TR!ΔNGL€ T€€TH

This Pokemon thing has certainly taken off, judging from the people playing it or sharing news articles about it. I am thinking it will last about as long as that pictionary game form a few years ago.

Watched a couple of episodes of "Orange is the new Black" on the recommendation of friends. I don't think that it is an accurate portrayal of prison life.

Exploitative shite. 

Recording the next Seas, Starry album this weekend.

My MP is sending a letter to Theresa May.

Right now I don't know who is worse, the "I'm not racist" leave voters or the Tory politicians that clearly couldn't organise a piss up in a brewery. How the fuck is the no Leave plan??!?

You could say it was just a political power play by the right wing of the party and they never really thought that the Welsh and English would be bat shit crazy enough to want to leave the EU. Dark times, I've been in touch with my MP and the Irish consulate to try and figure out what happens to me as an EU citizen living in a soon to be (or maybe not?!) non-EU United Kingdom.

Heroic stuff from Ireland, who managed to do without Jonathan Walters on the pitch.

People who leave their mobile phone on their desk on full volume.

This is usually in combination with the offender having an overbearing partner that constantly phones them.

Looks like Gav has managed to figure out a deal for all existing gigs after July to be held at Underdog instead, This could be an ongoing thing, possibly including the weekly blues jam.

This is good news.

Sounds like Tunnels 2 is available for bookings too, which helps out for more niche events.

Is tonight the night that you let Depeche Choad in?

I think it is, check out their latest Extended Play: https://depeche-choad.bandcamp.com/album/pain-after-sex-2

This is tomorrow night!

There is a post with details on the Facebook page.

Absolutely terrible news for local music in Aberdeen and a terrible shame for Gav.

...That'd be handy for managing lowly/obscure teams where I don't recognise player names, and they could just be identified by number.

(Squad numbers are important)

I could only speculate, but the size of Foundation was at least on par with Tunnels.

Liverpool and Wales footballer Joe Allen rescues chickens after they've come to the end of their commercial life and looks after them:

Quote

The cockerels are called Bruce and Rodney, while the hens are named Meg, Leg, Silkie Steve, Kate, Silkie Steve junior, Giblets, Snowy, Nugget, Kiev, Dora, Holly, Shimmer, Shine and Chickaletta

Excellent names from Joe Allen there. Good to see a professional footballer not being a vile human being for a change.

Sounds interesting, anyone have more information? I remember Foundation quite a large club, so I'll be intrigued as to how it is designed.

You'd also like to think that two active venues/nightclubs opposite each other will mean the the underpass they both feature could be kept less dark and piss soaked.

Come check out DTHPDL this Saturday, along with Depeche Choad & Godzilla Blues!

Guessing that the 40w is a typo, so my stab in the dark is this - http://www.voxamps.com/ac4tv

Just over a week to this!

I thought Dubya was a madcap Tory?

Back in the bad old days, now he is as Lib Dem as a wet face cloth. Do you think the party has searched this site for his madcap hijinks from years ago?

A little bit late, but guess who was a candidate in the Scottish elections?

Of course this means that in 8 years time, we will have Moon Moon running and Jake B. Assists will be First Minister. And probably not in the EU, as it turns out a fair chunk of folk are mad racist idiots.

Fri: Work night out, which is a pub quiz. Exiting.

Sat: Going down to Edinburgh to catch Laura Stevenson. She is playing Dundee on Sunday, but the bag for life and I decided on an overnight stay instead.

Sun: Big sit downs.

Securing a house in the south of England is pretty great.

Leaving in Aberdeen in a couple of weeks. We've been wanting to do it for a few years but could never make it happen. The missus getting made redundant was as good a time as any.

So, Bye Aberdeen. King Street really smells, but the rest of you is okay.

Exciting adventures ahead, good stuff!

Where in Aberdeen can I purchase a violin or cello bow?

I ordered a cheap one via Amazon and it broke in transit, so I'd be keen to be able to get one in person.

Sweet Spirit - Cokomo

Chaotic, catchy pop songs with an air of theatre about them. I like this kind of thing. They are very Austin and I bet that they would be a right rammy live.

4/5
