Congratulations ma son. Not for winning the league, but for playing Welfare and still having your kneecaps. Fucking savages in that league... Love from CHristy

How about The Welles? That's me and J.J. and Adam from 10EW. A wee bit under-rehearsed but we could pull it off (no giggling at the back). Holler at me ma son. Love from Christy

It's hard enough trying to get three people in the same place at the same time. The Magdalene Cox are a two-piece and still don't get full-band rehearsals. Having said that, the Shaun collaboration could still happen, it just hasn't quite come about yet. To be honest, I rather like the way the songs sound with only one guitar. A second would, I suspect, merely obfuscate the melody. Although there is a second guitar on that wee demo and it sounds alright. I don't know! Leave me alone Love from Christy

I've heard it now. I like it. Yeah, I'd like to hear an organ or sumpin in the chorus to gie it a wee bit more baws. But it was all recorded in a couple hours before I went to work and Adam went back to class, so we couldnae dick around too hard with arrangements. The next demo will be better. Love from Christy

I ain't sure if anyone has already posted a message similar to this - appy polly logies if this is old news... Two brand spanking new songs from The Welles are available at www.purevolume.com/thewelles I havenae heard them yet, the uni computer is being a clunge. However, I'm sure they're fucking ace - they sounded rad when we recorded them at any rate. Love from Christy

kinda like high fidelity style you know

Fuck me, I must have overlooked the unwritten top ten list decorum that doesn't allow two Nick Cave records. It's top ten albums, not top ten favourite artists. So fuck ma boots. Love from Christy

Obviously, I overlooked the fantastic beat combo 'Charlie Barbour Allstars' I made that up Love from Christy

Why is Darren Mackie a Ned? He's from Kemnay, is he not? A teuchtar, surely?

I take back everything I ever said about Darren Mackie. And if the Ned grabs another couple at Tynecastle next week, I might even admit that Steve Paterson was wrong about him. Love from Christy

fuck me, give them some credit. I've been playing in bands for years and would love to play a gig like that. Never heard the band, never even heard of them, but fair play to them. They must be doing sumpin right. Even if it is knowing the right people. Love from Christy

...maths should be a piece of pish. It's the spelling exam you should be worried about Love from Christy
