Default Late Lists - 05-01-2008, 10:39

better late than never I suppose! here's our hitlists for the year past and hopes for 2008

happy new year everyone - thanks for the continued support...

================================================== ========

Graeme

Ups

Amiina-Kurr
Glasvegas Daddy's Gone single and Home Tape demos
Gossip at T-In-The Park
Feist 1-2-3-4
Los Campesinos! singles
Ivor Cutler night at The Lemon Tree
Control (Ian Curtis biopic)

Downs

The closure of The Lemon Tree
Aereogramme's demise
Mud at Festivals
Control (Ian Curtis biopic)

Looking forward to

The 3rd Le Reno Amps album and their continued slow but steady rise to the recognition they deserve.
Glasvegas, album and gigs. Despite a crap name they will be huge in 2008. Punch your hand in the air, glorious, soaring, goosebumpy POP music!
Dig, Lazarus, Dig!!!
Opportunities presented by the closure of The Lemon Tree
Mud free festivals
Eternal optimisim

================================================== ========

Jenny

2007 Pros

Bat for Lashes @ Field Day
Matthew Dear @ Field Day
Adrian Crowley live on numerous occasions
Amanda Palmer (Dresden Dolls) solo in Edinburgh
Boredoms
Ivor Cutler Night
Hallam Foe
Joan Eardley in Edinburgh
Yorkshire Sculpture Park (genius place)

2007 Cons

The Lemon Tree closing & the resulting massive loss to the arts in Aberdeen

2008 Looking Forward

NDT2

Good Music

================================================== ========

Mike

2007 Pros

Wow i soo agree with Jenny's list
Triptych 07 Show
Stars of the Lid CD
Finding fantastic NEW music coming out of Europe, Iceland, America, Canada & Japan
Another year of meeting some lovely music people who appreciate the little extra that make things special on their visits to Aberdeen

2007 Cons

The Lemon Tree Closing Down
The hype & almost exclusive blandness of new UK music
Selfish & self centred people

2008

NDT2
Mark Rothco retrospective in London
Triptych 08
Quality not quantity
The unexpected email that makes you go WOW
Sadly the hole left by The Lemon Tree will dilute slots available for
independent promotors & lead to a blanding-out of live music.....unless...

================================================== ========

Mark

the continued quality output of Fence Records
Boredoms @ LT
Viking Moses @ Tunnels
great nights at Peacocks
Francois & Rozi animation and live soundtrack STUNNING
