Sufferhead

Specifically those two together? The Bug usually has Daddy Freddy or Flowdan as his MC of choice. I've thrown a lot of money at concerts this year, but still have a daunting list of must-sees. Bands/artists: Sparks, Prince, Meat Puppets, Kate Bush (she says she might tour next year!), Pixies, Ice Cube (esp. a Death Certificate in Full tour), Bun B, Faith No More, many, many jazz legends (like Ornette Coleman, Archie Shepp and Pharoah Sanders, all in London in the next few weeks) and reggae legends (Burning Spear, Horace Andy, Sizzla) I've not seen yet. And Allen Toussaint... DJs: Todd Edwards, Todd Terry, either of the Masters at Work, El-B, DJ Godfather.

LiB doesn't have much luck with end of year bookings, does it? (Thinking of Fake Blood last year) This does mean I can attend however, looking forward to it.

Ah, this is very annoying. My bus is at 11:05, so I guess I'm not going to see more than 5 minutes of Copy Haho's set...and they were my main reason for buying a ticket.

Fatback - On The Floor The Chic album Take It Off has a more funk sound than their better known stuff: Chic - Burn Hard The last Gil Scott-Heron and Brian Jackson album, 1980, doesn't seem to be very popular, which is a shame because it's really good. Apart from a few scattered bits and pieces like that, I guess you'd have to look at very early rap for an 80s source of funk or at least funk-style music: - hmm, didn't realise this was from 1979...oh well. Still, more or less a funk band with rappers on top.

Time for a paraphrase: "You call it the Seaton Park Festival, You'd like to go there someday, When they put up the gun towers, To keep the (neds/minkers/locals/non-students) away." There's a HMHB lyric for anything.

An Origin stage would be good.

Now that it's actually on a proper website with multiple stages, and I've gotten over the general amusement of this happening in Seaton Park, I concur that this is really cool. Will probably go for both days as well.

Line-up is hilarious and actually quite compelling, apart from all the boring indie timewarped in from 2005. May well get a ticket for the Sunday.

Various news sites say "the entire crew", so that means all the main crew + Cappadonna & Ol' Dirty Impersonater I guess. But I imagine someone (probably Meth) will end up skipping some of the dates. But they're really good live (caught them last year), I'm giving it some consideration. Yelawolf for support? Bit random.

I'm in Glasgow that day. Just have to hope something happens to get this rescheduled for another (any!) date.

Hope the weather permits me to attend this.

Good stuff. I read the other thread - how long exactly has it been since they last played Aberdeen?

Also, how was the last Smith Quartet performance, the Philip Glass quartets? I lost my bus pass, so it was too expensive to travel there (so it was only 3/4 concerts for me). The Friday night performance was pretty good; I didn't like the first piece at all, but it improved from there on, and the second half of the concert was really good. Saturday lunchtime at the Art Gallery was good as well; I really liked the Graham Fitkin piece and now I regret not going to his Ensemble's gig.

DRUMMING. Drumming. Drumming. DruMMIng.

Thanks. Today's performance was good, turned up a little late (thought 12:45 was when it opened) but nevermind. Looking forward to the rest of the concerts this weekend.
