rockabilly

[El Jefe]

Ah, didn't realise. But you can appreciate my confusion.

 

[rutabowa]

maybe "racked" means having a prominent ribcage?

 

[dodgepot]

yes. yes, i can <nods>

 

[Tank Girl]

rainingstairs is also (I believe) american, so maybe it means something that we don't know about.

No, it does just mean tits.

 

[dodgepot]

this is all *very* confusing, now.

definitions of "racked"

let's talk about the music.

i ordered a dale hawkins CD yesterday.

 

[Tank Girl]

TITS!!!!!

everything is tits.

 

[rutabowa]

maybe "racked" means having a prominent ribcage?

like a toast rack i mean

 

[dodgepot]

crikey

 

[Tank Girl]

well I've got tits, so I'm rockabilly

 

[dodgepot]

wicked.

has anyone here ever been to one of the dingwalls sunday rockabilly all-dayers?

 

[Tank Girl]

yeah, all of them. I am rockabilly

 

[dodgepot]

you're a liar.

 

[zenie]

well I've got tits, so I'm rockabilly

So have I but smaller, can I be a mini rockabilly?

 

[bluestreak]

i hear it's the new thing to dance to in shoreditch.

it's not is it? those idiots destroy everything they touch

 

[El Jefe]

To be fair, dollys is pretty late. The whole rockabilly thing was getting big in Shoreditch etc about 18 months ago, I suspect it's already in decline

 

[dodgepot]

don't worry bluestreak. i'm sure rockabilly can survive being trendy again for a while. like with any trend, the people who really get into it will stay with it and appreciate it, and the leechers will get bored and bugger off.

i'm not sure which one i am yet :-B (although i never set foot in hoxton or shoreditch )

 

[Paulie Tandoori]

oh noes, i've got no racks and my hairdresser but my quiff off last time, i'm not rackabilly anymore

 

[Tank Girl]

you can let your hair grow back and get a boob job paulie, don't be sad

 

[zenie]

Yeh I'd say it's been and gone as with burlesque, there are still a lot of people appreciating that kind of thing though.

I think you're a big fat liar and have been to Hoxton and Shoreditch

 

[Tank Girl]

I've never been to hoxton or shoreditch

 

[Iam]

Rockabilly will never die!

*holds hair up in pseudo-quiff*

 

[dodgepot]

I think you're a big fat liar and have been to Hoxton and Shoreditch

only when i was younger. once, maybe. to metalheadz at the blue note, mid/late nineties. oh, and to the bar that was (is?) above the 333.

not very rockabilly, i know. but i did like eddie cochran when i was at junior school. that was in basingstoke, not hoxton.
