RIP, obviously...

oh dear god, that's amazing.

did a tremendous amount of charity work as well did beadle, fair play to him.

we should get a COD4 one of these one the go, absolutely amazing game!!

we should indeed! it's great fun on live, plus i'm much better at it than on halo.

a canadian fanzine which came cover mounted with a 7" split with le fly pan am and godspeed you black emperor. $60ish.

well what did you think? i saw it yesterday and was a bit underwhelmed. i'm not a big fan of musicals but thought this one would be different. my main problem being that it takes so long to move a plot forward through song. if it hadn't been a musical the film would have only lasted 30 minutes.

still, it was very good for what it was. the feel of the film was very familiar to burton fans. gothic and dark yet with a fantasy feel to it all. all the performances were pretty solid with timothy spall being a particular standout as the creepy beadle. some genuine laugh out loud moments too like helena bonham carters seaside song and johnny depps wonderfully depressed facial expressions throughout it. the songs were pretty good too and the cast struck a good balance between solid singing and characterisation.

if you're squeemish then i'd be wary of watching this though. there is a lot of blood, almost to levels previously seen in splatter films like braindead. and the end is particularly gruesome.

so despite the fact that it's a musical i would say it's a good film though if you already don't like musicals then don't expect this to be too different.

i really want to see this. shall maybe purchase it when it's in one of those 3 for 15 dvd sales or something.

Because they're entitled to their point of view, whether you agree with it or not. I think this lot are funny as fuck and I wouldn't waste any energy getting worked up over it. It's interesting that people attack them so venomously though, maybe denying a part of themselves that secretly agrees with them?

Remember chimp, opinions are like arseholes. Everyone's got one, and they all fucking stink.

or maybe they just find them to be a completely abhorrent group who prey on peoples grief to get a reaction and more publicity for their particularly hateful brand of christian extremism.

they should be entitlted to their point of view but they should be prevented from infringing on families grieving and private services. they should also be prevented from inciting hate crimes against any other person or group. free speech and other liberties should only apply to those who accept it for the whole of society.

there's a whole world of difference between saying "i think homosexuality is bad and the bible says it's wrong"(an mere opinion, albeit an old fashioned and unfortunate one) to the vile hateful rhetoric of this 'church'.

probably the best ska-punk band ever.

no, that would be operation ivy. a mere schoolboy error on your part i'm sure.

not to be for havant, now 4-2 liverpool and derby clawed one back in the end. bbc says chris clark scored after a pass was deflected to him and he drove it in from the right side of the box with david james helpless. which sounds unlikely for clark

Meh. I'm from Fraserburgh, as long as they've got fish I'm happy.

Vintage Dedalus when it was:

Steven Rainey

David Officer

Robert Smith

Alan Bain

Easily one of the most brilliant bands I ever did see live.

What followed after Alan and David left was largely pointless and uninspiring though, sadly.

yea but that's not in the last year though is it? which is what this poll is for.

that would be the moorings which has a flat for touring bands above it.

freebird!

here's the link:

Fab Oks Scots V England Friendly (from Evening Times)

wish people would post links when they put up things like this.

fixture should be confirmed in the next couple of weeks they say so still just rumour at this stage.

where'd you hear that? can't find anything on the news sites about it.

be good if it's happening though, not sure if we'll win but we'll give them a good game anyway.

karine polwart is amazing, i'll definitely be trying to get to that one. was gutted her lemon tree gig late last year didn't happen.

you should get no pasaran to support, would work quite well.

jesus christ.

His funeral is being pickited (sp) by those folk who were on louis theroux last year.The "fag haters".

Pretty shocking

where did you read that?

Has anyone actually bought the bastardin' thing off the lass yet, or has this thread just become one big nostalgic circle jerk? :laughing:

i sent her a pm as soon as the thread went up but no reply as yet.

i've got a few ideas to work on including a folk project and i'll try and finally take some fiddle lessons. wouldn't mind doing something loud again at some point but it would be just for fun.

scat are hosting a burns night at the tunnels

You are not wrong!

That was one of those bands that should have been...

i still have a list of band names somewhere that ran to several pages with various horrific band names suggested by ex-one up employees. fisting shit wizards was another particular favourite.

yea scat do regular jam nights in those venues

Scottish Culture and Tradition - Home page 2008

I suggest "John Denver Plane Explosion" as an excellent band name.

it's not bad, i remember a number of ex-one up employees from back in the day were quite taken by the john craven news explosion as a band name.

real shame, he was a talented chap. i know it's not a serious film but i only saw a knights tale recently as i thought it looked shit before but it was actually pretty good fun. he was looking to be a very important actor and his joker looked pretty interesting.
