That'll explain it then - to be fair though, me n Ant were in the Bassment until we heard "I Just Can't Be happy Today" coming thru the walls which cued a downing of Broon Ales and quick dash next door. And I could have got in without a feckin ticket, as no - one checked to see I had one. Never mind. Mind you, I couldnae have been sitting in the Bassment with Ant if you were playing. Fuck sake, this is getting ridiculous. SORRY MIN, I FORGOT! I'll be more vigilant next time, you fiend! P.S. Whatcha think o the CD?

He could have at least mentioned the 'Loff, but maybe he saved it for next time he sees you? Nevertheless, good to see the Gin Goblins mentioned.

Fully. But they would only sell 50 tickets instead of selling it out if they had a cast of Drakes playing, for instance! Imagine Faither bellowing "'Hank you!" to a captivated, sell - out SECC audience! He could emerge from the crowd and make his way to the stage from the back of the venue! Or appear from a trap door, powered by a hydraulic lift that shot him flying up in the air, dressed as a zombie. Carrying a comedy shark cup...... And Teenage Fanclub are your favourite band anyway.

It's next month! 22nd February! I'm sure it'll be maist pleasing, though!

Thanks for your views - They have been completley ignored. Now go listen to your hip young punks, junior.

Yes! Skindred!

Anyone else going to see Stipey and co at the SECC on the 22nd? Everyone else seems to be going to the Loch Lomond extravaganza, but I fancy seeing them a bit closer up. On a side note, I've just booked a MegaBus ticket to get down to Glasgow and back to Aberdeen - Anyone any comments on the MegaBus experience? It was only 4.50 return for two, so we don't care if it's a raft - 30 extra to spend on booze! Cheers guys.

Someone needs to teach that fat mini - mowhak guy some manners - I was watching him all night and he was needlessly violent whenever a band came on. He wasn't very happy when someone was needlessley violent to him, but he fully deserved it. If you're a dick to others, others will be a dick to you.

No worries min - Adam and I are DJing so I'll give you the CD after you've finished the set and are all packed up. See you on Friday.

I heard from a trustworthy source he's going to suddenly emerge from Ant's mowhawk during "The Intro".....................

Sorry min - I didn't know if you were being sarky or not! I kinda hoped you were, but with some of the ridiculous postings so far on this topic, i'm sure you'll understand! From now on i'll take everything you say with the sarcasm - o -meter swiched firmly on! Cheers, marsh

Oh, I know there's no real alternative - I was really having a go at the gimps who claimed that Busted were a real group or a good live band! Young lassies will always buy "music" made from the "hunkiest" boy bands - It's been like that since the Beatles, hasn't it? Always will be.

I am fucking humiliated to have to admit this, but most people who know me are aware of this , but I took my fiance to see Busted in Glasgow for her 21st birthday. I spent a good half hour of the concert queing for what turned out to be a half pint of warm lager, but I feel obliged to confirm that they are truely awful live. A third guitarist in the background provided most of the guitar work, as the three guys were too busy prancing about to play properly. The one with the black hair and bad complexion really cannae sing - I kid you not - He was murder. Eyebrows did a credible drum solo thing with the other drummer they hire. The other one with the blonde hair has a pervy voice that warbles away tunelessley. They really were truly awful. I felt like a perv, as the place was full of kids and I didn't have any of my own! Truly, the average audience memebr age must have been 10, so I seriously doubt if the boys are caring if they have any "artistic integrity" or anything. They are slightly gimmicky because they strum along a bit to their songs, but no different from any other boy band. Oh, and I checked the wife's DVD - True, the boy James does have an involvement in the writing of every song, aye, along with, on average, 5 different writing partners! So they don't "write all their own songs." They are fucking terrible and a piss - take to real bands that struggle to even play a gig, let alone sell thousands of copies of their debut single due to clever marketing and the fact they appeal to young lassies. And endless appearances on CD:UK and The Saturday Show. Never forget that's how they got where they are - It wasn't touring every toilet in the UK and realeasing a self - funded debut or Fierce Panda effort. They are fully manufactured .How long did they live off the success of their first single? - Fucking ages is the answer. And I have heard the new band in question. Oh dear. Sub - Lostprophets is a good summing up I thought.

Here's all the info - John Peel Weekender The Blue Lamp, Gallowgate Friday 21st and Saturday 22nd January 7:30pm - 2:00am both nights Entry - 5 at the door - All proceeds to The British Heart Foundation. D.J.'s playing a variety of Peel - approved music / Peel session tracks. Expect an eclectic mix of tunes from the Orb through Beefheart to Joy Division. It will be a busy night, so get down early and enjoy the music! The Lamp is reasonably priced booze - wise, so no worries there. There has been no decicated Peel tribute in Aberdeen yet, so come along and salute the Godfather of alternative music. I've made a poster which I'd like to post in the "Events" forum - Can anyone help me in doing this? It's a JPEG file, under 1MB. Any help in doing this would be appreciated.

This is fully laughable. Who actually gives a flying fuck?

You do realise that we have been doing this since the day Ant joined Karloff and it always keeps the amusement levels up while the band are cranking up The Interio! You knows the score - DANANANAH! DANAANANANANANANH! You seem to have the credentials to join the official "far's Faither Fiend going to emerge from" crew! I am pissing myself laughing writing this, because some other punter has found it amusing. Good work, lad.

KarFuckinLoff - Self Made Monster A better produced / recorded / collection of songs you won't hear from last year.
