Flybe being the only way quick way to get to Cardiff, it took about 20 minutes to fill out their fucking booking form.

Did you see me look longingly at the sofa, then grab a chair and get in everyone's way? I was so tired.

Oh yeah, you bumped into me around there getting a chair.

Rungs were fantastic, hope they're up this way again soon!

This in November. It's a shame ATP is ending but this is quite a line up to go out on. Seen most of the bands before but Television should be something special.

One of the expensive electric hybrid route 59 buses has been damaged after an idiot decided to crash right into the bus, arsehole causing tailbacks. He is in hospital so you know where he is if you want your own back.

What is wrong with you?

Looking forward to this! Question is can I binge 5 hours of new arrested development beforehand??

Mitch says not to binge them. As if.

Off to Laaaaandaaaaan

 

Friday: Warner Bros studio tour for the Harry Potter stuff, not my choice but should be proper geek fun.  followed by pizza and drinks.

Saturday: Field Day!  get to see Chvrches, Do Make Say Think and heaps of other ace folk. and have pints.

Sunday: probably more pints, some ace food and a wander.

Monday: visit a museum or somthing then fly back to the deen. 

 

it's going to be rad.

You should try and see the David Bowie exhibition at the V&A if you can fit it in. It's sold out on the site but there are tickets available on the day. If you're even slightly a Bowie geek it's worth it.

Deerhunter - Halcyon Digest (on white vinyl) and Monomania

Mikal Cronin - MCII

Pye Corner Audio -  Superstitious Century (on yellow vinyl)

Vangelis - Blade Runner (on red vinyl)

Dinosaur Jr. - Bug (original pressing)

There is now a proper poster for this, cor. You should be seeing them up around town soon. If you don't manage to nick one from Thains after a heavy night of drinking we should hopefully have some on the night to take away as souvenirs.

The new Mikal Cronin album is a belter. Shades of Brendan Benson/Jason Falkner/Apples in Stereo. Great summer listening.

HMV on Union Street now have a Street Fighter 2 and an AC/DC pinball machine on the ground floor.

Set times for tonight.

CS Buchan - 8:00-8:30
Kitchen Cynics - 8:45-9:15
Alasdair Roberts -

Set 1 - 9:30-10:15

Set 2 - 10:30-11:15

Can't get annoyed at someone for wanting to promote shows...on a music forum.

I'm not annoyed at that, just the way it's dumped loads of posts on the page bumping everything else to oblivion.

Songkick shiteing up the gig forum.

you're probably better off checking ebay

I think there are only 3 in the world, they turned up in London, Tokyo and New York.

Weekend 1 for sure. The ATP deposit scheme is the way to go if like any normal person you don't have wheelbarrows full of money available.

I'd like to see PAWS or Hubby win it but realistically Django Django will probably get it due to the hype.

Ha, I said earlier that I bet the Cavern got one of the copies of the Boards Of Canada record.

I was tempted to take the morning off work and have a look there. I'm going to kick myself to death if it does actually turn up there.

This is coming up soon!

Tickets can be obtained from Cafe Drummonds or online at http://www.wegottickets.com/event/212063

Alasdair was recently on The Verb on BBC Radio 3. He played a few songs and had a chat about his song writing. Have a listen starting 9 minutes in here - http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b01rr926/The_Verb_The_Verb_with_Kevin_Jackson_Taiye_Selasi_Robin_Robertson_and_Alasdair_Roberts/

Chiquito are now trialling breakfast at their Union Square restaurant, not the beach one.

They're trialling the concept of breakfast? That's ambitious.
