I'm all for lo-fi... just do it and see what happens. Fuck the musos

A tenner would tempt me back, too.

Did we not do a mutual stalk in Under the Hammer?

Just been staring intently at the folk in Kilau just now, in case I know anyone. Getting mostly worried return looks!

Whoops... the coffee obviously hadn't woken me up enough! Sorry'bout that

So no, then! Sure I saw her at the Tunnels a good while ago ( might've been on the same bill). Is she chums with Kathryn Sawers?

If Graham bought the 78 machine and got it working I could guarantee a good few bands would fancy paying for ltd edition 78s

Thanks Graham... I was aware of the 78 machine, and was toying with bidding, but I can't get there on Friday (family illness).

I was busy praying for ICT to gub Rangers... would've come over but didn't want to intrude.

KirkT in the Holburn Bar right now. I did shout to him, but he was in 'wench-mode'

Agreed... Arnason looks a great signing.

I was also at last night's Drummonds one, and enjoyed it, despite being a tad tiddly

...and, despite not caring much for Johnny Cash, I love his version of The first time ever I saw your face.

Some of my fave covers... the Slits 'Heard it through the grapevine' Spirit 'Like a rolling stone' the Fall 'Victoria' 'I can hear the grass grow' and many others Black Forest Black Sea 'Sea song' Robert Wyatt 'i'm a believer' 'Shipbuilding' Tim Buckley 'Dolphins'

I'm surprised they didn't have a 'Cock of the North' headline, or something about cabers.

Good!!!!

We went to the much lauded Anstruther chipper a few months ago.....but it wasn't as good as some local ones (maybe hit it on a bad day though).

What about those continental types with their chips and mayonnaise?

Forecast for the St Mirren Dons game.....1-3 (ever-hopeful).

Same question from me!

Touche (acute)! You are correct...Caley for the drop!

You doing a cover of 'Down, down' by Status Quo, as a prediction of United's end-of-season relegation then Jon?

Me too! I just managed to get a spool out of a long-redundant camera, and got it developed a few days ago. There were some photos of Dr Drakes... including a few of the legendary Thomas Truax/Chris TT/Sgt Buzfuz night. Think that was Thomas' second time here.

I think I'm probably on the side of the baddies here....she wasn't really on my radar much, and I don't watch MTV/read Hello etc, The little I heard of her music didn't do anything for me, so I feel much the same about her death as I would about Susan Boyle, or Robbie Williams....i.e. not affected, apart from feeling sorry for her at going young.

Thomas contacted me recently to put the word out he's looking for a gig here about the 11th/12th or 14th/15th October. If any of you promoter types are interested send him a Facebook message
