Son, when you're as fly as me, the cash-machine gives you 50s even when you ask for a 10. Out of fear. Seriously though, now I'm doubting myself. I've had 50s from somewhere and I don't ever really go into the branch to withdraw cash... Where are these 50 notes coming from?

Being an escaped retail-drone, I feel for you, but cash machines are often the culprit for this. If you go to one thinking 'I need 50 for all the stuff I'm doing today' chances are you'll often get a 50 note.

There seems to be an rule that the more impersonal the product (mobile phones, banking) the more likely the advert will emply some awful 'Life's an adventure' bullshit. It's not! Life oscillates between being unbearable and fantastic, just tell me what your rates are! I know friends are good! I just spent last night drinking with them, watching Tony Jaa films and playing Final Fight until 4am! Fffffffuck! How alienated must someone be before they identify with some mobile phone advert reminding them taht going to gigs with friends is a good time?

The consultation doesn't take long to do, so, y'know, do it! Try not to do what I did and babble on about how wank Eastenders and The One Show are, though...

"You have no frame of reference here, Donny"

Fuuuuuck, maybe we need this? Sarcasm punctuation mark aims to put an end to email confusion - Telegraph (We don't need this, it's a terrible idea. I was being sarcastic.)

Good. I thought maybe you thought I was a dick. I mean, I AM a dick, but i try to be a real-life dick rather than an internet dick. There's honour in my dickery.

You did see the emoticon in my post, y'know, indicating I was fucking around, right?

We discussed this a few pages back, if you're interested

'Aggressive' covers a lot of ground but The Slits, Siouxsie and The Banshees, ATR and Crystal Castles all spring to mind as bands I like with good aggressive female vocals. I guess a girl trying to sound like James Hetfield sounds as silly as a guy trying to sound like Kate Bush, though.

Yeah! Nurse Bravo had a song with the sickest, gloopiest bass. They weren't around long enough.

I'm not really called upon to do anything complex with my guitar when playing live, but before playing, right up until we start I always manage to convince myself I've forgotten all our songs. Weirdest thing.

Nah, but I was down there for various things a couple of times.

Best: Working in a video-game store. Other than the onset of mid-twenties, postgraduate angst that forced me out into the 'real' world, it was great. Good staff, even the manager who was a sound as fuck, Scottish twee-pop and alt-country fan who had an encyclopedic knowledge of incredible VHS era horror movies and pulp sci-fi novels. Most of the customers were cool and the ones who weren't got mocked relentlessly once we got to the staff room. Good discounts too. Worst: A temp job for the 'Cooncil'. Some nice people, but the management were grey, depressing numbers driven morons and the department I was in meant I was privvy to a deluge of depressing, heart-crushing life stories, chancing minky fucks and people who I actually sided with screaming down the phone, but feeling I had to tow the party line because I was new to this who office thing and wanted to keep my job to build my CV. Fuck. When I think of that job I think in monochrome.

We have a female vocalist, so if you want to give as a gig or something that would be great. Seriously, it was something we always wanted since there were a lot of female Digital Hardcore performers and that stuff was a (big) influence on us. I'm not sure why there seems to be so many male performers as opposed to female ones. There are certainly a few female solo artists around. Maybe its because music, like sport, seems to be one of those things young men bond over?

You still probably won't shake 'salty mouth', a condition known to blight all evening sleepers.

Since I can't edit in here, looking back it seems more tracks were being uploaded during the day. All that goodness for a good cause and a good price? Om nom nom nom.

I thought that this was supposed to be a 23 track compilation but I only see a 12 track one. This is still cool, of course, but did this change?

Good shout about Bandcamp, it's true that you have to establish yourself elsewhere first, but Bandcamp just feels really professional. The lap-top speakers thing isn't necessarily bad; it was once the case that pop music was desinged to sound good on the shitty transistor radios teenagers had in their bedrooms.

Any kids' TV show that features members of Rocket from the Crypt and performances by Chromeo is fine by me and probaby aimed at bored 20-somethings as much as it is at 3 year olds. I have no idea who Teen Heart's ideal audience is, apart from maybe morons. By the way, I was introduced to Teen Hearts by Something Awful's regular 'Garbage Day' feature. Well worth a look if you want to plumb the depths of the worst music out there.

On the plus side, I'm now cured of my 'girl with synth' fetish, I guess.

To Cardiff. I still really respect the fact she would rip apart lazy bastards who couldn't be arsed clicking 'spell check'.

Why do so many rugby guys have red cheeks? Sorry, that sounds like the set up to a joke. It's not. Loads of them have really rosy cheeks.

Well put (apart from the bit about Film Studies, course was awesome). I think this is made worse by twee adverts by soulless mobile phone companies that have a gentle voice telling us how great friends are while some implausably pretty actresses twat about on a beach somewhere farting rainbows while some stubbled, scarf-wearing 'sensitive type' sausage fingers his way through Emin, C and G - with a capo on the 2nd fret, of course.

That episode was great. They should have put up a helpline number at the end for the sportless.
