10:11 Tom: don't do this conversation, it's a bit shit
me: there's one chat which is just you saying 'brup'
i'm putting that up
Tom: please don't put literally every chat we've ever had up
me: fine
Tom: email me the ones you're going to put up before you put them up
10:12 i want to check i'm not slagging off someone i shouldn't be
me: we slag indie people off a lot in this chat i'm reading
Tom: ok, well don't put it up
me: maybe i'll edit that out
Tom: forward me the chats you're thinking of sticking up first though
10:13 or just tell me which ones, i've got them saved in my inbox too
hang on, we haven't done any album reviews since the kanye one
they've got to have album reviews, we're nothing without the album reviews
me: we chat about raw power in this old chat
Tom: ah ok
10:14 me: and sun kil moon
10:16 Tom: where do we slag indie people off?
me: jeff-buckley a-likes
Tom: nah, that's alright, surely?
me: then banning a capella
Tom: surely they're not that sensitive
me: hmm
Tom: fuck, they doesn't have a sense of humour about themselves actually
10:17 ^^^^ that's slagging them off
me: i'm gonna write (poor indie peeps) after our slagging off
that way it means we were joking
10:18 Tom: or "we love them really"
me: yeah, i'll put that

Tom: i don't really know what to say to that
10:26 me: just that you do
