2 please. If anyone knows anybody with even the most tedious of links to tickets, then give me a shout. Cheers!

Due to the simple fact that Liverpool are playing in the Champions League Final, I won't be seeing Battles in Glasgow. Just selling them for face value (10 each) so if you're thinking of heading down for it, give me a shout.

So it goes.

Eh? What'd I do? I don't understand or remember...

I might take one if that's alright. My mate in Glasgow is wanting one.

I think that I've managed to read all of the sci-fi stuff now with the exception of Look To Windward, and it's usually consistently better than the normal fiction he writes. I haven't read all of the Iain Banks stuff, but there are some shockingly poor books in there. Dead Air is amongst the worst books I have ever read, and The Business was really disappointing. I'm not looking forward to the new one. Having said that, Banks has written some of my favourite books. As far as sci fi goes... The Algebraist, Excession, and Against A Dark Background. Regular Fiction... The Wasp Factory, Walking On Glass, The Crow Road, and The Bridge. All fantastic books. I really love the structure of his novels as well. Three or four storylines that seem to have nothing to do with each other, that eventually come together in the end.

Are the 2004 releases the Special Editions though?

Right, I've been looking through all sorts of weird and wonderful reviews of the original Star Wars trilogy on Dvd, but I really am none the wiser. Can anyone advise at all? I'm looking for as close to the original cinema release as possible. ESPECIALLY no altered shots. I can handle all of the sound and picture quality being redone, but I hate the idea of actual new footage. I have noticed that the new release has the original cinematic release with absolutely nothing done to it, but is it any good at all? Is it ok sound and picture quality? If anyone has a copy of this or the DVD boxsets, please let me know what you think of them. Cheers.

I'd regularly put sexyback on a playlist with Genghis Tron. Let's see a 12 year old girl listen to that!

I've got my tickets for the ABC. It's going to be awesome.

Excellent. I know a few other people that might be heading down as well. Should be a good few people down there.

Those dates are wrong. I think I got them from Drowned in Sound... Bastards.

Is anyone going to this? I'm sure that there must be at least one or two people heading down!

Has this actually worked for anyone? Is it just for any bank charges at all???

Haven't heard the album but I would have gone along if it wasn't so ridiculously expensive.

You do realise that Ed O'Brien plays guitar in Radiohead, right? I think you're looking for Phil Selway...

Holy shit, that would be amazing. Free you say? How much is it to get to Paris nowadays? I'm going to search the internet...

I always loved the short for the John Fashanu programme. It was the sinister voice that did it... "John Fashanu... John Fashanu... John Fashanu... John Fashanu..."

I've been bored senseless by it to be honest... Where's the fury?

i have battle hymns sitting in front of me. i listened to it when i was 16. that was a great album... everything after it was fucking rubbish. Fact.

Errrrr... Ok. I might just be pedantic like this but I have to correct you. They haven't played Stereodee in years. The song they played was "We're No Here" from Mr. Beast. They also definitely played Helicon 1. And it's "I Am Not Batman." You should check out the unofficial Mogwai site Bright Light! Pretty much all of their set lists so you can see what they have been playing. They do play Helicon 2 sometimes and they've also started playing Stanley Kubrick again. But they'll never play I Am Not Batman again. Can you tell that I like Mogwai? But how shit were De Rosa?

You could move this gig to any date and time and I'd still be there. There's no way any reasonable person could ever miss this.

You shut it, Yousef! What you gonna do, eh? x

and a lot more wasted.
