just discovered this thread. i was looking for "the venue" too as the pixies, one of my all time favourite bands, played there in 1989. amazing.

Hi, Is anyone going to the Flaming Lips next Wednesday, and driving back up? If so, would anyone like to give me a lift? I'd be able to provide petrol money and whatnot. Thanks for reading! (this isn't j.turgenev)

There's an article about this in today's Press and Journal, for anyone who might be interested in words and pictures!

rick witter, up the shitter.

well that's good news. the way i hear information is filtered through about six people, so it came out garbled as "for the forseeable future". not as garbled as that subsisters guy's face, however.

for the record: never take me seriously. some people just don't get irony/sarcasm. especially that subsisty character, revelling in his own self-importance like a sleazy bigwig. how will dedalus continue now that steven is going anyway?

i didn't think they were weird at all. maybe you're just too plain! i can only make it to your arkade gig if foxface is a no-go.

this is one gig i can stand interesting music harranging everyone about with endless information and reasons to go. like a girl asking you to the prom every day, but then realising she actually scrubs up quite well.

i heard steven dedalus was heading the way of stephen dedalus from 'a portrait of the artist as a young man' by james joyce... a disgusting drunk who continually visits prostitutes, whilst having severe religion-induced guilt over his sins but not being able to do a damned thing about it.

would anyone have any suggestions/spaces/etc for glasgow-based foxface? they are an alt-country three piece in the vein of bonnie prince billy, palace, etc. they recently supported magnolia electic co. they are also very good. any help would be appreciated, especially for the dates 14th/15th of october. thanks!

ah, gravefeast. i hope my night isn't ruined by walking in on sharon lindsay and joe hearty naked, like last year. i wear skeleton skull sunglasses. i wear swan and ann shirt. i wear ladies cardigan. i drink buckfast, and gin, old friends. i'm glad sandy isn't coming, he kicked my dog last week. also, he got really drunk and shouted and swore really loudly at my sister's wedding last year, about incest. so we're not on speaking terms.

i'm sorry mike, but you didn't make it on my kissing list for 2005.

also paul mccartney, and bob geldof. and bono, that fucking fuckhead shitcunt. i hope they all explode into a trillion pieces and go so far into space that they don't even exist as particles.

shut up, i'm listening to kiss.

i downloaded those lovely sound clips. i had visions of waving at cats with blank expressions. i hope these visions continue.

i watched that glow 303 gig from their dressing room (where the balcony used to be). it was a great gig as i remember. i was lucky.. i don't really like them anymore, but i have all their singles that they released on cd (from hope is important until 100 broken windows). if anyone wishes to purchase any of these off me, i'll consider selling them for the right price (generally the more rare ones would be slightly more). i also have a signed drum skin used on the 1998 tour, a signed copy of HII and a signed poster (i was a bit of a fan in those days).

i'd really like to see blastcap, on a burning cross, being forced to sing all the hits of oasis through a pneumatic mechanism in his mouth, whilst young brats from his street upset him by waving around bottles of alcohol he can't get to.

agreed. though i think it was the fact that boards are reasonably unknown and have never played live in america (and hardly even over here), and probably have a small select fanbase in the US that makes it so weird. mogwai on sex in the city was odd, but more understandable.

i think they're one of my favourite bands. i like both albums equally. i think this sums up my feelings on them perfectly: http://pitchforkmedia.com/record-reviews/b/boards-of-canada/music-has-the-right-to-children-reissue.shtml "Boards managed to evoke childhood without seeming cute or twee. It's childhood not as it's lived but as we grown-ups remember it, at least those of us with less-than-fond recollections. The shades of darkness and undercurrents of tension (qualities which came further to the fore on 2002's Geogaddi) accurately reflect the confusion of a time that cannot be neatly summed up with any one feeling or emotion." the weirdest occurance of one of their songs was 'happy cycling' in the background of a scene in six feet under, series 2. al - is that a photo of gordon cole as your avatar? ...I SAID, IS THAT A PHOTO OF GORDON COLE AS YOUR AVATAR?!! YOU'LL HAVE TO SPEAK UP!! aces!

i'm glad we got to play with them before it happened, despite our performance being a bad one. poor old delgados.

yup, i'd agree with october rust. last month i only listened to that and depeche mode. a strange month.

you fucking bunch of masturbating dicks!
