NARC

Aberdeen does not need any more rock. The music scene is vomiting up rock music because there is far too much of it going around.

S(he)'s mine. Get those grubby popTart mitts off

Oooh! Did you like my CD? I didn't realise you were still in this!!

You can't argue with British Sea Power and Gang of Four...I'll be in this for two more weeks before I jet off, but my cd and tape will leave a superb legacy...

Aye, I'll be in Exodus, I'll bring Princess Holly's cd too.

Interesting, will provide some competition for the Tunnels in that neck of the woods. Any bands lined up as yet?

She did indeed, aren't we a week behind though? If you were seeing your sister then fair enough

Nobody is obliged to be a Scotland supporter. Leif is though' date=' in fact we are all going round his place for the game this saturday[/quote']

He's only watching it because he fancies Andrea Pirlo!

I celebrated when I saw Crawford had signed' date=' but I was just relieved we got somebody, because we're desperate. My concern is that we have 4 strikers who are too similar: Crawford, Mackie, Lovell and Craig (Jimmy can't just let him rot in the reserves). They are all good finishers, all very quick, all thrive on through balls. None of them are naturally adept at holding the ball up, though I expect Lovell will be asked to do this, and none of them really comes deep, though I expect Crawford will be asked to do this. We could have done better

I'm pretty sure the answer is no, but can anyone confirm whether Crawford is in the latest Scotland squad?[/quote']

Crawford's main problem is that he can't finish these days. All he does his work his ass off in aimless pursuits. And Stevie Craig has been paid off. Shame that, Jimmy treated him poorly, I can imagine some choice words must have been said at some point, though, for him to be blanked completely.

By the way, Neil Ex, you are cordially invited to my leaving party at Exodus a week Saturday. So don't make plans. There will be a feast of NME-played bands for you to enjoy courtesy of DJ DAVE!

Ollie you fuckwit why didn't you come to the cd lunch? You're screwing everything up by your laziness!

It caters for bands that are young, new and breaking through. It's a national publication, it would be a waste of time and money to send reviewers to see unsigned bands.

Music if kinda like fashion. Fads come and go. Some come can make the most of it by discoevering the limited number good bands which come out of a fad' date=' where as others are too cool to dare like a fashionable band.[/quote']

There's irony there, it's cool to not be cool because you dislike cool music!

Aye but what I'm saying is, at your age you should be above being susceptible to the latest craze, just because some journalist writes that it's cool. But if you like it, then fine and dandy.

Y'know, if there was a truly dedicated alternative magazine then it would be the same thing as NME in a lot of ways, it would tell you that you should like certain bands, like Pelican or whatever. Obviously, any magazine is going to point you in the direction of bands that they believe in. If you don't like it, then don't buy it!

Damn that Staccato set. Those evil no good talentless ageing no hopers show no commitment to any cause and should never play this town again!

...as a result of their fury at an octogenarian gig-spoiler at a recent Tunnels performance...

All this NME criticism is a bit unfounded. I don't buy the publication, however, the whole point of it is to cover the latest news in the pop/indie rock world, review albums and gigs of what's new and hot. It's up to you as a reader to decide whether you agree with what they are writing; I accept that younger teenagers can easily be drawn into the opinions of NME and because it's "cool" to like a band, but who didn't do the same when they were younger? If you can't think for yourself by now then I think you should be worrying about yourself, not what NME is writing...

Hog, and Rainbowprincess, who in a pathetic twist of irony talks about Hog more than herself in order to boost her own credibility

Would people dance to The Killers if they were on at 11.30 say and a decent amount of punters were in the club already? I'd say not, because they are not drunk enough to have the courage to dance.

Just an observation, no real point!

Please take note, mother superiors, that on the home page, there are several listed gigs that appear to have been mistakenly repeated by some cretin. I bet it's Dave doing it in a blind fury to infuriate the metallers that have taken him and Chris to task by their zealous thread-movage. Anyways, hear ye!

I'm sorry, you are overlooking the wondrous "Haddock", Mr. Time Machine!

I have the Cold Wind 7" which is a lovely item.

Ashamed of admitting your change of heart in accepting my brilliant repartee?

Yousef seems to have a fixation for photos with other men. Check my gallery and the now departed Stuart Maxwell's for conclusive proof...

My Auntie went to university with Seamus Heaney (irish writer and poet).

Get in.

Please tell her to tell him I was terminally bored by his relentlessly bad "bog" poems at school.

What do I have to be ashamed of? Fogarino has confessed an appreciation for Ashlee Simpson and her music for pete's sake!

How about this Interpol-related tribute to the Greek Euro 2004 squad? It struck me during a mean 5-3 victory over the Hellas boys with me as Croatia and Leif Erikson the defeated participant:

"This one's called Dellas was a diver and he was always down...."

"Stelios I love you, Stelios I love you, Stelios I LOVE YOUUUUU....."

"He was alright 'cos the defence was so airtight, Greece broke away..."
