Jem's New Blog

[geront]

I rather think in some twisted parallel Universe, the Muse himself read my earlier entry and decided to spin the quantum fandango up for a stir to be-twix one and all! LOL  That or an even more frightening thought, somehow our silver cords have become a bit err, entangled, and shall we say, the haunting melody in my skull most definitely is not my own, I ponder if yonder man has suddenly become transfixed with Larry Fast meets Meatloaf, for surely no other could create such a pulsing maelstrom of sonic keyboard crescendos and thunderous opera choruses.... What! Oh.  What Ho!

Possibly a source for sampling for his new project?


Definately sounds....sample...able....

I don't think we will ever understand that man.. ever.

 :lol:

Same here!
Where did all the previous posts go? Or is this blog WAY overdue and time to move to something else again?!  :?
I love the man but he's a bit random isn't he?  :lol:

[DueyC]

I don't see anything random about wanting some damn privacy. If you were stalked by a gang of very loyal fans who never have anything negative to say about you and hang on your every word, wouldn't you feel a bit awkward?

I think stalked is the wrong word. If you've done something that people love and you've reached out into the community by creating video reports, taking part in a forum, meeting everyone at gigs etc people are going to look forward to every little glimpse of Jem they can get. So no, there is no requirement for Jem to update us on everything but he's a funny sod and we all get excited from time to time.

I don't think anyone here is demanding updates, just eager to hear the news.

I once purchased a jar of carbon dioxide he'd allegedly exhaled on ebay. I will cherish it forever.

But in all seriousness, and a bit in poor taste, there is always the fear when you've got such a devoted fanbase that you might get "John Lennoned."

Something to add to the list of things to get onto the forum then Pedro:

1 Are you a nutter?

2 Do you own a gun?

That should sort it

[finbeard]

Absolutely foolproof if you ask me, and I am an expert!  8-)

Er wait-

I didn't mean that in a completely serious way. When I say "stalked" I mean that harmless fan-like behaviour can feel like it's closing in on you sometimes. From the way Jem talk it seems like he wants to keep Frost* a relatively small project, like an escape from his dayjob and all that, so when it gets big enough that people are waiting on updates and are constantly asking for new info, he may feel like it's getting out of hand and wants to put a little cap on it. We all have our hobbies and little side projects that help us get away from the stress of life, it's just unfortunate for Jem that he's really good at his. I could be totally wrong, but that's how I see it.

Think we need a derailment.................

Chinese animal rights groups are urging TV stations not to show a magic trick of goldfish swimming in formation. They believe the performance could involve the use of magnets and therefore harm the fish. Campaigners want the act dropped from variety shows to be broadcast on Thursday to mark the end of the Chinese New Year holiday. The magician at the centre of the controversy, Fu Yandong, denies he harms the fish. The trick has amazed audiences across China, appearing on one of the biggest shows of the year, China Central Television's New Year's Eve special. Magician's code Mr Fu takes six goldfish and releases them into a shallow tank. He somehow gets them to swim together. But instead of being praised, he has been criticised by more than 50 animal rights groups. Liu Huili, of Da'erwen campaign group, said: "Goldfish are small creatures that anyone can easily buy and abuse, or even kill." She wants TV stations to drop the act from variety shows planned to mark the end of the Lunar New Year. Some stations, including the state broadcaster CCTV, are reported to have agreed to ditch the controversial segment. Others plan to show it regardless.

Meanwhile, Mr Fu has hit back at the criticism. "If I used magnets, the fish would stick together," he told a CCTV news programme. "Some people say I use electricity or high technology. They can say what they want, but the fish are safe," he added. The magician has declined to say exactly how the trick is performed
