  1. I absolutely pissed myself laughing when she said "I bought another Sonic Youth album and it sucks! It's just noise!", then I realised that I was the only person in the cinema laughing and I was getting some reaaaaaaally strange looks. I then had to explain (quietly) to my girlfriend that you really have to have heard a Sonic Youth album to get that joke.

    i did exactly the same thing, that was the best line in the film :popcorn:

    i actually found the character of juno really annoying for the first half of the film, and it was only when she stopped putting on the sort of alternative kid routine and showed glimpses of how sort of scared i suppose she was that I warmed to her. So basically good character building I would say cos they probably made it that way on purpose. Although at the same time I used to hate Jason Lee's character in Mallrats a little bit. o_O perhaps i'm odd

  2. Holy shit, new business makes short-term loss! o_O I thought fanzines were based on like, hard-fought reputations 'n shit, not balking at the first hurdle. It's fair enough if you didn't have the capital or drive to make a go of it, but you can't really condemn the entire enterprise on the experience of one half-assed venture. Besides, 35 copies for a first edition doesn't sound too bad.

    i have absolutely no idea how businesses work, am terribly lazy, have vast sums of money lying all around my house waiting to be spent, and absolutely loads of spare time to fanny around on message boards. I am looking forward to your new zine due out this Summer entitled 'Really Lame Fanzine'

    I too am 'erotic fire' till i die :headbang:

  3. and there, in a nut shell, is the problem...

    it's always "someone elses" job to do it...because most of the people that want something like this, are too lazy to get off their arses and do it themselves.

    "too much hassle for me"

    "I don't have the time"

    "I don't know all the bands"

    kainfitamean?

    i started a zine, worked very, very hard for 2 weeks, advertised it all over this website and went to gigs to try and sell it and sold 35 copies. I lost money doing it and stopped. Fudge used to a fanzine. Kai made an amazing fanzine back in the day and it only lasted one episode as well. there's no reward in doing it.

    That's it in a nutshell. Does anyone actually WANT to get a mention in the local shitrags? Not that I ever expect to, but if they approached me I'd tell them to fuck off on principle. Whenever I see a band get coverage in the local press, I cringe with embarrassment for them. Even worse is getting coverage on North Tonight, it's the automatic kiss of death in terms of credibility. Fuck it, who needs them anyway? Bollocks.

    people who pick and choose their press are retards. i want people to turn up for gigs so utilise all the different media outlets we can to get folk to turn up, especially people who have never heard of us before. 10 easy wishes have been in the evening and p and j several times because when we have something worth putting in a newspaper for normal humans to read we email them.

    Not one band form Aberdeen has made any signifigant impact outside of the North East for about 10 years

    it depends what you mean by significant. the xcerts are making pretty big waves just now, and i would say that copy haho are highly regarded on the underground scene across the uk as well

  4. Due to the inability to pay two players on the same 360 online in said game I am contemplating forking out for another Xbox 360. (Need to buy much flowers for the missus though) Reason being that my sone and me are both keen COD4 players an would love to team up or kill one another, have a clan!

    I remember the time when a toy gun and a park would have been enough to entertain a 10yr old.

    this is an amazing story

  5. it's hardly a wind up is it? it's not as though you're coming out with some outrageous statement that drives the forum into some apocalyptic rage? the Keegan / newcastle thing is in the news and the view you posted originally is a view help by a good proportion of NUFC supporters.

    i support newcastle. i started this thread to see what everyone else would say about it. i think i'm really individual by doing things like this, it makes me different to everyone else on this forum

  6. this forum is boring and it wasn't before. also the people who post on here are easy to wind up (in reference to french disko's question)

    also i have an exam tomorrow and need something to distract me
