You're a moron.

Certainly beats Elbow. Caribou and Junior Boys on one bill! That would have been swell.

Agreed, what's more, word has it there will be two bloody handsome devils flyering for them.

Mercury Rev - Snowflake Midnight

He can go on a witness protection programme. Go on call the feds! Snitching is cool.

TV On the Radio - Dear Science Roxy Music - Stranded The Week That Was - The Weeks That Was

Rough stage times?

The Yiddish Policemen's Union by Michael Chabon.

That was funny, never really given it a chance when I've seen it MTV2 before.

How much is it on the door?

I opted for the Waterboys, as there was an old wifey in the back of the car.

Glasvegas - Glasvegas James Yorkston - When the Haar Rolls In And I went into town intending to buy The Week That Was, but went and forgot about it.

Hahaha...oh wait, you're serious.

I love Golden Age, looking forward to Dear Science. Return to Cookie Mountain is ace. Vocally one of my favourite bands.

I think you know very well that "Why there?" was implied.

James Yorkston is playing at the Carmelite!?!?

I agree with Sloth. My big one was ET, in fact I could watch an Amblin Entertainment film/tv show for fear of seeing their logo before or after the show.

Well, I perhaps came over too strongly. I'm no patriot (not that you said I was), and the degree to which I follow Scotland can be judged by the fact I've never attended a Scotland game. It's only the rare opportunity for some football related camaraderie amongst my close friends really, as opposed to with the whole nation.

I agree, but I really do enjoy the rare opportunity to come together with my friends in support of the same team.

It was the last one I read actually. It was good actually although some of it would probably be unnecessary biography I'd imagine. Still worth reading though. Scott Plagenhoef is good writer (or maybe I'm just asying that because he likes B&S, Orange Juice and Dexys)

They're hit and miss really. Some are just pretty much biographies (Neutral Milk Hotel), some are cringe-inducingly earnest or personal (Replacements/The Smiths) but some are genuinely insightful and entertainign reads (ABBA/Magnetic Fields). I just finished The Exploits and Adventures of Brigadier Gerard and can't think of better way to describe it than the quote from the book cover: "Splendid entertainments...touched with genius" George McDonald Fraser

Why aren't we called the United Kingdom in the Olympics? Great Britain doesn't include Northern Ireland. Just seems stupid. I only mention this because if we were in fact competing only as Great Britain then we could guarantee the exclusion of the the Steve Davis' of this world from the team (although we would be losing out on Paddy McCourt:down:)

With Motown it's all about the singles, screw the albums (even What's Going On)

So is it with irony you have that bloke in your avatar?
