Hmm.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Friday, 3 June 2005 15:48 (twenty-one years ago)

he writes 24/7, speed-o-dee style, no breaks, just for YOU.

btw how OLD? wrong choice of word. it's YOUNG, you silly!

Ned is the coolest person ever. Seriously.

― The Brainwasher (Twilight), Friday, 3 June 2005 15:50 (twenty-one years ago)

I'm guessing he's in his early-to-mid 30s. He was born a "music writer".

― Monkey of the SOUTH, Friday, 3 June 2005 15:53 (twenty-one years ago)

He is as old as time. His reviews of the Edison phonograms are a joy to read, particularly the scathing review of Sousa's Yellow march (Ode to Coldplay).

ned is only, like, 2 in hobbit years.

I loved Ned in Witness! Write Back Ned!

Let's cut him in half and find out!

haha david r. made me spit out my cookie.

Ned has full use of 'the voice'.

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Friday, 3 June 2005 16:01 (twenty-one years ago)

I could totally take Rags in a voice-off, tho. Totally. I'm gonna record myself deriving Planck's Constant.

Ned was a pupil of mine before he turned to eee-vil.

I know a Raggett with two T's. This "one-T" Ragget (presumably pronounced "rah-zhay" like a damn frog!) is an impostor.

Is it true that he was mentored by Robert Evans and Zsa Zsa Gabor, both of whom were also his nannies?

And that he can turn water into winegums?

And that top surgeons declared his brain "unpronounceable"?

Is he famous for saying "if it ain't baroque, don't fix it"?

― Monkey of the SOUTH, Friday, 3 June 2005 16:08 (twenty-one years ago)

Goldfrapp even named their new album in tribute to one of Ned's favorite songs

― Michael F Gill (Michael F Gill), Friday, 3 June 2005 16:11 (twenty-one years ago)

he is like the calm eye at the centre of the cyclone that is ILX.

That's true. What a thoughtful band!

Ned has written about music since Ancient Greece. He used to give Pythagoras some rave reviews back then.

Oh my God, where's the fan club link??????

I met Alan Colmes on the street once. Asked him how he kept from throttling Sean Hannity on the air. He chuckled mirthlessly and walked away.

I have never met Ned Raggett.

ned raggett no longer needs the weirding module. how can this be?

That Ned, He is Wonderful

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Friday, 3 June 2005 18:09 (twenty-one years ago)

ned, do you make house calls?

― breezy, Friday, 3 June 2005 20:31 (twenty-one years ago)

How much ya willin' to pay?

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Friday, 3 June 2005 20:34 (twenty-one years ago)

Ned, why is your fan club mispelling your name?

― PappaWheelie (PappaWheelie), Friday, 3 June 2005 20:34 (twenty-one years ago)

one is his real name, the other is his stage name, I bet.

― StanM, Friday, 3 June 2005 20:35 (twenty-one years ago)

youre the best ned!

― nedsbiggestfan, Friday, 3 June 2005 20:38 (twenty-one years ago)

Ned, why is your fan club mispelling your name?

So overwhelmed with passion are they that the second t goes missing.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Friday, 3 June 2005 20:45 (twenty-one years ago)

Yeah, I think they give it to Dan Sel(t)zer a lot.

Those same guys have lost the p in PappaWheelie too. I think they left it in my swimming pool :-(

― PappaWheelie (PappaWheelie), Friday, 3 June 2005 20:49 (twenty-one years ago)

Ned, whom are you flipping off in that picture?

― Tim Ellison (Tim Ellison), Friday, 3 June 2005 20:50 (twenty-one years ago)

Anyone who asks that question.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Friday, 3 June 2005 20:56 (twenty-one years ago)

ned stop starting these threads!!

seriously ned, as a great music writer, how long have you been doing this, how old are you (how does one acquire that much knowledge), did you study journalism, and are you a full time writer? aspiring writers want to know! (this is not facetious)

― nedsbiggestfan, Friday, 3 June 2005 21:02 (twenty-one years ago)

(how does one acquire that much knowledge)

Did you construct Pi especially for your album or did it already exist?

― StanM, Friday, 3 June 2005 21:12 (twenty-one years ago)

Beating those circles into shape was a pain...

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Friday, 3 June 2005 21:23 (twenty-one years ago)

If I were you I'd get that wayward second T insured before it disappears completely. Or get your name trademarked, while you still have both T's. Without a sound action plan, Ned Ragget will be a household name quicker than you can say Xerox. I'd hate to see that happen.

― VegemiteGrrl (VegemiteGrrl), Saturday, 4 June 2005 06:00 (twenty-one years ago)

A fearful thought!

(Did you see Mr. Murphy's SF show? The LA one was quite good!)

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Saturday, 4 June 2005 06:03 (twenty-one years ago)

I like ned's balsh

― Popli Kid, Saturday, 4 June 2005 06:10 (twenty-one years ago)

[xpost] Sadly no. Too hard to get to SF and back on a school night.

Yeah that's me, rock and roll all night, party every day. Now where'd I put my dentures...

― VegemiteGrrl (VegemiteGrrl), Saturday, 4 June 2005 06:18 (twenty-one years ago)

youre the best ned!

Hold on, so now you're saying he's only the best Ned and nothing more?
What happeNed, nedsbiggestfan?

― Comma Police, Saturday, 4 June 2005 09:04 (twenty-one years ago)

Only one of them has reviewed their own Atomic Dustbin, though.
