  5. New wave......??

    in Musicians

    Posted

    hey,

    wondering if anyone is into getting something on the go, bit of new wave rivavalist..... thinking Wire (circa 154, IBTABA) Killing Joke (circa Night time) U2 (circa Boy) 7 Seconds (circa Soulforce Revolution) ...uhm, thats about as much new wave as i listen to..

    I play guitar and can do vocals...but it doesn't take long before my vocals scare off band members and audiences...need a solid rythym unit, someone who can do that big 80's drum sound...solid as a linn drum....and a bass player who can finger pick away some great riffs....maybe a vocallist too, but thats not as important at this stage as finding some good band members....just looking to make some noise just now, but it would have to be a serious band.....no gimmicks or irony or cheese....anyone? :popcorn:

    3 folk in CIA training, 2 guys and a woman. They're ready for their final test. One by one they enter the heads office.

    1st guy goes in ..... "Congratulations, you've come far, theres just one final test...your wife is in the other room, I need you take this gun and shoot her dead"

    "No way man, no way, I love my wife, I can't do it, I WON'T do it sir!"

    "No problem, you done well, but you're not cut out for this job, collect your wife and vacate please"

    2nd guy goes in ..... "Congratulations, you've come far, theres just one final test...your wife is in the other room, I need you take this gun and shoot her dead"

    He enters the room, looks her in the eye... "what..what is it?" she asks?

    "I, I, I...." he begins to shake and feels sick....he leaves the room

    "I can't do it sir, I love my wife, take this gun please" and he passes it to him, hands still shaking...

    "No problem, you done well, but you're not cut out for this job, collect your wife and vacate please"

    The woman goes in.... "Congratulations, you've come far, theres just one final test...your husband is in the other room, I need you take this gun and shoot him dead"

    She enters the room. As soon as the door closes there is a loud bang. Then another.....and another....and another.....and another...

    There is a pause of silence. Then there is repeated banging and the sound of someone in agony...the sound is banging and crashing away....the pain sounds more and more intense...the head steps into the room

    "What the hell is going on in here?!?!" he screams

    "You'll never believe it, the bullets were all blank so I had to bludgeon the bastard's face with the gun!"

    sorry for wasting your time :popcorn:

    there was still a queue outside gamestation when i was on my way home from work about half an hour ago, irritatingly i saw at least one young kid in the queue, i hope the parent they persuaded into taking them along didn't get sold the game.

    Maybe the parent couldn't get a babysitter! ;)

    Although, I let my 7 year old kid play San Andreas....

  18. Anyone want a job?

    in Trading Post

    Posted

    Looking for someone who would like the idea of going offshore to work on boats and the occasional rig to do work on computers, networks, some hydrographic data processing, etc. No previous offshore experience required (although it's nice if you have it). Obsession with all things technological required. Opportunities available for many individuals. If you don't mind being away from home for a while the money is pretty awesome :>

    PM me or call 01464 851122 if you'd like to know more. Also see ...::: HPR (UK) Ltd: Home :::...

    I'm sorry if I shouldn't be advertising this here. I'm afraid I didn't see a different place that is more suitable. If I'm breaking millions of rules by posting this here just delete it or whatever. Just figured maybe someone here has some talent going to waste and needs a job.. :>

    What sort of money are we talking? And how stable would the work be? I've longed to work offshore ever since the first time I stepped on a docked rig, but the opportunities just don't seem to come up very often and its hard to contemplate packing in a stable job (albeit one that pays peanuts) but bloody tempting :D

  19. Anyone remember the Sky channel 'p-rock'?

    in Music Discussion

    Posted

    Short lived but great. A decent mix of punk and ska!

    Some p-rock favs:

    YouTube - Hopskotch

    I lost track of the amount of times i would switch to that channel and that song would be playing (and I'd instantly change the channel!)

    Its a strange one because theres something likeable about it, but its so damn annoying that i just can't stomach listening to it. (All those moonska bands seem to play a million different styles, and would throw in some ska guitar just to get on the label..."its ska....honest")

    Some of my faves were Goldfinger - Spokesman, Face to Face - Debt, Motion City Soundtrack - Throwdown, Hot Water Music - Paper thin, Guttermouth - End on 9, No use for a name - Soulmate, even that awful graveltrap song...

  20. USB Turntables

    I've just gone for the Stanton T.90 turntable. It's analogue/digital and USB. The cheap ION and Numark USB decks I find are on par quality wise with the record players you would find on those nasty all in one Bush hifi's (this is half the reason most people my age who never aspired to be a DJ hate vinyl as they've always heard it played on crappy stereos). I haven't fired up this stanton yet, it was a little more expensive (200 inc postage) but it just looks so much quality, and feels a lot more like a record player. I just need some records now :up:

  21. Aberdeen Legalise Cannabis Demo - 3rd of May 2pm at the Castlegate

    in Politics & Current Affairs

    Actually I did. Although you can't compare being prevented from lighting up in an enclosed public space to tobacco be declared an illegal drug punishable by a two year jail sentence (soon to be 5) for merely possessing it anywhere for any reason.

    My opinion of the smoking ban was there should have been exemptions and that the anti-smoking stuff is starting to way to far, did you see this idea they had

    recently? Permission to smoke? That'll be 10 - Times Online

    Comments about the article here LDYS View topic - Latest great idea, smokers too need a licence to buy cigs...

    That's pretty funny actually...as the people I know who are dying of cancer are the sort of people who would have never bothered their arses to getting round to applying for a smoking permit....what a pity!
