I like your attitude - you're like me: if you're dj'ing and people request songs, you play them. Afterall, you're dj'ing for them.

But these bastards who shoo you away and just play self-indulgent nonsense all night...

Too many of them in Aberdeen. Too many.

Aye, I agree completely. I'm just dreading that folk will spend all night asking for stuff we don't have with us! Anything we have, we will be more than happy to oblige though.

All the best for Friday night you guys. Can't make it this Friday - you know why.

Hope it's a success and will attend the August one.

Cheers Steve......and hope you enjoy the Mighty 'Gwai!!

I'll pop up to you guys and let you know. I'll also request something else.

I tend to do that.

Feel free to tell me to fuck off.

Feel free to punt requests in on the night. We should have plenty you would appreciate. Ask for any shite though and I will take your advice............

We've already established you've to play "Car" by Built To Spill.

I dug out my 7" copy last night

I have also arranged a back-up on CD just to be really sure.

Give us a shout to let us know you're there. I'd hate to play it and for it not to be appreciated!!

Of course, I could always play it twice..............................

Must have been. It was Dave's birthday and we were sharing a flat (2001-2002). I got drunk afterwards and did a fanny dance infront of his girlfriend. It was a good night.

Could have been worse. You could have spent the whole evening......

1. Shouting at Eugene Kelly to play obscure Vaselines songs

and

2. Shouting 'PEDAL STEEL!' at the top of your voice in between EVEY song in Evan Dando's set..........:O

Thats the second time I've read about you seeing Pavement, one more time and I'm going to kill you in a jealous rage.

Three strikes and you are out.

Fair enough.

The remaining Pavement-related anecdotes will remain unsaid.............

In Aberdeen I'd go for The Tunnels.

Elsewhere, Fat Sam's in Dundee is pretty good. And I saw Pavement at the School Of Art in Glasgow about ten years ago. Great venue.

That was an ace show. Evan Dando put a tape recorder next to me and bootlegged his own show.

Heh!

Quality. I would love to get my hands on a copy of that. Was that the first or second Triptych? I was speaking to somebody at work about itn and we just can't remember. Too much drink possibly. I know I disgraced myself that night.........

I was there as well. Also saw them the year before at Reading.

Strangely, I never went to Reading for another 10 years and, funnily enough, I saw Evan Dando solo there.

I haven't been to a festival since Reading '94.

Finished on a high note though. Pavement, Sebadoh, Superchunk and Archers Of Loaf. Brilliant weekend

Evan Dando was excellent when I saw him at The Forum. Eugene Kelly was the perfect support too.

One of top ten all time favourite bands?!!! Surely only because they were on the top of their game during your teen years and because of pretty-boy Evan.

To be fair, I'd probably stick them in my all-time top 10. And that's despite seeing them at Reading '94 during his 'crack period'. Not a very attractive look............

Ah man, I love Bright Eyes, Watership Down is such a good film. I wouldn't have thought you would be able to remember the first day of your life though, are you sure that's what it made you think of?

Nowt wrong with a bit of Art Garfunkel now and then. Especially for the 'comedy hair'!

Scarily enough, it would be the same song you mentioned.

And 'Norman 3' by Teenage Fanclub.

Not worth the chance at 16 in my opinion.......

Either brilliant, or an absolute shambles........
