you sound pretty precious yourself. have day out and see them somewhere. incidentally, i spent the evening after the GYBE and Sigur Ros gig chatting to Mr Braithwaite about football and he said he loved Aberdeen. but I think he was referring to the football fans opinion of Rangers FC. he loves the tims. a lot of weedgies have this skewed version of Aberdeen as a super affluent oil-rich Dallas type place which is painted by Reporting Scotland and the STV equivalent and don't want to come here on principle. i'm sure Primal Scream had that issue as well. until they eventually came to promote their sh*te album. would have loved to have seen them here around Vanishing Point/Xtrmntr days. talking at gigs is a problem at the Lemon Tree and the Tunnels though. the bars are too close to the action. was enjoying Pictish Trail / Rozi Plain / Lazy Sheepdog last week until a big group of bams came in and made an absolute racket. politely told them to zip it and was met with the same predictable, unbelievably selfish responses. "we paid our money" "this is a pub as well" which makes you wonder why they paid a tenner to get into a pub when there's loads in the area. and I think "The Hawk Is Howling" is f&cking ace. wasn't a fan when I met the boy. would probably gab a load of starstuck nonsense to him now. one of my favourite bands. but aye, dry yer eyes Stuart and co and give Aberdeen another chance.
