BRING BACK THE WASTELAND!

I ended up discussing Zooey with my cousin and my boyfriend the other day and we reached the conclusion that, although we don't like a lot of her work (with the exception of The Happening lololol) and have probably claimed to dislike her in the past, it's not actually her that we hate but the wannabes she has spawned. Horrible, horrible pretend-quirky Cath Kidston wankers who think they're really alternative because they love Belle & Sebastian and the Smiths and will have "gin in teacups<333" in their Twitter bios and think that because they bake cakes every so often, it means that they have a personality.

I'm looking at other options other than the preloaded plug-ins in Logic, what does everyone else use? What are your go to's for things like compressors, delays etc.

LOL, I'm not due off 'til next Thursday. 0% chance I'll be delayed.

thanks flash that's cleared it up for me

Margaret Thatcher said he was a terrorist but at the same time she was friends with Pinochet. This automatically means he was a good egg. #davebait

You're enraged because he died with the intention of going hungry?

Couple of points here... What difference does the organisation of the messageboards make in terms of actually turning up at the gigs? Most gigs are advertised at the calender thing on the top of the forums, so unless you stick your head in the ground, it's not hard to see what's on. I usually go for a prowl in both the AUBL and All Music forums to see what might be on in the future, and it's not really that hard. As for attendance at gigs, I think it was Rob Karloff that once said to me on here that he'd never seen a band really go for it as far as promotion was concerned. I've never been handed a flyer for a local gig when out in town anyway, although some people assure me that they've done such a thing in the past. Maybe it might be an idea to conduct some market research some day into just how aware the general public is aware of the music scene in Aberdeen? Maybe such a thing has been done, I don't know. My other point though..Rob Karloff made a point about how some people are more into the scene than the music. I have to say that if it hadn't been for the people in the scene, I'd unlikely have continued to want to go to gigs and such like. It's strange, but I could directly attribute my attendance at a few gigs solely based on people who I knew being at a gig where someone's played, and then i've went to another gig of theirs to discover other bands, and it all goes from there. It might not be as important to people who's friends are in the scene already, but to people who are just starting to go to gigs, the people in the scene are almost as important as the music itself. I'm not sure if this makes any sense, but the core point is that it's not just about the music. I've got one gripe with the boards - it seems to really, really clutter things up with all the band forums being visible on the front page. Otherwise, things are fine the way they are - although I wouldn't support The Wasteland being subdivided anymore, otherwise it runs the risk of losing the charm that it has.
