  3. I see! or not. I've not seen this horrible oil stuff you speak of. All chocolatey goodness over here. (and prob loads of chemical badness too) But, wait, it's chocolate on ice cream, all good again.
  4. Yes, it was Ice Magic. And it was magic. I'm currently using Silver Spoon's "Monster Crackin'" Choc n Orange flavour as a substitute to feed my habit. Available from all good Asdas.
  5. In fact I think I may now sell my T in the park tickets. Sheesh, that line up is good.

  10. I went to Benicassim last year. Brian Wilson Lou Reed Primal Scream Spiritualized Kings Of Leon Pet Shop Boys Dandy Warhols Franz Ferdinand Air Belle and Sebastian Teenage Fanclub Kraftwerk Chemical Brothers Lambchop Love with Arthur Lee ........from what I can remember. Performances don't start till like 4 in the afternoon and go on AAAAALLLLLLLLLLLLL night. Ace. Kraftwerk at 4 in the morning was magic. Was more like a holiday. Camped for 10 days in a private campsite near the beach. Couple of nights in Barcelona to boot. Bit worried that this year will be overflowing with neds after NME's relentless promotion of it (LEAVE IT YOU CUNTS) and rumours that Oasis are playing this year. May give it a miss. But highly recommended none the less.
  11. dunno how romantic you and your "mate" are gonna get, but here's a nice wee place I took my bird for her birthday last year. Wasn't too expensive if I remember correctly, and the location is spot on, just over the Charles Bridge. http://www.domus-balthasar.cz/

  14. Just announced on weezer website - Carling Academy 17th June...... Wish I got an invite to this video shoot....... ...Today was a long day of work on the "Beverly Hills" video over at the Playboy Mansion (yes, you heard correctly), where the very odd mixture of real weezer fans, weezer, and Playboy playmates resulted in a fun, weird, hilarious, and oddly unified experience. Fans from all over LA and SoCal, and from as far away as Utah (!) converged at a 'base camp' parking lot in (where else) Beverly Hills, following the instructions given by the production staff. They were then shuttled up to the mansion, having no idea where they were going. The first batch of fans looked positively befuddled when they stepped out of the vans and were greeted by the Playboy bunnies. They still didnt even know where they were, and the reactions were priceless, and captured on film. More vanloads of fans arrived over the course of the day, and Marcos has cameras going everywhere, catching the wide range of 'oil and water' mixtures as they unfolded, on the rolling lawns, the miniature zoo filled with huge birds and monkeys, by the pool, around the hot tub 'grotto' cave, in the video arcade/pool table/blackjack table equipped 'game room', and even playing a rather jaw-dropping round of soccer. The idea of juxtaposing real weezer fans with such an unlikely fantasy environment came from "Beverly Hills" basically being about the sense of alienation that many people get when they dont feel like they belong. The song speculates about living the life of movers and shakers, but concludes that theres no way to cross over from the 'real world' to the 'fantasy world' (even if one who is 'normal' has indeed become 'famous'.) But for a few minutes the idea is tossed about, taken to the level of longing for a life of extreme celebrity. The fans did an AWESOME job, and huge thanks goes out to them for their willingness to be kept in the dark and accept the surreal circumstances that greeted them once they stepped onto the grounds. They get the 'good sportsmanship' award, big-time. Director Marcos Siega and the whole production crew kicked major ass as well, as did the playmates and a certain swinging patriarch who lent a hand in the proceedings! Oh, and weezer rocked out in style, as they are known to do. "Beverly Hills" is a pretty catchy track and was practically begging to be a single, but its important to know that its but one piece of a fairly complex album pie, and to any concerned that Album 5 is just a collection of 'fun' songs, fear not - theres many flavors to come.
  15. Best one I read was "Dear Boy" about Keith Moon. Can't remember who it was by though?? What a life that loon had....
  16. I'm assuming I know you. You said your name was Donnie on another thread, and I only know one Donnie from Elgin. You're second name begins with "S" right? You know me, but I'm nae quite as "me(n)tal as you.
  17. "Elginball" mustn't have crossed over to the south side of the tracks I assume?
  18. Pinefield Hall. The Piner. Childhood memories. Aaaaaaaaaah.
