby made it is a reference for people that are already interested in the band and an "interesting" backstory to tell someone who might admire it.

Cerberus Shoal did something like that, sort of.

 

[avi]

azal I'm calling you a liar. I know you'd hit it if no one would find out.

 

[lizard]

or if you slammed a few brews...

azal, what would you do if you were making out hot and heavy with a goth chick and then she leaned forward, and whispered in your ear, "by the way, big guy...I'm a muslim."

 

[xfer]

called out!!!

 

[mindspell]

or if you slammed a few brews...

That part I am not so sure. If anybody can take than a few brews and still be coherent is people with drinking habits like Azal


I still think Azal wouldn't say no to a fat goth chick if nobody knew...
