Default Aberdeen Doesn't Exist... Discuss?
According to The NME this week & their Topman sponsored pullout.. Aberdeen doesn't exist.

Loads of people on other messageboards have been moaning that the recent Sugarcult tour wasn't playing Glasgow / Liverpool / Birmingham and numerous other places on the tour but was playing "Aberdeen..... who the fuck goes to gigs in Aberdeen!"

Are we all just wasting our time or should we all email the NME in discust.

editor@nme.com

If anyone emails : Go Postal - gopostal@nme.com and gets their letter published then they can have 2 free tickets to any gig they wish at Moshulu.

Aberdeen has 2 Unis and a College as well as a Topman.

Happy writing.

How many agents and bands read it and then think... Oh i`ll miss out Aberdeen and just use those 19 places for touring bands.

I once sent an abusive e-mail to NME cos in a review they said that "like rain and irritable vowel movements the Needles come from Aberdeen". That pissed me off. They didn't print it though, unsuprisingly.

this is the same pile of wank that's editor once said there were no decent bands in scotland, and he wouldn't feature any band from there. A year later Franz Ferdinand have come along and they can't get enough bands from glasgow to stick in their shit encrusted rag. Fuck em.

I'll get on to it tomorrow, once I get a copy of the NME and photocopy it. Not paying to read that shit. Any way maybe a certain venue could write in disgust saying that they have recently started taking bookings for larger bands maybe offer the Editor to come and visit see what its all about. May also mention that Aberdeen has one of the best local music scenes in the country.
