  1. I was there last night and was really impressed. I only got to hear of them a couple of months ago, so don't their work that well. I think they make more sense to me now and I shall be tracking down some more of their records. They didn't play a particularly long set but it was really tight and varied. A great place to see them as well.

  2. Following the GMTV phone in scandal, Man United are suing UEFA for allowing them to enter a competition they had no chance of winning

    UEFA have decided there will be a play off for 3rd and 4th place for this years's Champions League. Both the losing semi finalists will be invited to participate. It will be called The FA Cup Final.

    Police have issued a statement in connection with the person they want to interview with regard to the ransacking of Pepe Reina's house whilst he was at Anfield. The chief suspect is one Frank Lampard who is alleged to have gone missing from about 7.45 pm on Tuesday 1st May.

  3. To be honest it was probably the lowest turnout I've seen for them in Aberdeen. Maybe a combination of Monday night, post Triptych and them playing in Banchory. They seemed to start off slowly but the audience was pretty enthusiastic and that seemed to get them going a bit. They finished with Delila (Tom Jones).

  4. I thought it was okay but not really that funny. It struck me as being clever and well made but not really having much 'soul' (indefinable I know). I'm also thinking that Simon Pegg and co are moving inexorably into the mainstream and that, I fear, means they're not going to be as funny in future. It's a bit like when they move comedies from BBC2 to BBC1 - you know they probably won't be worth watching anymore because they're trying to appeal to too broad an audience.

  5. Of late I've been listening to:

    Lisa Knapp 'Wild and undaunted'

    Barbara Morgenstern 'The grass is always greener'

    Burial 'Burial'

    Anne Briggs 'Collection'

    Scout Niblett 'Sweet heart forever'

    Kama Aina 'Club Kama Aina'

    Robert Pollard 'Normal happiness'

    James Blackshaw 'O true believers' (someone I saw at the first IMP show I went to)

    Meg Baird, Helena Espvall & Sharron Kraus 'Leaves from off the tree'

    David Shrigley 'Forced to speak with others'

    Sagor & Swing 'Orgelfarger' and 'Orgelplaneten'

    Nancy Elizabeth Cunliffe 'The wheel turning king'

    Vashti Buntan 'Lookaftering'
