Not entirely ...

Now that would be something worth seeing/hearing.

I beleive it was a very low F#.

so much for the conspiracy theories, what about the music?
EDIT: Coming to think of it' date=' Russell has done a fantastic job with this series.
...
It's a massive juggling act and a massive accomplishment.

Is it just me, or does anyone else think it's the (less than incidental) music that is the weak point ? Too obvious and intrusive, especially the "romantic" themes ?

aberdeen-music podcast
Yeah' date=' Aberdeen-Music radio seems like a great idea. Local band material would be the best option.
[/quote']Would something like this be workable DIY radio ?
Seems to work for this guy Tartan podcast and loads of others available here

not being cheeky but........ what shows do you put on' date=' ive never heard of you doing anything[/quote']
A search for "interesting music" on the Gig & Event Announcements forum comes up with 30 threads (as of 19:30 sunday 5th June) ...
All the gigs I've managed to catch have lived up to the name "Interesting", and it's no doubt a labour of love
for Mike, Jenny, Graeme and co.AMT on Monday @ The Tunnels
and lots more damn fine stuff to come -
I'd say I was interested but I'm probably too young/inexperienced.
Ditto - apart from the young part :O

In the dim and distant past I had a Rega Planar deck which was pretty good for the price. This one on ebay currently under 100

sinister pop music can only go so far before making one feel uneasy and dubious.
.. and what's wrong with that 8o ?
UPDATE: What I meant by that was - and this is just a general observation rather than having a dig at your viewpoint -isn't it interesting to have something challenging to listen to that makes you feel "uneasy and dubious" rather than safe, cosy, and complacent?
I thought Bikini Atoll were great and energetic and conveyed real emotion and enjoyment of the music, the local boys Copy_haho done good, but Picastro had something particularly special and fragile. Absolutely Beautiful. And you can quote me on that.
Cheers Mike, Jenny and co. A cracking show.

that was so funny. neil in a suit is like a kid at a wedding.
Can you say that? What if someone reads your post and decides not to invite Neil to a wedding in case he eats too much ice-cream, runs round like he's got ADHD, and throws up on Great Auntie Morag? He could sue you for 100s in lost free food & drink. Opinions - can't have them on a forum
Now can someone explain this "thread" thing again: I've got as far as getting my USB cable through the eye of this needle...

Staten Island / Record Shop (not Staten Islan)
Not strictly true' date=' there's a lovely little museum of Tibetan art housed in a replica temple built in someone's garden.
[url']http://www.tibetanmuseum.org/
Means a half hour bus trip and a wander up a suburban side street but it's a lovely little oasis compared to the concrete pit that is the Staten Island ferry terminus/bus station
And for a great record shop try Downtown Music Gallery if you haven't already been - haven't visited since they moved to 342 Bowery [between E. 2nd & E. 3rd Streets] from a tiny basement on E5thSt but used to be a great place to spend a wet afternoon listening to great sounds

Wish I was there. Have a great time.
