Last night at the CCA

I hope you can all read my writing

Rug Cutting; After Dark!!

Well, it's dark o'clock.

Which means that you can pretty much expect this blog to feature swearing, violence and nudity. You may also expect that I will struggle to make work tomorrow.

Anyway, tonight I went to see North Atlantic Oscillation, Y'All is Fantasy Island and How To Swim at Sleazys. It was good. The drummer from YIFI is injured though, so we were given a limited edition acoustic performance. Exciting.

Please find live action photo's below, which may or may not feature the head of the blonde girl who was in front of me:


Y'All is Fantasy Island



North Atlantic Oscillation

Uhm......ok. I didn't get a picture of those guys, because I was having a wee rest and was also trying to appear cool and casual. But they were quite good. So check them out here

How To Swim

I enjoyed it, Kenny enjoyed it, the pretty violinist enjoyed it. Everyone had a nice night. Good night.

PR Chat

Yup. It'll be a reet hoot.

Anyway, while I was sticking up a few posters during my lunch-hour today, I went into the CCA to stick one up and there wasn't really a good space. So I started looking for a poster that was out of date; when I found one, I tore it down, put it in my bag, put up my poster and left.

Except that now I look at the poster, it quite clearly isn't out of date. I don't know how my mind tricked itself into thinking that the 29th of September is in the past. Shit.

Anyway, I guess I better put the word out;

SPINTO BAND ARE PLAYING ORAN MOR ON MONDAY 29TH SEPTEMBER!!!!

So now you know.

Tag Team; Me and Kenny VS .....Gdansk and Ursula Minor

Wow! I'd forgotten I'd taken that!!! That's obvvvv No Cars from the other night at the Flying Duck. They were nice.

Anyway, this weekend.

There's a nice free weekender at 13th Note Cafe and here is a list of the bands that I am looking forward to, in alphabetical order:

• BoomEdan (17:30 on Saturday)
• Cuddly Shizzle (21:15 on Sunday)
• Hyena (23:30 on Sunday)
• Nackt Insecten (14:30 on Sunday)
• Single Helix (18:15 on Saturday)
• Super Adventure Club (22:00 on Sunday)
• Vars of Litchi (22:45 on Sunday)

It runs from 14:00 - Midnight, on Saturday and Sunday and will probably be quite good.

In other news, me and my friend Kenny will be DJing in the CCA bar on Saturday, which is also free. He likes rock; I like techno; we're the original odd couple!!!!! Anything could happen!! But what will probably happen is that we will play some songs.

N.O.C.A.R.S.

heyyy

tonight was fun, yeah. we didn't get as big a crowd as usual; we usually draw at least 20 people into a venue. so, yeah, it wasn't jumping tonight.

which was a shame, because no cars were outstanding. like, really fucking amazing. really really amazing. as i said earlier, it wasn't busy tonight, so i did lose a few quid, but i just stood smiling throughout the entire set. so it was ok; music is nice.

the people at the flying duck are soooo nice as well. i made lots of new friends. so all in all, a good night, thank you very much.

i can pretty much give a personal thanks to every single person who went. but i'll do that some other time, some other place.

tomorrow night at the cca; james murphy
next saturday; ......me

shit

Basta ya de minimal!

Luciaaaano.

I know that this is old news but there you have it. There's too much stuff floating about the net to keep up with EVERYTHING, so here's a wee link to Luciano's Essential Mix on Radio 1:

Damn it's good. As is his Fabric mix. I do love Luciano.

Enjoy.

And I do not know what 'basta ya de minimal' means.

lastminute.com

Yup. A sheep.

Come along; Raleigh Saint Clair, if you don't know, is a cool folky-pop guy. Very nice.

No Cars seem to get described as 'surf-punk' by everyone. I don't see it, personally. But whatever.

And YOU know Lyndsay. Everyone knows Lyndsay.

Drunken Canadians...

I don't mean to big-up violence etc etc.

But daaaaamn. I'd have pushed that punk off of the stage too; Morning Glory is shit.

My Bubble-Ring

Tonight was good. So So Modern are proper awesome. With a bit of luck they'll do really well. Nice lads. Nice vegan lads.

Unfortunately, due to kitten-feeding we had to cut My Elvis Leg a wee bit but they were really good. And are also very very very nice.

.........

Ahem.

I am no friend of the Metro

Can you believe that shit?? How much more effort would it take to write 'They play the Captain's Rest, Glasgow, on Sat'!

No fucking wonder it's free; I certainly wouldn't buy it. Broke-ass motherfuckers.

I'm almost as outraged as my boy P Diddy. Fuck that shit

We then went to see Sparks, and stayed for a wee set from Optimo, but I wasn't used to the whole taking pictures thing so I forgot all about it. You know what they both look like anyways.

Huntley & Palmer's Audio Club

Actually, there was a lot of chopping and changing in that tent, so I'm not sure who this guy was. The schedule reckons it was the Huntley & Palmer Audio Club, but I wouldn't recognise him/them, so whatever. You'll be pleased to know that he was awesome anyway.

Kinky Afro

Sigur Ros

Franz Ferdinand

That's me done.
