  1. Hah...... I don`t know.. You`d be surprised.... Mr Frosty is there still a folk scene in Aberdeen.....?
  2. Aww.... I was looking forward to some Mandalin action...
  3. For fans of.... Faraquet / Fugazi / Far / One Line Drawing / The X-Certs / Biffy Clyro Great Songwriting and to say the least the most under-rated band out there. New album to be recorded by J Robbins at "Inner Ear Studios" - Shockaroo
  4. Not if it was to support the levellers....
  5. Err... They played Lava as support to the RX Bandits They rock like a mofo

    the shins

    aint they on Sub Pop.... or am I getting confused with Iron & Wine
  8. Personal web space looks more professional. You have to walk the walk and talk the talk in the music industry. It`s all a big game to be honest. Get in, make your mark and get out whilst the going is good. Organisation/Professionalism/Hard Work......... all essential to succeed.
  9. No Comply are female fronted and are actually really good live. They suck on record however. Save Ferris were one of the best female fronted "Ska" bands.... Although then you get into The Selector and the more "Trad Ska" scene of the early 80s. Then there is the Original Ska from rocksteady etc from Jamaica in the 1960s.... I`m almost certain but "Ska" came from an almalgamation of Rocksteady and Reggae with a more dancehall feel. It`s all Jazz originally.... Proper Bo!
  10. That HIM cover is absolutely ancient It came out years ago....
  11. Stapleton - Best Band In Scotland (in my Opinion) Yes indeed.. They are to tour and shall be in Aberdeen hopefully around the last full weekend in April.... Ace.... Only took me almost a year to book them....
  12. Thoughts....?? It has a Christiansen Track on it.
  13. Isn`t Kenny from Screaming Nebraska keen to source a cellist for some tracks..... Posts as "Kenny" and is playing Wednesday in Drakes.....
  14. Also has Shouting Myke full page and Aconite Thrill 2 page article.... Wish they`d played Aberdeen in the past year..... Hiding With Girls are supporting Christiansen. Tickets are on sale you know..
  15. Actually it`s June 28th Ignite Play in Glasgow....
  16. Hiding With Girls are the main support for Christiansen. Couple that with me finding out that Ignite are playing the Barfly on the 28th April then it just gets better and better. Ripper!
  17. From The NME: Former KLF man and renowned art terrorist BILL DRUMMOND has turned to soup for his next project. Drummond, who once burnt 1 million in cash on a Scottish island, will spend a week in Northern Ireland in May preparing soup. The stunt is part of Drummonds The Soup Line, and will run as part of Belfasts Cathedral Quarter Arts Festival from April 30 to May 5. "In May 1998, Bill made soup for people in a house in Belfast," said Sarah Hughes, a festival spokesperson. "In January 2003 he made soup for a people in a house in Nottingham. He's now taken a map of the British Isles and drawn a line across it - right through Belfast and Nottingham - and called it The Soup Line. "Anybody living on the line is welcome to invite him to their home and have him make soup for their family and close friends." The line passes through some curious towns, including Inch Burnfoot in Donegal and Portavogie outside of Belfast. In 2002, Drummond launched the silent protest playing cards, which were used as a silent call for peace. Most notoriously, in 1994 he and fellow KLF cohort Jimmy Cauty burnt 1 million in new banknotes on the Scottish island of Jura.
  18. Ripper.... Will dig out the Neds T shirt..... Sadly wearing a Carter USM t shirt to one of Jim`s gig`d be a bad idea.....although I do have about 6 or 7
  19. The RHCP were mighty... now they are a little bit shitey.... MOR drivel

    What RAm spec is in it..? and what clock speed of processor
  22. I got offered Shai Hulud.. Didn`t think anybody`d be interested.
  23. Err.. i think you may be missing the point. This whole thing "Best Of" is just the record company trying to force Axl`s hand. Basically the deal is that GnR still have another album to release. Thus by the record company (Universal/Vivendi) releasing this it means that they can drop GnR without having to pay a massive compensation bill. I wouldn`t be surprised if this happened down the line. The record company will probably be paying a retainer per year to Axl until the album comes out. Sales of GnR albums are at the highest that they have been since the band split and thus it makes business sence for the record company to capitalise before the trend shifts.
  24. Oh yeah... How dumb am I?
