  1. Aye you must be gutted about staying up for the 2nd season running due to default.

    I'm not exactly singing from the rooftops about it. If we stay up as a 1st Div club and (as others suggest) we struggle with an (effectively) 2nd Div squad then going to see Airdrie every week will be about as much fun as having fingernails pulled. That's in addition to everything WAAD stated above.

  2. Right, cheers :)

    Might have been a bit more hesitant about buying the tickets were it not for the fact it's someone i'd quite like to see live.

    If it's anything like the ABC inside, that's not bad re. the acoustics anyway.

    The sound is pretty good inside, yeah.

    I think I'll need to see if I can blag a photo pass for that gig too. Haven't seen Malky for ages.

  3. Aye, that would be it.

    Have you been at a gig there before?

    Was just a bit confused, I thought i knew most of Glasgow's gig venues (yes, okay, I'm an anorak :ph34r: ) but if it's new that makes sense.

    Seems pretty central, will be interesting to see what it's like.

    I've photographed a couple of shows there. Doing another next week. It's really nice inside. Feels like a slick nightclub rather than a rock venue. It's just next to the sub club. Just like the ABC, there used to be a cinema in its place. It's too new to tell whether it's going to be as good as some of the smaller venues but I like it so far.

    N.

  4. Malcolm Middleton in March @ some venue in Glasgow I've never heard of before :huh:

    It's the classic grand, ain't it?

    Good venue if a little new. It's owned by DF Concerts I think.

  5. My brother was pretty disappointed as he'd read that it would be a return to the old days, but to be honest I didn't see it happening. They're never going to be as frenetic as they used to be... I remember watching a gig at the QMU where Bob came out, head busted up as he'd rattled it off his bass headstock. That said, the new album is pretty Rawk. A lot heavier than the last. The song writing is getting better and better.

    Nice. Very jealous. Whats the new album like? Heard it is going to be a return to the old days. But I can't see anything eclipsing 100 broken windows, my all time fav album. From the 2 songs I have heard, it seems to be more like the remote part, which is probably my least favourable of all the idlewild albums. In saying that, I do think American/English is the best song they have produced.
  6. hhmm since this album is not out yet, you must have illegally downloaded it. tut tut.

    I'm quite sad in the respect that I don't download stuff, I love the band idlewild, but will wait until the album comes out before I hear there new stuff, won't be downloading anything. Only heard no emotion and If it takes you home due to air play and mtv2

    nope... I have a promo copy sitting on my desk :)

    I used to run a record label so I have some natty contacts...

  7. I'm doing photos at Aereogramme at the Classic Grand in a week. Can't wait. After that, haven't anything planned but need to organise some stuff...

  8. Sunday and Monday of this week I went to see Babel and the Fountain respectively.

    Babel was bleak but awesome

    The Fountain was just stunning. I'd heard such awful things about it, but was looking forward to it as Aronofsky is by far my favourite director primarily for Pi.

    It was incredible. Visually and dadacticly. Well worth seeing.

  9. Oh god... that reminds me of this old woman who would come into Airdrie's Superdrug when I worked there (around late 90s) who would expect a chair when she came in, and either Iain or I (she never asked the girls) would have to run around the shop picking stuff up for her. She was a nightmare!

    A petty thing that gets on my nerves... pretty simple one this, but people singing loudly at gigs and getting the fecking words wrong... if you're gonna do it, make sure you at least know the words!

  10. I went to see both Volver and A Scanner Darkly over Sunday and Monday there.

    Volver was lovely. I'm not a huge Penelope Cruz fan but she was fantastic in this film. The premise was both heartwarming and heartbreaking and well worth a watch. 9/10.

    A Scanner Darkly... Robert Downey Jr stole the show as the hyperactive Barras. I thought the scene spent discussing the bike was tremendous. I did get a little bored by the end though. 7/10
