  1. His kicking is dubious, though. I was raging at him for not passing to Considine or Diamond in order to aid the retention of the ball. Smashing it miles into the gloves of Kernozenko didn't do us any favours.

    Hang on, that's a superb band name: "The Gloves of Kernozenko"

  2. Interpol return with new album

    BBC-6 today had an exclusive with Interpol's founding member Dan Kessler who revealed in an interview with Steve Lamaq that the band's long awaited follow up to 2004's 'Antics' will finally be released in June.

    Recording was completed in New York last month and Kessler is currently in London mixing the final tracks.

    Since their sublime 2002 debut album 'Turn On The Bright Lights' (which was mixed by Gareth Jones of Depeche/Erasure fame), there has been a tendency in the UK to label Interpol as 'Joy Division/New Wave' clones and despite heaps of critical acclaim, the band have been somewhat overlooked here in the UK in terms of actual record sales though they have a worldwide following that is almost as fanatical as Depeche Mode.

    I'd forgotten they existed, actually.

  3. surely you mean super cute and endearingly mad singer. :love:

    Yeah, I would get rude with her, we share a love for stripes and she does have an endearing belly.

    I had a lot of fun, which I don't often say about gigs. The CSS set nose-dived when the mustachioed drummer (Armando...is it?) jumped ship to play bass, though. The opening few tracks, like the album, were storming. My highlight would have to be Lovefoxxx's Triple H impersonation...

    PS Dave, I'm disappointed you didn't have the courage to text me back and concede your knowledge of Middle Age Scottish history to be schoolboy (if that!)

  4. I heckled the poor man enough on Saturday night (Dave, the best Gang of Four songs ARE NOT on Entertainment!), though I stopped short of launching chewing gum at his recently-chopped mop. I am tempted to come down actually and sample a bit of Monday night Bassment, however I have to read many an article about Hitler and Mussolini for tomorrow. What are you up to these days though Adam, haven't seen you around in a while?

    As for the Gun Club being canned, that's hilarious, as it confirms the flyer incident is 100% genuine wind-power related!

  5. I woke up this morning, and, as you do, had a quick swatch out the window to see what was what. Anyway, I noticed a large piece of paper wedged in a bush in the front garden, so once showered, I went out to retrieve it. I was astonished to find that it was a flyer for Moshulu, no less. Considering I live in Westhill (half an hour from the city centre), and that no-one would flyer here (!), it's pretty impressive that it has been blown all this way. I may now pop down to a Gun Club night, so it seems that flyering really does have a far-reaching impact....

  6. Well, there is no free bus service from Aberdeen Airport to the city centre, just an infrequent and expensive one, as far as I'm aware.

    I'm not a taxpayer as you know, but I don't think I'd vote out a councillor on the basis of promoting such a scheme. I'd like to believe that having something modern and extremely useful would outweight the cost factor.

    As for Stagecoach and First, I think George Mair said he would "assess the situation" about a joint bus centre, to quote the EE.

  7. They should create this transport "hub" (no relation to its university equivalent) that was apparently never brought forward for planning permission when it really mattered; to be honest the bus station at Guild Street is pathetic for a city of this size. First Bus and Stagecoach should be housed in the same complex, along with the adjacent train station, which should have a rail link directly to the airport. The council have to get wise that people require such services in an easily-located and modern nerve-centre. Rather than another shopping mall.

  8. Please, come to Aberdeen and let us destroy the rugby-playing hordes from within.

    As far as academia goes, I study Hispanic Studies, which of course one cannot do at RGU, and it is in the top 3 I believe (don't quote me here) of all UK universities for that particular subject. The language area is really quite prestigious. As for the other half of my degree, History, I have enjoyed it so far, there is a good amount of hard-copy and online library resources, and of course this will expand with the proposed replacement of the QML.
