  1. So, whats the Criterion for entry then. EDIT comment abort, abort...not relevant
  2. At the risk of unleashing my inner pedant, there are 5 quotes but only 4 letters, so the odd one out is the one without a letter, I presume my medal is in the post.
  3. I've heard of some guy, Minge Tickler or something... EDIT, och alright then, these guys are part of/affiliated with C&C music at the same building, that's where the Jimmy Egypt repair shop is as well, and he is well rated. FLYNN AMPS - CUSTOM AMPLIFICATION - Glasgow Guitar Amplifier Repairs - Glasgow Keyboard Repairs - Glasgow Pro Audio Servicing Not the local area though.
  4. That's the best Amon Duul album, Hydrocephallus Dei...Gods Water Cock.
  5. He is very good at demolishing modern myths about weed (that its 10-20x stronger, that it definitely makes you schizo), and his strikes at Gillian McKeith("or to give her full title, Gillian McKeith"), well it gives you some faith in modern humanity, which is ironic as Goldacre deals in PROOF.
  6. A chicken in every pot, and a Fender for every household tovarisch, that is the 5 year plan. I just checked that they have the Sonic Blue with a maple board, it looks like the bastard muscly cousin of my Classic 50s beaut, so now I definitely really like it. Stickers can go anywhere except the guitar.
  7. To quote a great man; I'd probably feel a lot worse if I wasn't under such heavy sedation.
  8. At first I was like, NOOOOOOOOO, NOT AGAIIIINNN, then I was like, THE EYES THE EYES GO FOR THE EYES then I was like... catharsis in excelcis
  9. Thats yer actual, real life generation gap, working in a large educational establishment I have seen it. When I was at uni, even fuckers 10-12 years younger than me were, culturally, quite similar, and that carried on til about 2005, everyone who has come of age since then is pretty culturally different, not more using of tech, but more centred in it. It's not better or worse, just different, and it was always inevitable. The most negative thing I could say is that books seem to be devalued, and that concentration time is fragmenting, maybe the world as it is demands that, I still don't approve.
  10. Some people never have any imagination, even those in a supposedly imaginative scene. All that blatant shit is comical.
  11. Now theres one guy who would never touch soapy, someone should ask him/set him off on a rant about how evil sprayed weed is, not that it would alter the fact that those fuckers have no shame, FUCKERS.
  12. Bill was all right too, he still there? Andy Watson was coolio too, and Alan in the Belmont St shop c.1987-cool as fuck, ultra helpful, all good. Bring back Clinkscales.
  13. When I first heard I thought it was the Freak Brothers Idiots Abroad, that would have been worthwhile, write a proper series Gervais, 'stead of fuckin about with you dumbass mate, do some realistic comic acting or something.
  14. Not exactly a rediscovery, as I have never repudiated them or their importance, but listening to a bit of the mighty Celtic Frost recently, as well as Tom G's Triptykon album (fuckin pretty decent). Insert Death Grunt Heee(y)ere.
  15. On the one hand it was powerful, well made art dealing with human savagery in an unsensational and truthful way. On the other hand I don't think I ever want to see it again, because it is just too brutal for me to deal with another time, at the end I almost felt culpable. I can't put myself through that for what is TV entertainment. I had similar feelings with Marabou Stork Nightmares, I think its a great book, but I never want to go back to that headspace. Last nights show did show the full seedy banality of evil, the domestic setting contributed to the versimilitude of the scene, it was good social art. That scene represents the suffering of uncounted thousands, millions if the totality of human existence is the measure, and perhaps giving that scene its visceral truth does those victims a better service than underplaying the depravity of the crime, in order to cushion the sensibilities of viewers. I just hope there is some element of the classic Meadows revenge trip in the last one, I fuckin need it after seeing that.
  16. Flipside is, why not do the only thing he was good at doing in the first place?
  17. Hour a week, whether I need it or not. Plus odd 3 hour freak improv jams.
  18. Tis but a Titian of lies, the neck has the wrong Tint(oretto), the counterfeiter must be a bit of a Sickert bastard. The seller can stick it up is Arp, tis a Kapoor show all round.
  19. Only 5 to have Mondragon berate you for using his filters funny, BARGINZZ!
  20. Any relation/similarity/is it not Rock Night DJ Benny, various Thursdays Ritzy et al.
  21. The laugh is, one of his assistants signed it, typical Dali!
  22. Nah, thats just the Dali artist edition, hence the warped shape.
  23. I prefer the one with 'Knees Up Muvvver Brahn' and 'My Ol' Mans a Dustman (Ee Wears a Dustmans 'At) on it.
