nope. it made me think, before opening it, that perhaps banksy had done some fucking massive ace stencil somewhere in the centre of aberdeen.

that's a different story. i once opened a thread on a message board entitled "free drugs for everyone" literally convinced that it was going to be full of free drugs for everyone!

you were wrong to be so presumptuous.

A statement like that would suggest that you identify genuine artistic talent or political reasoning behind this 'work'?

i was being sarcastic.

i thought the thread title would make it quite clear that my opinion on the graffiti was basically this:

Yeah, I can totally see the similarity between "Ministry of Death MOD" and a 6 foot high dual colour stencil of two coppers kissing. or between "Death R US" and a 20 foot long apache attack helicopter with a pink ribbon tied round the blades.

we agree then, i'm glad.

its hardly banksy though, is it? more some jumped up scally-wag with very little experience with spray paint.

you think so? i really thought it took great influence from banksy's work.

I See Pixels

you see pixels (or grain) because the ISO was set to 1600.

fuck all you cunts who thought it was fake. what are you so paranoid about?

i went to see it today and thoroughly enjoyed it, especially the slide-show with death in vegas. the sound of the slides changing was eerily in time with the music. it was a nice effect.

however, i read through some of the comments left in the guestbook and a lot of people didn't seem to like it.

anybody else see this before they washed it off?

Question - what do you use to power all your pedals?I noticed the long black box next to the EH small stone but i can't make out what it is. I'm looking into powering all my pedals through one box and just wondered what you use.

i use one of these:

PEDAL POWER BANK 9VOLT EFFECTS PEDAL BOARD POWER SUPPLY on eBay Effects Pedals, Accessories, Guitars, Musical Instruments (item 270144709621 end time 17-Jul-07 21:05:39 BST)

so much cheaper than the dunlup ones.

anyone heard it?

a lot of people are moaning about it, but i think it's frickin' sweet! sounds like the go! team or something.

info here:

Hear Bob Dylan Mark Ronson Remix Before Radio Premiere - Uncut.co.uk

picked up a numark dm950 mixer for a bargain yesterday. still in the box and everything!

it's BLOWING my mind.

i picked up a peavey bass cab from captain tom's recently, but i'm thinking i might replace the speakers with something a bit nicer. also got my hands on a boss metalzone and boss turbo distortion. all complete bargains.

was that in glasgow?

that was a good gig!

it was at all tomorrow's parties in minehead. would have liked to go to the glasgow one, though!

Sorry, I should rephrase that to...

"Does anyone know if modest mouse's recent setlist consists of a lot from the lonesome crowded west?"

i saw them in may and it was mostly songs from their 2 recents albums and the classics.

literally, this:

maybe we should have an introductions forum? there seems to be a few people posting threads like this all over the place.

yes, prove it

he can prove it just by saying it. music is subjective, guys.

This album is gid.

WELL gid.

spoken like a true fan.

you guys are so wacky, you're blowing my mind.

arcade fire did a great cover of bob dylan's "a hard rain's gonna fall" into their own song "wake up" two years ago in glasgow. it was fantastic.

mouth and foot more like, am i right?

i'll take the ps2 memory card and the turtles gameboy game, please.

just big cats, really.

stuff like this doesn't surprise me

what bands can we expect to hear tonight?
