  4. Seaton Park Festival? Any info

    in Music Discussion

    Posted

    Idlewild, Maximo Park, Futureheads, Madness, Twilight Sad, Xcerts and more I'm not caring so much about... Apparently all confirmed. Wow, I'm actually quite impressed and excited now.

    Yeah, seems that the info at the moment is coming from the ticketmaster link that appeared earlier

    Think John is extending Kiosque to monthly'. Having recently spoken to him at a gig

    Aye, this will happen later this month. Sad to see AberdeenEvents go by the way. Always been of the 'the more the merrier' view when it comes to folk doing stuff for the scene up here. Hopefully Billy will resurface with something else soon...

  10. The Death of Music Forums

    Also, in the advent of social networking sites, lonely people who are into different music don't need to use forums to find like-minded people who may share the same level of interest in specific bands.

    This

    Although Facebook is becoming ever more unwieldy if you follow/like loads of bands/labels/venues/daft pages etc (which I try not to tbh)

    I get the feeling there'll be something else just around the corner (either Facebook-related or not) which will help you filter stuff a bit better somehow,

    Don't ask me what it is though. I wish I knew.

    I really fucking wish I knew

    :D

    As a music fan and a punter, though, I want the majority of happenings listed in one place. Not because I'm lazy, but because it makes sense.

    I fear that Edinburgh is too fragmented for this to materialise, sadly.

    That's what I mean, it's OK if you're 'in the loop' so to speak (I mean, even I get sent quite a lot of stuff promoting gigs in E-Burg) but looking at it from a punter's point of view (especially if you're outside the city and not seeing the flyposters etc) it is difficult to find out about the smaller, more interesting gigs.

    Weird when you see how well the online festival/fringe stuff is done for one month a year. You'd think someone involved in that might have noticed a gap in the market. Course they wouldn't have the massive sponsorship cash to play with I suppose...

    Billy is going to kick our arses for blabbing on aboot this on here.

    Sorry Billy :love:

    I have found it very difficult to find online resources relating to Edinburgh-based music and gig listings.

    Weird isn't it? We keep getting told how healthy (ken what ah mean like) the Edinburgh scene is at the moment but outside of The List & The Skinny (whose coverage is patchy at best) and the odd blog (like Under the Radar) it's hard to find out who's actually playing where and when.

    Anyway, thread hijacked somewhat so yeah, everyone listen to Billy's Podcast. It's ace.

    :up:

    Bump just to stress how good this podcast is. Fascinating wee stories about American life.

    Skinner and baddiels world cup one has been nae bad although it's ridiculous how little they know about football.

    Glad you're enjoying it man, just about everyone I've recommended it to says the same.

    Ira Glass is a legend.

    Cheers for those who mentioned The Nerdist too, good stuff, got the live show they did recently lined up for a train journey tomorrow actually.

    As for fitba, The Guardian's World Cup Daily has been decent, haven't heard it every day but James Richardson and Sid Lowe are always a good listen.

    I tried it and it was very poor in my opinion,the food was microwaved and luke warm.I was looking forward to jerk chicken and was greatly disappointed.Make your own mind up though.

    Oof, was going to try this place out next week, probably still will, cheers for the heads up though...

    Love jerk chicken, used to visit mates in Brixton where there were West Indian takeaways on every street, mmm, ackee & saltfish & rice & peas & patties. Ace.
