I find it immensly funny to think that some people spaz-out just because they cann't pigeon-hole a certain band. 'Oh no they don't fit into Emo or Hardcore...and somebody called them metal...but i hate metal...therfor i must hate this band also, even though when i listened to them i actually quite liked them...i'm so confused i think my head is goping to explode'. Here's my advice, break-free from the mould, a band does not need to fit into a genre they simlply need to be good. Its called progression, when something cannot be put into previously defined categories then over time a new category name will be created by some scenster somewhere just to help you out. But until then just face the facts that C.O.L are coming to destroy you and leave it at that.

O.K so that website is supposed to be a joke, well they might as well get their facts right. Emo is not about being straight edge, straight-edge is boring you don't get to do any fun stuff. Secondly, baggy pants?!?! wtf...simply not true at all, its tight-jeans all the way. In fact here is exactly what every emo-ite is wearing these days: -tight band t-shirt, any band as long as the lyrics include killing your girlfriend. -Swept to the side 9over one eye hair style, put some effort in and die it black. -tight levi 501's, 3 pairs of these on any self-respecting emo bands ryder list. -converse allstars or old school low-tops. -chain/jaegermeister strap haning from belt to pocket. And there you have it the dress-code to a T. And as for standing motionless at concert, wrong! That is the code for proping up the bar before the gig starts. When the band starts its hardcore dancing all the way, if you don't know what i'm on about here are the names of a few moves: -The ripping out of the heart and holding aloft. -The breakdown motion of the arms, top left to bottom right leading with the elbow on the way up and the hand on the way down. If you wish to find out more, type in slam-dancing in google. So there you go, that dude should get his facts right. But what am i saying Emo doesn't even exist anymore, its a emo-hardcore hybred that is nothing like what Emo actually is, think Rites of Spring and Navio Forge for Emo. Man i wrote athousand word article on this simple fact in the Gaudie and thus have exhausted all my Emo-is dead arguing for the rest of the year, and so am going to give up.

dude i was sitting behind the sound desk and everycool sound being produced by carbon/silicon was coming out of the laptop. Sample after sample, needless to say i left after the second song. I thought the needles fucking rocked though, that's a story to tell the grand-children "we opened for and embarassed Mick Jones"

anyone ever seen that programme 'grumpy old men'?...

surely if your going to split you at least give your fans some respect by coming out and saying something like 'its over we've finally split'. If they have split and this is Daryls way of telling everybody then its pretty sketch.

In my opinion i don't think that the capdown gig gives a lot of brownie points to the aberdeen atmospheres. I just don't understand people who think its alright to turn up just for the headline band, its pretty narrow-minded. The 44s are one of the best live acts i've seen, but apart from about 6 people(4 of which were my flatmes and i)who were gettin into their set, the rest were just standin about like it was a wake. Pretty shitty i reckon.

fookin amazing gig, the 44s were shit-hot as they always are. However, i was dissapointed that me and my flatmates were the only ones skanking away to them. Got talking to lead singer afterwards, sound dude said they might be back in march, can't wait. Although i wouldn't be supprised if they didn't come back for a while, cos whats the point. they had to travel all the way from glasgow and pay for they're meal on the day and they get the most unenthusiastic audience ever. Havw to say the atmosphere at kef for 44s was far better. Didn't get into twofold, but thats cos i was gettin a dose of the McBelly, i'm sure they use human meat. Capdown were absolutely amazing, was fucked afterwards. Best gig of the year in my opinion.

give it to my mate dave on the door

d'you reckon people will still be able to buy tickets at the bassment before the gig?

how fookin good were the skatalites last night at the lemon tree! legends!

i can deal with it

man i need an inbuilt hot-SINGLE-girl-detector...in fact no the perfect one would be an inbuilt hot-single-intelligent-funny-into good music-doesn't do selfharm--isn't a user-girl detector...or maybe i'm way to picky.

hell yes, the amazing power of the tinterweb. This is when i find out that she has got a boyfriend, in fact its probably haigyman, and he's sittin their like "haha what a loser!"

It wouldn't be awkward it would be amazing. Like if all the prince had to do to find cindeers was to post a picture of the crystal shoe on his local music forum. Booked it, packed it, fucked off..

i also realise that i have been workin on a law assignment for 8 hours and thus have lost all clear/coherant thought patterns and thus am starting to lose touch with reality. So your probably right, i eat meat therfore i'm a bastard. Damn me for obeying my natural instincts. Maybe we should all have our teeth filed down as babies so that everyone had to be veggie and had no other choice.

thing is i don't have anything against vegetarians, i jts don't want to be one, so i take offence to peoiple who think that because they'rte views are right and mine are wrong i should change. The whole idea of not eating meat sounds boring, think of all the dishes you can create around meat. So i guess i'd rather be arrogant than bored.

no but the fact that they cannot exist in the wild and depend on the farmer to provide for them does, they are farm animals bred for human consumption.

an the whole arrogance thing is stupid, just because somebody belives they are more musically talented than other people thus decide to form a band to prove it, your arrogant carnivore theory would say he shouldn't be aloud to make music...sound fucked up, is fucked up, probably doesn't make sense.

the thing is a tiger wouldn't think twice about eating me if it were hungry and i was lying bleeding in the middle of the rain-forest, yet i cannot eat i tiger when i am hungry...so i'll have to settle for chickens and cows, theres more of them anyway.

my life in my parents eyes is a twisted web of lies

O.K this happened on wednesday so i guess i should be gettin over it, but i'm not so here goers. I was in 'shulu tother night, last wednesday, and it was gettin towards the end of the night. I saw this abslolute hottie of a girl walk before my eyes. After a while i pluck up the courage and go up to talk to her. We start talkin and things seem pretty cool. At least she didn't twell me to take my face for a shite anyways. Then her mate starts gettin all grumpy and givin me evils, a guy by the way. She says that he's like that when he's drunk. But she has to give him lift home, anyways we dance and go back to the seats. I go away to le tiolet and when i come back i go for a drink. I then decided to talk to her some more, however, i see her leavin with said 'grumpy dude'. Now what the fuck! this pisses me off, i would never ruin a mates night by draggin them away just cos i'm jelous. Or maybe i've gotten the wrong end of the stick. your thoughts...

Oh and Hobbes was NEVER that anal.
