I saw a "Genevieve" on a 2nd year English tutorial list. It brightened my day no end

I heard "Nine" and thought it was good but last years thing, then i heard "Thirteen" and thought it was too wilfully perverse, but I grew to love it. Last night I heard their new single on Radio 1, and I'm totally sold. I'm looking forward (!) to this gig as much as the upcoming Franz Ferdinand, Arab Strap and Maximo Park ones

Aye. We heard them...from the bar

I want to see Rescue Party properly (having caught the tail end of their set supporting We Are Scientists), but not in that shit-hole. Are you ever gonna play another venue?

Student assistant (ie, lackey) at Queen Mother Library. 5.05 an hour! For...5 hours a week! So I earn less than I spend most weekends. Not an accountancy major, me

I knew it! God, I'm glad someone does

Only if you think "punk" and "indie" are sounds, rather than ideas, and if you DO, im not gonna buy you a pint of something suitable at the Aberfeldy gig. As ideas, they're the same thing

It's just another way of communicating that's replacing intimicacy. Recently, amongst my contacts, one relationship has been ended and one relationship has been inadvertantly fucked-up via MSN. You can't be sincere when talking on there, firstly because it's impossible to tell when someone is being sincere, and also because it can't have the desired impact without physical contact. But im just bitter

It's interesting, indie means punk which means pop, so I don't think there are any actual indie bands in Aberdeen, ie bands which would consider getting on TOTP an aim rather than something to purposefully avoid. There is no Aberdeen equivalent to Edinburgh's Thee Comrades, or if there is I havent seen them I suppose The Videos are the honourable exception. Maybe Rescue Party, tho I havent heard enough of them Tho rest assured, if we ever make it out of our pit of love and homework, Beton Brute will be a band that will strive for TOTP exposure

As with blogs, I think it is amazingly arrogant to think that other people should care enough about you to want to read all about your life. Myspace users just chat to people they are seeing everyday anyway, or people they will never meet. I find it and the whole MSN thing repulsive Feel free to add me, btw

I saw that and thought it was the most unnecessary thing in the world, and I haven't even heard them. Then I saw they cover a Cocteau Twins song, and was intrigued. Is that any good?

Of course, Joy Division are one of the best bands of all time, but I'm ashamed that I grew up listening to and being influenced by bands that expired before I was born like JD and The Smiths, rather than bands who were happening at the time, because I don't like to see kids now going about Nirvana and The Pixies, rather than We Are Scientists and Maximo Park. That said, "The Ve" can be seen on my bedpost, where I started carving The Verve, but gave up, so my 14 year-old self wasn't all bad

God damn you. I noticed The Rakes were looking to have local support for each date of their tour, and I imagined it would be the perfect bow for my band. But I'm a dreamer and you're a do-er. Well done

That is so sweet! Just the scenario, and the fact it gets called twee. It just brings to mind great Scottish art like Gregory's Girl or an Arab Strap song. If you're at this gig, I'll buy you a pint of something suitable, for being decent enough to fancy a lassy

What a great title! Words to live by. Or, a notion to live by

Though I'm ashamed of it now, if my dad had never played Joy Division when I was growing up, I would never have wanted to be in a band, and I probably wouldn't even use this forum

I hate it when L'il Kim says "biggest sex symbol since Janet", when no-one knows who she is over here, and Janet Jackson was never a sex-symbol. A deviant sex symbol, maybe. And the whole shout out thing to every city in America has already been done on some piece of shit by Ice Cube

Well, you're obviously good at keeping your cool, so you'll go far

The poster at One Up says they are actually playing a set. Which might provide compensation for those daft enough to lose their ticket

Usual question: can you pay on the door?

If you're determined to suffer life, go ahead, but stop moaning to The Wasteland about it

I'd suggest the problem is your own, not the world's

My best effort was when I went as the Tin Man from the Wizard of Oz. My mum wrapped me in foil so I couldn't walk, and painted my face silver so I couldn't breath. So I didn't get much candy. I recommend it for all you fatsos out there

It was clear. To me
