It's almost as bad as when Marathon became Snickers. Closely followed by the great Opal Fruit scandal of 2003...

Ash - I think Tim Wheeler sounds *awful* on the last 2/3 albums. His voice was not meant for melodic singing.

Jimmy Eat World - Futures / Biffy Clyro - Infinity Land. Sorry Stephen, I know you said just one.

I want some snow! It's all sunny here in Glasgow, which I guess isn't too bad.

Oh it'll be just like our adventures to the QM and the Barrowlands to see them! I am so excited. You can come stay with me Stephen if you like - I promise not to sleep for the entire time that you're there this time Also, I couldn't get Henry Rollins tickets. There were only single seats left Neil - who are you coming down with?

Who the heck is Scott Sneddon (fame academy) then?

Is it not David Sneddon of Fame Academy Fame?

Anyone would think Iain44s spent every penny on cameras, which he incidently loves more than his girlfriend, or so she suspects

I got a malteaser, which I get every morning, because it's a malteaser advent calander. Which is pretty unexciting, but yummy all the same. My Mum still posts me one too. Hurrah. I'm defying the myth that you are ever too old for an advent calander.

I got my JEW tickets last night. I am so excited. Whoop whoop. Who else is going?

I thought Twofold were pretty boring, and didn't really excite me very much - but each to their own. I enjoyed Capdown, but the highlights of the set by far, for me, were the old songs, and that generally doesn't bode well for any band IMO. I think they're great guys, but from the gig last night, I wouldn't go any see them again any time soon. I thought the 44s were amazing as always. For better than twofold, for me anyway. But i'm so biased it hurts. Thanks for buying tons of merch last night btw everyone. The guys were totally chuffed.

The 44s were indeed fantastic last night. In T-in-the-park stylee the bouncer stopped letting folk into the room with the bands because it was too packed. Bad Dancer were wicked. Suzi looks so small, and then this huge voice comes out of her, and you're like 'wow'. I can't wait until Monday in Aberdeen. Pretty interested to hear what capdown have been doing in the wilderness years.

Muppet Christmas Carol....or Flash Gordon which is always on over the holiday season, and is one of the best films ever.

It was a pretty building until they painted it black...

The shack had it's 4th birthday on thursday night. How ironic. The shack was shit anyway. Long live the garage.

I win! The Glasgow date is the day after my birthday. Yay! I am so excited. I wish they were playing the QM though. But who cares, thank god they're doing a Scottish date. Any idea when tickets go on sale?

No, but you passed out on my mates coat. What a great party. God I suffered yesterday.

If you're who I think you are, you passed out waaay before 4am

The gig was immense. They were doing it in surround sound with speakers all round the venue which was a bit of a head trip - but totally fantastic. What a cool venue - it's an old church for those who haven't been. I thought Julia 13 were wicked. They create such a wall of sound, and their singer has an amazing voice. Aerogramme were outstanding as always, and the venue suited them to a tee. It was great to see the show sold out as well. The new stuff is fab. Cottiers is closing at the end of the year for a 2 year refurb btw. so you won't be able to play there any time soon. And it's Cottiers - not 'the cottier'.

Babe that's rubbish! How long will you be up at home for? Many hugs xx

You've just made my day. On the Turn is a fantastic album. I'd love to see them. And yeah, wilt were thoroughly disappointing.
