  1. Just the sort of aggresive response I expected from someone who sits in the Tunnels supping his Tennents' date=' sporting hair the shortest it can be without being a skinhead, and scowling at anyone who dare disturb him while concentrating on another extended quiet part by another post-rock "beauty" merchant

    I have no particular respect for Scissor Sisters other than the respect I have for any band who recognises that pop is for dancing to, for singing along to, for exciting and for inspiring flamboyance. If you want beauty, attend a classical concert. There you will also get actual music, rather than Sigur Ros' non-descript noise[/quote']

    quite harsh i think but you are entitled to that opinion, i love sigur ros but it doesnt mean that because i like it then other people will like it. i suppose if you are soo into a band there is no questions about if they are shite....personally i thought they were amazing and very ambient.

    LIKE THEM OR ILL BREAK YOUR KNEE CAPS!!

  2. all i can say, other than the fact that there may be bands with better ethics and better ideas, maybe a better image or a better genre. what boils down to it is the fact that their stuff sounds damn good and it is very catchy, if not poppy i dare say!

    but in either way it would be great to be party of it, and even if its just a simple electronic tune, isnt it all about how good it sounds and how it effects the people who listen to it?

    can agree with many people who rival this band, but its pretty damn catchy and happy

    and the voice does sound great even if it is emo

  4. Best band in Aberdeen's a bit weak considering they've not played live yet. I do love all the MP3s though' date=' heard the mini abum and i am fairly impressed, but as i say, bands either sink or swim on a proper stage.[/quote']

    yeah youre right there! i heard theres gonna be a gig soon

    lookin forward!

  5. Dunno like.

    I know if I'd been cycling for 20 miles straight, the fear mixed with sudden standing up would feel really odd. Chances are he's overestimated how far to jump and what not.

    Besides, in the background the expressions are very genuine.

  6. Review from the 5 city, Canada Rap Tour

    Tom Green's five-city Ontario rap tour in a yellow school bus ended in hometown Ottawa on Saturday with a performance that involved stuffed animals, Hooters girls, scrambled eggs, shots at ex-wife Drew Barrymore and the crowd-surfing debut of his dad, Richard Green.

    The action-packed spectacle at Barrymore's Music Hall was also a significant musical event that featured the heavy hip-hop beats and sleek scratching of Mike Simpson, one half of the hugely influential production team, the Dust Brothers. They're responsible for landmark albums by the Beastie Boys and Beck.

    Simpson stayed in the background on stage, but the heft of his mesmerizing beats gave weight to Green's material, which was divided between perceptive raps drawn from personal experiences and the goofy, toilet-joke humour he's known for.

    The pair have been working on music in Simpson's L.A. studio for more than a year, but had never played the material live before this week's tour. A CD, Prepare for Impact, is due for release this fall.

    Green, though known as an obnoxious jerk-of-a-comic, actually has a background in rap with Organized Rhyme, the trio he started at Colonel By High School. They were nominated for a 1993 Juno award.

    Green played the Juno track, Check The O.R., as his encore on Saturday, and mentioned performing at Barrymore's back in the O.R. days. There were also hometown shout-outs to Colonel By, U of O, Carleton, Algonquin College and Rogers community television station, where Green first pushed the boundaries of television comedy.

    For more proof of his hip-hop cred, there was his T-shirt. "I am a rapper," it declared across the back.

    It turned out he was a pretty good one, spitting out lyrics and projecting plenty of bug-eyed attitude for the audience and the cameras. The whole tour is being filmed for a DVD.

    The standout track in Saturday's set was Neighbours, a catchy, clever tirade about the celebs he runs into around Hollywood, name-dropping everyone from Paris Hilton to Fred Durst, including actress Drew Barrymore, his wife for five months in 2001.

    "There's my ex-bitch acting all drunk," he sneered in the lyrics, not the first of several signs of bitterness toward Barrymore.

    Another highlight of the set was Science, performed in tinfoil robot costumes to futuristic beats, about what things were like growing up before microwaves were invented.

    During a Beck-flavoured ode to Hooters restaurants (rhyming hooter with loser), two attractive young women in Hooters uniforms were up on stage serving trays of hors d'oeuvres to fans in front of the stage, a manoeuvre that, naturally, required them to lean over.

    The tall, bearded comic in baggy T-shirt and cargo pants performed with a group -- the Keepin' It Real crew -- made up of Louisiana rapper Shawn Anthony, Simpson (DJ EZ Mike) and skateboard champion Jeremy Klein, a cute slacker dude whose performing duties included cooking eggs and tossing stuffed animals in the crowd.

    Why eggs? Still not sure, but it's probably a good thing no one ate them.

    Dozens of plush toys had been purchased at a Salvation Army thrift store -- the price tag still attached in one case - to be distributed to the audience. There were more animals than fans who wanted them.

    "Don't go throwing the teddy bears back," moaned Green. "They're presents from me."

    The audience, though a few bodies short of sold out, was generally co-operative as Green bullied everyone into sitting cross-legged on the floor and remaining silent for five minutes, supposedly in order to set a Guiness world record for silence in a nightclub.

    There was also a special appearance by Green's parents, who had the guts to venture from their safe perch on the upper balcony down to the stage to join their unpredictable son. From there, Green pressured his dad to lay back and "surf" the crowd, a stunt that nearly brought a tear to Green's eye a bit later.

    "Thank you for not dropping my father," he said to the fans at the front of the stage.

    Also called to the stage was their school-bus driver, Shirley, a good-natured, grey-haired woman in a huge pink T-shirt, who declined Green's invitation to surf the crowd.

    All in all, Green delivered a show that was surprisingly good in musical content, but off the scale in entertainment value. It's probably the best creative idea Green has ever had, and it's going to make for a hilarious DVD.

  7. did anyone go and see motley crue last night at the secc?it was an amazing show full of fireworks' date=' strippers, the tittie cam and rock n roll![/quote']

    Sounds like the sort of band that needs to have excessive entertainment to hide their hideous music.

    But then again, if the nipples were stiff, who cares?!

  8. Holy Shit, this band your actually original!!...and from Aberdeen too!?!

    I wish i digged this music as much as I'm sure your fans do because I'd buy an album like this....damn, this might even stretch my musical perception after a few more listens.

    Good luck with the bassist!
