  1. Dave Officer stood on my foot at the Godspeed You! Black Emperor gig tonight. Cheers Dave.

    Presumably this will only be his share - there'll be a split with the rest of the band, potential sample clearances and any songwriting/publishing splits as a result of that, management fees, label recoups. And whatever deal Portishead signed for digital rights with their label will have a big old impact as well. If they've taken a big advance and given away their digital rights then it might just be that they signed a bad deal. Figures I've seen show a split between labels and streaming services as 70/30., this is a long way short of that but I'd guess there are reasons for it.
  3. With soul crushing inevitability Joss now has his Martin up for sale at a 10% loss.
  4. What if a band from another scene starts getting wide and giving your band evils? A BOTB throwdown would resolve any bandwarz decisively and be a lot less tiresome than some bitchy comments on Facebook or here.
  5. Talk Talk - Talk Talk Checkmate......
  6. It's the only one ive ever entered. I assumed most were like that, and the O'Donoghues thing was the exception. I was surprised that a pub like that would even try a BOTB thing - surely they only put on cover bands anyway?
  7. The Abergeldie is right next to my house - keep the fucking noise down............. We entered the Captain Toms/Downstairs/Fat Hippy BoB last year. More for networking and the chance to play some busy gigs than any real desire to win. It was free to enter and we got paid a share of the door for the 3 or 4 gigs we ended up playing. Pretty sure everyone came out of that one happy enough.
  8. Hopefully you've kept at least some money to pay the guy who's making you the custom guitar of your dreams............
  9. I bought this: Seems like they're made by the same people that make Eastwood guitars. It sounds ok, needs new electrics. Looks the baws though
  10. Aberdeen Firewwod is a decent supplier. I think they deliver as well. Either that or most petrol stations.

    Your current read?

    Rise of the Super Furry Animals - its written in a mate of the band style almost as bad as Paolo Hewitt's, but it's not about Paul Weller so it's not as irritating. Next up is either the Kim Gordon or Yo La Tengo biographies.
  13. Flights has a Nine of Swords pedal, dunno which one - it's pretty sweet. I think SIDCA use them as well. Earthquaker Hoof Reaper is a beast, so is the DBA Fuzz War. Fredric Effects and Rainger FX make some cool toys as well - the Freakensteins Dwarf is one i'm thinking about getting. Meyer Page-1 even?
  14. Better late than never.
  15. This was last night - I had a fucking great time.
  16. Awesome Sauce - I'll be heading back out and hitting every goddam Asda in this hell forsaken town. If they were for me I'd have just bought a couple of packets - I'm not too proud to slum it.
  17. Good shout but need them today.
  18. Where can I buy a big ass tub of Haribo? Not a tub of little packets of Haribo - just a big Ol' tub of jelly goodness? Tried Tesco and ASDA this morning - I don't have a Costco card so that's out. Anyone know of a sweet shop that would have this kinda thing?
