  1. Report on the 'government of the living dead' over at the BBC

    "No matter how many of the zombies you kill, and no matter how gory their end, they just keep on coming.

    And take your eye off them for a moment and they eat you alive.

    A lesson for all of us perhaps. "

    And around 6 months after that....

    (That last one kind of makes a nonsense of my whole-avoid-myspace-cos-it's-Fox thing....you'll understand when you see it)

  2. actually better guitarists make appearances at the stoney folk festival
    Bullshit! Come and see him and then say that ;)

    I have to go with Mac on this one, although it is nice to see a lad speaking up for his old man.

    Apart from the guitar issue, there's also the advantage of not having to be at stoney folk festival. The combination of neds, fairmers, and mearns hippies in stoney is no fun.

  3. Mac atom has already posted about this gig over at the all music forum.

    Even if you aren't usually into bluesy stuff, if you're a guitarist this isn't a gig you want to miss.

    From Paul's site:

    'The Globe'

    13 North Silver St., Aberdeen

    Thursday, 30th June 2005, 9pm

    Phone: 01224 624258

    And this

    is the link to the allmusic thread.

    The Globe hasn't charged entrance when I've been in the past.

    I'm told it's also Paul's birthday so it should be a jape.

  4. I've never seen anyone do an atrocious version of stairway to heaven with an AK47...

    Ahh, but the really bad stairway tactic tends to be a close-range assault, typically a confined space such as a bedroom, garage, ormusic shop.

    Not what you'd use an AK for. And not what you should use a Fender for, either. A more suitable tool for the purpose can be bought from Grattan's.

    The AK is more unforgiving than a Fender, in that it does not depend on tone-deafness or overconfidence in one's own abilities to inflict serious damage on the perpetrator of violence in a small space.

  5. 6 inch nails put in diagonally in the trunk. You can hammer them in when no-ones about. Too short notice for ceramic spikes (which can't be detected by metal detectors). Make sure you put up a warning, though, cos the saws have serious kickback, and people are likely to look for you if anyone gets injured.

  6. iRivers are cheaper than iPods and considerably less stupid. You don't have to spend hours ripping wmas to mp3s if you don't want to pay 99p a tune- and they can handle ogg vorbis files, as well as coming with a radio.

    Also they don't have all those built in intellectual property rubbish restrictions.

    They got the best ranking in the Slashdot review (sometime last year), plus they're shiny and black.
