As if you have to ask...

Quik released Nicotine...

PoO - Sluts or Rock Guitar

AW - Morning Lush...

MMW - Mistake, Find Me, Escape...

The list goes on...

point! bring on the sluts! of course!

that's going in...

so far then, the top 13 suggestions are:

alyssa's wish - opal

deadloss superstar - draw the line

psycho a go go - marty mcfly

hookers green - love ballad for a robot

deadloss superstar - wall of skin

the x-certs - into the silence

masamune - silvertipped

my decaying leg - zombies

eric euan - i paphoo

electric tibet - rosebud

black atom - the last day

ian simpson - snowfall

battery living - this is you

ok then. how do we make that line up of songs better?

who's missing and who doesn't deserve to be there?

i am of course trying to start a fight. please take the bait.

for my part, i've only seen battery living once, and find it had to believe they've released the best song by a local band this year.

i'd certainly have eric euan, electric tibet, deadloss and masamune in there. and MDL, that song is fantastic. but... did it come out this year?

p.s. we have four FUDGE JUDGES now. eight more to pick...

sorted then.

what's that newish black atom song with the really cool intro called.?

i think the lyrics say 'jesus christ' somewhere?

all english students i reakon. bunch of fops.

that may well be a very good idea...

comminic... cummon... cominicasun... nope, don't understand.

anyway, sounds good.

YUP. that confused me too.

i've seen you dribble before...

i didn't think they were as good on saturday night as i've seen them...

but why those songs?

hmmm?

when you say "released" do you mean - on a cd in a shop or played at a gig?

on a cd in a shop would cut down the list dramatically. (hopes!)

yeah, we're talking 'appeared on a cd', preferably a self-released ep or demo, but anything on a compilation would qualify. not some badly recorded tat which the bands taped and gave to their mates.

so i'm thinking x-certs, MDL, black atom, deadloss, maple and all the others who've released something this year...

Zombies - My Decaying Leg

was that released this year?

ah, i see. fair dos.

Fudge's SONG OF THE YEAR

Okay, here's how it happens...

You lot, the Aberdeen-Music.com public, suggest the songs. The best local band songs you've heard that HAVE BEEN RELEASED THIS YEAR. Not the best demos, or EPs, but the best individual SONGS.

We'll pick ten songs from your suggestions, and these will comprise the shortlist.

Then we form a jury of TWELVE RIGHTEOUS MEN to debate the top ten. We do this by means of a poll or several. We give you a list of promoters, kids from the scene, band members, media people, blah blah, you get the picture... and you vote for the people you think would represent you best on the panel of judges. The FUDGE JUDGES. Oh yes.

Anyway, that motley crew have to pick the best song by a north-east band released in the year 2003.

It's a laugh, but it's serious, RIGHT? No moaning or bitching.

A band can have a maximum of two songs in the top ten.

Let the 'debate' commence...

so, am i right in thinking fudge have booked for november:

fudgefrenzy sat 8th nov

locoy thing wed 12th nov

???

ha ha ha! paid yr dues! ho ho! with one gig! hadee ha haaa! etc

ask eric euan about due paying. they'll put you straight.

but you've taken the first step to musical paradise

xxx

mexiboy - slots are still free. all goooood.

ok, the state of play looks like this so far:

GOLDBLUM from dundee are playing. sadly that means we have no room for another outtatowner. keep it up though mexiboy, i heard from someone i trust (can't mind who though) that you guys are really good.

CONTRA have been asked but haven't confirmed yet.

and hopefully NERO can play too, but i have to chase that one up. i think dave may have been a little drunk when i stood watching hot hot heat with him at reading. lambo seemed alright though

need more acts though...

ok. the state of play:

USEFUL IDIOT are playing. that's it. at the moment.

soul doubt, i think you should play too if you're up for it. your website was a blank black page though, which was less than inspiring.

if you're up for it, you can play. let me know.

i gave him a bit of paper with the details on in drakes last night, but he'd had a few. someone should remind him...

i'll go next week. i promise.

ok. joe's taking his amp.

undertow are bringing an amp and the kit.

suvara are bringing a bass amp with any luck (or we can use the drakes bass amp)

sorted.

oh, and soundchecks are from 6 til 8. aye.
