lovers_spit

Digitalism

MSTRKRFT

Justice

Prodigy

Soulwax

Uffie

Aphex Twin

Be chums and play once more.

Yes. Why not say the same for The Smiths or every other band that has split.

Unfortunately, sometimes these things just can't happen. Eugh. This has put a dampener on an otherwise great night for me.

Was there not recently (last year or two) a documentary on this on tv?

I'd be quite interested to hear all this.

Genuinly sad.

Your band was great.

and please, do try and move on from "your opinion is invalid because i dont like your music"

Yeah the point I was making was, I really dislike something you enjoy, but I don't think you are a moron because you are into different things.

No, the evidence speaks for itself.

and whats the evidence then stripey? that im an idiot?

because i like a tv show you dont?

Do you not just get sick of watching crap like those guys on telly? I hate to break it to you, but you perceive me as being a constant critic of everything you like, because literally everything you like is utter shit and you are a mindless philistine.

No, I enjoy them. And how can you say that?

What makes me a mindless philistine? Because YOU disagree with me? Well Stripey, I've heard your music and I think its complete garbage, repetative and could be made by most children with a computer, but normally I still don't feel the need to have a go at your intelligience.

And yes. if it was just this one opinion fine, but almost every single thread you have some negative comment about something or other. You seem like the type of spineless bastard who likes to be completely non-conformist sitting behind a computer screen, or on a forum, but wouldn't dare say that to anyones faces.

oh, they are that pair of tedious unfunny guitar playing tossers that simpletons find amusing.

Do you not just get really sick of putting everything down all the time and not being at all constructive ever?

FOTC are funny men, in general.

Everybody likes music and musicians for different reasons. Some like Dylan due to some image of some folk hero being forced down their throats by the media, others genuinly like his songs.

Does it matter why people like different bands?

Yes, that's correct.

They played their last gig at the Tunnels before the CD was released.

The reason for them splitting up is that one of the band members is moving away from Aberdeen.

3 out of the 4 band members are moving to the burgh.

Yeah they had an EP on foyer released after the split. Fucking good record, shame to see them go.

everythingwesayisfact, although not on the poster, are still playing this if anyone cares. Should be a great night.

Luckily enough, nobody cares Euan, nobody.

Tonight at Tunnels has an open mic night.

I'd suggest going along to that.

Right,with it being festival summer, and the moaning about shit line ups in many of the british festivals this year, I'm wondering what would your dream festival line up be?

(Cos its hypothetical, why not include deceased/split up bands)

Try and keep it to ten or less otherwise it might get a bit ridiculous

Personally (From headliner to smallest act)

Led Zeppelin

ABBA

The Smiths

James Brown

Jeff Buckley

Silverchair

Death From Above 1979

Idlewild

Aereogramme

The Xcerts

*Theatre

Damn yanks.

But yes, most things in the west end are of such a high quality that its hard not to come back from the shows without enjoying at least some aspect of it.

Hi.

Thursday 31 July

Egdar Prais, The Chair, The Condiments

em, no. the condiments have split up. quite a while ago.

or they better have, cos the guitarist is now in my band and we have a show the same day

This Year Aside doesn't really do anything for me until the 2 minuteish mark where the song changes and a alot more is going on, then its a really interesting enjoyable listen.

Left Avenue is good. I like whatever percussion is playing (glockenspiel)

Obscure Object has a damn fine coda, damn fine. An epic ten minute post rock piece squeezed into 4 and a bit minutes, like someone else mentioned before me.

All of these new songs are better than your last effort, so at least in my eyes, you're music is definitely improving in leaps and bounds.

Sorry this is probably the worst feedback you'll ever get. But yeah on the whole, pretty good songs. I shall get back to you when I've listened to them a few more times.

Yeah I'd go. Need any help with doors etc do give me a shout, I'd love to lend a hand.

*ahem* thanks.

What we were all thinking. You most probably are Stripey, but dont worry, so am I.

We should have a drink sometime.

"Jonnys in the basement mixing up the medicine

Im on the pavement thinkin about the government"

Pretty basic. Bit of Dylan

bump

sorry but this is pretty urgent

There's a free slot at Cafe Drummonds that needs to be filled this Sunday.

I need to have confirmation of a band by 18:30 tonight otherwise the show wil be cancelled.

You must be able to play a 30 minute slot and will be sharing the bill with an acoustic act and a rock/old school metal act.

Wait...have I just been served?

Oh, one of those "I'm so important I need a thread introducing me to the board" threads?

Well, welcome.

But spot of advice, don't address people you don't know as bitch, dickhead.

Em, what?

Complaining about things is as least a start, keeping your head down trying to behave like everyone else is the truly cowardly thing.

Complaining means fuck all unless you make an effort to change things. Sitting back, moaning is worse than keeping your head down.

And why is keeping your head down trying to behave like everything else necesarily a bad thing? If you enjoy living here why look for excuses to complain?
