Steve Temple

I'm guessing it was Niall that did Slow Hands. I'm here to tell you Steven Milne beat you to the idea of a sincere acoustic cover of an Interpol song. Was still good, tho

Much respect to Your Doctor, and his dad. What did he play? APB fans in America have tried to get their records re-released, and there has also been an attempt to get bands who are fans of them to do a tribute CD. It was Iain Slater who met Radio 4, and he also bumped into two members of Fun Lovin' Criminals, who are also big fans, and they said they would do "Shoot You Down" for it. That may not come to anything, tho So do you agree that they are Aberdeen's most successful band? I suggested that to my dad (who works with the drummer George, the family friend in question) and he suggested a band called The Palace. I suggested Hedgehog Pie, and he laughed

Glad to hear it. You could make a great deal of money were you to choose to. There is one song that listeners to a New York radio station consistently put in their equivalent of the "festive fifty". I presume it is "Shoot You Down"

...were apb. Does anyone remember them, or has anyone discovered them since their early 80s heyday? It's unlikely, since their records are unavailable, save a copy of their "Something to believe in" album being sold for 350.19 on Amazon Marketplace. Listening to the samples available there, I can tell Radio 4 stole their whole idea from them. I can be certain of this, as a former member recently met Radio 4, who said they were big fans of apb, and couldn't believe they were in the presence of said member. Their drummer is a friend of the popTart family, and I hear many tales from their period of success, and of their enduring popularity in America

I hope so, but I fear not

Agenda Suicide isn't all that, Glass Danse should be their signature song The pity was they played just after noon, to a sober crowd who were standing on grass, because they are one of the best bands to dance to

Yes. Their time may have come and gone (they were part of the 2002/3 yankee disco-punk crowd), but they were still just about the best act I saw at T in the Park this year

Are Jinx on first or last?

P.S i haven't met that many, but I know this because - yes - I ONCE WAS A PINK FLOYD FAN MYSELF

Pretentiousness and a tendency to treat what gets called "music" on these pages far more importantly than it deserves as an art form, rather than as a facet of popular culture

NO! It doesn't exist. Never use that phrase again

I'm Stephen. Infact, I may have met you, what's your name? He bitches to your face, so he says, when you complain about The Sex Pistols being rubbish because no skill went into what they do

No, but I know Larsen B, and I hear some of the things you say to him at work. It's nothing personal, but knowing someone is a Pink Floyd fan immediately suggests certain things to me. Anyway, Hatred, they were a laugh, eh?

I wouldn't expect a Pink Floyd fan to understand the importance of image for a young band. I certainly wouldn't expect a Pink Floyd fan to accuse anyone else of being pretentious. He looked cool. I wish I had had the chutzpah to have such an outrageous look when I was his age

Fucking hell guys, they're 14 or whatever, they're rehearsing infront of one their mums in her living room, do they really deserve your ire? No, we've all done what they've done, or if you haven't then you've never tasted the juvenile enthusiasm that defines pop I thought it was darling. And they had great tunes

It's already done I also danced to them (at Exodus). So long as they offer the possibilty of that, rather than "artistic basslines", I'll give them a chance

That happened only once! Or, rather, every time the floor becomes too cramped to throw a star jump, when Dave starts spinning 9-month old festival anthems. Between 00.30-02.00 we own the dancefloor

I hope a venue like this does appear, not because I'd want to visit, but because it would drain Exodus of those who don't go to dance, but instead stand around trying to have conversations over the banging tunes, and block the bar ordering pints of piss, and block the toilets as they get rid of the Tennents

State of Alert - Radio 4 Sugar - Ladytron Inaction - We Are Scientists Suffragette City - Scissor Sisters and Franz Ferdinand The Fruity Track - Lemon Jelly (I know the techno-boffin duo is the 2nd worst idea in pop history - after post-rock - but this is possibly the most danceable track ever created)

Gigs should provide the best platform for dancing, yet some bands insist on playing post-rock, possibly just to thwart me
