  1. The Go! Team on at the same time as Interpol sucks. I guess they think Interpol fans aren't happy enough to enjoy The Go! Team, but they must be the pest party band there is. Can anyone recommend any of these unknown bands that are on early in the afternoon?
  2. Hello danny-bhoy? I'm ready to start haggling
  3. What happened to all those people who were certs for Sunday? At least their no-show left only the elite of me, jsmith, leif, narc, neil ex, zippy, not birdman, and a fleeting appearance by cloud aka Stipe Pletikosa
  4. Dadrock! I knew it! 1, China Girl - David Bowie 2, Rhythm of Cruelty - Magazine 3, Switch - Siouxsie and the Banshees 4, Missiles (live) - The Sound 5, Time - The Chameleons
  5. Could it be possible to make it so that users can see all the posts they have made in the gallery (as you can with the threads)? It's an awful hassle trying to find them again
  6. Anything which makes people think more about city planning is a good thing. It used to be said that Labour councils in Aberdeen neglected the arts, because they thought housing was as far as their remit extended. They could have combined housing and the arts in city planning. Architecture is the most popular of the art forms because you're exposed to it everyday. It should be treated as such
  7. Zeenat, are you able to tell by ear whether a song has good enough sound quality?
  8. Step aside people! I, as ever, have the answer, and it has nothing to do with fun on the part of the peformers (why are we talking as if they're the focus of what we're doing here?): Music - whether it be popular or classical - is at its most potent in a live context precisely because the audience has come with the purpose of experiencing it. You may listen to a recording while doing something else: reading, making your bed, washing dishes, talking. Does anyone put on a CD and sit down on an upright chair and stare at the wall for an hour? I actually used to, before I realised there is nothing I listen to that is worth such attention, and destractions were always unavoidable. At a concert you can both concentrate on the music and experience the show and the crowd. Furthermore, Gridlock, you talk as if pop music (by this I mean anything that is not classical. Fuck you and your childish sub-categories) only exists as the sound on a CD. This is to take it too seriously as an artistic product. It is a social concept because of the mass-market possibilities of both the recording and the live performance. If you treat it as a private pleasure, well I can only laugh at you
  9. I did Politics and IR in 1st year. I don't remember you, but then I didn't stick it for very long Did you European Cinema for Film Studies? I was thinking of doing it in 2nd year (I had to repeat 1st year)
  10. Hahahaa, we have a winner! It also doubles as my pet name for my shooting boots
  11. fuckshitbollocksbrabumtitsarse 2 Achieved, 1 Not Achieved. Only 1 mark in it! Of course, as these marks are not only dependent on the exam, it's hard to say what might have changed: getting 20/20 for TAM by attending all the tutorials, or answering 1 more question in the exam rather than playing with my hair might have done it. Whatever. the month of August is ruined for me
  12. Re: This may be a stupid question, but is the sound quality we're talking about determined by the recording of the song, or the uploading of the song?
  13. I have another question: Why was Kevin not alerted to Hartigans presence on the farm, when he came to rescue Nancy? He was shown to be there at the same time. Why show him at all?
  14. That happened to me last time. Now that's it grown, I'm left looking ever so slightly monastic. Hence another trip is required (ps.s Things We Long Forgot is one of my fave albums)
  15. 6.50 for students at the Barbers Pole. I'll be going on Friday, probably. They take their time if they think it's worth it, which they generally do with such a fine head of hair as my own
  16. Can I give an honourary mention to former adviser to Gordon Brown: Ed Balls? Thank you
  17. Royal Ascot. When Wimbledon starts, we're going to be seeing a lot more posh, land-owning English, and a lot less suburban, barbecue-owning Australians
