  1. Surely on applying for such a course as this you must have people around much better equiped to discern what is needed - music teachers etc..

    I'm pretty sure thats the course where roughly about four hundred people apply every year for thirty spaces, so you'd best get your act together if you want to avoid a year at Aberdeen College (which you do).

  2. I think you just have to remember that every local band will be disillusioned by themselves to some extent. What is good to these shitters is only good in the context of themselves and their friends who 'know' each other, aware of each others capabilites - which all generally amounts to being much more impressed than the listener who takes what you produce as it is, with no previous image of 'you' to go by. Another failure to look objectively at things.

  3. I need some guidance' date=' Im into all sorts of jazz, Branford Marsalis, Wayne Krantz etc can someone point me in the direction of stuff I might like?[/quote']

    Someone showed me a Wayne Krantz cd not long ago. I remember thinking he was amazing + v. aggressive style of playing (which I love).

  4. Boring, forced attempt to be artistic, painful to listen to, NO DYNAMICS, Sonic-Youth influence far too obvious, drummer.is.shite.no.kidding, would make me cry if I saw you live and potentially wreck my night and subsequently leave me in a dazed and desolate state, staring at a wall outside Drummonds, silently asking myself Why?, Why? WHY DID YOU BOTHER?!

  5. Popular culture is a constant evolution. What is shit will be realised as being shit by future generations, like-wise, the positive aspects resonate and acquire heightened meaining. Theres surely no point in worrying about this constant change or even attempting to influence any sort of masses with your own views. I personally have comparitively little in common with popular culture and daresay I never would throughout any period of time. I'd also hasten to add that this 'sub-culture' is the pregnant entity that gives birth to 'underground' and gives meaning to all that isn'tpop.

    In terms of music, I can accept that most peoples' tastes do not progress beyond their fourteenth birthday. Efforts to make unmusical friends agree would be understandably futile, regardless of how much I know they are missing out on.
