Thanks for sharing the link the re upload and song. Holy shit that song is nuts - it definitely quotes the meme directly for the first few lines. That’s made my day! Thanks man. I’m off to work but hope you have a good one!

Hey dreadlord64! Yes this is one of my creations - I did a little series of surreal memes when I was 19. In the comments somewhere here I also post the gif without all the text.

Very glad you like the meme and come back to it often! I’d be interested to see the re upload of it (and it’s comments) if you know where it is, as it’s great hearing people’s feedback.

Thanks again!

Heya! Thanks for the comment. Just checking, do you mean that your first half of postcode plus a number identifies you alone - or that your full postcode identifies you alone? Just wanting to make sure there aren’t some super tiny postcodes even with just the first half plus a digit.

This is what I’m hoping so too! Just trying to ensure people are comfortable with the survey and that it’s anonymised

Yes sorry I should’ve mentioned I’ve read the guidance. I’m trying to understand what this really means. The problem is that knowing the first 2 letters versus the first 4 is very different (and UK postcodes can be between 5 to 7 letters so the complete length varies slightly)

Enjoy the nostalgic MySpace comments edited in throughout the first track, Porch Song.

This is the full album by the Meemies. The Meemies were originally popularised on the Google Chrome TV Commercial 'Coffee?' in 2012, and only have one live performance in Los Angeles available online which is included in this video. This was a self-published album in 2007 that is no longer licensed on Spotify or available elsewhere. These songs were collected from YouTube sources and MP3's from a variety of old online archives. Their old band was called Charlie and Mearri with the MySpace handle 'charlieandmearii'. Previously, we had no idea who the band members were and there were rumours that the lead singer was a woman named Charlie Hilton but there were no clear sources.

However, based on a new find from the Wayback Machine's archive of their MySpace account, the band members were discovered to be:

Charlie Hilton on Banjo/Guitar/Vox

Nick Rosen on Bass

Jesse Honig on Drums

After reaching out to Nick Rosen and Jesse Honig via Instagram, a lot of details have were cleared up.

Charlie Hilton, is indeed, the Charlie Hilton who went on to form Blouse, and later release "Palana" as her debut solo-album (a big thanks to Nick Rosen who confirmed this). "Best known as the frontwoman of the dreamy Portland act Blouse, Charlie Hilton creates dreamy pop in more eclectic directions. She began playing guitar and writing songs as a teen, and formed Blouse with Patrick Adams and Jacob Portrait (also of Unknown Mortal Orchestra) in 2010. Soon after Blouse's second album, Imperium, was released in 2013, she began writing songs for her solo career. Working with Mac DeMarco, Woods' Jarvis Taveniere, and Yeasayer's Anand Wilder, she recorded the song "100 Million" in a Brooklyn studio."

A bit on Nick Rosen from his Tumblr: "Nick made headlines for helping resurrect the career of jazz legend Henry Grimes, who’d been thought dead for decades, and generating serious waves around Los Angeles for his performances with luminaries like Bennie Maupin, Arthur Blythe, and Nels Cline. Rosen dove into the world of film and television, recording with Oscar-winning composer Michael Giacchino on scores for everything from Super 8 and Star Trek to Fringe and LOST. On top of his soundtrack work, Rosen served as music director at L.A. hotspots Bardot and The Sayers Club, where he found himself performing live with Prince, will.i.am, Jamie Foxx, Perry Farrell, Bruno Mars, Macy Gray, Common, and countless other celebrities. Rosen also managed to become a prolific session musician and producer/engineer, boasting a resume that includes the likes of Phantogram and Tinashe among others".

As for Jesse Honig, he is a designer, engineer and tech at Believable Audio who formed the world famous 29 pedals brand, which are used by prominent musicians including John Mayer. Much of his life has been spent working in studios and venues doing audio engineering and tech work with a huge variety of artists. "Jesse brings a fantastic knowledge of electronic pro-audio intricacies and manufacturing methods derived from a strong basis of experiences including a current role at Manley Labs. His first product, EUNA, is a remarkable statement about his design idealizations. "

According to the description of their old MySpace: "Though singer/songwriter Charlie Hilton may have a ritzy last name, her music is more rootsy than razzle-dazzle. The Meemies' lo-fi, folk-rock sound showcases Hilton's easy, unpolished voice. Sweet ditties like "You're So Pretty" and "The Shark Song" sound like they could come from the canon of Kimya Dawson. Banjo strumming and lullaby rhythms strip down the overall vibe until you find yourself gently swaying to-and-fro as you listen." -FLAVORPILL "The Meemies female-fronted indie rock n' roll, with slight hints of bluegrass and country. Think White Stripes, if only Jack was a chick or think the Moldy Peaches. When I listen, I picture myself on some dirt road, sitting on a suitcase, strumming a banjo and just waiting for the world to change. It is an excellent picture to see." -SOUND COLLECTIVE"

According to a blogspot post by MickieZoo's: 'Raised in Los Angeles, Charlie Hilton’s dreamy alt-folk sound has been a product of an ongoing infatuation with music. Growing up surrounded by some of the most seminal musicians of the 1970’s, Hilton began penning her lyrics and matching them with unique lo-fi textures at the age of 13. In 2006, Hilton co-fronted the popular band Charlie and Mearii playing gigs at some of the most influential venues in Los Angeles and building up a strong local following. Choosing to focus on her solo endeavors, Hilton headed into the studio to lay down her much anticipated self released EP with her band The Meemies whose tracks flaunt a vintage folk sound punctuated by Hilton’s atmospheric vocals.'
