just something i’m mulling over, not really sure how it would work exactly, but one of my students is mates with luc van acker… so would anybody be interested in me trying to get some questions answered? i’m not sure when it would happen, i’m just curious if people would be interested at all.
students where?
i manage an audio engineering college in london. quite a few of my students and colleagues have some pretty major links to the music industry, i just thought this one might have been of interest to you guys. i was just gonna get my goddamned son of a bitch vinyl and cd signed, but i thought why not ask a few questions whilst i was at it?
what kind of questions are you planning on askin Mr. Acker ?
It seems he’s been out of the “loop” if there was a… “loop”
So… dunno how much help he’d be n’e.way…
Heard he’s super fuckin funny as shit though.
You should just get drunk withem instead.
Yeah… ask him just what his involvement was with “Linger Ficken Good…,” if any at all.
Also, ask if he’d consider paying Connelly to follow him around all day, announcing his presence everytime Luc stepped into a room/crowd/elevator/etc. with a great big “LUUUUUUUUC VAAAAAAN AAAAACKER!!!”
ask luc if he remembers hearing this:
luc van acker HEY!
luc van acker HEY!
luc van acker HEY!
luc van acker luc van acker luc van acker luc van acker
(gary glitter.rock and roll)
I remember when we saw revco soundsystem in slimelite, and S.L.U.G walked up to him all casually like and saying ’ Your work with Front Line Assembly was great’ or something like that. Luc just looked confused said ‘um, thanks’ and walked away from him quickly, whereas S.L.U.G just burst out laughing as he had planned to wind him up for ages.
T’was a good show. [cool]
Your pal sounds like an asshole.
no room for assholes.
too much empty space wasted. philosophy 101…or something…
Your pal sounds like an asshole.
he was joking and i’m sure luc knew he was joking as well, he was hardly saying it with a serious tone!
lighten up, loads of us were there and luc was chatting with us all having a laugh.
Kez has her wires crossed…
What actually happened was, I was talking to Luc about the Cocktail Mixxx album and how much I liked it. I said how some of it reminds me of some FLA (which is a good thing). He suddenly kind of disappeared, I thought I might have inadvertently offended him with the FLA comparison.
And I am not an Asshole.
How fucking dare you!
I am however a complete an total Arsehole…
gets coat and slowly sneaks out of building
I’m the asshole. In the words of LOST’s John Locke
"I was wrong!"
Ha! Ok, that makes more sense.
Otherwise the story sounds like if you went up to Al Jourgensen and said “You were awesome in Kraftwerk!” and then laughed hysterically when he looked at you like you were insane.
actually we’ve been in touch with Acker, he’s willing to chat. we’re (or at least i) just lazy. d’oh!!
I am however a complete an total Arsehole…
Arseholes kick ass!
The Cocktail mixes sucked though!
