I thought the same thing.
 
 Hello, you two peeping lurkers.

Rhett (aka Henry Dark) (http://robbiefulks.com/profiles/profiles.html?user=00358) can always be visited at http//robbiefulks.com (http://robbiefulks.com)
 
 It's funny, there seem to be a lot of people on that board that also think he's a real jackass.  Who'd guess?
Title: Re: What happened to Rhett?
Post by: Jaguär on October 22, 2003, 11:11:00 pm
Maybe we should all go visit him one day.   :D
Title: Re: What happened to Rhett?
Post by: mankie on October 23, 2003, 03:27:00 pm
Just read some of his posts on that board....still the same arrogant 'I know more about music than you and I'll prove it in my comments' attitude.
 
 For example;
 
 "Milwaukee, Wisconsin's Decibully formed Fall 2001 as a reaction to the status quo of trend-driven music which primarily focused on production rather than songwriting. Expanding from a trio to a septet, Decibully now brandishes a variety of influences, creating a rich blend of finely interspersed layers tinged with country-esque flourishes, subtle electronic twinges, and rockist undertones, topping it all off with a mix of wry, lyrical quixotism. "
 
 Still the loveable little knobhead he always was. I wonder if Celeste his still his little "yes girl"?

Did you guys all actually know him?  Were you friends with him?  I couldnt tell whether he was just some jerk who thought he knew everything or not.  
   I wouldve put up with his shit if i knew him too perhaps.
Title: Re: What happened to Rhett?
Post by: mankie on October 23, 2003, 03:31:00 pm
ooh look, another Rhett classic.
 
 "Admit it, you're one of those chubby dorks who could never quite look good in hipster clothes, aren't you? One of those poor chaps who worships the beautiful women of the world, but could never score one for a partner?"
 
 
 *sighs* I miss him.

You know what's SO funny -- I took a look, just for the hell of it, and the first post of his I read mentions The Pernice Bros.  Man, the more things change, the more they stay the same!!!

 Hell, the whole thread is great...read it for yourselves.
It's true -- this is such classic Rhett *and* Celeste:
 
 "It didn't seem like a "friendly post" to me, the alt-country fan. Seems like for some reason, STB was snubbed by someone in the alt-country crowd, and has taken to insulting alt-country fans.
 
 But then again, perhaps there IS some truth to what he is saying. At least my wife agrees with him. She said "Pretty women usually DO like the shittiest music. That's why so many hot women can be found in dance clubs."
 
 I still think his comments sound like a dopey, cheesy guy who can't get laid, but that's just my opinion I guess."

Okay, I had to leave that board.  It feels kind of creepy and wrong (as funny as it was to see all the same old same old).
 
 Now back to *us*, 9:30 Clubbers!

Hi Rhett and Celeste.
 
 I am sure they lurk too.
 
 I agree it did feel really creepy lurking on the Fulks board when you know someone.

Now just hold on a minute there.....how are we being assholes/arseholes when he's not on the board anymore   ;)    ;)  I for one knew he was lurking so just trying to get him to break down and post...which he did I might add.
 
 I think, you'll find that Rhett is the asshole, even his new friends on the Fulks board think so!
 
 Now, if we can just get the delightful Celeste to post, it would make me very happy.

I do you little girl.
 
    She likes to say things that shock her friends. You like to say things to get the attention 30 and 40 something men pathetic enough to find children sexually alluring.
 
    She's 31 and an adult. You're a 15 (16?)year old child. End of story.

Not that this will affect anyone's opinion, but from my impartial (if lonely) perch as an occasional lurker here, I've always thought Rhett was a bit of a jerk.  I happened to have not seen the big blow-up that led to the departures, and to be honest I'd like to find out about it.

honestly i wish people would just act like it never happened... feelings everywhere were hurt... regrettable things were posted in anger.  i've said it before and others have echoed it, for the sake of those involved just LET IT BE!!!!!

I can tell you this much:
 
 What's clear is that in order to hear any details of it, you'ld have to consult Rhett directly.  No one else will speak of it lightly.  That fact alone should tell you the general nature of Rhetts perspective problems:  His fondness for constant chin music.

Yes,
 
 Let it be, let it be, let it be, let it be
 speaking words of wisdom, let it be, let it be.

if you're going to try and insult me by my age, at least get it right.  if you have issues with teenagers saying the s word, I suggest you move to the middle east.  I sincerely apologize for my age, rhett, because obviously it offends you.  I wish to god I was just one number higher so that you would be less offended by my presence.  I am so sorry that I am a teenager and it's all my fault.  how dare I?  it's so rude of me.  the way I am as a genuinely nice person who says the occasional thing to get a laugh ot of people is so much more offensive than your genuine dislike of everyone different from you.
 
 I just don't know what's wrong with me, I'm so awful and childish.

We can try the "wilco sucks" chant.
 
 
 or better yet, i bet if we discuss his closemindedness towards new styles of music and his incapability to recognize a good song when he hears it, he'll be back.

That's not very nice.  I'm gonna go cry over it now.
 
 Seriously though, good work on stereotyping someone you've never met based on one comment.  With words like that, you're a shoo-in for employee of the month at whatever independent record store you work at.

I was wondering about Maritime.  Worth a listen?
 
 P.S.  Ninja emo is so 90s.
Title: Re: What happened to Rhett?
Post by: es9450a on October 25, 2003, 09:08:00 pm
Well Maritime was definitely a very fun live show.  I picked up their EP though, and it doesn't sound quite as good on disc.  
 
 Caution, though: of the two old bands that members of Maritime were in, it leans somewhat more toward Promise Ring than Dismemberment Plan.  I happen to prefer TPR over D-Plan, but I'm probably in the minority with that.

I was there.  I thought Maritime was really good.  Very catchy, upbeat pop-stuff.  The Weakerthans were good, but I'll admit I left early.  I'm not familiar with their CDs and I was getting a little bored toward the end.  That says more about me than about them though.
 
 I'll definitely go see Maritime again.

But what we learned from the thread in question was the opposite, words can and do hurt.  If you're on here to learn and talk about music, there's no need to feel personally attacked or go on the attack yourself.
 
 PM folks if you want to ask what happened.  It really is best discussion 'off line.'

 Ok, I have to say this. I've got to go with Hank on this one. Although I don't often contribute much, I'm glad for the presence of Henry Dark on this message board. I think he actually writes comments that sound like a real person. Although I'm sure that, individually, most of you are wonderful people (and all of you have hands-down the best taste in and the best knowledge of music I've come across), it's sometimes hard to read some of the sanctimonious, self-righteous stuff spewed around here (knowing some of you people can't possibly be like this all the time), without appreciating an honest person like Henry who helps maintain a balance. It may not be what you want to hear, and it may not be politically correct enough for some people's taste, but it's honestly what he thinks and instead of faulting him for it, I appreciate it. The same goes for Mouth (sorry Mouth, I know you differ w/ Henry on some stuff and probably won't like this comparison). She helps maintain a balance as well, albeit in a different way.

    When my wife started reading the 9:30 chatboard, she always wondered who this ggw person was. Why did he always attack her boyfriend on personal items? He must have some personal reasons to go after her boyfriend. She managed to convince herself for months and months that ggw was a spurned lover of rhett's, despite rhett's protests to the contrary.
 
    Then one time rhett's wife met ggw, and the first thing out of her mouth to rhett was "well, i can definitely tell that he's a closet case, but no way in hell would you have ever slept with HIM."

In terms of the events that transpired, Kosmo is right. It's best to just let old news remain old news. For any of those who were personally involved in that thread and still feel the need to talk about it, I'd be happy to oblige you in person, face to face. For those who weren't personally involved in it, well there are many, many other more interesting things in the world for you to know about than that whole story. Go out and seek those more interesting things.
 
    I don't really feel the need to post that much on this board. While there is a bit of overlap, I don't find many threads here which are about bands that I like, or music that I like. Once you break the habit of habitual posting, it's actually pretty easy not to post.

The Constantines...I think we figured out that we just don't like music where the singer shouts or screams. We like it when the singer actually sings. In that respect, we didn't like the Thermals either, though the girl in the band was definitely ok to look at.

Rhett never left the board, so the point is moot.

I was a "lurker" during the whole thing. I "saw" it all go down. I'm not talkin' though, so don't ask. I just couldn't contain or maintain, or abstain from posting my observation about the ridiculousness of this group!

Then why lurk? Don't you have better things to do than lurk on a ridiculous board?

I don't really know enough about their genre, if there is one, to make comparisons. Their sound (not including the singing) was not bad, though pretty repetitive, sort of hooky punk lite. I just don't like music where the lyrics are shouted rather (e.g. punk rawk) than sang. Sorry I'm not much help. They were way better than the Constantines, for what it's worth.
