Ahh yes, Aberdeen; like Newcastle, another team where the fans genuinely believe they should be challenging for the title in their respective league as well as playing in Europe every season because of some god- given right, the fading memory of distant success and a "faithful" "tremendous" (read gullible) support. A team where boys in their travelling support (having just lost) will wave their wallet across the ground at the home support; If you've got so much money, why don't you buy a good keeper, pal? Or a good team that isn't full of ex- United boys, more to the point? [Rant over]

Notably The Day Today and Brass Eye have been overlooked.

Much, much better live than recorded. All sorts of exciting dynamics flying about. Plus they look a bit like robots whilst they're playing, which is pretty coool.

Just a quick one; this thread is great, and Maxi did not come up with the term "steaky" (or "stakey"). He will fully admit to this if and when questioned. Adios!

Will there ever be a boy born who can swim faster than a shark?

that's a lovely piece of instrument right there.

get it right up ye's!

the solo 50 is a magnificent head. why're you selling it, might i ask? p.s. someone buy this for 900 quid and you're still getting a good deal!

Kaddish are the most under- celebrated band ever to make music

This was fun!

looking forward to getting all up in this bitch!

stu is of course responsible for the "desk is brocken" sign left on the studio's door one day when he couldn't record boss koala. hero!

I had assumed that; my point is that that sentiment is nullified somewhat by the histrionics it precedes. I also don't doubt that your boy leaving the band was a big deal, just don't really think that talking in generic band- speak euphemisms is a particularly effective or sincere way of communicating that to myspace. Sorry if I've ruffled your feathers though; contrived faux- american band speak is just a bugbear of mine.

the utmost of teckel!

who wrote it? i only know mark and dan and wouldn't have thought them to be responsible for such amateur dramatics, seeing as they are generally good lads.

Sorry to completely and utterly derail this thread, but has anyone else actually read this blog? What a bunch of tired, cliche, american- ised, standard issue band rhetoric; It basically says "We aren't a soap opera band.... but here's a load of trite, hyperbolic rubbish that wouldn't be out of place on The Hills, so maybe we are actually"

And it seems to me that you would have deserved the hiding Teabags was kind enough not to give you, worthless keyboard warrior cunt. Roll on next Saturday, booyah!

As the title would suggest, I have one of the 7W/15W super- portable Orange Class A valve amp heads that I'm looking to sell. It comes with the padded bag and I think I actually still have the box as well. This amp is perfect for anything from home- level practice purposes to deliver pure valve tone at a gig, where bigger amps wouldn't even be getting warmed up. Also ideal as a spare due to it's size. Classic crunchy, warm Orange tone. It's in MINT condition and barely used, so i think 250'd be fair, get in touch if you're interested. Thanks, Bobby.

Due to lack of space/ upgrades/ lack of use/ skintness I am selling the following gems; Line 6 DL4 Delay Modeller Line 6 PocketPod Jim Dunlop Slash Signature Cry Baby Wah Line 6 Pod XT (Normal bean one, not the floorboard edition) If you're interested, gimme a PM or e-mail and we can sort prices etc, obviously package deals for more than one item will be available etc etc. Cheers, Bobby. rodthunder@btinternet.com

we are supporting 3IOB we're no supporting the others. IF ONLY!

sold and sold.

As the title would suggest, I'm selling my fully flightcased Mesa 2x12 Cabinet (Horizontal), which features the always awesome Celestion V30 speakers. This cabinet is totally amazing, especially considering it's size, and completely beats the arse out of any Marshall 4x12 (or really anything else you put it up against) for both tone and volume; tonnes of thick, focused bottom end, warm middle and crisp highs. The case is of full- flight spec, could be thrown off a cliff and still be undamaged at the bottom (i'd imagine); also doubles up as a handy stand to sit the cab on when playing live. As you would imagine, it is on extremely robust castors. The cab has served me brilliantly for countless gigs and rehearsals, always sounded colossal, and been convenient and portable enough to take anywhere really (the cabinet itself sans case will fit in the boot of a fiesta/ corsa type hatchback without need to get seats down etc) and I would rather not be getting rid of it- but I just can't justify having two cabinets when I have holidays and other less enjoyable bills to pay, and only room for one in the house/ car anyway. 675 new, case is worth at least 150/200 on top of that. Selling for 400. Absolute bargain. PM me or e-mail rodthunder@btinternet.com if you're interested, or know someone who is. Cheers, Bobby.
