Not sure if this question has been asked before... At the moment I'm favouring Group X: "Prostitute, I hate you. Put down the oreo crackers, and quit doing the sex" AKM

In a world bursting at the seams with truly shite music, you choose to slate the Arcade Fire? I got "Funeral" today, listened to it twice - I don't love it, but I think I might, given time. Anyway, reserve your criticisms for bands who really deserve it. i.e. Kaiser Chiefs. Morcheeba. Jamiroquai. G4. etc. AKM

*My name* *My birth year* - *My death year* Sadly missed John 3:16 At least I'm being honest, eh. AKM

Kaiser Chiefs are atrocious. Bloc Party are average, but "so here we are" is a great song. AKM

Easy - Lionel Ritchie and the Commodores. No doubt about it. AKM

Three Kordoba songs are now on our website. We'd appreciate any feedback. They vary enormously in style and content so listen to all three if you want a balanced opinion of our band. Recorded by Paul at Captain Tom's - thanks Paul. http://www.kordoba.co.uk/song06.mp3 http://www.kordoba.co.uk/choosemywayoferror.mp3 http://www.kordoba.co.uk/achievement.mp3 Cheers Andrew M PS - If anyone could define who we sound like, we'd appreciate it. We can't figure it out.

Fair do's. AKM

Chips and kebab meat from Kordoba on George St. So good, we named our band after it. seriously. AKM

I'd rather eat my grandma's toenails. AKM

I'd recommend Atmosphere Lighting and Sound, Nelson Street. Prices aren't outrageous, staff are helpful, and their gear is decent. AKM

How and where can I get tickets? AKM

We (Kordoba) played with you guys at Kef in March. I remember you had a lot of energy, but I think the bandography on your website is a bit extreme, to be honest; your stuff isn't going to change the path of rock music. Still, best of luck to you. AKM

You are wrong, so wrong. Want a fight? AKM

Probably a 5. Because I don't invest much time in listening to music if I don't expect to like it. But I like quiet music AND loud music. So my tastes do vary, slightly. AKM

HE'S GOT EIGHT CARS AND A HOUSE IN IRELAND...sing it. two points. 1. As many people have said, the average joe in the street doesn't know much about music, doesn't really care about music, isn't passionate about it. Hence voting for bad albums, ridiculous albums and jaw-droppingly awful albums. Get over it. Muso snobs = boring. 2. I want someone to name an ALBUM that is better than OK Computer. Not an artist better than Radiohead, a collection of songs better than the ones on OK, but a better ALBUM. I have great belief in the album as artistic work, hence why I don't like skipping tracks on my CDs. And I fully believe that OK computer is technically accomplished, has incredibly sound and musicianship, some classic songs and lyrics, and fits together more perfectly than any other album I know of. sincerely, AKM

"The King Of Bring" is one of my favourite songs. Superb. Available on the Chemikal Underground compilation "Out of our heads on skelp". If you don't have it, you really ought to. Only 3.50. http://www.simbioticstore.com/chemikal/index.html?s=home&m=&c=viewitem&shop=chemikal&search=Various&ssid=0&item_id=2615 AKM

"Recorded by Albini. Mastered by Dave Fridmann" would be ideal for us lot. AKM

Purple metallic snare drum and set of cymbals for quick sale. Brand names unknown. 50 o.n.o. Winning bidder to collect from Denmore. AKM

Three facts, good and true: A good guitar will not make a bad song sound better. A good song will sound good even with a bad guitar. Good music = good, creative songs. If I was to complain about one flaw in the Aberdeen scene, it is that most bands put all their effort into their technique and timing, without spending enough time on decent lyrics or original thought. I have heard innumerable local bands who feature glorious guitar noises and finely honed precision drumming, yet sing D-A-G-A songs about "sunshine" and "good time", or "love" and "the stars above". You know what I mean. AKM

I reckon this is a joke. Surely. AKM (also a Christian...)

What's the deal with sound levels in the Malt Mill? We're supposed to be playing there on March 31st. And we're quite loud. Will we get turfed out? AKM

Your drummer is brilliant. Drummonds was full of 14 year olds. Why? What was the methodology behind launching your bass at the crowd, and why are you such a bad dancer? AKM

Yes, but have you never heard of indie cred? "What bands do you like?" *--thinks - Toploader, the Bee Gees, Tracy Chapman--* "Um...y'know, - Minor Threat, Black Flag, Husker Du, Shellac..." Sad but true AKM

If you know what I mean. I'll start. Coat Of Many Colours - Dolly Parton Nobody Knows - Tony Rich Project. The World's Greatest - R. Kelly Leave your shame and fear of ridicule at the door. AKM

I think it's alright. Quite pleasant. It's mainly bought and drunk as a status symbol though. It's considered very "rock and roll" to order Jack D and Coke, or to have a million empty Jack D bottles around your gaff. AKM
