Sam 45 Posted October 25, 2006 Report Share Posted October 25, 2006 aberdeen-music.com world tour.Who needs a world tour when you can just play Aberdeen 5 times in 6 weeks.I'd put a lot of money towards furthering bands; equipment wise and getting them playing shows constantly around the UK. Obviously taking a percentage because we all know 75 million isn't enough for one person Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim Stax Posted October 25, 2006 Report Share Posted October 25, 2006 Just because I insulted you doesnt give you the right to hijak my thread.....bloody drummers...Steady... We are not all cunt from the same cloth... Staccato set playing Edinburgh at the weekend, just in case the four of you had forgotten about us.On topicRecord labels Promoters VenuesManagersDistributionFestivalsIndustry events Non of the above focusing entirley on local bands instead looking at the broader picture. In fact, removing a notion of the local scene and seeing a national/international picture will feed back in on itself. In essence plough money into an infrastructure in Aberdeen/north east that devolves the music industry's southern geographic emphasis and creates an environment where the economic benefits gained from homegrown successes are re-invested into the city/region/country. Give it several years and Graeme gets his money back no problem! T'is true and t'is possible and it is this very notion that is being discussed by the powers that be. They are likely to do jack shit about it and leave it up to everyone else but gotta start somewhere.Get the pints in G! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaki Posted October 25, 2006 Report Share Posted October 25, 2006 Who needs a world tour when you can just play Aberdeen 5 times in 6 weeks.That's why it's a good idea you cheeky swine! Just because you guys all live in different cities I wasn't meaning a musical tour, I meant we could travel the world with a stageshow that involves 30 members and 61 guests (at time of writing) sitting on a stage with our laptops, all hooked up to a big cinema screen, slagging the fuck out of each other for 3 hours with a 30 minute myspace checking intermission.....

Stripey Posted October 25, 2006 Report Share Posted October 25, 2006 something to stimulate and develop artistic and cultural identity away from stereo type brand culture....I have been looking at this thread all day thinking about posting, and you are right.Buy all these fuckers a round the world plane ticket and ship them off to places where they will be awed by genuine people and genuine cultural vibrancy, something, anything, to snap them out of this self-assuredly inward looking, small minded creative blackhole that is aberdeen.

If your opinions and feelings about music are so strong and so much more creative and original than everyone elses dont hide your light under a bushel.....help, educate, advise, steer, but for fuck sake stop constantly moaning....pretty please.

Jim Stax Posted October 25, 2006 Report Share Posted October 25, 2006 Lets all stop getting pissed off at Stripey and just ignore him. I think we have established that most of the time he speaks out of his own 'culturally devoid black hole'.He ain't worth the time and effort and should take his own advice and leave.He is now on my 'ignore' list.

That's what you get paid for isn't it? What's this business going on at peacock visual arts that you mentioned in another thread, why aren't you posting details of these things on here rather than just vague allusions towards "something going on". I'm genuinely interested. Spill the beans man. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seek all the comfort you like in the safety of giving me a collective handbagging, you of all people need that acceptance far more than I do, old man.

If aberdeen is so god damn awfull why not move away?Oh I know what it is.....you like to wind folk up.....its a little game.As a greater man than I once said "opinions are like arseholes, everyone has one" Now if you dont mind can we get back to the thread?
