his linguistics have burrowed into my tongue

[porphyre]

My music on random. Snare snap, three beat four four, lifting on the three. The lyrics are enthusiastically running backwards, something groovy and probably bizarre that I really like. Familiar guitar. I'm not even sure what I'm listening to, I'm only listening with half an ear. Suddenly, my head snaps up. What? I know that voice. Even through

May I hug you? I'm in love with The Billy Nayer Show and no one that I know seems able to get into them. They're pure, unadulterated genius, and utterly unique. Kudos on your taste, m'dear!

Your sweetie? Wait, did I miss something?

[porphyre]

Whoops. Possibly. And here, I was just about to edit that. I fail.

re my earlier comment about someone's writing sounding a lot like someone else's...

his linguistics have borrowed your tongue

[porphyre]

Yeah. He started that as soon as I got him to finally start writing in an LJ. At first it was flattering, sweet, you know? Then it got tiresome, especially when I could find passages directly lifted from my writing. Oh well.

I absolutely love The Billy Nayer Show. I've only seen bits of American Astronaut, but I'm quite amused by the bits thus far. I need to either buy it or borrow it, and watch it all the way through.

It's got torrents!

Funny

Through a completely different set of events a couple of weeks ago, I heard of the American Astronaut and The Billy Nayer show on someone else's LJ. I thought to myself "That's awesome. Y'know, I bet Jhayne has never heard of that show. This might be one of those rare instances where I find somethign awesome before she does. I should get her a copy and offer it up to her like some valuable jewel for Christmas that she's never seen."
So I ordered it two weeks ago.
I got it in the mail this evening when I checked my mailbox on the way in.
I came to your LJ to let you know.
And I read this.

Boooo. I should really know by now, y'know? : )

Ah well. I know nothing about it so at least I know I'm in for a treat. I'll take your advice and go in blind. I think I'll watch it tomorrow.

That's phenomenal timing, my friend. Phenomenal timng indeed. Now I'm curious as to who's LJ it was and if I was the one who turned them onto it. I've been having a bit of a BNS/American Astronaut revival lately, what with Mike being the bass player and everything.

My copy, however, isn't all shiny and legal like yours. Can I come too?

My receipt says the 27th of November so it would be someone's LJ entry around then. My friends page doesn't go back that far but I'm not sure anyone's does. I forget who it was. I'm pretty sure it had that YouTube clip featured as well. It was someone who talked about how much they loved it during childhood so probably not someone you turned on to it.

Anyway, yeah. Crazy timing. Hey, I brought you - oh.

[porphyre]

Childhood? Yikes. A wee tiny friend, obviously. That almost made me feel creakingly old.
