South Park Studios UK and Ireland - Bono's Demands At 00.41

Thats a pretty risque photo for a Christian site. Nice one. EDIT; I had thought that piece had more of a Chris Morris off-your-mash-on-ecstasy-pipes type vibe, but after viewing, no, I think they might have meant it.

I'm a long-standing U2 hater, about as long as I've hated Bon Jovi, so '85 was when it really kicked in. They were actually still the height of trendcool then, hard as that may be for the young to comprehend, and I've seen nothing to contradict that viewpoint yet. And that is not taking any of the peripheral bullshit into consideration, on the music alone, gads.

I liked the dudes blog post, as I like massive over-analysis, and anyone who'll go to that length to tie U2 into every shitty thing the writer hates about about modern society can't be bad. But mainly it is about how Humans have a huge talent for self-deception.

Popular, and yet utterly loathed...New U2 album delayed until 2012 | Music | guardian.co.uk Mainly people who don't much listen to music, like a bit of U2, for no fucking reason I can garner.

I only plays guitar, and the only drummer I know has 3 bands on the go, including one in Edinburgh. Good luck anyhoo, still up for mixes etc.

Bloody jazz scale! Nawreally, it is only fitting someone of such importance to music and recording technology gets honoured with a nice gadget in such a public arena, when do we get the Leo/Tele tribute eh, EH?

'Goblin' by Tyler the Creator, a third ace, third decent, third horrible vile ding. I've never thought albums should be 15+ tracks long, with judicious editing this shit would be much better. I'm wrong to expect coherence from dudes that age though, the work they've put in is an example in of itself.

And you gain 5 Dennis Wheatly points.

Smiley Face- gotta be one of the best stoner films I've seen, warm, benevolent, but funny, good entry to the Canon.

Too bad he flirted with fascism, B5 style, for about 70 episodic minutes. He was redeemed in the end!

Never thought of Laney as a budget brand, except some of their solid state stuff, Tony Iommi as endorsee is cred enough for anyone. Guitarist is always raving about H&K stuff, but if I was sourcing a valve amp for c500 or under (as I hope to be in the next year max), I'd try a Jet City or Egnater first, based on an aggregate of a few reviews, and I'd buy it in a place, rather than the netz. In your place I'd prob get the Laney, but all good.

I want the Booooomb, I want the PFunk, I wants to get funked up. Other than that I once saw a Shakatak album with a really funny merchandise leaflet, was tempted by the Shakatak Hessian bag available... missed chances, eh? Hey Fool an' the Gang! etc

Yeah, even the Chicano stuff by The Plugz, but the Fear track is my current fave.

Ah, you aren't smart enough to watch Repo Man, fair enough. "You like music, listen to this. I was into these dudes before anyone. Wanted me to be their manager. I called bullshit on that. Managing a pop group, aint no job for a man. "

As ever, my answer is Repo Man, to any film based recommendation not based on negatives, Repo Man, yeah. Definitely not The Hunchback Hairball of LA.

No, they definitely have a point, aerodynamics or somesuch.

The new Uni library would look better if they take that funny looking tape (?) off it, I've looked at photos of the site, and I only went there for 5 years, but I still can't understand where exactly the thing is, is it in the bit between Meston and the Engineering building, and how the fuck does it fit in there? I'll have a look next time I'm up whenever that is. I want to like it though, and it looks a damn sight nicer than the 12 floor academic library I work in, although it has its own brutalist majesty, and awsome views.

Is 'at him symbolically holding up the Royal Burgh charter, ta for the photo, any of the architectural details of redevelopment, and does it sustain the mighty character of the building. Was it not paid for from the Common Good Fund, created by the charter itself, for a nice bit of completion of the tale.

Any photos, couldn't find decent ones on the netz. Am I correct in assuming that Mitchell Hall and environs north are still in Uni hands, are they untouched, or are they getting treatment to ensure a homogenous quad?

To be honest given a choice between Queen and life in a Totalitarian Hell... tough call.

Artificial Harmonics are fuckin ace.

Finally got my hands on Gun Face, hand point to point wired Distortion and Clean Boost. The boost is a Super Hard on circuit, well it crackles, and is OK, with the dudes own Fallen Angel dist circuit. Only had half an hour so far, but the Distortion sounds good on its own, but only the level is tweakable, like my fuzz it increases in gain with the hotness of signal it is fed. With my fuzz from the same guy, it is unreal, all the rich variants on classic fuzz. Shit I thought it sounded ace feeding off a Digitech Grunge, it did, but this has more definition, and audibly richer tone. And it was 25, + 20p&p, because it is made from the arse end of an old artillery shell and solid brass. Ace +infinity. The Gun Face - this is a true one off | Facebook Result.

Aye man, you were definitely on the noise up though when the Quo tune you produced as 'evidence' was the Anniversary Waltz, shit, that's worse than Margarita Time, *shudders*, but for internets noise up, 'twas the perfect choice. There is some defence for 70s Quo, but not a shred for 80s, and that is a direct ruling from the Associated Tribunal for What is Artistically Tasteful.

Looks like AV is fucked, but our Safety Blanket has gained a new edge and the political map has become a lot more interesting/quite frankly fucking strange, as long as Salmond doesn't sign off on UTG, as I deeply suspect he will/would. Innerestin timez
