I'm a bit of a classical music geek. My favourites are the Spring Symphony by Benjamin Britten and The Quickening by James MacMillan. The Barber of Seville is pretty decent too.

Anything sung by Maria Callas, Kathleen Ferrier or Ian Bostridge is ace

I've heard some people let you on to the guest list for as little as a hand job. Suppose it depends on who's playing at the end of the day.

sexual favours do wonders for climbing of the social ladder

People who want 6500 over the valuation for their house.

Sorry man, but the heady days of people tripping over themselves to give you money are long gone.

I remember when I was 15 on a holiday in Texas, we were in the car and stopped at the traffic lights. This guy came up to the car and asked for some money "to get some gas". So my uncle hands over a $20 bill. Then the guy chances his arm and asks us to come round the corner "to help with his flat tyre". My uncle was all for going round and helping him out, but thankfully my Aunt was a bit wiser than him. In her best weegie scoff she said "Aye right, so we will" and we bolted out there. Needless to say she had a rant at my uncle for a while after that.

Great night, I really enjoyed it. Great coffee too, think I will be going back more often to Kilau.

I had quite an eventful Friday in terms of music, what with going to the Aberdeen uni Musician of the Year comp and then sneaking out near the end to check out you guys.

It would have been good if there was some more chairs on the go. I noticed that there were some chairs at the back behind the speakers that were 'land locked' after being surrounded by your equipment. Maybe they could have been moved to the higher area?

Can't wait to see you guys again, cracking night.

next night is on 28th April.

the scooter is now sold.

sweet! I'll try to remember.

yeah, still up for sale. Someone came over to look at it last night, but I haven't heard anything from him. There are a couple of other people interested too.

Hey folks

I am fed up with little street urchins trying to steal my scooter, so I'm going to sell it.

Perfect working order, Tax and MOT'd until Feb 2010.

id buy a vespa

Gumtree Ad now up here

I hate little fuckers who live across the street and attempt to steal my scooter no less than three times over the course of a weekend. THREE TIMES!!!

And of course, they are under 16 so nothing will get done about it.

I give up. Vespa for sale.

Hi there

I haven't received anything, but you should apply through the myspace page: MySpace.com - THE TUNNELS - 102 - Male - UK - www.myspace.com/tunnelsaberdeen it's someone else who organises times for the bands.

the 'faux brick' wallpaper in Subway is winding me up at the moment

Aberdeen Property Leasing are a real shower of bastards, avoid at all costs.

Have a look at the Press and Journal for classified ads for flats, they can be quite cheap.

I love the inventive use of insults: arsecandle, shitclock, ace!

bump

My current gripe is young mothers with prams trying to cross the road who won't bother walking a further couple of yards to the pedestrian crossing.

Oh no, they will walk out between a line of parked cars, pushing the pram in front of them like some kind of shield. o_O

Does the life of your child really mean that little to you? Grrrrr!!!

cheers for the applications folks, we still need more people though.

I've got a gooseneck condenser mic with a wireless rig you could borrow if that is any help

Off the top of my head, I think the Aberdeen venue capacities are this (well, what I've been told by each venue anyway):

Moshulu - 650

Lemon Tree - 600

Tunnel 1 - 360

Drummonds - 350

Tunnel 2 - 350 (?)

Snafu - 350

Moorings - 180 (?)

Cellar 35 - 80

A couple of much smaller venues would work much better than another massive venue, but like I say, I really hope I'm proved wrong.

The capacity of Tunnel 2 is about 200 because of the seating. I'm clearly biased, but Tunnel 2 is a decent place for a new night and for new promoters, as it has an intimate feel. It doesn't need to have a lot of people in it for it to feel busy.

showcase night

Yeah, this will be every monday night, so we need all sorts of different people to come along and play.

Cheers
