If i want to listen to something before i buy it, i'll go on Spotify. I don't download music unless the artist responsible for said music is giving it away for free and even then if it's available to buy, i'll buy it. I try and get to gigs if money will allow as well and i would rather buy straight from the band themselves than from a cd shop if possible.

This. Really hate this inherent right that many believe they have to do whatever they like with music, simply because they're a 'fan'. And I use that word very lightly.

A bit of an extreme point of view, which I only agree with in part, but when there's so many bands willingly giving their music away for free in a climate where sales are down, I'm not fully convinced. A lot of bands are willing to document their thoughts on the digital age, and a lot of bands (the ones I tend to listen anyway) are fine with free music, and are more keen to see more people go to their shows and by their merch etc.

I still buy music anyway, and as a result, because of the try-before-you-buy nature of file sharing, I buy way more music than I would do if I couldn't sample something first. Reacting against it is counter productive if anything.

There's a growing number of communities online which are focussing on (legitimately) free music downloads which pretty much proves that this particular bloggers point isn't as black and white as it used to be.

I don't think I can think of one band who are 'more keen' for people to go to their shows and buy merch than pay for their records, being that it's not really either/or. Totally different revenue streams that go towards covering totally different expenses, for the most part. For touring bands up to a certain level, neither form of income will be going into their own pocket.

Also, there's a HUGE difference between legitimately free music - which nobody can really have a problem with seeing as it's sanctioned by those who make it, or are responsible for it - and taking it upon yourself to take someone else's work, compress it and give it away without so much as asking.

Haven't recorded with Iain, but I can still safely say that he'll be the only decent option available to you in the city. Give him a shout!

This is incredible.

Top 10 Anti-Gay Politicians Caught Being Gay: Anti-Gay Activists Out of The Closet | Ranker - A World of Lists

Shame that he felt compelled to kill himself and it does raise many questions, however, It also raises questions that he knew that commiting homosexual acts was morally wrong.., or else he wouldnt have giving a shi*..

Are you joking?

I guess such a question might be raised (I mean, you've raised it yourself...) but I'd like to think that the answer from any remotely intelligent being would be 'what a bullshit question'.

Also... "committing (sic) homosexual acts..." - slightly offensive wording, but I'll give you the benefit of the doubt on that one.

No-offence but if you dont want people to know your gay then why have footage at-all. Pretty harsh it was put online but come on, not the end of the world really, unless of course you die as a result which this guy did, so yeah it is a bit end of the world but not really to normal people who suffer setbacks. Are you that sensitive that you cant take a setback, like I say no offence, Im not anti-gay or anything but it's just not that big a deal to have some ego kill themselves as they see themselves in so big a light that having footage out online is a life ender. Fuck him, Ive no sympathy for anyone like this. Try wandering down to sick kids hospital if life is so fucking bad, take a stroll and look at all the kids not going to make it to the age of 5 then weigh that up against your life shattering ordeal.

I'm going to take the time that this was posted as evidence that you were maybe a littttttle bit drunk when writing this.

If I'm wrong, then 'whoa'.

'Rip Off' implies that the 'copier' has heard the original. No offence, but I'm pretty sure that's not the case.

But yeah, song in sounding-like-other-song shocker!

I've heard of some guy, Minge Tickler or something...

EDIT, och alright then, these guys are part of/affiliated with C&C music at the same building, that's where the Jimmy Egypt repair shop is as well, and he is well rated. FLYNN AMPS - CUSTOM AMPLIFICATION - Glasgow Guitar Amplifier Repairs - Glasgow Keyboard Repairs - Glasgow Pro Audio Servicing

Not the local area though.

Yeah we've put another one of our amps into C&C before and it was great. This amp is up North though and as I don't drive, I'm not too into making a train journey with an amp! Thanks anyway though dude.

Hi there,

I'm looking for recommendations for guitar amplifier servicing in the local area!

Thanks in advance.

I think I probably have two spare.

I will very happily buy them off you for myself and HeinzHines!!!

Please someone sell me a ticket! Will even consider paying above face value!

PLEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAASSSSSSSSSSSEEEEEEE

Hi!!! I'll definitely take one or both of them if the original poster doesn't want both/either.

New Swans album is really, really ace.

Does anyone know where I can get a ticket for this? It COMPLETELY slipped my mind, went online to buy some this morning and can't find any.

Please help! I'll burst into tears if I can't go :down::down:

After quite a few listens, I don't really like it and I'm not sure why - absolutely loved Microcastle. It might be because in the interim I've seen both Deerhunter and Atlas Sound play GOD AWFUL shows.

I'm not going to give up on it just yet, though!

Any idea of stage times?

(ROUGHLY) First band on at 9pm-ish, last band on at 22:30-ish... Hope this helps!

Hello Richard! How many pounds will this be?

It'll be a fiver, might work out some sort of student discount but not sure at this moment! x

The Wikipedia page for Stonehaven has the following under the 'Notable People' section -

"Stuart McIntosh, guitarist with Copy Haho, is from the town."

Arf.

Stonehaven - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Someone else pointed that out to me a week or two ago, LOL.

Any idea when the first band are on? Should be along to this at some point but may not make it until later on.

Around 21:00 I'd imagine dude!

can I DJ this?!

tomorrowtomorrowtomorrow!

Of course you would. I'm not saying there was, just a bit inconsiderate is all. Fuck it, i'm not having a go but I remember it happened last time they played too and I thought it was a bit off so i'm just pointing it out. Apologies.

Anyway, point of the thread is to promote the gig so I urge everyone to go.

Well, when you ask your friend, who is called Kuda, to play with you, and the other times you've seen him/played with him he's gone under that name, it's hardly inconsiderate to bill him as such when nothing to the contrary has been said!

But yeah, no arguments come to the gig etc!

The refusal in this thread to remember that the band playing isn't called Kuda is quite funny/ridiculous. Kuda is one guy from the group no? Pretty tight on the rest of the band that coz they're ace and should get the recognition.

Mate, it was a slip of the tongue - and I didn't actually know it wasn't to be billed as 'Kuda' until posters, this thread, etc, had been done! In fact, it was pointed out for the first time in this very thread! You'd have to be batshit mental to think that any disrespect was intended/present.

i can't get into town til 10.30. how much am i going to miss?

You'll definitely see copy haho! Maybe a bit of Kuda too depending on things running a bit late.

Not long now! Are there any questions?
