Matt Charters and Knock Knock Ginger
July 11th, 2007 | by Talcum Powder |Mr. Matt Charters, a recent Waterloo CS graduate, plays trumpet and guitar for Knock Knock Ginger, a local indie band.
Until a few months ago, he wrote his blog in all lower case, which made it a bitch to read.
Why did he intentionally make his blog hard to read, I wonder. Don’t want to stand out, don’t want people to notice? Low self-esteem, perhaps?
There’s nothing really interesting on his blog. It’s mostly “I felt this,” “I thought that,” and “I saw that.”
Every now and then though, he punches out some insanely delusional crap that just make you burst out a hearty laugh. (e.g. “well the indie rocker in me won out yesterday…” - yes, you super cool indie rocker you)
Now, some comments about his blog entries on being part of Knock Knock Ginger, the greatest band ever.
At first, the delusional assessments of Knock Knock Ginger’s popularity (note: No one likes Knock Knock Ginger. The band’s music sounds like something Jandek would have made if he were a 14 year-old Japanese girl. And, if he had no talent. UWers only say they like Knock Knock Ginger because they had a very sheltered upper-middle class upbringing and wouldn’t dream of saying anything bad about anyone lest they come off as rude.) were mildly amusing. Then, as the delusion reached the level of full-blown psychosis, it became just sad.
I think Mr. Charters should just go get a job at EDS or something.
Messrs. Kenshi Kawaguchi and Sean Lynch who blog under the same domain have been added to the queue. They should expect to receive my loving praises soon.
