Best. Episode. EVER!! The animation is totally awesome in that episode!

Hurrah!

The worst local band I have seen were the Diaretics (sp?)... we had the misfortune to play a gig with them a year or so ago, and Jesus Christ... o_O Fair enough, I see a lot of bands who aren't playing music which I like, but I can still appreciate them as being good at what they do, but they were just plain shit.

Glad to see we're so popular

Even if they are Peter Stringfellow or Michael Bolton?

But surely you don't condone people going about looking like Peter Stringfellow or Michael Bolton?! Isn't it better to have a tad of self-respect and just cut it off when it goes at the front? Erm... hypothetically of course...

Sounds good as long as you promise me you'll play some Megadeth. Preferably Hangar 18. But I'm not in charge so don't take my word for it.

And I am indeed 12!

It was ace. Do people do this in Aberdeen? I'd be well up for giving it a go

As long as you don't play any Manowar then I'm for it

Happy new year!! Hope everyone partied as hard as me Which, really, has been quite hard over this festive period

Quiet you!

Santa stole them and used them to make a big massive sack for everybody's presents! Old bastard.

My brother?! Oh, you mean the other Daniel Johnston. My one's better.

I got yer text Bob, but I've nae done nowt... Did you really mean the Lemon Tree gig by the way, I thought I'd already done that one? I've got so many of your gigs kicking around that I can't tell what's what... the curse of never labelling anything... I know I defintiely have both of your hi-on Maiden support slots through the soundboard, I'll try and chuck them together on a cd over the holidays.

In this time of festive joy I'd just like to wish all atom fans a very metal Christmas You all rock, come and see us next year when we actually sort some gigs out

Boo hiss!

I'm with Erskine on this one.

Alas, I have much to do for a presentation tomorrow and an entire novel to read by 9AM (unlikely that I'll manage to be honest). But the best of Jolly Old British luck what!

It's giving up... it randomly turns itself off while it's recording which is pretty fucking annoying. And if you move it to check that it's still on then you seem to get skips in the recording And the mic is a stereo mic but only half of it seems to work now. My Therapy recording came out with the very start in stereo, then a big crackle on one channel then only on the left for the rest of the recording... So methinks I need new gear. Still, given the number of recordings it has done it's been well worth the money

I got mine ages ago. Which doesn't make it any less exciting! Methinks I need some new bootlegging equipment

Has anyone heard anything about this at all on UK TV or radio? I haven't. If it was Fran from Travis or one of Busted I bet you it would have been all over the news. Bastards.

This is some of the worst news ever. I'm utterly sickened. May he be forever remembered as a true metal legend.
