I'm not having a go, just trying to explain my comment about relevance.

Yes I thought the same thing that's why I was initially sceptic about the question because if anyone links clothing to music in a fashion/genre stance then I would have to poke them in the eye.

A music questionaire should be about the music but all has been revealed about the respective question and the questionaire itself

ah but it's a 'music related questionare', semantics eh. It's not much of a surprise to me that a 'commercial music degree' is about more than the music itself.

Hi Catherine,

Hope this is of some help...


1.What gigs have you been to recently?
We are Scientists (Aberdeen), Explosions in the sky (Glasgow), The Whip (Aberdeen)

2.What gigs have you coming up?
Mogwai, Errors etc @ Tramway (glasgow), Hidden leaves, 10 Easy wishes, Le Reno Amps @ tunnels (Aberdeen).

3.How do you hear about gigs?
I read about them here, I'm a member of multiple mailing lists and nosey at the adverts in magazines.

4.What do you think of the local music scene? (general, don’t go over board!)
It's okay. There are some really good bands around that don't realise how good they are. However, there are a hell of a lot of terrible ones that think they are incredible.

5.Where do you socialise/ hang out?
Prince of Wales, Chi Bar. I quite like 99's but haven't been that much.

6.If it is a pub, what did you do before you were old enough?
To be blunt, I went to the pubs anyways. I also used to behave although I lived in One-Up.

7.Do you like Aberdeen?
I can't hate it that much or I wouldn't still be here. Aberdeen has a nice, "It's big but it's still like a village" feel about it. I also grew up here so it's always going to have some importance to me. The shopping is crap though.

8.Do you think Aberdeen needs another alt. Club, pub or venue?
We barely use the ones we have so no. I think the ones we have just need improving.

9. Do you feel the current ones need improved?
Moshulu needs completely gutted. I've actually not gone to gigs there because it's so manky - nothing to do with the bands themselves. I somehow doubt I'm alone in this. Drummonds needs to not feel like an inferno and Tunnels is actually fine the way it is in my eyes.

10.Where do you buy your music from?
Amazon.com, One Up and the sales in HMV.

11.Where do you shop for clothes?
In Aberdeen? Topshop, New Look and the odd thing from AB10. Outwith Aberdeen: Urban outfitters, Zara and the bigger H&M's.

[stepmaster5000]

1. What gigs have you been to recently?

The Twilight Sad(moshulu), The 1990's(drummonds), errors and the 1990's(moshulu)
Camera Obscura (glasgow)

2. What gigs have you coming up?

mogwai, clinic, malcolm middleton, frightened rabbit (tramway glasgow) last ever triptych party (the arches glasgow) king creosote (cowray hall) Caribou (the tunnels) A hawk and a hacksaw (the tunnels)

3. How do you hear about gigs?

this website, mailing lists, back of music magazines, word of mouth, my space

4. What do you think of the local music scene? (general, don’t go over board!)

they are very very few local bands that I'd go see live, most of the local bands are metal, heavy rock, emo, sreamo whatever you want to call it, that isn't my scene. would be nice to see more of a diversity of bands from different genres. although they are afew great exceptions, including quite a good hip/hop dj scene with the likes of giles walker and dj ala fu

5. Where do you socialise/ hang out?

st. machar bar, the bobbin, TK'S, under the hammer, the basement, wild boar, drummonds, ma' camerons, snafu, friends flats

6. If it is a pub, what did you do before you were old enough?
sneaked into pubs and clubs mainly the palace and lava

7. Do you like Aberdeen?

yes and no

8. Do you think Aberdeen needs another alt. Club, pub or venue?

is it not getting another in the form of tunnels 3? was that just a rumour?

9. Do you feel the current ones need improved?

Most definitely, esp moshulu, i thought that when barfly took it over it would improve.
saying that if it was gutted and turned in to a completely spotless bright venue, people would probably complain and miss the sticky carpet, I suppose it has its charm.

10. Where do you buy your music from?

One-up, burrow them from the library for 50P a pop

11. Where do you shop for clothes?

TK MAXX, second hand shops(mostly edinburgh and glasgow the ones here are fairly rubbish), and monsoon men, never ever primark, also gig t-shirts, urban outfitters (glasgow)
