Iraqi Anti-War protests? If so - me too!

I felt so dangerous having a police escort for me and about 20 others marching around campus. Afterwards, I felt very sad, as I'm sure the officers involved did too. I bet they wished we dug up the cobbles from the High Street and pelted them, just so they could earn their pay

It's a constant source of amusement.

Especially when I spill Guinness on my pashmina.

Hahaha, so long as it's not Babycham on your feather boa

Getting bands so long after they're cool is why Aberdeen is a music and fashion backwater, like Wigan, where mini skirts didn't break until 1972

i love that too

But I'm guessing you're not 6ft 2. I find one, on average, once every month, unless I return to same one over and over

Haha' date=' touche. Still managed to score 4 goals with a torn hamstring that day tho...

Which was, to be fair, 4 more than I managed. I value an assist higher

5. A Dunfermline win' date=' as rare as hen's teeth.[/quote']

Does that not provoke less of a smile, more of a series of ecstatic screams? I know that's why I didn't put "Aberdeen equalising in a game they should be winning"

You mean where the Balaclava Bar is? Loch Street?

Fuck no, beyond John Lewis. I must consult that online Aberdeen City map now

2. The down-to-earthness of the old drunks at my local pub.

What do they make of glamour sluts like yourself? Or do you avoid talking of your love of camp 50s b-movie starlets in their presence?

Mine:

1, Executing a spontaneous trick (while playing 5-aside football) with such precision that I'm 5 yards beyond the defender before I know what I've done

2, When Neon Lights ends and The Man-Machine begins on The Man Machine by Kraftwerk

3, When Dave plays something in Exodus that is totally unexpected but entirely welcome (the last example was "The End Of The World As We Know It" a couple of weeks ago)

4, When a new outfit is formed from the cobbling together of previously rejected items of the wardrobe

5, Finding a wall that's low enough for me to sit on, but high enough for me to dangle my legs and waggle my feet

Charlotte Street isn't a 'nice area', it's a shithole...

Sorry, I'm thinking of the wrong place. That street near John Lewis that has a cobbled road

Hmmm, he looks considerably more dynamic there than he appears on a 5-aside football pitch

I hope I've got that name right. Can anyone tell me anything about them, or is anyone a member of them? I don't know if they're from Aberdeen, but I presume they're from Scotland. All I know is they played the Lemon Tree a few months ago with Masamune and some others, and they were good. After thinking about it, they're even better, but I have heard no more of them

I agree and the start of I Lost Mt Hat reminds me of a certain other song misters Mariner and Narc.

"Kill the Moment"!, which in turn sounds like........Siva, was it? Luckily the rest of I Lost My Hat sounds nothing like either

I just got mugged last night on Charlotte street by three guys to kicked the shti out of me and stole my wallet (but not my mobile phone??)... And all i have to show for it is a badass black eye.

I hope you're OK. That's quite a nice area, which is worrying. How late at night was it?

Yeah, they had some good tunes and an explosive sound (especially for a 3-piece). Although they are from Glasgow, the singer looked like he could be in a brother of Cedric and Omar from At-The Drive In, which was apt considering they were the band they most sounded like

I gave them a listen. I only like "I Lost My Hat", but I really like it, because it is the only one which has a bit of dynamism about it, while also suiting the cool Velvet Underground style-vibe and apathetic vocal style better than the rest.

I thought "You and no-one else" was interesting and complex, but then it just peetered out. The other two are too much like the Pumpkins at their worst: squealing gutar licks and too much attitude. I wouldn't give up, though

*Sighs*

I wonder if they will come to Seville on tour' date=' purely for my benefit?[/quote']

Hahaha, denied, I shouldn't wonder

I'll go, but only to hear some Ukranian folk songs

Five more definitions of modernity:

Dentaku (live) - Kraftwerk

Kites - Associates

Syntax - colonopenbracket

Life's A Gamble - Penetration

Twilight Zone - John Cale

If we keep building individual buildings that we think look like the future, our idea of the future will change, and these buildings will still be out place. As an industrial area that is also an entrance to Aberdeen, the Harbour is the best place to start modernisation

oh so there are TWO going spare? I heard it was just the one.. in THAT case.. hold on to them!

No,no,no! I have no idea, he might have given them to someone else. Why are you so desperate? Is it sold out?

aye' date=' but i get the spare one! yes yes yes.[/quote']

Leif, Narc, Lizard King, me.....

Yes, it appears there is enough for you and a partner (presuming Narc's not going to be on your arm)

No' date=' don't like it. Fittie is a sweet little village, it's the rest of the place that needs to to be updated. Or flattened.[/quote']

This glass-fronted structure does a decent job of updating it, does it not? Bit i suppose it stands out amongst its immeditate surroundings

ha ha ha' date=' clever boy. i'll take them[/quote']

No, my name's on one of them (not literally)

Yeah I totally agree but it's possible to think on first listen that bands opening song is nowt special and then further down the line think it's mindblowing but at previous gigs have chosen to speak thru their set' date=' missing it yourself and ruining it for others.[/quote']

Bench? You bastard

pere ubu-the modern dance

Where did you get this? And is it worth buying? "30 Seconds Over Tokyo" is superb, whereas "Non-Alignment Pact" is bollocks. They may not be on the album, but they're the only 2 I've heard

3. Killing Joke - Follow the Leaders

4. M83 - Teen Angst

Glad to see you've taken in the latest C90

However, choosing 2 tracks by the same artist defeats the purpose

1, Wild Wild Life - Talking Heads

2, Silent Command - Cabaret Voltaire

3, These Days - Joy Division

4, Definitive Gaze - Magazine

5, A Better Future - David Bowie

The sound of the future, yesterday!
