Old Gold

Yeaah, it has got a bit of a 'Red Sky' feel...

That is really really good. How the hell do they keep doing it??

I dread to think who may reply to this, but y'never know... I might hit a winner. I play guitar (fender strat single coils mostly), and I'm a pretty decent singer. I can play a variety of stuff, ranging from gypsy jazz acoustic to nice crunchy riffage. I'm not speedy on the lead, but I'm not into churning out thrash metal anyway. The sort of band I'd be into joining would be at least in part influenced by any of the following: (international) Noise Conspiracy, Tom Waits, Death Cab For Cutie, Dinosaur Jr, Echo and the Bunnymen, Crash test Dummies, Polyphonic Spree, Sublime, Elvis Costello, Rufio, Jetplane Landing, Nightmare of You, Rancid. (Don't get me wrong, I like many other styles of music. This is just the kind of stuff I'd be interested in playing right now). Ideally I'd want to join a band that's already formed and slightly experienced. I've had a spot of bad luck with forming bands lately, and need someone else taking the reins for a change. More personal information: I'm 19, an English Lit student (lots of time on my hands), live in Aberdeen 100% of the year pretty much. Any other questions, give us a quick bell. Cheers

That's wrong on one very big level.

Does said drummer have to have any major influences or characteristics? Or do chimps with a half chewed drumstick between their teeth qualify?

Altens Such a lovely place to work. My job can be kinda boring... painting vacuum units... drilling holes in walls.... But I get the odd bit of fun hoorin' around in a pickup truck or demolishing things.

You'll thank yourself later.

I studied him for Higher Art a few years back... feckin' marvelous artist. And a fucking nut

I say they let Lou loose on that gaggle of Nuns. That would be one hot half hour.

I was listening to Radio Scotland talking about the ol' exam results in the car this morning. Glad I've not got to go through all that again... for some reason Uni results are nowhere near as nerve racking. On another point, my sister did amazingly in her highers, therefore I hate her.

Sky is getting her fucking oats tonight...

That was a preeeetty fucking groovy gig. I'm sorry I had to leave early thus missing the mighty Upstarts, but what I caught was marvelous. 5FD: best I've seen them yet. Mike Park: come back sometime... yer bloody great.

Nah, nothing beats getting attacked by little people.

Oiii, spoiling it, eh? Bree becoming a goth... shudder. That means her wee tart of a boyfriend is going to follow suit because he's an impressionable little bollocks.

Haha, would that not be a little bit cheeky?

I have been looking about for a piano teacher. Only one I really found close by was 'Ronald Leith Piano Tuition', which is just around the corner. Anybody had any experience of him? Would he be able to teach Jazz and Blues above Classical stuff? Otherwise, any other suggestions for teachers? I'm at a bit of a loss.

You sold out to the Prog with this one Bob. "I think a little of that has rubbed off on me too!"

"While Mary Jane busied herself with a saucy three in a bed romp featuring Captain America and The Silver Surfer, Spidey mentally plotted his e-mail to The Suns' Dear Dierdre column."

That one's gonna be in my head all fucking night. I gotta say, I love the Cash, but at least you only took the piss out of that song. Not a big fan of it.

Grant was using my pc, so it'll be a while 'til he can get back to you. Don;t worry though, I'll pass on the message. Hang tight

Legalising drugs would keep prices down, meaning less mugging and robbery to feed habits, and generally making the position of drug dealer obsolete. If somebody wants drugs under the current laws, it's really not that hard to get 'em illegally anyway. Might as well just keep them sensibley regulated. Also, to (near) quote Renton from Trainspotting: "We'd take vitamin C if they made it illegal." If something's not allowed, it gets a certain romanticism assosciated with it... forbidden love and all that. With people free to make their own choice, it's quite likely that they would choose the chance to stay clean. In another bullet point, the hemp trade would also be free to sell all natural, very useful items. 'Course, this is mere speculation, and it could all go the completely opposite way if brought into effect: Junkies scattering the streets... Pete Doherty being forced to start eating sherbet fountains in a bid to grab headlines... Tesco being short staffed due to exhaustion from filling up the cheap sweets so frequently, as stoned teenagers queue out the door for a munchies fix. Outlawing religion... difficult. Maybe organized religion... but what would happen to the Vatican's Nazi Gold? Give it to Bernardos?

The w800i's been around for three years? o_O I think you're talking a pile of shit. I woulda defended my choice of phone too until it started going head over tit. It's a very good phone with lots of bells and whistles, but It's giving me a fair bit of grief at the moment.
