to be honest is the ticket price for this gig was 50 pounds it would still sell very well...

I'm getting some sort of intelligence test as well pre interview. What fun! As soon as that interview is finished I start a report and presentation for one the following week... Dave

yes its a little steep for a gig venue... Unless Fishbone are playing, Dave

very sad news about a great Scottish talent. Apart from Peel and Kershaw did any other radio shows play his stuff? Dave

King Tubby and Lee Perry both used thunder and lightning as sound effects on dub records. Tubby also used the sound of a plane taking off as well. Dave

each time it snows in Aberdeen an old guys skis round the 9 holer at Hazlehead. Poor guy has a drip coming off his nose, but as long as he enjoys it... Incidentally the starter for the 9 holer has been there every day this week so you canna swick on the course for a quick game of snow golf! Dave

This should be a great gig - but lets not mention Massive Attack....

drugs, sex, jobs, music and studying

maybe check out Henry Flynt as well http://www.locustmusic.com/henryflynt.html

His stuff can be pretty interesting. Check out the compilation called Maximum Minimalists which has some Reich, Glass and Adams compositions... Of course Alvin Lucier should also be investigated if you like more hardcore minimalism! Dave

I went to Pitmedden Primary School for 3 months. Nice small school but the village was a bit dead...

So was Guild Street more upmarket when The Tivoli was open?

we always wondered why you lived near to the harbour Bill.... Tuba solo piece in the church next Saturday. Dave

Good to see you have some more mature groupies Bill.... Anyone going to the Tuba show this Saturday?

The infant school on Springhill Road. - think twas called Greenfern? The petrol station / car garage on North Anderson Drive, near to the Lang Stracht junction. The abandoned house, offset from Airyhall Road and near to that garden centre - it might be called Airyhall House or something similar?

How about heart surgeons with their own wee van that also sells black puddings? Mobile dentists sounds like a great idea. Well they have mobile libraries, cinemas and banks in rural areas so why not!

Noise can work great as a soundtrack to films. I remember seeing a film specifically cos it had a John Zorn score. I saw a film that had a great noise soundtrack the the Belmont in 2004. It was about a guy whose father directs adult films in their flat. A very strange film. The son escapes his drab East German surroundings and fathers filming by listening to some lovely noise. Anyone remember the name of the film? Dave

Who are the grumpy mannies in string vests Alan? Anyone we know? So do you never sleep or do you just write songs in your sleep? I suppose the days of the travelling open air dentists may come back given the apparent dental crisis in 21 st century Scotland... cheers, Dave

no I think their tap their laptops while stroking their chins...
