  1. Static in the City and Theatrefall play Liquid nightclub (of all places) tonight, September 27th 2007. ~A new "indie" night Liquid are hosting - but not promoting - promises to be a busy good atmosphere with 1 drinks!

    Maybe not everyones choice to see a band but come along and give it a shot, promises to be good. Static in the City will be playing to impress after a poor performance at their last gig at the Tunnels (anyone who attended will understand). Check us out at www.myspace.com/staticinthecity for tunes.

    I'm afraid I'm a merely the SitC drummer and don't really know all the details but thought I should put something up anyway.

    cheers, Dallas of SitC

  2. Well I'm currently meant to be studying from "Economics" by Parkin, Powell and Matthews as I have a presentation to do at midday tomorrow. It's actually quite interesting if you're a "saddo" as they say. Or if you're a keen intelect like I'm sure many of you are. Me though, I want a bloody pint of lager really badly.

    ...and again for impact: Really badly.

  3. "The Prayer" is not a good song IMO. The guys voice is shockingly bad and if ever there was a song that just goes nowhere, it is this one. I didn't really like their first album either but that song that often comes on in exodus where the guitar pans between speakers on every beat - "cos I'm on fire" ("banquet" maybe) - is definitely a cracker.

    Good drummer, shit singer.

  4. Bill Hicks makes me sick to my stomach. What a horrible bastard he is, he's just so fucking conceited and - at a stretch - supercilious. Maybe I'm not as bright at all you folk that like him, maybe I just dont get it, but I really despise him and he makes me feel sad; not happy like a comedian should. This upsets me as he was a huge influence on Tool - who are one of my very favourite bands - and I feel like a bit of a "cop-out" for this reason. I agree with him on many points (religion as an example) but I think he sholud have had slightly more respect for other people. Que arty-farty folk: "but he's expressing himself, he speaks the truth man!" Fair enough but shh.

    anyway.

    Bill Bailey makes me laugh out loud, the Mighty Boosh, Billy Connelly (Connely/Conelly), Lee Evans, Reeves and Mortimer yadayadayada.

    Saw Andrew "King of Comedy" Maxwell at The Lemon Tree and thought he was pretty funny as well.

  5. Song of the year: Makedamnsure - TBS

    Album of the year: Pearl Jam - Pearl Jam

    Best gig: Pearl Jam on holiday in Barcelona. Best gig ever!

    Number of travels:What?

    Number of hearts broken: 4

    Best moment this year: My nephew's birth.

    Worst moment of the year: My gran being ill.

    Best sexual moment: Fresher's week as a whole.

    Best tv show: Scrubs.

    Best party: too many to decide.

    Most embarrasing moment: My birthday party.

    Was most happy when: With my 3 best mates singing "Animal" at the top of our lungs in Barcelona. Honestly, best gig ever.

    Was least happy when: Guy from my school died in car crash.

  6. Shite. It's really boring and as Hog stated: "uninspiring TV for the masses". Like most telly then.

    You know, I was channel flicking the other day and noticed that 3 out of 5 of the terrestrial channels were showing programmes where "celebrities" are doing something they don't ussually do. Two of them had these C-list celebrities bloody singing! Tess "bang my mouth" Dailly was hosting one where the celebrity teams up with an actual singer to do a duet (just like the Strictly Dancing one) which was unbelievably cack. This funny looking guy and some opera chick did a song from Phantom of the Opera which was truly awful. Needless to say I quickly turned it off and went upstairs to hurt myself.

    The third one was celebrity Big Brother.

    People, don't watch this stuff. It merely encourages this farcical celebrity culture that we live in today (i.e. look at that bird from Atomic Kittens new pencil. It's a steadtler! Can you believe it? She got it in WHSmith most likely to write with). Obviously there's no stopping it but, well, make an effort or something.

    Yeh so, Deal or No Deal. Shit.

  7. In absolutely no order:

    1. Matt Cameron (Pearl Jam/ Soundgarden)

    2. Travis Barker (Blink 182)

    3. Danney Carey (Tool)

    4. Chad Smith (RHCP)

    5. Dave Grohl (you know him)

    wait....

    6. Taylor Hawkins (Foo Fighters)

    7. Jimmy Chamberlin (Smashing Pumpkins (although he's a cunt))

    8. Joey Jordison (Slipknot)

    9. Bobby Schayer (Bad Religion)

    10. Nick Schoely (My Mind's Weapon)

    ok, so 2 top fives.

  8. Going back to Banchory for 3 weeks to do the following:

    1. Se my friends, family & dog

    2. Buy Pro Ev 6 and play that a lot

    3. Frequent the stag

    4. Buy Smackdown vs Raw 2007 and play that a bit

    5. Work the odd shift at my old work.

    6. Study for my exams in January

    7. Try and have sex a lot.

    It's going to be about 10% work and 90% play; according to my calculations. Can't wait! Now backto my investment and finance report.

  9. Has anyone seen "Brotherhood of the Wolf"? It's a french action movie and it has some great stuff in it. I'm not dismissing an interesting plot when I say it's not entirely thought-provoking, but the fight scenes are just totally........... I'm gonna say it................................... AWESOME!

    Mark Dacascos and Samuel Le Bihan make an awesome team with nice gritty fighting from the latter and impressive kung-fu from Dacascos (one time American and European karate champion, or something).

    See this movie, it's cool.
