Hey, just leaving this here for anyone interested. 

We've been hermited-up working on a bunch of tracks for a while now and will be looking to release a bunch of them in the coming year.

Cheers for any support!

Well may I suggest to him that he should at least consider getting one. If he focussed his powers then he could take it to the next level: Chatroulette!

It's like the promised land of the penis.

Probably. I was fucking hammered and showing my cock to everyone.

I've heard you say that a few times on this site. Do you have a tattoo or something?

Wow, you're really edgy and radical man.

You should start a Facebook campaign.

Genuinely don't know to reply to that. Like this I suppose.

Why do you give a f**k that we give a f**k?

Why do you give a fuck that I give a fuck about you giving a fuck?

But really, we already have a films thread for people who appreciate films and want to talk about them. The Oscars are just a corny celebrity jizz-fest. I suppose it simply annoys me that people happen to find it to be an entertaining and important event. I know I should just ignore it, but it's just one of those things that annoys me, like people who enjoy Chris Moyles.

*Looks at the floor...*

If I was serious I would have neg repped yo ass mu'fucka.

You can give me negative rep twice in a row? Well I'll count myself lucky. That would have spoiled my day!

Well maybe you should stop asking stupid questions.

Yes. Just yes.

Oh, you were serious...

Why does anyone give a fuck about anything?

Ask yourself that.

No. Just no.

I'm sure everyone is going to call me a condescending prick, but why do you all give a fuck about the Oscars?

Look, Sean, I don't really care. I've just had it with these motherfuckin' snakes on this motherfuckin' plane.

Hahaha - lulz.

I think that just about sums it up. You're brushing aside a lot of worthy stuff based on your thoughts about one particular piece that not many people thought was great anyway.

It's exactly the same as me saying all metal music is shit because I heard one song once where a guy was screaming. I know nothing about it but I know better than to dismiss it.

Yeah. If you aren't informed, then you aren't a critic.

Now this is art. And it's not an unmade bed.

FAIL etc.

Yes!

and in my mind I can conjure up an image of the untidy minger that left it that way....

Does anybody remember that "2 Rows of Bricks" that some daft twat at a gallery paid thousands for?....... I don't call that art.... ooh he placed those bricks so uniformly!, what can he be trying to say?..... gtf, absolute pish!

Come mothers and fathers

Throughout the land

And don't criticize

What you can't understand

Your sons and your daughters

Are beyond your command

Your old road is

Rapidly agin'.

Please get out of the new one

If you can't lend your hand

For the times they are a-changin'.

Who on Earth would watch Mock the Week without Frankie Boyle? I really can't understand you people.

God, people who don't share my taste are such idiots...

Let's face it though, some of the stuff that folk put out and call art is pure shit.

EDIT: Case in point:

Do you look it that and just see a messy bed?

I'd like to do that too, but Blogger is quite restrictive, and you can't really seperate each type of entry, it all just goes in chronologically. That's why I've started each title with "Gig Review", "EP Review" "Thoughts etc." to try and make it easier to identify with everything falling under four hdifferent headings, and I've put in the tags with each band / venue so you can simply click on Cast Of The Capital, Captain FACE etc and bring up all their reviews. It's the best system I could come up with at the time but I'm sure there are ways around it.

Yeah I just noticed the labels on the side and it works just fine. Like I said, it wasn't a big deal, it's just that I am OCD with shit like that.

One other thing I forgot to mention that I liked is the idea of having both of you review the same gig or EP like you did with the Cast of the Capital one. You know, the plurality of taste/interpretation and all that.

Howdy y'all,

You may have noticed from our signatures that Carrots Gladstone and I have been trying to get a new online local music fanzine off the ground for a couple of months. Unfortunately we've hit a bit of a brick wall already because we don't know when bands are releasing new material - we can go and have a rake through the local bands section in One-Up, but who knows what's new in there and what isn't? So if you play in a band or are a solo performer / DJ etc and you're releasing some new stuff, and you'd like some free promotion, then drop us an email and let us know what it is and where we can get it from. Ideally this isn't going to cover bands just recording a new demo to stick up on their Myspace, we're looking for proper single / EP / album releases.

You can PM either of us or email aberzine@googlemail.com.

Also if you're playing a gig anywhere, drop us a line and let us know where and when and we'll try to attend.

Secondly, if you go and see a gig in Aberdeen, write us a quick review. We don't get to as many gigs as we'd like to these days, so we'd be delighted to have contributions. It doesn't have to be a 1000 word essay, just a quick review of who you saw, what was good, what wasn't so good etc. I think having a good fanzine is to the benefit of the whole city's music scene and I'd like to have a really good, up-to-date fanzine with lots of people contributing. The only rule is that the gig has to have been in Aberdeen - but it can be watching your mate's band at the Tunnels, or watching Lady Gaga at the AECC. As long as it's in city limits, it's fair game.

Thanks for reading

Hey, I just had wee look at the site. Good work so far; the blog looks neat and the reviews are easy to read. I also like that you aren't afraid to give a band a bad review.

My only suggestions would be to perhaps seperate EP reviews, gig reviews and the "Thoughts etc." sections, but if this isn't possible then it's nothing to worry about as the page is perfectly scrollable and digestible already due to the TL DR summaries at the bottom of each post. Oh, and maybe you could ask permission to link or host a sample song from the band that you are reviewing?

But yeah, in general, well done on maintaining the site - I understand the surprising amound of effort it takes to go out of your way to see unappealing bands and bother to write about them on a regular basis. I suppose a hearing a good band every now and again can help with motivation. I'll certainly be sure to inform you guys the next time Toy record an EP/play a gig.

Out of interest: How many page views have you been getting and what sort of things are you doing to promote the site?

ASDA at Garthdee, and what I can only assume is gratuitously overstaffed. Everytime I go in, there are groups of blighters in their green zip up fleeces just pottering about, having a good old laugh, and just generally doing fuck all. The two occasions I've been queuing for the Kiosk or the Customer Service desk, behind the counter there has been hoards of staff, just chatting and turning a blind eye to the queue, no matter how big it is, whilst more staff circulate the area, but just fucking fanny about. What the fuck are they playing at? Especially in an organisation where customer service is everyones job, bar none, you've got spotty fucknecks loitering around like the place is dead, when there's a queue 15 people long. That shite heap probably exclusively employs Bob Gordon students, so they are just free-riding their way through the day, ready to go home and sleep until 3 in the afternoon. Even if they are digging into a bit of graft, they are leaving their trolleys of empty cardboard in the middle of aisles whilst they go chat up that slagged up clown face that gets paid to cut fucking bread.

A couple of dozen redundancies will force a bit of work ethic into those borderline alcoholic STD infestations. Get on a fucking till, shitshaft

I might apply.

I just want the Kama back...

Predator is a seriously great movie, probably the best Arnie film apart from the Terminators.

"Come on in, you fuckers. Come on in. Ol' Painless is waitin'. "

"I ain't got time to bleed..."

More importantly, God will strike thou downeth. He'll throw the fucking ark at you, pairs of animals be damned.

Nah, God doesn't do shit like that anymore. After He became a father he chilled the fuck out.

Like Colin Farrell.

I really like the clarity of your posters.

The Cast of the Capital one is great.

If you have any interest in Star Wars, please go and watch this:

It's a 70 minute review of The Phantom Menace.

No, stop, wait, come back! It's in 10 minute sections, and it's one of the funniest, and most accurate things I've ever seen.

I guess in my gut I've always known that The Phantom Menace was crap, but this explains why, in hilarious fashion. You don't have to watch it all in one go, but I really, really recommend watching it.

Hahaha, cheers for this. I've only seen the first two parts so far, but it is brilliant. The character test is funny; I did the same thing to a friend who was a fan of The Matrix to show how every character is indistinct and pretty non-descript.

Gonna hit part three now.
