666

Is that a boy or a girl? It's impossible to tell either way. What the hell is it?

i dont know!

i just take the picture...thats all.

but surely if bands like Korn, Disturbed, Rammstein, Linkin Park etc are still selling loads of albums and still around and touring then it cant be dead. smaller yes but not dead.

Disclaimer: I am in no way endorsing nu-metal.

all these bands aren't "really" "selling" albums anymore.....did korn not get dropped from their label epic (?) sometime after untouchables?

they hadn't really recovered after that other album.

in fact, most bands who have been dropped by their labels faded into music obscurity..umm, Silverchair anyone!? a bit off topic maybe...

she is on the front cover of the NME as well this week!

i might actually go and buy it now...

Incubus

Linkin Park

Limp Bizkit

Papa Roach

P.O.D.

or Slipknot

just out of curiosity, what do you guys think?

or was it the "hardcore scene" like....uh...killswith engage??!?

or maybe alien cows from outer space??

(if you don't care please don't feel free to let us know - its the same as not replying)

Unconvinced. If I played myself saying "Rabbit" on a loop it would be catchy, but not necesarrily good.

But yeah, I probabaly would. If she didn't talk.

it's all about the music, innit

how can you people not love such a loveable and cute face?

(plus the fact that people are buying her music...)

Lots of the people in your photos look like assholes. Is that a camera trick?

only if you want it to be!

kate nash has been quite popular in the "scene" for a while before she got radio play and record deals and all.

compared to lily allen (yes, when i first heard her songs, i too immediately thought lily allen too) she has credibility and songwriting skills.

i do quite like her music and image.

jesus, couldn't you just post the link?

way to hijack someone elses thread.

i just posted a few of my favourites

i was going to make each one link to that photo, but that would have taken daaaayyys. well, maybe im exaggerating....

Gee whizz 666, you didn't even manage swooshy trails of light in your photographs. Poor show.

swooshy trails of light? where??

i heart flickr

Except...that monk isn't a terrorist.

well....yeah.

but that's not the point.

this guy had beliefs and guts!

wow, that dog looks pumped.

to be honest, i dont think theres any gene manipulation involved here, its just been working out like f***!

with one of those, you could traverse safely through all of aberdeen's ghettos.

yup, i think there may be a market here.

thistle reprographics on holburn street do it.

i'd like to say you can't miss it, but that's a bit of a lie really...

the latest twist in the story is that these guys were pumped on horse tranquilizer or something along those lines. which is a good explanation to me about how they didn't mind being on fire.

but really, these so-called "terrorists" are a bunch of pussies.

this is the real shizz:

I think the point of this post is: what did he actually do? He stepped in on a fight basically. He did a decent thing, helped out a guy who was out numbered, which is commendable, but it's not like he single handedly stopped the attack. If he'd swerved his car into that of the terrorists, thus diverting the whole thing then fair enough, but it's a bit much hailing him as a hero just because he chucked down his tab and lunged into a fight.

The pledge to buy him 1000 pints makes me laugh too. Could this story get more stereotypically scottish? Working class guy gets involved in a fight and is rewarded with copious amounts of booze

/rant and snobbery

yes! this was kind of my point. but the smeaton dude didn't even step into a fight. as far as the papers are concerned, he did nothing more than condemn that puny attempt at "terrorism".

Is he not going to use a portion of the pints for a staff night out, and then donate the rest of the money to charity?

Also, I think it's a little condescending to say that he just 'stepped into a fight,' a burning man who is attacking people and trying to blow up a vehicle is a little more elaborate and dangerous than Justice Mill Lane at 3am. And how is swerving a car into their car preventing the whole thing? The car just crashed into a wall!

though in all honesty, i don't think this burning man was in any shape to attack anyone. haha.

Been a rough day I take it?

oh no no....there has just been nothing this year that annoyed me so much as far as how gullible some of the media organisations think us.

now that you mention it, i had to copy a john smeaton poster at work today.

i havent been this miserable since the goth crusade in 1969.

most people dont know about it because it got vastly overshadowed by woodstock.

the IRONY is unbearable.

Yeah, so what's the deal with this dude again?

That week the "terrorist attack" at Glasgow airport happened, I recall two different people stealing the cover-pages of some daily/weekly newspapers.

The first "hero" claimed he "kicked burning terrorist so hard in the balls that he tore a tendon in his foot".

Well done. Not only has he made the headlines, but he also got the people's brownie points by kicking a terrorist. I think we should maybe give him a bit more sympathy too. Especially after he returned to his car after the ordeal to find a parking fine attached to the windscreen wiper. Screw those authority types, I'm a HERO goddamnit!!

What I really like here is how some "dude" can tell the difference between a terrorist attack and an acident in a city where you get terrorist attacks as often as airplanes accidentally fly into mulit-storey buildings. Oops.

So now, remember...if you see a burning human being, don't put them out...kick them between the legs!!!

Fast forward a day or two and a few more headlines and here we have another "dude" making the headlines for an incident that is now a few days old.

What was his name again....John Smeaton, yeah? Good.

Apparently, this man became a hero overnight. He's got like his own websites, and t-shirt brand and other memoribilia.

He REALLY showed that terrorist who's boss! Though the only thing that seemed to have escaped me is what it actually was that he DID to become the everyday-hero. After intensely studying the two or three pages the Daily Record devoted to John Smeaton, I failed to notice an account of his actions. Was it verbal abuse? He must have talked some right sense into that terrorist, innit.

I was actually considering speaking up to the papers about how I gave one of them terrorist the most evil of evil looks right there. But I think my alibi would have been pretty bad. Oh well. Next time, eh?

if you have one, i'd be happy to buy it off you

let me know.

i dont care about ticket prices for quality acts such as the Blood Brothers. hell, i would have payed 20 to see them in aberdeen.

and they were pretty much everything i had hoped for. if anyone feels a bit let down, then its probably not the bands fault that they felt uncomfortable infront of a more or less passive audience.

if hands in your pockets could kill, the gig would have been a massacre.

good fun...good fun.

thanks people.

the advice is all well and sound, but no use for someone who isn't a circuitry wizard....does anyone know someone who does repair keyboards or something like that?
