sorry douglas' date=' i happen to have missed that there

your bass playing = you wanking up and down your frets while the song falls to pieces (in my humble/tinnitus ridden ears) just sounds like a pile of mince.

it doesnt help when you are out of time, perhaps it was a bad night etc perhaps the (lack of) soundsystem was to blame. but either way its not my problem

i shouldnt have said playing it like a guitar, as when done properly (small enclosed area/mogwai/red sparowes/shellac etc) it can sound awesome.[/quote']

Oooh I thought this had all died.

See the whole problem seems to be that the night you saw us I just got uncharacteristically nervous, plus there were problems with monitors and stuff (as you've said), so I could barely hear Les's guitar and the drum machine, and I certainly couldn't hear Richey's singing - I freely admit I was well out of time through a LOT of that set - but fretwanking? There was a bit in one of our songs, Admonition, that I've since realised sounded rather out of place, but even that was hardly fretwanking. If you think it was, you must hate Flea's bass playing even more than I do!

Fair enough though.

He's the Evelyn Glennie of the Aberdeen Music Scene...

That's uncanny - I just posted something about Eyelyn Glennie on another forum a minute ago.

Well thinking about this I apologise if I seemed a little harsh. I just hope really that this argument can be forgotton about quickly and that it doesn't give people the wrong impression of us as we are not outspoken or agressive people as perhaps has came across here and we always act professionally and respectfully towards venues' date=' promoterrs and other bands. My new years resolution will be to keep my big mouth shut and enjoy what I do without caring about what others think![/quote']

Fuck, I was hoping the three of us would take a joint new year's resolution to be utter cunts all the time.

Without trying to start up the argument again (honestly!), I notice that Maxwell has declined to explain what exactly is so bad about a bassist playing their bass like a guitar, something I was actually far more interested in than whether he likes us or not.

you have never met me or spoken to me' date=' when you get to know me perhaps you can make these personal accusations *ahem*moderator

why question the aberdeen music scene?? this is a scene that you stroxzek girls seem to refuse exists, is it because you prefer to sit on your twatspace.com or aberdeen-music.com rather than go to actual gigs??[/quote']

Personal accusations? I'm on about your general attitdue on here, although from what I've heard you're not very different in real life.

thats cool' date=' that prob means that nobody listens to anything i said about 8 months ago , why dig it up now??[/quote']

oops

i meant to click for identity but seemed to have misplaced my vote

if you like i will' date=' but please promise i dont get a girly reaction (on the boards of course, right as rain to face) like i did from RICHEY J (frontman of stroszxzkeck)

while not getting personal, i think you are talentless, i think your bass playing is terrible, you have no rythmn or groove. others may think you are a genius. as said before by many, my opinion means shit, so i shouldnt need to tell you to get over it[/quote']

Right, now that's fair enough (although several music teachers might disagree with you, but at the same time I can't imagine anyone calling me a genius). But how exactly was "he plays his bass like a guitar" meant to be a criticism? I'm actually interested to know what that's supposed to mean. I mean, I slag off bassists who hold their bass right up to their armpits because it looks ridiculous, so I can hardly complain when you actually explain what you mean.

if you want to have any further discussion' date=' please pm me, it means your childish reactions dont embarrass you any further[/quote']

Unfortunately I stopped caring about looking foolish when I was about 5, so I quite like airing my dirty laundry in public, thank you very much (calling us "girls" is, of course, extremely unchildish).

If your not kidding your a moron

My tongue was indeed residing in my cheek slightly while I was typing that, but I do think that if a girl is trying to lay into you, you have the right to at least give her a good shove. Then if she persists, give her another shove. If she keeps trying to hit you, restrain her until she gives up and realises you're stronger than her and resistance is futile. If it turns out she's actually not that weak after all, it's sheer idiocy to not hit back, although I'd advise going for a non-face shot, ideally to the stomach to wind them. However, this is true for men AND women.

I don't see the point in just randomly starting on someone, but I don't see why you should have to run from someone who's hitting you either, unless you know you're not going to come out on top. What does that solve? They still think it's alright to hit people, and in fact they'll think they must be pretty hard to make someone run from them, so they'll do it again. However, show them that if they start on people randomly they're going to get a fucking surprise, and perhaps they'll see the error of their ways.

chill out.

Good point, I forgot to put xxx or at the end to show I'm not being entirely serious.

i am really pretentious and im the coolest scenester ever

the rest of you are just shit

and richey have a big hug and a kiss from me' date=' the "enemies" i have are generally people who have a gripe with me because i *gasp* said i didnt like their band or something silly like that. sad or what?

good luck on your quest for the big time (glasgow) im sure itll be great for you. you can easily get away with playing a set of the same songs three times a week in glasgow, its a big big place

xxx[/quote']

I think you'll find you have "enemies" because you're an over-opinionated cunt who believes his views are the fucking gospel of the Aberdeen music "scene". For example, we all know by now how much you hate Identity, so it's getting pretty fucking boring hearing you slag them off at EVERY opportunity you get. You don't like them, fair enough. Nobody else REALLY gives a shit though.

How about you come out and say what you actually think of us, rather than snide little comments about us playing "three gigs a week" and other fantastic gems we've heard, like me playing my bass like a guitar (last time I heard someone saying that about a bassist, it was a compliment, so I don't see why you think it's a criticism).

I'm all for equality, so if a girl starts laying into you, I say give her a good thump in the face like you would to a bloke. Or at the very least give her an elbow to the stomach. Obviously this is assuming the girl is actually quite hard.

Although the time my sister tried to hit me at Leeds festival, I just gave her an almighty shove and that soon put a stop to it. But then I wouldn't have had to resort to grabbing her wrist and twisting it anyway cos she's not exactly Mike Tyson.

Simple' date=' Stroszek rules. They should play[/quote']

Hmmm, the name spelt correctly. Very suspicious

Stefan Dennis?

its good fun actually' date='! i forgot to check it for a week and went back and was like eh, so tense!

such friendly competition is always good banter, me and doug strozek have history tho, so if they win, well have a high noon shoutout for winner takes all!! ha[/quote']

I'll give you a little kicking contest Stefan.

Boom boom.

As a punter, I'd say Moorings.

But for playing, I'd say Moshulu, and that's what I voted for.

a 'cool list' just sums up nme magazine

Exactly.

It's fucking playground stuff.

They sounded ace when I heard them practising before us the other week.

Although I heard this track on Radio 1 last night that I thought sounded like them, but it was someone called Duracell.

Still, ridiculously poppy and catchy stuff.

Oooh, I wrote "poopy" there at first.

Shite.

I actually WILL laugh when McCartney kicks the bucket.

If you want a laugh, 'Strangeways' is lyrically the funniest album I've ever heard.[/quote']

Possibly my favourite Smiths song that. Ace lyric, ace tune, ace video!

wow' date=' that is a massive turnaround from the past few days.

I do feel however that this may turn into a vote to find who has found the computers that let you vote more than once.

(the search continues!)[/quote']

Aye, I'm thinking I should have gotten the voters out in force a bit later on.

It'll turn round though

The Tears were superb I thought, although I hear they sound better live than they do on the album. Butler was absolutely immense. Anyway it was enough to get me to dig out Dog man Star, which was enough to make me decide to finally buy the debut too. Which I will do. Eventually.

Radcliff's a sound bloke like. I regret not saying my "I've heard he plays his frets well" pun when Stephen Fretwell came up in discussion

I hated these when I first heard them, but listening to them properly just now, I'm liking them. 1912 is my favourite I think. Apart from it I reckon I prefer the old stuff though But maybe they're just growers.

Not sure if I'm too fond of Wind, but that could just be the recording - it sounds like the song itself could be good.

No wait, when it picks up after about a minute and a half, I like it. The end's a bit naff though, but nothing that can't be fixed relatively easily.

I'll be keeping an eye (ear?) on the progress.

Do you think the reason we're ahead is cos I told about 20 folk to vote?

Queen Adreena were ace, but I was a bit disappointed they never played Pull Me Under, I Adore You or Pretty Polly.

Razorblade Sky, Cold Fish and In Red were absolutely awesome.

They were bollocks. And completely inconsiderate pricks. Sorry.

I gathered that purely from the soundcheck!

"Wayne, Wayne, Wayne..."

Bet THEY wouldn't have lended folk their bass amp

I'm well interested to see what it's actually going to look like.

And if Burnham's gonna be helping with it, I'm sure it will be entertaining at the very least
