Yes, it's a throwaway, but I find it mildly amusing. Enjoy.

Momus' Adventures In Stripcreator Volume One by UnknownEric 1-21-03

Hi, I'm musician and provocateur Momus. I've been sent here on a mission to destroy the Emo Pirate. Of course, to defeat the Emo Pirate, I've had to take on the personality of the Emo Pirate. Learn what makes him tick. Become his pervert doppleganger. I've also had to listen to more Vagrant releases than should be allowable by law...

Momus' Adventures in Stripcreator Volume Two by UnknownEric 1-21-03

While here, I've taken it upon myself to coach some of the recurring characters on new ways of provoking outrage. For example, Tobor. His "cornholing" routine has become... well... passe. So try his new dialogue on for size. RAAR! TOBOR WILL PONTIFICATE ON THE CULTURAL MEANING OF MONKEYS MASTURBATING! I also spoke with the cowboys about their "physics," to great effect, I think. So I says, "That art installation isn't going to generate outrage by itself!"

Momus' Adventures in Stripcreator Volume Three by UnknownEric 1-21-03

I believe I have tracked down the current location of the Emo Pirate. This should be quick. Emo Pirate, the break-up of the Promise Ring has caused your house to burn down! Oh, my precious hoodie and hornrims! That should keep him occupied for the foreseeable future.

eh...

I dont really like the term "emo". The only person I can REALLY call emo, is that whiny sissy chris (I think his name is) otherwise known as Dashboard Confessional.

People try to call Thursday an "emo" band. I read an interview with them, and they were like "If one more person calls us EMO, we are gonna cut throats." (or something along those lines). After that they said "We are a hardcore band, and have always been a hardcore band." I agree. They are maybe melodic hardcore, but nonetheless, hardcore. They are also my favorite band, but that is irrelevant.

Unknown, what sort of underground music do you listen to? I would be interested in knowing.

Punk, I think you've missed the point entirely.

Eric, I can't say no to a good Emo Pirate comic. The second one didn't really work for me, but I think the first and third were right on.

The what mentioned above is total fiction. Please don't take it seriously!

Here's a fun Brad fact: I once totalled a car by hitting a deer on the cold Canadian highway at 3 in the morning. Playing on the radio after I got smashed in the face with a freezing airbag and screeched to a halt? Momus.

Cowboy postmodernism by boorite 1-21-03

One day at the ranch... So I says, "that dialectic subdeconstructivist theory ain't gonna generate an abundance of gendered narratives by itself." Ha, ha. What insights does this offer into the problems of representation, identity and reality in contemporary culture?

I wasnt commenting on the comic. Just the term in general.

I call him "annoying." ;)
I don't really have anything against most of the bands that people peg as "emo." Promise Ring had some good songs, Thursday isn't bad, etc. It's just that the Emo Pirate is so much fun to write for!

Post-punk (PiL, Raincoats, Gang of Four) and C86 (Razorcuts, Talulah Gosh, Wedding Present) mostly, although my collection ranges from Beethoven to Black Flag to Aztec Camera to Afghan Whigs. It depends on my mood.

Shit! Someone else has heard of Aztec Camera!

I was just listening to "High Land, Hard Rain" yesterday, which is what made me think of them when posting. Great jazz-inflected-janglepop. :)
