Alan Cynic

Cheers! Have been enjoying listening to some Fern Knight today.

I picked up his band's cd in a charity shop last week...forget their name though! New listens...the Aidan Moffat/Bill Wells one and an excellent Wounded Knee cassette ('Wither/whither?').

Thanks Graham.....it might be a while, as I'm getting them in batches of 3 ( due to hand-drawn covers ).

I'll keep mum if I'm asked!

There's a new Kitchen Cynics album called 'Wooden Bird' just out on Almost Halloween Time records of Italy. It's limited to 110 copies, and a few have been sold already. I won't be getting many copies, so if you're interested the place to order from is here..... Almost Halloween Time Records

Agree with Hugh. Foster would have no qualms about shouting at his teammates, but i don't think he's captain material. Milsom has the attitude, but seems to lack the shouting qualities, so it has to be a new signing. (Although I'd have no problems with Jack, Fyvie or even Grimmer getting it, in a Martin Buchan move).

I like that 'no frills/kick in the nacks' look of it a lot!

Calderwood would have had us permanently 'lingering with intent', but never achieveing a great deal. I know we're crap at the moment, but hopefully the current cull will enable a better mentality about the team.

I mean 3 who will be useful in guiding the youngers.....I know we'll need at least 3 more 'older' heads....but I don't expect all of them to be excellent role models, as long as they can kick a ba' (or an opponent). Not happy about Maguire being offered better terms either!

I'm expecting Craig Brown to sign 3 experienced guys who will command respect, and help guide the talented youngsters coming through. Hopefully next season will see a massive improvement.

Most recent buy is a Stroviols phono fiddle....it's easier to play than my others and looks a beast, too! It looks like this... http://www.springersmusic.co.uk/Library/Instruments/Violins/V%20PF%20Stroh1.JPG

I quite fancy that, too.....what's your opinion so far?

Just watched them Del......good fun!

Found this on youtube....it's the US band Tanakh doing a song I co-wrote with them...

She played the Tunnels not too many years ago.

2nd hand vinyl buys.... Philip Glass 'Mishima' Mighty Shadow 'Music Fever' Tangerine Dream 'Phaedra'

Thanks, Frosty....appreciate that!

*hic* Will have it in Kilau tomorrow, as per PM.

Anybody know any cheap. trustworthy & capable plumbers?

That's cos Alford folk are a tad unwashed

Pretty sure I've a decent enough one lurking at home....but can't check til Tuesday. If you don't get one by then you can have it.

Correctomundo! Were you walking, cycling or car-ing?

True....it was always the AA for me.

Folk are folk, I suppose, but some of those Milky Way folk's customs put me off them (that anal-probe greeting for a start).

If I'm honest I must admit to a local bias...so my order is Aberdeen North-East Scotland East Scotland Britain Europe Northern hemisphere Earth Local solar system etc
