I'm just enjoing the thread due to seeing Amy's name on these boards as much as I have lately:up:

Aye maybe sparkles was my creation to get the sawers name to the masses....?? the wonder of PR or the deranged mind of a genius?? or perhaps its all legit? who knows? who cares??? ?( .....phasing out..... over and out.....

She does come across as a bit shy though.

i just wanna know if she is who she says she is thats all... cos i have theories if she isnt. HAS ANYONE MET THE GIRL IN THE PHOTO OR SEEN HER ABOUT??? (heh heh this threads turned its self on its head and inside out and back to front if ya get me?)

This thread is famous.

I incoherently slurred something to Amy Sawers and co last night in Drummonds about sparkles and bearded men. Help me.

Did she reply? i goddam still goddam dont goddam know goddam who goddam she goddam is!!! GODDAM! one thing tho.... it aint her in the pic near the start of this thread...im 99% sure o that... besides when i came on this she scarpered. If i was as desirable as she made out...id have received an e-mail or private message DONT YA THINK FOLKS?????

TEENAGE FANCLUB perform Bandwagonesque

Certainly one of the best bands to come out of Glasgow' date=' Teenage Fanclub always seem to be around when you need them! And this time its to remind us of their 1991 album Bandwagonesque which, you may have forgotten, was voted the Best Album of 1991 in Americas Spin magazine beating Nirvanas Nevermind and REMs, Out Of Time. A travesty? We think not! So go on remind yourself of just how great they really are!

Tickets on sale Saturday 5th August @ 9am.

Glasgow, Barrowland

Friday 29th September[/quote']

Saw these guys there before:Grand prix era... they were playing with the pastels(remember them... ?) bandwagonesque revisited....sounds good to me!!! favourite fannies song- i like the cabbage for sentimental reasons.... but it has to be NEIL JUNG!!!!

Gooo Sprinkles!

Quote of the year!!

speaking of ullapool' date=' i've just dug out your appearence on my radio show on lochbroom fm 'talking music' from 1997, amongst the delights we reviewed that week were robbie williams, strangelove and spearhaed! you were talking bout that band you had in the early 90's with wiggy, i fondly remember you doing a gig outside the seaforth!!! say hello to the sheep btw

apologies for another change in this thread![/quote']

Ah del.... nice one.... oh shit that was a long time ago but i vaguely remember it.... the show that is.... i remember disliking everyone i had to review... and soundin like a total radio studio virgin... i remember the gig outside the seaforth quite well,i was 15 ,we were doing stuff like guns n roses and the ramones(and even James!)... was it yourself we did the northsound sesh with Funktree??? thats quite vague too!!

Axl's 'Mick Hucknall look' is hideous.

Sebastian Bach once wore a jacket with a patch that said 'AIDS: Kills fags dead'

Not clever.

18 and Life was a fine song though.

slave to the grind was much better

a song about a man so bored with his life and wife and children and jobs that he pretends to go on business trips to the sunny beaches and then fucks anything he can

dont go to sunny beaches and fuck anythin you can, you might get CRABS

Technically we are still a band but in reality it has been about 2 months since we have played together. Split between two cities' date=' although doable, is a logistic nightmare. The problems are amplified having a singer who works off-shore! Really want to kick-start it again. Oh yeah, and we are having drummer difficulty - in that we don't have one! We were just using whoever was available before two of the guys moved to Edinburgh. Ideally they will find someone down there, but I don't know how well that's going.

When we going to be doing some music then?

ill be in touch when i return from the hills.... i may bring you back an ullapudlian sheep. theyre so much sexier than aberdeenshire ewe

Aye i must have only been about 15/16 but i had the album and much enjoyed it. 'Spaced' was an unbelieveable track - in the top 3 of my most played songs on iTunes. Only managed to see you once' date=' i think it was towards the end of Funktree. Twas at Drummonds, can't remember when. You played the whole album apart from 'Spaced' lol.[/quote']

nice one!! spaced was about watching kubrics 2001 a space oddissy(or however you spell it) stoned when i was about 20... hence the first line! the hook 'i would be honoured if youd be my guide' refers to my mate who actually understood the film.... crazy song but glad you like it!!!

I miss Funktree.

youd have been about 15/16 when we were last playin no? so in what way exactly do you miss funktree. FUNKTREE were not funk or were not trying to be but we licked the leaves of the soul plant,brother.......

Wait till you see 16 again - Petes guitar playing is phenomenal' date=' and they are even better than aka SKA -and I will be playing drums with them and Cyberpiper,and special guests .[/quote']

speakin of aka ska im due a wee jamboree with colin from said band when i return from the hills.... i miss ghost of bongo... are they still a band????

I miss Sparkles tales of drunken debauchery -never mind -there's gonna be crazy shit happening at Drummonds on Sunday night -mark my words.

tell me more about the crazy shit....?

I miss Funktree.

You may be interested in my next project then? ive been writing again... need a band tho but like i could give up the guitar/vox/writin thing?! its in ze blood

If only audioslave would come to aberdeen.

would be awesome if they did

THERES MORE CHANCE OF RAGE REFORMIN AN DRAKES RE-OPENING AND THEM PLAYIN THERE ALAS

Right... well now that sparkles has left the building i'm gonna talk about what this forums actually about(yawn).... THE NORTHSOUND AWARDS... my experience o it by j.r hartley...sorry S.M.Hossack.... twas a weird night... i thought i was dressed quite smart but turns out i was the only one with jeans on(i did make an effort with the shoes but couldnt get the blue dye out o my brown suede)... squirmed like a Cobain gettin my pic taken on the red carpet outside the hall(you couldnt even hypnotise me into being a flash git if you hired Derren Brown)... that didnt stop me suppin on free champagne tho and after much head to toe glances from the more aptly dressed posh revellers we resigned to the ceremony to receive a three course meal( i wanted a king rib supper but you got what you were given)... i started to feel at home with the bangers an mash but then the dessert was bizarre...why they serve posh pudding in the tiniest of portions with the HUGEST plates ill never know!... Euan and Amy lapped it up whilst givin me 'parental looks' for playing with my food! soon after that this trio of irish beauties who were sittin at our table broke into acapella song and the spotlight was on our table.... cue squirming and much floor watchin( i must get the dye out of those shoes kinda thing)... at this point the public were not yet in the arena... oh yeah the irish girl band were called Trinity. i prefer the shopping centre myself. when the punters finally came floodin in and fillin the balconies we got treated to Trinity again,this time on stage Kareoke style... joy.... soon followed by the catalogue boy one from Blue... he did his kareoke thing too(hes not as good at kareoke as my dad after a few)... blah...blah went down stairs to anticipate going on stage to pass amy a guitar that didnt work... amy got her award and played patience with an unplugged sounding geetar.... what was the soundman DOING???? maybe sparkles got a hold of him? anyways despite that she pulled it off wonderfully... soon after that i went home.... NOW,WHERE THE HELL WAS THE WRITE-UP IN THE 'LOCAL' PRESS EH EH?????!!!!!!!

* where did that sayin come from? is it because its fun to do a shit?? thats my theory

This forum is surley beneath her! It's only the riff raff that come on here no? See her in an hour or so so I'll say hi but have my suspicions that she wont be able to say hi back. Maybe a rasp...

Is this thread dead?

'SPARKLES HAS LEFT THE FORUM'

ah dunno? i came on cos somebody sounded me out that i might find it disturbing but im gonna try an keep it alive cos like i said im gonna bored shitless* all week! so who out there wants to talk shit with me?? sparkles has left cos im on to who it actually is!! i cant say until the men with the white coats order her size....

(Amy told me to say this but I wanted to anyway).

where is the aimster(sic) anyway? is she gonne make a personal appearance on this? im up in ullapool for 7 days visitin the folks...bored shitless... only tourists left in my hometown....so iv a funny feelin il be spendin a fair bit o time on the ol' man's laptop.its either that or take to the hills... but its pissin down.... knew i should have taken the geetar!

Thouroughly enjoyed the gig. Your vox were a fitting addition to Amy's crackle' date=' bless... (Amy told me to say this but I wanted to anyway).[/quote']

Cheers dude!! we'll be better when we actually practice! since i joined a couple o months ago ive done more gigs than practices with her by a ratio of about 2:6! scarily true!and im still improvising the bass lines... but i like to play that way!

f*ck knows - she claims this is her...

oh' date=' and her name is Nikki.[/quote']

i bet a lot of people claim they are her online! truth is it cant be (a) shes currently on the Mali version of big brother (b) no one saw her in drummonds!

No' date=' but it's funny anyway.

Well, it was funny last week - it's a bit boring this week, to be honest.[/quote']

it was funny til i joined in!does anyone know who sparkles is? everyone here knows my name, does anyone know hers?? ive enjoyed my fifteen minutes of fame.....kinda..... now back to the music... any comments about the gig on sat? apart from the fact i screwed up the first song cos i coodna hear me bass. my highlight was havin to sing falsetto hawkins/bellamy style to cover up amys croak(she had a cold) on 'see what i see'

Hoss' date=' there's only one way to prove you are Stuart... but please don't do it naked.[/quote']

How??

i can do that.... not the naked part... unless you offer me fifty p...
