five-fifty.

you'd better believe it. i'm nothing if not kind to you.

If I correctly guess the lossmaking involved with this years Fudge Awards, do I get a free ticket??

confluffed

Weirdest word ever....?!

I see trouble ahead of this scene points crap.

or is this really it for good?

Yes, it is.

Soon the assets of the business, PA and all that, will be taken to pay off and close down the business.

I don't think he actually is gay. Maybe he's just misunderstood.

*raises eyebrow*

Snappy dresser?

What are you' date=' homophobic?![/quote']

Not even slightly. But it's somewhat unusual to wish for someone to be gay, unless they are cracking onto you or something and you wish they weren't.

Would it not hurt to walk on concrete (paws or no)? Nah' date=' you have pads on yer paws.[/b']

What would you do all day? lick your dog-baws? Sleep.

How good does dog food taste? Pretty good, actually. Like cereal with corned beef in it. I had a dog biscuit addiction years ago, some are quite tasty.

Would you bite a kids face off? Maybe. Likely just bare my teeth and growl.

Would you shag peoples legs / anything? Cute lady dogs?

Would it be better seeing everything in brown-o-vision? Probably not.

Would you swap it for your life????? Nah, thanks.

Woof woof.

how come drakes closed but actually didnt

This is more of a private party really, bring your own alky. The business has started to close down and liquidate, but this and the last gig were do-able on a private function basis, so the good Drakes folks decided to let them go ahead. After this the onslaught of liquidation follows, so there are no further opportunities for this, so tonight will be THE FINAL EVER gig at Dr Drakes. Soon the keys get handed back to the landlords and all that garb, so this is it folks.

You wish your brother was gay??

By the way Rob' date=' what the hell happened to you? People aren't supposed to have screws in their body, unless they are Robocop.[/quote']

Well, I busted up both ankles badly when I was 14. I worked on a farm, and was on the top of a lorry load of round bales that were being sold, and my friend who was driving the bale handler managed to knock me off the top of the load onto the concrete. I landed square on my feet, unfortunately. I have two screws holding the right one together and four in the left. And lots of glue!

Maybe I am Robocop

What sort of things?

This all seems to be adding up to a really disappointing gig! What did everyone else you were with make of it?

Well, some dude was getting too violent in the pit I guess, so he went on a big tirade over that, saying he would go down there and fight him, etc, etc. It was a good 5-10 minute debate and the old "I don't want anyone to get hurt" lines. Then again later with some speeded up girl the same kinda thing. Fuck knows what the security folks were doing to be honest.

Everyone else with me was there to see Mad Sin really, but the general concensus was average, bit samey. Mant reckoned that in Glasgow the night before Mad Sin were better than Lars and the boys.

I also thought the guy Gordie was kind pointless, strutting round and adding the occasional backing vox. Hey hey.

amusingly' date=' of course, maxi had already won free entry to this gig, yet still bought a ticket.

is he:

a) forgetful enough to do this.

b) concerned only with doing the right thing, and ensuring the fudge awards crawl towards breakeven point.

c) drunk. probably VERY drunk.

No, he gifted it to me....

When I was in halls in my first year of Uni I was with 2 Singaporians who were in their 3rd year, 1 Irishman in his 3rd year, 1 Glasgae 30-something in his 4th year and bizarrely one of my older sisters' friends in his 4th year. Fucked up, huh? I just went out lots... Maybe that's why they do it, they figure if there's no-one in your flat you want to hang out with then you're forced to go out and have a blast!

was that the one with the stage invasion? and Nicky Garret climbing up on to the air vents to force a ''crucified'' position.

If so' date=' then that was my all time gig highlight, that night ROCKED.[/quote']

Yes boss, I think it was! It was the best night in the place I've ever had, blindingly ace gig.

oh god' date=' really? lol[/quote']

Yes, really.

I also lost count of the number of times he threatened to walk off the stage for various things. Began to wish he just would!

He's also the most American-sounding Danish/Viking I've ever heard.

Trisha or Rikki Lake... It's hard to say which one you want to drown first!

I find when I watch them my brain starts to ooze out my ears and tries to make an escape from their voices and patronisation.

I'd go along to Peter and the Test Tube Babies. think a few other members of Filthpact/Karloff etc would also be interested.

You'd better believe it.

haha i don't know about marrying him... but you know' date=' i've seen worse lol. And yeah "skunx" across your forehead... as long as he's happy i suppose. Personally i think he's become a bit of a sexist twat these days. But each to their own..[/quote']

Well, he made it a big deal to change it to "spkunx" or something, because Psychobillies are the new punk or something...

Also a long, long, loooong rant about hippies and their possible similarities to Hitler.

I think their last KEF/Lava gig was the best one I've been to there. Charlie Harper is a legend...

Brilliant, see if I can't get me a guestlist slot...

Were Ant and Anderson there as I had thought?

Yes, but Anderson and his mate couldn't get tickets so headed through to Glasgow for their Green Day gig tonight. Mant came back with us, generally complained most of the time, and whined when "Machine Gun Etiquette" happened to have played through and all the way back up to track 4 and was still on when he awoke, despite every fucker in the car having fallen asleep and it being somewhat difficult for me to rake through a CD wallet for another CD while driving at 90mph odd and concentrating on staying alert/awake.

yeah my mate saw lars in exeter and said he wasn't that amazed by the performance. hmmm

Why is it that most girls want to bed/marry him?? I thought he was quite an ugly fucker. Reeeeeeally bad facial tattoos as well. Funny how no-one noticed him much until the whole Rancid thing... Didn't see many girls falling at his feet when he used to play with UK Subs!

aye aye rob

i've one handpainted cover left from an old release' date=' which you can have, and i'll sort you a compilation if you want?[/quote']

Bonzer!

Don't fret about the artwork too much, but if you've got some kickin aboot that's cool. It's the sonic assualt I'm primarily after!

I'm doing the sound duties for the gig, so I'll see you when you come down guv'nor.

I'm listening to early years Soundgarden at the moment, and I'm thinking about what a great drum sound their releases always had, and in particular the talent of Matt Cameron on the skins. He's probably the only drummer who I listen to and really makes me want to try and learn to play. You can hear every little and subtle touch he uses on the records, and some of his rhythms and techniques sound amazing to me. He's not blindingly fast like some drummers, but he's so solid and and the technicality behind what he's playing comes through. The mental and sonic picture I have of him is a lot like that of local tub-thumper Len Atom...

Any opinions on Mr Cameron? Any other drummers who do this for you??

Of course' date=' this is coming from a band whose 1989 opus, Paul's Boutique (Capitol), championed the joys of assaulting passers-by with raw eggs.[/quote']

Egg raid on Mojo...
