I think this was 2007?
Either way, track two, Archeologists, is a fucking belter of a rock song.
it's listed as 2007 /2008 / 2009
it's a re-release.
belter indeed.

Best Result of the Year Arsenal 1 - 2 Hull City
Best Purchase of the year Some sort of vinyl, comics, clothing or beer I presume but nothing springs to mind
YAS MINs of the year That Windass goal that sent Hull to the premiership for the first time, Going on tour, Passing 3rd year uni, Trips out of Aberdeen, the US election
Biggest Dissapointment Not playing enough gigs/writing enough. Having no money. The fact I am still a student. I see a connection between the above. Man City 5- 1 Hull City
Looking forward to 2009 Finishing university for good, playing and promoting and releasing more, buying more records, visiting more places, going to see TNA, the FA Cup, the rumour of Bruce Springsteen and Neil Young at Glasto coming true
I was at that Hull game vs Arsenal... was a great game.

i'll start studying for next year.
-
this is a blast from the past.
-
Seriously thinking of going to this next year. The Interactive workshops and panels are worth the ticket price alone.
book your hotel... NOW
Hilton on 6th st is the best as you can walk to all the venues REALLY easily.
it's MENTAL....HOT... and YOU WALK LIKE A BASTARD

Not all bands are charging a fortune,.
Metallica at the O2 Arena.. 15th Sept are charging fans ONLY 5 !!!
Book now. All proceeds go to charity.
Metallica announce super-cheap London O2 Arena show | News | NME.COM
Metallica + the most business minded band in history...
band are soon out of their record deal. by collecting registrered user details then they can sell the new album direct to them and pocket the extra $$$.
the promoter for Led Zep got 20 million names and addresses of fans just from that gig. a database that size is worth a LOT of $$$s
it all comes down to information which at the end of the day is the most valuable comodity.

been reading since 93/94
It's how i discovered Sunny Day Real Estate and Drugstore and then promptly bored people shitless about the former for 15 years.
tre bon
-
half the tickets have been sold already. people are travelling to this show as they know it'll be better than london or manchester.
to be fair biffy have played EVERY venue in Glasgow on numerous occasions and before this new album did 4 nights at tuts.... so you kind of have to give them their dues.... 10 years on to finally headline their own Arena...
-
The day of reckoning can't be far away now!
I'll hopefully see you at TITP and laugh at you.......
not going.... sorry chief... having a bbq before the following weekend.
-
Ditto yourself Mr Morrison
not yet...... clinging on...!!!!
-
It's a hard life min.
You should move.
Thankfully i'm too old to worry about going out now a days.
The pub does me fine for a few sherries.
However, I then normally end up in Exodus, and am sober within minutes (damn bar).
old man!!!
-
or go to the St Andrews bar in NYC....
-
awesome..
My 30th birthday too.
Leon?
-
which i will almost certainly go to, being that i've seen animal collective already, and apart from de la soul and okkervil river, the other ones that appealed to me were more 'ah, wouldn't mind checking them out' style acts. plus it's like a tenth of the price of the already-reasonably-priced ATP
finally someone talking about Okkervil River.
i "may" be biased though.
atp should be great this year. certainly the great escape has benefitted from atps being on at the same time. lineup is great.

djs never play what people want to hear. At times it can be a truely thankless job. With regards to the building and all in general it's always been a difficult one although the running costs are now dramatically reduced thus meaning that there is more revenue to spend on a full overhaul. I expect it would happen in the summer when the place is quiet (July post T in the Park)

that's sad....

-
This is awesome!!!
But how does it compare to:
The vote is on...
-
in some shape or form i think i did everything in that place at some point.
-
ah Ben & Viv... not seen them for aaaages
-
worth the wait.
-
I've seen one photo of that and boy did i look gay
You and Kenny looked gorgeous of course I can't remember who had it, maybe it was one of those Fudge Monkeys?
Yes Ben thought so!
Think Nikki did. Not sure.

i feel ancient reading this. i gave about 10 years of my life to djing and the likes. missed almost everybody's birthday / christmas / new year but damn it was fun always in parts but sometimes it was insane. think i still have injuries to this day... namely my nose, left hand and right foot.
would love some of the photos.
anyone got any of halloween's ymca debacle as i've never seen any. also any of Rae for obvious reasons.
for those that i've totally lost touch with: rossmorrison *at* mac *dot* com is email and iChat/ AIM etc.
think i'm missing a case of cds somewhere although not sure. still have the minidisc player and cd decks which allowed me to bend pitches and loop various samples etc that were used.
anyone remember Neil Pert (old LJ) diving off the dj booth in the palace and crowd surfing.....?
soo many funny things!!!
4 people will find this funny: "WORK you bastarding piece of shite!"
Marsh - i have a cover shot for you. i'll put it up later
