  1. Seems like the recording could do with being a bit louder, could be my crappy laptop speakers though. Some good sounds in there and I like the spoken word clips.

    It's something I get told all the time. I think it's maybe a problem with my soundcard or something. I'm on the case though!

  2. In what respect? The good 'mental' or the bad 'mental'?

     

    I know a lot of former employees left and joined/started up a new company in the area because of the way they were treated. 

    They also seem to have a very high turnover of staff. 

     

    Saying that though I've not had any dealings with the company personally and they seem to constantly win awards so it can't all be that bad.

  3. Yay! I love their album. I'm so tempted to head down to Glasgow next month to see them play with Speedy Ortiz.

    I'm listening to the new Mogwai album for a review I'm writing, but I think I would listen to it anyway because it's a bajillion zillion times better than their last three albums, and maybe better than Happy Music for Happy People. Mogwai are properly back, guys!

    So pumped for the new album. Jealous you get a sneak peek!
  4. I kind of missed the Walcott gesturing thing.  It always throws up the argument of the responsibility that highly paid professional footballers should have.

     

    I agree with that to a fairly large extent in that such public figures should be setting a good example to those that idolise them - particularly thousands of kids.

     

    But it always bothers me far more that Theo Walcott can't jokingly make a 2-0 gesture to opposing fans without inciting a riot.  Football fans are fucking ridiculous.  The vast majority are grown men who should be more than capable of going no further than laughing it off and calling Theo a "cheeky cunt" or something similar.  But instead, there will be absolute rage from the stands with people shouting (probably) racist abuse and how they hope he dies of cancer and all that lovely stuff that football fans seem to think is fine to shout when they are within the confines of a football stadium.

     

    It reminds me of that video doing the rounds of the Rangers fans after Artur Boruc crossing himself at Ibrox.  Now, I know as well as anyone that Boruc loved it and made a big thing about making sure he did it right in their faces but the blindness by the Rangers fans who were posting that video to show the "terrible crime" that Boruc was committing was remarkable.  All he did was cross himself.  And hundreds, if not thousands of Rangers fans basically wanted to kill him or at least stamp on him repeatedly.  Fuds.  The lot of them.

     

    Football would be a much better sport if Walcott was able to have a laugh and wind up the fans light-heartedly with that 2-0 gesture without inciting a riot.  But in the real world, he gets all the pelters whilst the fans throwing coins (for fuck sake) at him and showering the stewards in the process barely get a mention.

     

     

    Agree with this 100%.

    The fact people throwing coins and objects at someone with the intention of harming them is overlooked, simply because that person reminded them of the score. Aye it was a bit cheeky but the reaction it evoked is just mental.

  5. I think Fender have been awesome in recent years, loads of cool models. And the Squires in particular are amazing value.

    As for the Jim Root, don't like it, don't buy it?

     

    Don't get me wrong I've been loving most of Fenders recent output. Some of the Modern Player guitars are mental value for money. 

    I just don't see the point in this particular guitar. It will sound exactly the same as his other models and the neck is exactly the same. Body is just a different shape.

    I feel that the effort put into making this guitar could have been spent on maybe something a bit different. Re-issue of the Cyclone, new intresting pawn shop ideas etc.
