ALRIGHT WEE MAN HOWS YERSELF
I'm really enjoying following him on Twitter.
Ha, what's that all about then?
Does this mean he reads the site? Alan Mcgee is a bald tosser who may or may not touch little boys.
may
He's the guy who once said that 3 Colours Red were
"the most exciting band since the Sex Pistols"
And from Luke Haines book:
"When I was 19, I met this man at one of our gigs. He had bad breath. After our set he came up, pointed at me, and said 'Tom Verlaine.' You've just anointed me, have you Alan. You fucking idiot."
His belief that flattery will get you everywhere is quite sweet.
*flattery and name-dropping
BIG MAN
ALRIGHT LOVING YOUR POSTS MY OLD CHINA
HAHAHAHA YES.
he's not a journalist, no
http://www.guardian.co.uk/profile/alanmcgee
I'm still standing by brusma's statement.
Can you imagine having to sub his work? Ye gads.
THANKS BIG MAN
satire/sarcasm/irony-spotting fail
my old drummer was in 3 colours red. sort of.
You don't know????
He's the man who discovered 18 wheeler.
and Heavy Stereo!
Used to be in Oasis,
then wrote the songs for the Libertines.
You really need to learn how to use Google.
And not be so gullible.
...
Your "Opening More Than One Tab On Firefox Slows My Computer Down Too Much" book: I'm not buying it.
Shhh...
...
Someone whose name is only known because he signed The World's Shittest, Yet Inexplicably Commercially Successful Band.
He signed Kings Of Leon?
He did some good in the world, you know
Exhibit A: The Jesus & Mary Chain
Though, I s'pose no amount of good will could be earned from that to make up for the abovementioned signing.
..
Yeah and My Bloody Valentine and Ride too. His signings between 1985-1992 are pretty good. Yeah he seems like a bit of a tool, but believe me most people are in the music industry.
It's genius
DROWNED IN SHITE
He seems very proud of that one.
Man who signed Oasis endlessly repeating the same material? Figures.
what a fucking twat
ALRIGHT DOLL YOU'RE ALRIGHT YOU ARE DOLL
THREADSMASH BIG MAN
Now then, now then
What's all this about?
an angry, angry man
ALRIGHT WEE MAN
Stop using caps, you fucking prick.
I know the wee baldy shite
He's alright really, and you've got to love the fact that he's built a career based on sheer luck. And he does read DiS! Hi cockchops! ;-p
You are so ridiculously naive sometimes it makes me shudder.
However, you're absolutely bang on re. the lack of humility, but I doubt he'd have lasted long in his side of the industry without that attitude (and he's a pussycat uderneath really).
ALRIGHT WEE MAN
Alan?
haha that's hilarious
i wonder if he knows who i am???
I'm gonna go with a 'no' on that one Chris.
maybe, but you never know?
eh?? EH?!!!
:Dx1000
This is brilliant.
I hope i get to use this at somepoint
Maybe you should tweet him to find out
sense of own importance fail
So why is he angry at DiS? What got reviewed??
i think it might still be about this
http://drownedinsound.com/gigs/191/reviews/1817-
...
"You know, it's nice that bands like the Cosmic Rough Riders still exist..."
COSMIC ROUGH RIDERS STILL EXI-- oh.
laughing hard
YOU WON'T BE LAUGHING WHEN YOU'RE BANKRUPT CUNT
FUCKING CHINA DOLL.
Oh, lulz
I mean, come on. How can anyone dispute the CRR aren't a 40-but-still-on-pills-and-telling-everyone-about
-that-summer-in-ibiza-decades-ago band?
Also, someone should tell him that fighting the internet results in ridicule. And that hat.
Mainly the hat.
I <heart> those middle aged dreamers and their 2 great songs
(not the hat though. THE HAT! *sob*) I very much doubt it's still about CRR though, I'll mail him and find out wtf has inspired today's outburst. Although really sean, you should feel honoured in a perverse kinda way. He's very much of the view that there's no such thing as bad publicity, and he's often right. How's the web traffic been this morning? ;-)
i like the cosmic rough riders
they bought me a drink and told me that i looked young.
His FACE.
I think we need to get some collective retribution
on this ass-clown. Someone with brains think of plan.
We could all refuse to buy the Grants' album. That'll learn him.
Hang on...
someone just sent me this

Hello Alan, I'd just like to let you know that I like you.
^ He's gonna think I'm taking the piss cos of my username :(
is this the guy who directed Charlie's Angels?
:D
If you ever wanted to know what Jimmy Somerville would be like
acting in a Nick Love film set in Glasgow here's your man.
JOG ON
This comment from one of his blogs on the guardian website is wonderful
"I will give you a years wages to never write about music ever again."
He's saying what we are all thinking!
Alan McGee on DJ's. Tool
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hA9mKokmWv4
I was in a club where McGee was DJing once.
He was utterly fucking shit and played four Stone Roses songs in an hour.
thats playing their whole back catalogue
What's wrong with that (wee man)?
I mean, he's going to very possibly lose his shit when he reads this thread.
THAT would be worth seeing.
ALAN, WHERE ARE YOU, WEESACKS?
I'M RIGHT HERE DOLL CUNT SUGAR TITS WEE MAN PAL
I've just checked. This is ACTUALLY Alan McGee.
haha legend.
Of course if fucking is.
Who else would willingly respond to 'weesacks' :-p And it's Alan *J* McGee.
Awright Alan, ya dancer.
i don't believe you
:D
i was actually wondering.
I wish that were true, so SO much.
Haha "I've just checked" like he has a piece of A4 blu-tacked to the wall next to him with a list of celebrity IP addresses
...and Alan McGee's
:D
He did sign the Super Furry Animals, though
but then he also thought they'd be "a bit better if they sang in fucking english". they were singing in english at the time
Copy and paste anyone?
for the office drones who've had twitter blocked by IT facists
just for you
@DrownedinSound DROWNEDINSHITE.COM SOUNDS SO FUCKING RIGHT FOR YOU BUNCH OF GEEKY LOSING NO MARKS

and left 'no mark' on the landscape.

Probably not.
"Mitts & Handmuff Shades of Grey The Chunky Knit Back the 80's The Statement Coat"
:'D
Brilliant.
Am I the only one who doesn't get this? :(
No.
It's left me flummoxed as well.
I presume it's taking the NIKEAIRMAXCHEAPTRAINERS spam
and translating it to AlanMcG (therefore insinutaing that he's a filthy timewaster), but I don't know enough about the man's choice of clothes, or know what a Toscana coat is. I think both are key to deriving humour from Lucien's post.
Next: I deconstruct one of meths sentences.
We need to wait for him
to complete one first.
no
Leave my dad alone or I'll get Debbie oh yers
and all that!
so
are we thinking that there's an Alan J McGee and an Alan McGee?
Yeah
The other one's not as interesting, though.
http://twitter.com/alanmcgee
http://s.twimg.com/images/whale_error.gif
FAIL WHALE
Dunno:
'just unlocked the "Bender" badge on @foursquare!'
In fairness,
Alan doesn't actually write the words you see in the Guardian, his 'right hand man' Paul Brownell does it.
He's the one who knows how the caps lock key works aye?
I believe that 'Alan McGee' is a construct,
Like Luther Blisset.
Well, arent we a clever bunch?
You fucking indie losers can sit here all day and fucking slag me off.
What will you all do when this shitehole goes bankrupt? Go and touch each other on some other fucking loser website. Thats what.
Come back to me when any of you have made some kind of small success with your shite little lives.
Fucking losers.
PS I write in capitals to catch peoples attention, Ive got nearly 6000 followers on twitter. How many people care about your pathetic little lives.
Peace and love xx
SORRY WEE MAN I DIDN'T BOTHER READING THAT NOT ENOUGH CAPITALS TOO MUCH PUNCTUATION
theo, adjudication please?
that
is the best seething internet comeback since Never Mind the Bollocks
Still not convinced this is him.
Because the real one surely would be smart enough not to rise to this.
And ALSO, would surely note the irony of talking about 'sitting on here all day' when his twitter posts are nigh constant.
Also the post didn't feel like it was wearing a horrible hat.
if published authors can report bad amazon reviewers to the FBI
then early-to-mid-90s record label bosses can spit the dummy on the internet because people think he's a buffoon
they can also punch me for pronoun misuse
Very true.
It's still a horrible hat though.
I mean, *come on*. Apparently hundreds of thousands of pounds STILL can't by style. Poor chap.
Not him
Too articulate by a CUNTRY mile
^Knows.
MAGNATISE!
"Go and touch each other on some other fucking loser website"
Is there a secret touching sub-forum that I don't know about?

i want to touch Theo first

It's nice to see that even with all of your power and success, you're still such an insecure little fuckwit that you have to come here and complain about being slagged off by people who will forget you exist the minute they leave the office for home.
You write in capitals because you labour under the erroneous belief that upper case catches people's attention. Half true: It catches the attention of retards. It makes everyone else think you're a cretin - a theory generally proven accurate when reading is commenced.
Furthermore: Six thousand followers on Twitter is nothing to boast about. Nor is having signed up a bunch of bands who have all the musical sophistication and innovatory talent of John Denver in the helicopter. And if I'd had anything whatsoever to do with The Libertines, it'd be all I could do to stop myself committing suicide. I mean, Christ - at least Hitler liked Wagner, what have you got going for you?
This: You are a middle-aged man who spends his time penning tedious articles about bands no-one has given a fuck about in 20 years, truncating whatever witless thought about the same on some idiotic Web2.0 text message scheme for wankers, and whose life is so empty you think the editor of Drowned in frickin' Sound poking fun at you is something to really care about. And for all your talk about this site going backrupt (OH FUCKING NO!!), what exactly are you going to do when the debt-free, fully solvent Grauniad realises it can do without your bald arse scraping together 400 words every week about a reissue of the 53rd Ride album?
Whatever you decide, strongly resist the desire to come here and whinge about it like a fucking girl. Even though that would be quite funny.
...
P.S. Alan McGee is the psuedonym for Everett True right? Otherwise I've made a bit of a dick of myself here...
ah come on mate,
the libertines were grand
...
Broken Britain started with Up The Bracket.
WHO ARE THIS 'BROKEN BRITAIN' PAL?
ILL SIGN THEM UP DOLL.
:D
:D
Oh a fucking clever shite student cunt.
What have you done pal? Come on tell us all how great you are. Which bands have you discovere so far? Some fucking cardgian wearing emo fucking student cunts I bet.
Your the insecure one who feels the need to come on here and post fucking shite about me pal. I go to bed at night knowing that Ive made a fucking big difference to lots of people.
And trust me I dont need the fucking money. How much do you earn or is mummy still paying your student loan. Just because you can spell and use grammar does not make you the gospel voice of the world.
Carry on though everyone, you know what they say about publicity!
Peace xx

Damn. I was hoping it was really him.

Lest we forget
the world first got introduced to McGee's Twitter when he got into a slanging match with Brian Eno, which continued after Eno had had to issue a press release saying it was an imposter and he didn't have an account on it.
I'm 100% sure that someone has hacked into McGee's account and this isn't real, but it's still brilliant.
Saying 'ALRIGHT BIG MAN' to SkyNews is the sort of thing that would make me laugh whoever was behind it.
...
Well, if this thread is the 5th item on ITV's evening news show tonight, we'll know for sure. Until then...
...
Having to ask you of all people to explain technology to me, but: What am I looking at here?
What you're looking at is a man, still awake at half past two in the morning, desperate for someone to talk to
and saying HEY! TALK TO ME! in a variety of different ways to a variety of strange 'celebrities'. It's the doll/hen/big man/wee man rollercoaster that I'm enjoying the most.
has he found Stuart Murdoch yet?
HELLO TWEE MAN?
No? I'll get my goat...
*cardigan
oh and in case anyone thinks there's a glimmer of truth in what he's saying
we ain't going bankrupt. far from it. despite post-BSKYB dip and advertising down-turn last year we did pretty well. and traffic is up and all's well.
sean, i don't think anyone is actually reading the posts and believing them
apart from the "INDIE NO MARKS" bit.
indeed
but obviously he's trying to sound like he's still relevant enough to know what's going on and some people might believe that, especially if they hear it via Chinese whispers.
anyway, its been good for traffic and entertaining.
someone's hacked his Twitter...
...surely???
I would think so, yeah
I'd like the shake the hand of whoever's done it, because this is genius.
For the record,
I think it's his real mind-spew.
*want to think*
I think so
because he's a facebook friend of mine and there's no mention of DiS on his facebook today, or in fact at all, from what I can see- his tweets and FB updates aren't usually identical, but they do tend to track each other pretty closely. What I can't work out is why he hasn't realised that the twitter's been hacked- he usually lives on there! I probably ought to mail him to tell him but..... oh, maybe a few more hours, ha!
Slight aside (and told this story before)
At a Labour Party Event in Blackpool as part of the conference, Tony Blair, when he was leader of the opposition, once introduced '18 Wheeler' as 'Wheeler 18'.
Hmmm. Interesting?

:DD
'despite Eno being the founder of ambient music, the Brit curtly replied: "F*** off, wanker."'
AMBIENT PEOPLE DON'T CURSE!!
I really like him.
He's a bit of legend, in all fairness
I posted a seemingly tweet this morning
after reading the start of this, simply saying 'Watching Alan McGee get ripped into Drowned In Sound on here is so ridiculous/hilarious its really made my day. Silly bald man.'
Half an hour later I logged in again and found this:
''@thesheldon ALRIGHT WEE MAN HOW'S THE DOLE..FUN?''
I'm 6 foot 4. Made my day.
'*seemingly throw-away' even
OHMYGOD
it's the other mark sheeldz ^^^^^^

NICE ONE DOLL
:D
I'd love to tear off his skull and shit in his soul.
Then make his children eat his soul covered in my shit.
What a complete and utter prick.
Relax though everyone, with any luck the clueless cunt will be dead within a year or two. What a massive sweaty mingeflap.
In the space of two hours..
..I've now gone from being a ''WEE MAN'' to a ''HEN.''
This Twitter rampage is too good to be true, surely.
What if, right,
what if the hacker.... IS ONE OF US?
*BLOWS MINDS* NYYYYYYYYYYAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHH
I immediately suspect Shrewbie.
I hope this is all true
has anyone seen the Death Disco/Live at the cuckoo club thing on one of those terrible end of the line music channels? It repeats some awful link thing of Mcgee with a silly hat on madchestering into the camera, it is disturbing.
Lovely stuff.
Well done BIG/WEE MEN/HENS.
love/hate/indifferent (I subscribe to the third option)
he has made more of a success of his life on a financial standing than most of the people on this thread combined ever will
We're not judging the man,
just laughing at his tweets - which are, to be fair, hilarious, whether deliberate or not, and whether fake or not.
he nearly went bankrupt at one stage didn't he?
blamed Kevin Shields for it.
I'd rather have mental health than material wealth
but yes, fair point.
so what's the skinny?
is McGee a hackee or a certified nutbar?
this is fucking amaze
how did i miss it all day?
youre all cocksuckers
especially that bald dumbass
Not to stir shit
or owt... but
I'm very good friends with a band who got shafted by Poptones, and judging by the quite shocking tales of unprofessionalism they relayed to me, it paints the picture of a total dogwank of a man.
I'm self-employed and am exactly 6 feet tall, Alan.

Oasis didn't know who McGee was nor did they know he was going to be there

All ace.

some thoughts from me about this at the end
http://drownedinsound.com/news/4138898-spotifriday-30--this-week-on-dis-as-a-playlist
sean, has is been definitively established that it is McGee then?
Unless you know something that we don't know, there's still enough doubt in my mind to make that final paragraph seem a little shakey.
ALRIGHT HEN
lol troll'd
whatever. You write a song as good as 'stars' then come back to me.

My life is complete
I'm pretty sure this'll come back as it not being him... I'm sure of it.
He hasn't come back to my facebook message, but he's just messaged me on twitter
I don't know him well enough to be able to say if it's him, tbh. Either way, "IT'S ALL LOVE DOLL", apparently.
ARE YOU ALRIGHT BIG MAN?
http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1018/898383101_6db4e48f93.jpg
jesus alan, what a loser you are.
I could never stand ANY band that he's associated with - sorry guys, not even MBV. now seeing that he, even as an old man, behaves like a complete twat, not showing any form of wisdom or dignity (as you maybe would expect from someone of his age and influence) just furthermore cements my opinion.
oh, did I mention that I think the paddingtons are possible one of the worst live bands I've ever seen?! complete cack.
so, this was all someone playing a prank/hacking into his account then?
http://twitter.com/alanjmcgee
look, all recent activity gone except for a goodbye message
I dunno
even if it's not DiS's sean, the last tweet would seem to be a reference to the, um, episode... I'd guess somebody - possibly his mum, possibly his kids, possibly his editors at the guardian blog - told him to get a fucking grip, he was starting to rant about how shit Kevin Shields and MBV were, which probably isn't wise, given his skill set is basically 'signed some good bands 20 years ago'.
i reckon it was ehwhat playing an elaborate prank
*kissinginkansas
I can't read the Twitter site from here, so I don't know what the last tweet is,
but he's been ranting about Kevin Shields for a good few years now, so it's not a recent thing.
"AS I AM THE BIG MAN ANNUAL HOLIDAYS ARE UPON US I WILL BE BACK AS THE BIG MAN IN AUGUST FOR A WEEK I WASN'T TAKING THE PISS SEAN HONEST BYE"
lol
i read the last bit as 'kthnxbai'
No prank apparently. Just sudden u-turn.
I... is this a victory?
^this
I've heard it fROm the horse's mouth. NEIIIIIIGH.
crikey
i wonder what on earth sparked him to go completely batshit bonkers on twitter of all places
Cocaine
Is a helluva durg...
really? so was definitely him?
lol
Well, he says it was him.
He's either embarrassed that somebody hacked him, and so pretending that it was him. Or it was him. He is prone to attacks of the vapours from time to time, God love him, so I suspect the latter.
"embarrassed that somebody hacked him, and so pretending that it was him"
this would be perverse. normally when something like that happens people pretend they were hacked when they weren't, just to try and absolve themselves of responsibility (see: rod liddle's comments on the milwall forum)
You used the word 'normally'
which is a derivatiove of tHE word 'normal'. In a thread about McGee. DOES NOT COMPUTE.
touche.
I like him, always have
but he'd be the first to admit that he's a touch....eccentric.
Mad as a bag of spanners, WEE DOLL BAWBAG HEN
Mad as a box of frogs
ya wee jakey nutjob ;-)
INTRODUCING "MCGEE TOURETTES"
I've got no real opinion of him, but this thread and 'his' tweets have given me something new to teach my niece and nephew next time I see them.
BIG FACE DOLLBAG PAL
Ah man
I disagree with just about everything he ever said. BUT he brought us Oasis (when still good... he couldn't have known what he started), The Boo Radleys, Teenage Fanclub, SFA, My Bloody Valentine.
And... yes... 3 Colours Red. I absolutely loved, and still love, that band. I get fed up of seeing them bought up as some kind of joke. Their hearts and minds were in the right places, their guitars were low slung, and most importantly their tunes were great. People talk about that Sex Pistols comparison. Well, at least Pete Vuckovic hasn't done all that butter ad crap, gotten his mates to beat up certain singers, and so on...
It's weird how this thread seems to have attracted new users and brought out the infrequent users.
Are people that serious about it?
indeed
its given some people a reason to engage. the rest of the time people just stalk you all.
never saw this reply first time round
People are always serious about OLD bands.
Nostalgia fueled, they rage against the internet as if it really matters.
This page does not exist?!

What's his twitter name? The old one doesn't seem to work...
