Welcome to the Jeff Buckley appreciation thread!











The first three shamelessly stolen from the Jeff community on LJ. I ask you not to hotlink, though: please host them on your own server! And credit should go to the wonderful fan on the abovementioned community. I'm too lazy to find the actual post, so I think you'll have to do it

Yay, new thread! We should put a giant Jeff picture in the first post . And maybe we should make a list of Jeff fans, just for the hell of it (and because I have a tendency to forget people's names).

Ooh, by the way - Jeff has six votes. Yes that's right - six!

goodnightboy

Six! Hurrah, Jeff!

OMG I know just the thing to put up. and yeah, I'll do that

No one has anythign to say about 'Your Flesh Is So Nice'? Okay, okay, you meanines. I'll go look for the lyrics

i want to tell you a story about a little cutey
she's ass-slappin' pretty and fingers wanna let her lick me
stick the thick of my pussy from across the street
she looked good enough to eat... me! kitty!
your flesh is nice
your flesh is nice
let me take a bite
your flesh is so nice
oh, i take off my belt
oh, i whip the staircase (whip the staircase)
kill all the men everything's dead to them
you're the only one i follow come on and let me give you that "o"

your flesh is nice
i wanna take you twice
your flesh is nice
ooo your flesh is nice
your flesh is nice
wanna take a bite
your flesh is so nice
your flesh is so
your flesh is so
your flesh is so
your flesh is so nice (repeat)

I know it's a joke song, but I just don't like it much.

Edit: I think I took 'big pictures of Jeff' a bit too seriously there any newbie/lurker out there: we're not huge fangirls I promise. We actually love this man for his music and voice.

otherwise

Ha! I was waiting to see if you'd post the lyrics .

Yeah, I pretty much don't like the song at all. It seems kind of pointless even if it was supposed to be entertaining, and a serious waste of voice that could be used for real songs . It seems more like something 50 Cent would sing to me.


Edit: I the opening post. Exactly what I had in mind! Doesn't he look yummy?

goodnightboy

Lazy pig

I've heard it once, got so weirded out by it and then never listened to it again 50 Cent is more likely to talk about sex/drugs/both than literally eating flesh, but I get what you mean. It's a waste of a track on Sketches IMO. Even as a joke song. Plus I hate the word pussy, so yeah.

otherwise

I find the song slightly sex-oriented, hence 50 Cent . I hate the word 'pussy' too, and don't understand why it would ever need to be used in a song. Let alone one by Jeff.

I saved some of those pictures up there, they were just screaming wallpaper and avatar. Anyway, I'm off to have tea. Spaghetti, yum .

goodnightboy

Well you're right, it is I know! I thought Jeff would, err, be more classy than that?

Hurrah! I want to see them. Post them here when you're done! Or in the Avatar Thread, because I think I should pimp threads like that

infinite sadness

I'm not a huge fan of the song either, though I do love his falsetto when he sings the first "your flesh is so". Every once in awhile I find myself in the mood for this song, but it's rare. Not much of a fan. I doubt it would've made the acutal "My Sweetheart, the Drunk" album, had Jeff lived to make it.

goodnightboy

I don't think so either.

What songs do you think would have made the proper My Sweetheart The Drunk though?

otherwise

Turns out CSI was a repeat, so I made a couple of Jeff avi's out of those pictures. I posted them on the avatar thread as requested . You should be grateful too, I had to go through four pages to find it!

goodnightboy

thank you, then! I have a stupid question to ask, though - how do you get the icons to be 100x100? Because I can't do that? And how do you make borders like in your current icon?

I liked your icons. Although for some reason I thought you'd do an icon on the third picture. I love that one though. The telephone. Aww. And he makes bananas look sexy

otherwise

I haven't finished yet. I'm going to do some more avi's with the other pictures tonight or tomorrow, depending how lazy I am .

When you go into Adobe you make your original 'canvas' 100 x 100 ( I then zoom it to 400% 'cos otherwise I can't see), and when you place your picture you should be able to size it to fit that with your little corner arrows.

Same thing goes for a border, you just make the picture slighty smaller than the 100 x 100 box, then whatever background color you have becomes the border. Usually I make the whole avatar how I want it, then reduce it to say 96 x 96 - then you make a 100 x 100 black (or whatever color) box and place the avatar on it. Ta da border!

goodnightboy

Sounds a bit confusing I'll try it out and see how it goes.

Hurrah! Can't wait to see the icons (there, some more motivation for you )

otherwise

Jeff has 8 votes! Eight!

There's to much good tv on tonight so as motivating as you are, I'm going to wait until tomorrow for the rest of my avatars .

goodnightboy

Hurrah for 8 votes, then!

And new song? How about 'Satisfied Mind', I kind of like it actually.

How many times have you heard someone say
If I had money, Id do things my way,
But little they know that its so hard to find
One rich man with a satisfied mind.

Money cant buy back your youth when youre old
A friend, when youre lonely, or peace to your soul.
The wealthiest person is a pauper at times
Compared to the man with a satisfied mind.

When my life is over and my time has run out.
My friends and my loved ones, Ill leave them no doubt.
But, one things gone for certain, when it comes my time
Ill leave this old world with a satisfied mind.
Satisfied mind.
