black_matter

To be honest i did it cause we had a shit load of folk from Aberdeen coming down to see us and they were stuck with the snow and i didnt want all my mates, mates mates etc coming all that way and not getting to see us. So i offered our gig money to the guy to go on a little later so they could see us.

If they come once and enjoy it - like they did - they will come again. hence us being asked down again to Barfly in March to play and bringing similar numbers again....

not such an idiot.

Pay to play in any form is stupid. To be honest I don't even care, so carry on spending all your hard earned dosh making sure your mates see you.

As before, good day to you

Bit harsh is it not? Might have snapped in my younger days but not now.

far from an idiot my son....far from an idiot. x

You should have pre-arranged with the promoter that you weren't playing first.

Instead you decide to pay him when you get there?

Not so far from an idiot.

Anyway, good day to you.

We actually paid our promoter in Glasgow the other week so we didnt go on first...nae quite sure if it is supposed to work like that haha.!

You're a fucking idiot

I remember hearing about the circuit bending class at the peacock arts visual centre and wondering is there any plans to repeat the day again?If not, does anyone have any contact details for the people who set the day up? I, for one would definitely be interested in going if it got put on again but I couldn't make it the last time.

but it IS the product of our country's PC culture !, its about not teaching, proper morals, respect for yourself and others, and responsibility for your actions, if so, consequently, a story like this one. would never have occurred....sure it is just a product of "a rather slutty girl and a boy who DIDN'T KNOW WHAT THE HELL HE WAS DOING" ???

my point exactly..... The Parents should know better and they should have taught them better too !!!

and its hardly an isolated incident either.... its happend countless times (just not as young looking as him)..... its tragically obscene.....

btw ....I don't read the shitting Daily Mail... actually NO dailies at all !!

Your posts actually make my head burn. Seriously...

So the score is...

I've written some tracks in Cubase LE. I've made an audio mixdown and I'm happy with the song, it's just that it's 26mb as a wav file. How do I make the file smaller and more easy to send to friends and via e-mail etc?

Any help would be appreciated

I don't mind the daft tags, but please don't use them to abuse other members, folks.

But that's why it's funny ?(

It's pretty good to see how musically pro-active aberdeen-music is. Should probably get off my arse and make something happen

Do Kings Of Leon have a house in Balado?

Every bloody year they're there....

Yeah they share it with biffy clyro.

Inspired by the 'gear aims for 09' thread, I thought i'd see if this would work.

Dunno if it's already up here, but what are your musical goals for 2009?

I'll set the ball rolling by saying i'd like to perform in an original band using more electronic equipment such as drum machines and explore the genres of post rock, electronica and such like and maybe play a quite well promoted support slot or two and get a wee following going.

What would you like out of 09?

Maybe that'll give the time to get the fucking campsite sorted though.

What a bloody disgrace.

Just recently bought a tele off of Huw. Beauty she is!

Dyers eve will be funny as fuck to give a going at.

I'd heavily recommend you check out zeitgeist as well. Cracking band, really different and unique and good guys.

So let me get this straight. Say a member of the public sees a police officer reacting wildly to a situation and catches the situation with a photograph? Would they be able to use that photograph as evidence or would they be considered a criminal?

There should be set fees for businesses of certain sizes. I dunno if its been thought of already but a business of say 5 employees shouldn't need a license however a national sized business should have to pay a set yearly fee for all there shops etc.

It's been a long, long time since I played a game that was literally too harrowing to play.

The campaign for this game at times is ridiculously brutal.

I'm sure a blanket license can be bought for the whole of the wood group company so that music can be played in the work place. We get taught about this all the time at college...maybe shoulda paid a bit more attention to it

Keane - spiralling.

Absolutely love it.

Does anyone have a mobile number for Huw? I'm meant to be meeting him tonight at captain tom's but I lost the bitta paper I wrote his number on

If someone could pm me it that'd be great

Got an absolute bargain on a Quentin Tarantino movie box set

Jackie Brown, Pulp Fiction, Both Kill Bills and Reservoir Dogs for 20

Beauty is I haven't seen any of them all the way through!

But yeah still good move if it means HMV will chuck some local acts in there stores

Also I would like to add the following:

EHX Holy Grail: 45 ono

pm'd

That's a lovely guitar. I'm definintly interested, but i'm a busy this weekend. I'll try and fire you a pm some point before the weekends through. I understand the lighting and dust not making it look its best.

P.S Would it be relatively easy to put a white pickguard on the guitar? I'd love that colour combo.

Do you have any songs on the net I could listen to? What's the average age group of the band? I'm interested.

I'm very interested in this. I would be up for making you an offer once i've had a wee looky at some pictures?
