me too...reet looking forward to the pixies...

popped his cloggs... I didn't really "appreciate" his films / style... anyone here think he was " a genius" (why ?) I wish I could be an actor and just play a moody fucker all the time...

brad's "shame" LP is the best LP ever to get pset over burds about... especially the song "butterfly"...

dave, I know Sinky is going to the mission of burma gig, so If you need a fellow chin stroker at the bar, I am sure he'd love to hook up with you. I missed tortoise (last night ? tonight?)..but heard mixed reviews of the london shows...

because a lot of people have windows medai player as their media player ! you try outputting MP3's from WMA without buying some xtra, or spending days trawling for a free / cracked xtra... Just set the encoding to a decent rate (stops vocals and cymbals sounding like imploding crisp packets) and don't put "use only on this PC" in the prefs.

"the large print giveth, and the small print taketh away" : tom waits : 'step right up' (small change)

did you have your tits out ? RAWK.

vot iz ziz ?! eek ! heir betamax haz rumbled me ! he he.

excellent. how about trying to get clutch up when they tour "blast tyrant"...now that would be gig of the year !

you should manage the scorpions...I smell the wind of change... "let them come to us"... with that ethos, I think management is not a good career path for you (no disrespect)

ha ha , scene police, good one...well, at lest we have a credible list we can all stick to now, no more useless wastes of time trying to find places to generate interest, here was me going to try and book a half page in GW too ! "soundgarden play rock fastival"...now that would be worth putting into gardeners weekly. (supported by daisy chainsaw, the lillies, supergrass, the strawberries, peaches, maple (he he).) Hey, I didn't say that the PnJ was accurate and correct...BUt I can think of a few people that came to see maple after reading about us in jim gellatleys' old slot (oo-er).

ha ha , you are good... too rock n roll for me, I better step down... I'd give yourself 10 rock points for mentioning elvis there... hold on...collecting rock points ain't very rock and roll...he he pS, on a serious note, I don't think it's a case of "pleading to get in the paper", it's just a want for a more active roll in the local paper to help / promote the local musicians... you never know, it might (and it's all supposition, but note, some people are a bit more positive in attitude than others) get the band some where! who knows where these things get to, who might see them ?!... don't discount it JUST BECAUSE its local, sure, discount it because the reporting is usually so inacurate it's laughable! I bet the PnJ will jet in their Y's to get a story about and aberdeen band that "makes it" (the needles ?)...so why not try to build something positive to start with, then they can accurately report "we helped them get there"... no harm done, everyone's a winner! but you seem to think that that's "not allowed" ('un rock n roll'), what ARE the forms of advertisement are bands allowed to use to get themselves somewhere ? answer us that , and we'll all shut up. peep one more edit... BIGGER FAN BASE = MORE WORD OF MOUTH = MORE CHANCE OF WORD SPREADDING = A SLOT ON JOOLZ HOLLAND...hey hey ! (ho ho!)

perhaps people should write their own press releases more often then..(they'd even get that wrong, the PnJ, that is).. I can't see the harm in getting more exposure to any thing a local band is doing, after all, who's to say it WON'T help ? (help what ? becoming famous ? how does that work ? ,...ah, lots of people have to be into you, to be faumous....how could that happen ?...I know, get your face in the local papers heaps, then, things might START from there...) But hold on that's "un rock and roll" (?!). ho ho, I pissed myself. un rock and roll... sheesh

I think a few people underestimate the distribution of the PnJ... or perhaps they don't, and they are vocalising the elitist, snobbery that "we don't need a plebs paper"... I've had a few occasions when I've been supprised at the breadth of readership, with people coming up to me and commenting stuff to me, I'm not going to tell you the reason for people talking to me because of the PnJ...needless to say, thanks for the props on my clematis (wink wink)

grant, there is...just trust me, there is everything wrong with poison... if I hear you start the resurgence of cock rock, I'll be round your house with my Napalm Death T-shirt on...ready to take you an a secret tour...wink wink... he he

I saw the cover of the new LP in one up the other day.. I cracked a fat... there are some odd looking people on that cover...gene "ooh, I need my make up" simmons...nice. I can only dread that poison, motly crew, warant and all those other cock rockers are going to make a comeback soon (my sister will be breaking out the old leather n lace, demin and rawhide...oh, hold on, she never got rid of it !)... he he (sorry sis)

did you pay cash for the guitar ? if you put it on a credit card, you might be covered by their insurance (sounds like it was over 100 quid !)... You might also want to spread the word a bit further, if the theif has a brain, I am sure he'll / she'll be going south with it to sell it... try notifying 2nd hand shops in dundee etc... sorry about the loss man ... Al Nero is still gutted about his Les Paul.

zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz....*huh ?...wah ? ...oh*...zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

then go buy the entire pearl jam back catalogue and wake up tomorrow saying "ah, oh yeah...creed are just rip off merchants, with no talent, only a talent for churning out piss poor imitations of this fantastic band"... he he

A nice feature about the shaping up and promotion of scottish music in the UK, talking about the future "cool" scottish bands, the aarticle started, and ended with a trip to a needles gig in glasgow... well done boys!... Here's hoping something good happens out of all thos franz ferdinan hype... Scotland, the new Wales...ho ho

it's bands like that (and "creed") that make me wince...it's got nothing to do with eliteism, or musical snobbery, it's an insult as they are just hijacking a genre, watering it down and turning it into a souless money making excersise. I think we've had a few discussions about influnce / dilution..but these monkeys take the biscuit. (and those pearl jam wannabee's "creed".)

an interview about the new LP and "other stuff"... tool webcast

that's this weeks oxymoron for sure dell... interesting, but dull... wow.

yeah, brilliant stuff, although the last LP was a bit "up their own arses", heaps of "unnamed songs", as the "listener should decide on the tile from the mood, feelings generated when listening to the experience" (bollox, call the song "song about bin bags" next !)... They supported GYBE! when they played the lemon tree...fantastic gig pan am sigur ros GYBE! all under one roof...in da deen ! If anything, check out : Ny Batteri (the EP) or the first LP : gtis Byrjun nice nod Hog...
