Okay, whoever dug up this old topic is asking for an essay by me *chuckles*
Alright, it's past obvious by now that I'm an Apollo440 fan.
Right, their guitarrist, Norman Fisher-Jones, otherwise known as Noko, had a homepage on
www.noko440.com which recently sadly vanished so I can't prove my point.
The site is a simple thing, really:
The title "noko440.com" was on a green/blue GHOYOS (third album, if it doesn't tell you anything, it's not that important) pixelated background, and written in gothic-styled, pink/magenta lettes.
Below was a photo of a monkey on a table.
Below THAT was the quote "Without art, we are but monkey's with car keys".
Then a link to a gallery (empty besides a photo of a stained-glass pentagram Noko sports in his apartment) and a link to the @440 homepage recently taken over by Sony.
When I right-clicked the title and saved it, the file was called pinkgoth.gif . Later it warped to pinkgothic440.gif (which caused much confusion for me), but that's aside the point. The first time I found it, I found the name so amusing that I from then on called Noko PinkGoth, or PinkGoth1.
I've been repeatedly told I act like Noko. That and the fact I admire his creativity made me pick the name "PinkGoth2".
In IRC, it's a fabulous thing.
Every two months or so I'll nickchange to PinkGoth1 and type /me has a personality dislocation
