and The Twang had just been playing at a nearby venue, and suddenly a massive gang of about 80 of them started hurling abuse at you, and then chased you back to your house, throwing sticks...
and then next week, you got up really early, and realised there was a ticket sale just starting for this Twang gig which all the fans were absolutely wanking over, and it was like Glastonbury for buying tickets and they were all going mad...
would you buy some and tout them for as much as you could possibly get because
a) its the Twang and people shouldn't like them
and
b) they hurt your feelings before
or not tout them because of principle?
There's 80 members of The Twang?
NO!!!
Their fans!
What a thought
bf
I wouldn't tout them because I'd be too embarrassed
the principle
should be never ever to give that band money.
What's the difference, if it's a guaranteed sell out anyway?
its the difference
between suffering or not suffering from a lifetime of hidden shame
Tout em
Fuck em over.
Each time I think of a Twang gig
,which isn't very often, I imagine a seething multitude of acne ridden Tesco Value clones of 'Rhys' and 'Gilly' from TV's Hollyoaks.
In my dystopian vision, The Enemy open for them.
If I was rich
I would buy all the tickets for all of their gigs from now until they split up and then either burn them or weave them into some form of clothing for the frail and homeless. Priority would be given to those who are both frail and homeless.

How can you hate the Twang when you like Oasis and Kasabian?
They're practically the same crap.
its a truth that i'm sure
he is slowly realising, and becoming more and more horrified about. at least i'm hoping that.
Nah.
The opinion people have built up of both Oasis and Kasabian is based solely on their fans - lager loutish hooligan music.
The opinion I have built of The Twang is based almost entirely on their lyrics. I've listened to their album.
unsupported statement
faulty. very faulty.
Nope.
Spot on.
Yup
I still think
Kasabian's first album is not bad at all
do it
people with bad music taste deserve no moral consideration. Plus you're never going to force them to buy them, they buy them because they think they have enough money to, want to, and are stupid enough to.
Ticket touting is not actually "wrong"
it's just really, really gay, and if you do it you're a cunt.
Except when it's for the twang.
Ringing for tickets would require effort.
I don't want to put any effort into the Twang. I'd rather pretend they don't exist.
Either that or walk past the venue while they're playing and throw a 'carelessly discarded match' into the venue machinery. If venues have machinery. Admittedly I've not really thought this through properly.
I would dress up as a massive Fox
And film myself pouring petrol on all of the tickets and burning them KLF style in a remote location, laughing like a tosser.
Then post the clip on youtube.
It would be worth the money.
if i could afford to waste so much money
for some cheap laughs and definately some MEGALOLZ and ROFLCOPTERS in terms of youtube response then this ^^ would be ideal.
i say tout them.
I've never heard The Twang
I guess this is a good thing.
Don't Wait Up:
Said don't wait up for me cos I'll be gone till well past three
Yeah it's one of those again where a couple's just turned into ten
I know it sounds it, it ain't funny
I've just spent the shopping money
It's not my fault she's too good natured
My mind's set on getting wankered
So I drink myself into a state
With a silly grin upon my face
Don't wait up
Say don't wait up
And she'll be waiting by the phone
But it was her decision to stay at home
And all my thoughts for her are gone
But my thoughts for HER are very wrong
And pulling weren't on my agenda
The fact I've got a bird just makes 'em keener
I don't care my tool needs shining
She looks game for a bit of grinding
So we slither off like slithery snakes
With a silly grin upon my face
And I...
Don't wait up
It's just that naughtier side of me
Say don't wait up
It's just that naughtier side
Don't wait up
It's just that naughtier side of me
Say don't wait up
It's just that naughtier side
Now it hadn't crossed my mind all night
Then the convoy went from blue to white
There's faces I ain't seen in ages
They're all out to cane their wages
Proper chuffed that we turned up
Cos a week of work can get you wound up
Jukebox has got a great selection
A little groove might ease the tension
So we bounce around like we own the place
With a silly grin upon my face
And I...
Don't wait up
It's just that naughtier side of me
Say don't wait up
It's just that naughtier side
Don't wait up
It's just that naughtier side of me
Say don't wait up
It's just that naughtier side
And if she was a fly upon the wall
I don't think she'd wanna be my girlfriend any more
And if she was a fly upon the wall
She would see me slowly drink myself into a hole
Don't wait up
It's just that naughtier side of me
Say don't wait up
It's just that naughtier side
Don't wait up
It's just that naughtier side of me
Say don't wait up
It's just that naughtier side
It's up the bar for one last round
One, two, three, let's slam 'em down
This night's getting pretty lairy
Geezers flexing, looking scary
Some lad tries to call my bluff
The silly boy, there's enough of us
It's a shame man it was going well
It's going off, oh fucking hell
We're fucked
Wow
That's beautiful.
Is it from Ys?
I can just hear Newsom now
The emotional sounds of the harp in the background, that childlike voice calling out plaintively:
"I don't care my tool needs shining
She looks game for a bit of grinding"
.
Back of a van. Out to the moors. A spade each. Bullet to the back of the head. Unmarked. The world would not mourn. Their fans may be a bit restless for a week or so, but if we installed a colourful flashing light in each of their homes that would be the end of it.
Oscar wilde
would weep
My main issue with those lyrics has to be that they
rely on the premise that there are not just one, but, two women out there who are willing to allow that fuckwit to violate them.
This MySpace post neatly encapsulates everything that is wrong
with the world today:
