    Biography

    Bands rarely enjoy comparisons, but if you were to take the intelligence of The Divine Comedy, the creativity of Radiohead circa The Bends and the soaring vocal talents of Scott Walker you wouldn't be far away. And that can't be bad, can it? .. .. .. ..

    Hey guys, I'm heading in to speak to the council and police at Queen Street Station on tuesday about the feasibility of JIMSTOCK. Just wanted to see if any of you would be interested in helping out with the organising, this is a charity festival so the work would be unpaid but it'll be great experience and a great chance to put on an up and coming festival in Aberdeen! Any suggestions, ideas are greatly appreciated as well! Here's a link to the facebook page Jimstock 2011 | Facebook

    Cheers!

    I say fair play to u70jc for trying to drum up any interest in the Feugh Fest (although perhaps using a different username may have been advisable). At the end of the day a local Festival if organised sensibly can only be a good thing for the local music scene. Unfortunately I was unable to make it along for this years festival but I'm sure it can only go from strength to strength (with some more positive input from members of the music scene) and wish her all the best for next year.

    Possible I suppose but I remember vividly waking up and staring at this random who was just stood there staring at me for about ten seconds before I reacted by kicking out. Freaked me out for the next couple of days. As you say though more than likely to be a hangover from a dream, though I wasn't dreaming about anything as far as I can remember.

    I woke up about a month ago with someone standing over me staring at me. Now I dunno if I have some illegals in the attic or whatever (haha) but I kicked out at the guy and he disappeared. The bedroom door was closed and it was just myself and my girlfriend in the flat. I'd no idea who the guy was but he was just standing over me looking directly at me. Scared the shit out of me to be honest. Do I believe in ghosts, not sure to be honest, but I'd sure as hell like to hear someone explain it!

    First person to say it was your girlfriends lover gets a gold star.

    Yeah I agree, I don't think she passed though, I might be wrong but I think she has to resit next year. Mark was telling me that he was quite interested in the dynamics of the class they seem to be feeding off of eachothers work. So maybe thats got something to do with it.

    I can see what you mean about Kellys work for me personally it had echoes of David Blythes work. Not a bad thing at all as I really like his work, Incidentally I don't think it's a conscious thing, I too really enjoyed her BA piece the use of the space was great.

    Martin's a great guy and his work is so clinical he can come out with some great pieces but as you say time will give him the experience to let others derive there own conclusions from his work.

    Marks 'drag video' is really effective and he showed it to me when he made it, I think it's definately his strongest piece of work to date.

    All in all I really enjoyed the show (as much as a laymen can) but yet again it was under publicised.

    Yeah, we only stayed for an hour ourselves but caught most of it. I can't really remember the MDes one, where was that again? I really liked the piece with all the slates hanging overhead. Also Martin's room of trippy psychadelic-ness was pretty cool. Did you catch Mark's film pieces?

    is that the south american, Guillermo Vargas story you are referring to?

    the dog was fed and released

    don't believe the hype.

    (the work was actually highlighting that a man in the village (a down and out) was starved to death, and was then eaten by the local abandoned dogs. - a bit more shocking that the "reality" of having a skinny dog tied to a gallery wall for a day (being fed and watered when the show was not open). and it "escaped"....

    again, the "power of art" - and also a trip into "context" - people worry more about one dog, as it has a spotlight of being stated as "a work of art" - failing to see the relevance, reason or intention behind the work - the inability to read around the work? "what is the artist trying to say", "what is the artist reacting to?"

    nope - "he's just trying to shock us" - "he's a fraud" - "what a cunt" (ho ho)

    a bit of research and a bit of un-bias reading can do wonders for the truth (or is it?........)

    never trust wiki, but here you have the entry!

    Guillermo Vargas - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

    what I found interesting about that "show" were that the attendees held the art work in more reverence than the dog's life (if they indeed were the people disgusted by the set up).

    The fact that one of the walls had dog biscuits that formed statements, could easily have been "defaced", in order to feed the dog is surely a statement about the viewers, not the gallery / artist ? complex, and difficult stuff - but again, that's the breeding ground for "good art" - not all art should be pretty - or "nice" - and were taught in school that art is painting, or sculpture - it's hard wired from an early age that "traditional art" is the only art...not really the case now.

    Just like teaching kids that electrons "orbit the nuclei" - when science now disagrees that an electron is indeed a "particle"

    conceptual art has only been "on the go" since the 20's (if that) - so it's got a long way to go to fight its case vs thousands of years of "traditional" (craft based) art...

    I wasn't actually speaking about that piece though I did read an article about it, I was talking about the film piece of the ferel dog lying down on a busy road in china (again not sure about the location) and the cars are just driving past without slowing down. Much like we would if we saw a seagull. At the end of the piece the dog walks off without harm but something struck a chord with me about the piece, it made me challenge my perceptions, which is always a good thing. A simple yet effective piece of work. I take it you'll be heading along to see the MA degree show tonight? If so I might see you there.

    I wasn't saying that you weren't saying that it wasn't by him?

    (ho ho....this could go wrong sometime soon...)

    Haha I think we'll end it there. It's certainly an interesting piece. Always good to see the Art gallery getting in new works. I personally liked the film of the ferel dog in china (I think it was) pretty disturbing stuff.

    You're a bit vague, min.

    Practice more?

    Buy learner guitar book and use that to learn the basics then get better by doing lots of my first suggestion?

    Jam with pals and improve that way?

    Find tabs online of your favourite bands and learn songs that you really like so you'll want to practice till you can do it perfectly?

    Or get lessons.

    Damn my infernally slow typing.
