imagine charging £1 for a shot of cordial and £2 for a pint of coke (the syrup stuff) *ahem*

thats a cracking poster like

sounds like you need to give him a lesson in volume at 4am

ill see you then chilli you can bring my christmas bottle along then

out in montrose it was funny next

you had better brush up on your ability to handle hecklers

gaan doon the moorings 5pm this evening for the mother of all sessions

i cant read that last message you typed cloud, to stop me from getting wound up by you again i have put you on my ignore list lalalalalala toys prams etc lalalalalala you do your thing an ill do my one

i liked that split

he was in desalvo and fretlin (although i think fretlin have split now) before the idlewild thing, both having supported idlewild on tours n stuff he was always mates with them and that led to him joining alex from desalvo actually stood in for bob when he left on bass.

is this boy for real????????????? cloud, you talk like you are some big shot businessman or something. talking of food chains, survival and general smart thinkign with gigs, can i draw your attention to this....

classic

i never got personal there

nah its closed i think

their second album had lots of similar electronics/synths etc and the vocals are similar too it was abit of a lazy comparison to be honest

by a fucking mile, i am consistently being blown away by gigs. i find it harder and harder to get impressed but many of the awesome international acts/touring bands/outta towners and even some local acts are settign higher and higher standards for aberdeen ill give you that, but it pays to look further than commercial success etc we are not looking at abdns music scene as a business, we are looking at it as a music scene, and regardless of capacity venues, i think we are doign great. great bands, more people goign to gigs, better gigs. venues are not goign to become capacity over night. aberdeen is a relatively small place, but i think we are holding hour own quite admirably against the likes of glasgow/edinburgh. more and more touring bands are saying aberdeen "best gig of the tour" etc people paying money to go to gigs, cheer, have fun and buy merch from bands. fuck thats the worst thing ever for the scene. get a fucking clue as i said before the scene is not a business. music scenes are generally abotu music an dpeople who love music. im biting my lip here. i dont want to get banned again but this statement and you in general make my blood boil

i remember the days in drakes when abody used to sit/stand and nae move about looking bored as fuck. didnt look like they enjoyed themselves

yeah i really like them them. remind me of the cooper temple clause

empire builder, ganger, life without buildings, aereogramme, el hombre trajaedo, g plan, cayto, eska, uter, il casio illuminitas, scatter have all be associated/dabbled in glasgow post rock scene over the years these are all pretty established bands as far as scotland goes, im sure there are a whole load more

who is on last??

this aint vegas "the night don benito saved my life" oceansize "everyone into position" lightning bolt "hypermagic mountain" forgot about spyamp GTI - an absolute corker of an album! full of quirky power pop/punk tunes with hooks to die for!

you annoy me, all you ever do is go on about the "old days" and how great they were from what i could tell, the "old days" were gash, the gigs were boring all-local band line ups, the same bands and the same old faces that went to gigs. correct me if im wrong, but i think things have changed a lot now, and for the better! there might be less of an insular music scene, but in terms of the quality acts coming to aberdeen for the first time (and coming back) thanks to the likes of RFR/moshulu, interesting music promotions, arkade, GFN, the tunnels etc things are better than they ever have been. lots of new faces coming to shows, more venues, more diversity and more risks taken which brings me to my point.....in essence there are less "scenesters" and more music loving people going to gigs. from what i have noticed a lot of people who actually go to gigs regularly barely use this board perhaps these "scenester thingys" that you talk of are the keyboard jockeys that post on here but never actually go to gigs unless their friends are playing, a la popnotmyface etc

oh dear!!
