  1. Ancient 13MB version of Cakewalk (Pro Audio 9) running with a Soundblaster X-Fi on my fragile PC. Got some version of Sonar, but too scared to use it. I have an SM57 and a TC Helicon Create for vocals and Zoom B2/G2 pedals for bass and guitar. I programme drums and MIDI instruments (strings, brass, etc) using the piano roll (dragging blocks about a piano sceen). Got a DVD full of soundfonts of of ebay for a tenner to make it sound a wee bit more realistic. Budget recording for demos and such. Recorded the Belloc's Bar album with this set up (on MySpace and Facebook and such).

  2. Styx at Draconian. My latest one was a spur of the moment little wee holiday souvenir tattoo while on the beach in Bulgaria. There's a tattooist on every corner of the resort I was at, no shit there must be about 40 tattoo shops in a place the size of Fraserburgh. So chances of them all being good tattooist are remote. As I found out when I came home with this on my back.

    You should get that one expanded into a fruit machine/bandit theme. You know, a bit like folk who get cards or dice, but something that says Blackpool.

  3. please for the love of my ingorance quote my contractions

    as i said i was exploring all possiblities form both sides, i'm not for or against anyone with this matter

    you are taking my view on this matter as a personal attack, grow up. and did i said your at home typing up all day like the little scenario you typed?, pfft Nope all i said was "stop wasting your time", you decided to take that as an attack upon you, as you managed to create this whole comical vision of you being some whiner on the internet typing his heart out. you are creating the monster that you are portraying not me!

    i couldn't really care less if you get your amp fixed just as much as I couldn't really care less if R&B got sued

    as for the jumper, thing, it was totally unintentional to put "wooly" in there

    maybe your over active minde read far to much into what im trying to say.

    That's by the by, how about the lass that works in the Foyer?

  4. Ah Dennis Nilsen, Fraserburgh's favourite son.....

    I used to work with his brother. Nice guy, dodgy tash and syrup combo though.

    There's a book called "KIlling For Company" which is all about him and goes into great depth about every murder. It's a very interesting read.

    Here you go, Amazon marketplace for 1p.

    Amazon.co.uk: Used and New: Killing For Company: Case of Dennis Nilsen

    He was Britains worst serial killer until Shipman came in and stole the crown, fact fans.

    Cobra Kai have a song about him that's never been heard outside the rehearsal room because it isn't very good. It's called "The History Of A Drowning Boy", which was the name of the memoirs that he wrote while in prison, he tried to have them published but the courts wouldn't allow it.

    I know a little bit too much about Dennis Nilsen. I've had a weird life-long fascination with serial killers, I like to read books about them, Shipman, Fred West, Ed Gein etc. Plus he's from my town, whcih makes it more interesting, in a morbid way.

    It's a good song, we should stick it on the album as "odds and sods that didn't make it". Magic guitar solo, likes. I reckon some local punk outfit should do a cover of the Sex Pistols Belsen one and reimagine it as Nilsen Was a Brocher. Choice.

  5. I was a hyooooooooooooooge fan in my teens, I absolutely worshipped the fuckers - The Uplift Mofo Party Plan, Mother's Milk, Blood Sugar Sex Magic and One Hot Minute are all superb albums IMO. Then they took four years off, got back on smack, sacked Dave Navarro, got off smack again, and came back shit.

    EDIT - Actually Californication isn't that bad, though the production is horrible, it's all spikey and distorted. What is it they call it, "clipping" or something? They fucked it up anyway, it's so distorted it's almost unlistenable. By The Way and Stadium Arcadium can get tae.

    EDIT EDIT - I miss when the Chilis were doing ace funk rock with lyrics all about drugs and fucking, instead of just bland pop songs. :(

    I saw them on the Mother's Milk tour at the QuiM in Glasgow. There were awful damn good that night.

  6. This thread just keeps getting better. Soon we'll have every sushi chef in Aberdeen registered on here :laughing:

    Just to throw a cat among the pigeons, I hear that Wagamama will be opening in Union Square by Christmas.

    Wagamama to open restaurant in Aberdeens Union Square - Evening Express

    It's like a Japanese food turf-war in here.

    I really liked Chef Jang at the market but I haven't tried the new place yet. I really like Yo as well, but it gets fucking expensive.

    I'll take you on a date as long as I get a hummer.
