Nullset Staff Writers Unwilling To Recommit to Website Relationship
LUDINGTON, MI - 2006-01-26
BY JORDAN RACEY AND KEVIN GERHART
With the recent reopening of the Nullset and the return of Mike Malburg to article-writing status, the next logical step for the site is to mend its broken relationships with Jordan Racey and Kevin Gerhart, the site's other adminstrators/staff writers. However, the pair have demonstrated reluctance to do so, citing that they "just aren't ready for a serious relationship right now," and "trying to keep myself from getting hurt again."
"You know, I haven't deleted TNS' URL from my Bookmarks folder yet," said a visibly pained Racey. "Sometimes I get on the internet, and I sit and just, like, look at the link and highlight it for a little while . . . and then I can't handle it anymore, and I go off to my room and listen to old Nouveaux songs while staring at the ceiling . . ."
"I don't know if I can go through all that again," he whimpered.
Gerhart was less conflicted about the situation. "You know, I don't know if I want to put up with this 'make-up, break-up'd crap again. It's always the same: Mike tells us the site is back up and working and we get all excited and write new articles and stuff for a couple months, and then we talk less and less. After a while, no one's written anything in six weeks and the readers are all antsy. Then there's a plea for more funny, and then we get back on it for a while. Then we start to talk even less, and then Mike forgets to pay the hosting bill like he does every year, and then no one wants to do anything. Finally, he pays the stupid bill and the whole process starts all over again."
By the end of the interview, Gerhart was on his knees, tears streaming down his cheeks and screaming red-facedly at the ceiling: "YOU CAN'T TREAT PEOPLE THIS WAY! OUR HEARTS AND FEELINGS AREN'T TOYS, MIKE! YOU CAN TELL WHEN JORDAN'S RUN OUT OF THINGS TO WRITE BECAUSE PEOPLE START SCREAMING! I HATE YOU! I HATE MYSELF FOR CARING ABOUT YOUR STUPID SITE!"
Gerhart and Racey have refused any further interviews. Malburg has displayed some concern regarding their emotional roller coaster:
"Whoa, chill out guys - it's just a website. I mean, I know you guys like to pretend that it's more than that, because you have empty lives with no desperately-needed female contact, which this site stands in for, but come on. Get a grip."
Malburg was last seen in the server closet in the bowels of TNS' headquarters building (codename: Theta One) in Florida, high on Bawls energy drink, with his arm around a server rack.
"I know, baby, I know. I said some things I didn't mean either. But you, *sniff* you're- you're the best thing that's ever happened to me. I let some things get in the way of you and me being together before, and I want you to know that that's over. You and me, babe, until the end of the world!"
"I'll never let go, TNS."

Gosh Jordan, it sure is good to see that "Maybe Tomorrow" played a role in someone else making it through the long thenullset.com hiatus.

Weren't they pure poison for evangelical Christian high school underclassmen? Talk about the most depressing songs ever...

I have this rule that I have about band names. I never trust a band with more vowels in their name than consanants.
So yeah about this whining that is happening. I have some like... cheese over here that I could send you that might go quite well with that. Er, I mean.... Someone call the WAAHHHM-BU-LANCE!!! Er...I mean... I`m sorry, I can`t understand what you are saying, I don`t speak Whinese.... Er.... =P

Plus, I mean, their name is French...so how good could they possibly be? Speaking of the French, I read yesterday that French president Jacques Chirac got prank called from a couple of Canadian radio hosts pretending to be the new Canadian Prime Minister and he invited them for an official state visit. I thought it was funny.

No wonder they love Jerry Lewis so much over there. They understand the way the man thinks...however weak the overall process might be...
You know, some of us from back in the day were discussing Nouveaux and their lyrical content. We decided that since they had Christianity in their corner, it hampered their ability to be as depressing as possible. Between the melodic hooks and their (as we called it) 'whiny, whiny hope,' we felt it precluded their ability to be a forerunner to emo.

Haven't we been through this cycle enough? What's not to say that 2006 will be like every other year where the Nullset is active for several months, partially dormant in the summer, and completely non-existent by October? I can't take much more of this roller coaster. My emotional energy is getting taxed dealing with this anxious waiting for extended periods.

To hear Candace whine like that is just like smellin' that old closet you never open except when you're desperate to find that other shoe.
It doesn't you've changed either Candace :)

I don't believe it was a whine...I believe it was a question.
