a) Why does it appeal to you? Well I listened to a lot of metal* and punk* in my teenage years, then heard lots of Jap noise stuff on Peel, then was into post rock, krautrock, minimalism, experimental gubbins et al so I suppose I like noise because of what I've listened to over the years. But I don't get a lot of noise tracks the first or second time around. But its the same with free jazz!! Maybe the effort required to listen to it attracts me? Or the pure escapism? b) Where/when do you listen to it? At home generally but attend noise gigs sometimes as well. * as I don't listen to punk / hardcore or metal anymore I suppose noise is my metal

Give shows like The Breezeblock on R1 a listen. They plays loads of cool electronica. Apart from that subscribe to The Wire or borrow the free Cds that come with the mag from a mate. Apart from that have a look on various music blogs, where there are no end of recommendations... Dave

There is also a free KYTN talk from Barry Esson at the DCA later this month.

well i did speak to strange man in the toilets last night

I suppose I do like to skim things. I generally get thru the whole magazine in about 4 hours.

The review of year bittie. Josephine Foster mentioned the KC's as one of her gigs of the year. Dave

Anyone else found the Kitchen Cynics mention in the latest Wire magazine? Dave

but the bands manager likened to it Loveless...

well I suppose they are more two tone than ska, but with less politics than other TT bands...

Lets hope the First bus drivers are back working that weekend...

Exp Music Shows - you were asking about new venues Bill. What about the Sea Cadets huts at Fitty or the Carillion, at St Nicholas Kirk? Both are very intersting places... Whats this about burning instruments on the Beach anyway?

looks like Chilli and Graeme will be bootlegging this then...

will this be in the workshop or the gallery of the Peacock?

KW has some good stuff, but he aint half expensive...

all libraries in Aberdeen have maps and more information about the project

Eek a Mouse samples Irish culture and music in a trad pub

I've just proposed the Who's the Daddy idea to MAH from The Breezeblock. Now does anyone know if New Kingdom are playing live again?

Extreme Music from Japan - oh great I find this after I finish my compilation!!

note to self - buy the two Dalek albums at some point in time rather than borrowing the first one from the library on random occasions...

I was going to use something from the Dalek / Faust album but ran out of space. Mogwai have been on enough of my compilations overall.. I totally forgot about Aereogramme! Dave
