Think i'll go to this.

Really like the Ducktails new album. Like Real Estate which got me into Ducktails

Don't know much about the others but will have a listen

Probably the very last feasible thing I would ever want to do in a record shop, if I'm honest. I don't need to be in Starbucks to enjoy and discover music. Just a straight up record shop would do nicely.

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.

As others have already mentioned, if that seriously bothered you then perhaps you should think about why you actually go to gigs. Every Mogwai show I've been to there has been some kind of Celtic paraphenalia on show. Who fucking cares? I was at Hampden but couldn't have cared less once I got to the show.

The show - moments of utter genius with a few flat bits. I've seen them play better, but overall still an amazing band.

I thought the crowd was a bit flat. 11 year wait? Fitba come-down? Venue? Dunno...

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

i thought Mogwai was amazing but i was pretty close to walking out before the 2nd song with the Celtic scarf on the drum kit.

No fucking need for that.Anyway i was already pissed with the performance of Aberdeen yesterday and mogwai might find i won't buy there album on that - petty yes indeed

Guys this is on from 10-3am! So head down after the Mogwai gig... Set times are as follows;

10-01:30 : Giles Walker and myself

01:30 - 03:00 - James Blake

See what shape i'm in after drinking all day in Glasgow and watching the mighty reds

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

Think my fav is Gold Panda this year and Caribou a close 2nd i think - bet there is a few i've missed out too

Bear In Heaven - Beast Rest Forth Mouth

Belle And Sebastian - Belle And Sebastian Write About Love

Best Coast - Crazy For You

Bo Ningen - Bo Ningen

Caribou - Swim

Deerhunter - Halcyon Digest

Dylan LeBlanc - Paupers Field

Edwyn Collins - Lossing Sleep

Glasser - Ring

Gold Panda - Lucky Shiner

Holy Fuck - Latin

The National - High Violet

Smoke Fairies - through Low Light and Threes

Teenage Fanclub - Shadows

These New Puritans - Hidden

Vampire Weekend - Contra

Wild Nothing - Gemini

Zola Jesus - Stridulum II

Should see the conditions they are travelling to get to the gig tonight from edinburgh. Its on their facebook page.

Take it there is very few tickets at the door tonight - in fact rcalder82 just answered that.

Fantastic, so much for them not playing in Aberdeen again - thank god for that. Tickets will be purcased

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.

The ATP line-up is looking amazing. Other than Pavement, I'm looking forward to The Raincoats, Broken Social Scene, Fiery Furnaces and Mission of Burma a lot.

They've been announced as the headliners for Primavera as well, which means I'll be seeing double Pavement in May. They're playing another ludicrously good line-up with The Pixies, Wilco, Superchunk, Low and The New Pornographers.

I'll be bankrupt by summer.

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.

hopefully be able to get tickets tomorrow - if there isn't a lot left give us a shout and i'll buy from ticketweb

You're not wrong! AL blew me away, it was impossible not to get caught up in their tunes. Their drummer Seb made it all look so effortless, just wow.

Thanks to IMP and Hen for having us

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

Whoops, yeah tickets on door is fine.

Hen is managing this one, so he could advise on stage times. Hen?

Good stuff think i'll go to this. Haven't got tickets yet and i suppose i could buy Malcom Middleton ticket fi there is any left.

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

hardly anyone left during "you made me realise" on wednesday

i was surprised to see them actually finish the song

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.

june listing should go up at the end of May.

The Tunnels Aberdeen, independent music venue & restaurant

and some dates here

The Tunnels Tickets, Aberdeen

Thanks - cool use both of those website anyway. Didn't look forward to see that ballboy is playing damn i'm away to vegas

Tickets still available and there will be a (more expensive) door charge on the night.

Not that bothered about paying extra, my mate mentioned to me that Caribou was one of the best gigs of last year.

Cool really like there last album.

When will the Tunnels be putting out their list for June? My mate from Aussie land is coming over and he likes fine bands that the tunnels seem to get.

Is there still tickets left for this gig?

Not sure if i'm going due to Aberdeen playing but thinking of turning up after the game and hopefully get in or is that not advisable?

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
