Thing is a straight up record shop is not working and there is a lot of straight up record shops struggling now due to downloads so maybe have to think a bit different to try and save the business.

How very sad to see one-up pay off a few staff today. Not good to see our local record store struggle. I'm maybe as guilty as most that i mostly download music - still its more difficult for me as i don't work in aberdeen these days and download is easier but still should pop in now and again.

On the mogwai gigs i've been to ie Aberdeen and the ATP festivals i've never seen it. I thought they was taking the piss hence why i was pissed off - saying that its a good number of years since i've seen mogwai. Crowd was shite: why do people talk through songs why the fuck do they go. Now get IMP to get Gold Panda/deerhunter etc to aberdeen

Same night as mogwai grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr -
Maple by a mile for me - never did like many aberdeen bands but Maple was fantastic. Diesel is a fantastic song i just don't understand why they didn't have success. I did also like the Needles too but not as much. We always go on about the 1 at the lemon Tree - 1 a drink/1 to get in and see music!!! Never understand why that never took off!!! But we must have watched Maple 8 or 9 times - fantasic

THE WAVE PICTURES @ SNAFU - Monday 7th June - 7.00pm
milners replied to SMT PROMOTIONS's topic in Gigs & Event Announcements
Might pop along to this, did have a listen to them on myspace and it does sound pretty good. Certainly sounds a little like Hefner which is a good thing to me. -
Always think the fannies is one of the best live bands around. Seen them for about the 6th time now, but in terms of venues that Teenage fanclub have played, it is the poorest sound system i've heard. It felt a bit bizzare as some songs could actually hear people talk, but they are excellent and overall an enjoyable gig.

Indeed it does look a fantastic line. First time i've been to an ATP festival since 2006 all because of Pavement. I'm hoping that its better than 2006 as i felt that festival was weird as a certain band got heckled and david cross too. I never thought i would see that at an ATP festival when a fair number of people wasn't interested in the music just because it was another festival. Just felt the magic had disappeared from it and didn't feel as special as the Bowlie weekender or ATP no 1 with Mogwai. Hopefully this is a good one but never been to Minehead so that will make it interesting and hoepfully its as good a set-up as Camber Sands.

A fantastic gig that - unbelievable stuff from them all from AL - not really into Jazz but how could you not like that sound like that - can't wait for the new album. Totally fantastic gig and the support wasn't bad either. A big thank you to IMP lot for putting that on. Cheers -

mmm loved their last album a few years ago, never did go and see them last time. Might go to this since okkervil river got me in the mood of gigs again -
I thought the gig was excellent although couldn't hear the vocals that well but the noise was amazing. As for that song - what was the point of 20 minutes of shite which people may call art. I was fucking deaf for about 1/2hr after the gig - maybe that was their point and i did wonder why the they was handing out ear plugs.

What Cd's have you been buying recently?
milners replied to Paranoid Android's topic in Music Discussion
Last two albums i bought has been excellent in fact maybe the best so far this year. Bon Iver: For Emma, Forever ago - totally fantastic Portishead: Third - wow i was totally prepared to be disappointed but the album is excellent although can see it be hated by some of those that listened to their stuff in the 90's (not me though), but i'm very surprised by their new sound! 11 years since Portishead album wow what a comeback -
