  1. Hello, Standing ticket for sale, 30, which I think is just below face value with the booking bits n' bobs knocked off. Tickets haven't actually arrived yet, can get ticket to anyone in Aberdeen once they arrive or even complete the transaction in Glasgow if necessary. Cheers, Neil
  2. I disagree with "bland", but I'll take "safe" and "inoffensive" if it melts my heart in the manner that Take Care does. I think their sound, if far from wholly original, is distinctive enough in its nuances.
  3. Wouldn't that involve automatic qualification for FIVE teams though?
  4. Not pretending every one of these records has received a totally thorough listening to, but: 1. These New Puritans - Hidden 2. Arcade Fire The Suburbs 3. The National High Violet 4. Beach House Teen Dream 5. Belle and Sebastian Write About Love 6. Villagers Becoming A Jackal 7. The Phantom Band The Wants 8. Hot Chip One Life Stand 9. Lindstrom & Christabelle Real Life Is No Cool 10. Owen Pallett Heartland 11. Caribou Swim 12. Spoon Transference 13. Mountain Man Made the Harbor 14. The Morning Benders Big Echo 15. Perfume Genius Learning 16. Maximum Balloon Maximum Balloon 17. Janelle Monae The Archandroid (ooh, predictably tokenistic) 18. LCD Soundsystem This Is Happening 19. Errors Come Down With Me 20. Yeasayer Odd Blood (If we were judging albums by their first half alone this would be fourth-ish) Biggest Disappointment: Frightened Rabbit - Winter of Mixed Drinks Most overrated: Wild Nothing/Best Coast/Wavves Favourite Compilation/Boxset: The Triffids - Come Ride With Me...Wide Open Road (Getting the Orange Juice one for christmas)
  5. I had a listen. Not strictly to my tastes, I find it a little bit cloying, although it's catchy enough. I think both the vocals are fine, only an audiophile would quibble with them.
  6. My favourite short story collection is by far Slawomir Mrozek's 'The Elephant'. Just so damned hilarious and funny, simultaneously biting and naieve in tone. Best day of my summer was sitting in the garden reading the whole thing.
  7. Everytime I'm supposed to be seeing Woomble and co (be they Idlewild or Drever/McCusker) I end up in hospital the night before, so no way am I risking it just before Hogmanay!
  8. I've always had the hots for her...but I'm too sexist to actually listen to her music.
  9. I feel a little guilty about my 'Ackbar Is My Homeboy' t-shirt, but the illustration is so good.
  10. Zeromisery: Assuming it's the number listed under Dashboard in system settings, it is 2.0.9199.0. Paime, I'm afraid I'm not looking for another console, thanks.
  11. So that's: X-box 360 60gb console (with HDMI input, in fact I'll even throw in a cable) 2 Wireless Controllers Wireless Adapter Fifa 11 Red Dead Redemption Some other games I'm willing to just throw: Fable II, Fifa 10, GTA 4, Some Smackdown game 140 or nearest offer (unless it's just crazy talk) Can pick up or I'll meet somewhere in Aberdeen city centre PM me!
  12. Belle and Sebastian - Write About Love Also, not paid for, but legally obtained: Dexys Midnight Runners - Searching For the Young Soul Rebels (30th Anniversary Edition_ Bryan Ferry - Olympia
  13. How you know somebody is a dickhead on Xbox live. They select Arsenal/Man U/Chelsea/Real/Barca/Inter and whilr you fiddle with your formation they go straight to "Ready" and do that annoying thing where they flash it on and off.
  14. Arrrgh! Way to go!!! This post made me decide to part with my cash for it, ya big jerk!
  15. I don't know about that, I saw you and Euanananotgoingtogettherightnumberofansakroyd. I don't know either of you but I check you both out from distance whenever the opportunity arises.
  16. Don't say it's awful, because I gave it as a present and I don't want to give shit presents! I find I'm fairly indifferent to Bradford Cox. I liked Atlas Sound's set at Primavera this year, but I could attribute it partially to my heroic intake of alcohol in a short period of time to avoid the queues. Yep, I'm a big man alright.
  17. I'll get it for christmas...unless that is my auntie speaks to my dad. She sent me a message saying she'd seen what I wanted on Facebook. I was puzzled until I realised that she seen a few posts I made about Half Man Half Biscuit songtitles and misunderstood. So Orange Juice boxset or Dukla Prague away shirt it is.
  18. You must be kidding, she's repulsive, but then I consider that one of the show's strengths.
  19. His high-points are The New World and Minority Report.
  20. I believe statute law on the matter of discrimination refers to discrimination against a person on ground of their "place of birth" as being racial discrimination and case law probably deals with the matter anyway, but I'm too lazy to check now that I haven't been a law student for a good two years. Oh and Nefarious, gingers are a race just like white people and black people and chinese people and mexicans and Indians. YouTube - CopperCab's Channel
  21. 10 points to this man. HateEvent, that looks like an album inspired by a porn version of Avatar.
  22. I did check with an unreliable source first, was too lazy to check the forums before hand. No need to be a complete and utter cretin about though young man.
  23. I saw this on Drowned In Sound and thought I'd bring it here, fairly self-explanatory. We'll start with my masterpiece:

    The Room

    I booked two tickets then went and got all ill, hence why I'm stuck at home 5 minutes before it starts. Guteeeeeeeeeed.
