Well' date=' that was kinda my point. I shouldn't really be bothered but I am. To take your point to its logical conclusion though perhaps we should ask: 1. Who fucking cares about anything posted here? Oops, my bad after all, what is the point of the Wasteland if not to talk about anything and everything no matter how trivial or tangental to music it is? 2. What was the point of replying to my post if you don't actually have any worthwhile opinions to contribute to it? 3. What's the point of having an Aberdeen music website where people can [u']discuss music if its going to be populated by hipper than thou cunts like you?

Was just coming home in the car and heard that the Artic Monkeys had gone down to number 2 in the charts and have been replaced by the latest bland excremental offering from Westlife. I know that I should be old enough to realise that the charts are pretty meaningless these days but "I bet that you look good on the dancefloor" is one of the best singles I've heard in ages and actually felt quite gutted that they hadn't stayed at number one for a second week. I have heard some people say that the Arctic Monkeys are just another product off the NME's hype machine but to be honest I stopped reading NME regularly ages ago as it had gone a bit shit (Empire magazine looks to be going the same way - call me old fashioned but I like long articles and incisive journalism rather than pr pap and blipvert articles dotted with massive pull quotes everywhere that are designed for short attention spans, but anyway, I digress ). I don't care about bands not being "4 real" anymore as that's usually just a pose anyway - all bands suck the demonic cock of the man in order to sell records -all bands that want to be famous that is - so its a redundant acusation. All I care about it whether or not I like a song and damn it I really like this one.

Somebody has to say it... in a complete case of art imitating life my own views come stright from his lyrics... "What a waster, what a fucking waster You pissed it all up the wall" "What a divvy what a fucking div Talking like a moron walking like a spiv"

Lines up the easy targets... Robbie Williams - Tripping, when will people realise that this emperor has no clothes? Jessica Simpson - These Boots - shite cover from a shite film Black Eyed Peas - Don't Lie, just so mediocre. What a completely over-rated band. Saw them at TITP and they were fucking bollocks. Stereophonics - Dakota. Just awful. Inane lyrics. Crazy Frog - Axel F, that joke isn't funny any more Bodyrockers - I Like the Way - It sounded like a glossy deodorant commercial or something they would play on Hollyoaks. It.Was.Just.Pish.

1. Tall people 2. People who try and intimidate you into moving by deliberately elbowing etc - I had one girl at a recent gig who kept scraping me on purpose with her studded wristband so she could try and shove me out of the way. Also the two fat drunken bastards who stood behind me at the Beck gig talking loudly about punching me in the back of the head and the like - one of the pricks later squared up to me after he thumped a girl who wouldn't get out the way and I stepped in - good job a bouncer turfed him out at that point 3. People who go to gigs and spend the entire time waving their mobile in the general direction of the stage in order to snap shit quality videos/stills or broadcast it to their mate who couldn't come. Bad enough when some jammy tall bastard stands in front of you but when he/she then further blocks the view with the mobile aaaargghh! 4. Moshers - look, just fuck off will you. I like to jump about at gigs as much as the next person but there's a limit. Go take up boxing or some ultra violent martial art if you like kicking the shit out of people so much.

ME! Got Tickets for the White Stripes in November too!

Tommy is definitely one I'd maybe class as over praised - I like it, there are some good tunes on it but also a lot of padding thats only there to serve the concept. Its not a patch on "The Who Sell Out" or even "A Quick One" which are littered with moments of pop genius. Somebody else mentioned "Astral Weeks" and I'd have to agree - it sounds rambling and unfocused to my ears. I far prefer "Moondance".

boom and indeed boom! Take my wife ...please!

Hi Bluesxman, I'm a guitarist presently working with other guitarist/bass player for last year or so. We've been doing a lot of home studio recording but are interested in hooking up with a drummer like yourself and some other musicians with a view to a regular practice and the odd gig if we could get a singer. Really for fun rather than profit. We've been knocking out stuff in various styles as we both have failry eclectic tastes. I could email you some tracks if you're interested in finding out more. Cheers

He is the devil! Madeley is a demon - yet another "fevered ego tainting our collective unconsciousness". I would like to see him ritually disembowell himself live on air right after "you say, we pay"

I'd like to have met the late Bill Hicks. I would've loved to have gone off to "squeegee my third eye" with him. Shit, while we're at it, may as well chuck in Lennon, Johnny Cash, Dylan, Noam Chomsky, Jello Biafra, Jimi Hendrix, Jesus, Buddha, Terrance McKenna, Charles Darwin, Albert Einstein and Steven Hawking - break out the mushrooms and head off to a dinner party in the fifth dimension.

Ahh, but would you also wear the crash helmet, goggles and have your little crazy frog knob hanging out while riding your invisible bike? Seriously though, please don't become the Crazy Frog Mr Tim ...you're annoying enough as it is!

Don't thank me - thank the wonders of the world wide web! Like everyone I probably get a dozen allegedly "funny" messages sent to me a day from friends and friends of friends (and so on as all the address lists start to cross-pollinate). Most of them are shite. This one was worth sharing though.

Happy to oblige old bean.

Anyone else seen this? Funny as fuck. http://www.humourr.com/divers/numanumaye.htm

Pish has always been a favourite as in "dinnae talk pish" or "that's just pish" - it just sounds sooo dismissive when said in a Scottish accent - something about those long sybllant s's. Radge was up there too but I see someone beat me to it. Hmm, what else... mawkit or clarty = dirty boak (as in, "he gies me the boak) = to make one feel ill shite = shit chahoorsir (literally, you whore sir) = expression of disbelief or surprise (see also chahooryacuntye) common in Fife. Gadge = a fellow (also gadgie)

I taped it and watched it today - it was like watching a Nerd Olympics crossed with the Orthodontics Oscars. Oy vey! The amount of oral ironmongery on show was quite distressing as it provoked unwanted flashbacks to Primary 7 for me!
