Trouser, thats what you call, 'playing hard to get'. a guy with your skills should not be broke.
What are you doing with all your money.


Well I don't know what employable skills you think I have, but I've certainly none that'll get me a part-time job to fund my many habits. I spent most of spring and early summer looking for a job but no one would take me on ANYWHERE. I've given up now.

I know exactly how that is, but IMO I think it's better to be broke with endless time at home to spend listening to music during the summer, then to work all day, be miserable, and have only a couple of hours to listen to music only to fall asleep to it because your work schedual is so tite and the only free time you have is for sleeping.

Any album will do, because Progressive Rock is just that erotic. Though if you're looking for a good time try The Mars Volta's Frances The Mute. It seems the ladies just can't get enough of this man's very high and loud voice. You tell me?

I heard about an article in some random Australian music magazine OK Computer by Radiohead is the most listened to album in Australia while making love. Weird.

Anywhere.
One likes to believe
In the freedom of music
But glittering prizes
And endless Compromises
Shatter the illusion
Of integrity

The many habits of Trouserpress. Get thee to a nunery.
Maybe you can get a job taking one of those summer school camps in the USA.
or...what about busking??...or write a script and send it to Tim Brooke Taylor or Bill Oddie.
I remember, quite a few years ago, having a weekend job selling danish pastries at the market in Portebello Road in London. The US tourists loved the pecan pies we used to sell them.
Of course, if one of those many habits of yours is the same as Oliverstoned then your probably best moving into horticulture fulltime.

no I don't think TP is into hydroponics ...  



I'm not, no...

If you're actually interested then my many habits include:

  • Prog (obviously)
  • A rabid comedy obsession which keeps me chained to the TV schedules and the DVD news sites,
  • Writing, acting and so on
  • Collecting books by P G Wodehouse
  • Drawing and if I feel up to it painting
  • Talking loudly at people about things they're much less bothered about than I am
  • Spending far more time than is necessarily healthy with my aforementioned girlfriend
  • Collecting objects that interest me and later get used in improvisations. The other week I bought a brass hunting horn that in all probability I couldn't afford and most certainly didn't need.
  • Other things.
So yes... I'm a normal, healthy teenager. Oh yes I am...

Trous, I don't know any teenagers that collect P G Wodehouse. You are one of a kind.

All teenagers however should listen to prog, have a healthy interest in comedy, act, write, draw and paint while talking loudly to people as well as have a brass hunting horn and spend plenty of time with their girlfriends (in the country). 
 
It keeps them from pestering their parents for money and provides protection from attacks from rabid foxes.

By the way, what is a 'necessarily' healthy time to spend with a girlfriend??

I'm not sure, but most people seem to think me n' the lass are a little excessive in the amount of time we have to spend in contact with one another (usually most nights from 6/7ish through to the small hours of the morning). But I think it's probably to do with being several hundred miles apart. Other means of communication take on a little more importance, I suppose.

Car - Everyday on the way to and from work

Work - Occasionally play a CD & listen to headphones on my PC

Home - At the computer if it's late at night. I usually exercise after work - I put a CD on and crank it loud enough for the whole house... that's my favorite! (Some success at getting my wife into Porcupine Tree, Rush and Shadow Gallery so far! )

 

If it's worth playing, it's worth playing loud!

usually on the 'puter (cygnus, don't be dirty) or in the car. i like to have music as background music. i don't like just sitting somewhere and listening to music that much.

On the tram on my way to and from work, and generally whenever my wife is not around.

Anyone else out there have the complication that occurs when your other half has a problem with your love of prog? 

Can't think of anything cool at the moment ...

ah by the sound of it you're in Melbourne! Welcome to the Archives from a fellow Oz (Adelaide)  ... well originally a Pom but that can't be helped - just don't mention the cricket eh?  

Yeah, my hubby is a reluctant prog listener ... headphones work best (he wears them to block out the sound ) ... however, he did come with me to see Yes in Melb. 2 yrs ago  ... so its gradually sinking in ... oh, and he says he cant listen to Kasey Chambers anymore - a small victory methinks!

At car and at home. Sometimes I use my portable cd-player while walking outside.

I don't carry any of that to the parties anymore, as I'm not invited.
