was anyone at the libertines gig last night @ barrowlands. kain were supporting. wish i'd been there.

ma mate went, heard they were on at half 7!
dunno wot the big fuss is bout them.
they were supposed to be good tho1

i was there, they were quite good, i only saw the end of them, thats a good spot though, libertines are class.

After five years in the wilderness Kain finally make it to...the tundra. In the greenhouse effect that is pop they really are the arctic wasters, 'beers for the boys' aside have they really got what it takes? The answer is a resounding NO! When did being rich middle class and obnoxious start being mistaken for the arrogance of true genius born of poverty and hardship? I'll tell you when, its when people take a listen to whats supposedly is the new SCENE coming out of Scotland today and actually BELIEVE there is something worthwhile amongst it. Make no mistake we're all being led astray by the music press. There are very very few really good bands out there. So do yerself a favour DONT put up with Kain, SDA, The Wheels, My Latest Novel or any of that other nonsense laying a claim to the crown of scottish music, DONT go to the gigs unless you want to hurl abuse at them, DONT give them your hard earned cash. DO fuck them all and GO and form yer own bands (if you havent done already). You will be better than them i promise, because you'll be what they are not...HONEST.

your a mongo

Can you play an instrument young man, I have a feeling the answer to this maybe....NO! Perhaps in the past you have dabbled with playing with yourself, ie.NO MATES! Were you bullied at school? If not, why not?
You appear to me to have attempted to join a band in Greenock at some point, and have been told to take your casio organ and play it for the local Cat Man(Your Bird).
I also have the feeling that regardless of slagging off these blokes, you will continue to go out in Greenock, see them in their fine bands, go home and dream, of just one of them ever befriending you.
Judge on little boy, or perhaps you are nearer forty, but still cool, eh?

Listen HEN, (thats what OLD chicks DO get called is it not?) IT really does'nt reflect too well on the band when they have to go and get 'er indoors to speak up for them now does it? Or worse they actually requested you do it!?! Anyway being a wife/girlfriend/groupie/whatever it is you are, i take it you go to all the gigs then? Theres three possible answers that i can see 1. You go because you really do like the music (aah! isnt that nice). Which means that you must be greatly unfulfilled in other aspects of your life too (is sex still o.k?...i shudder to think, which i more than you probably get out of it)2. You dont like the music but feel obliged to go because of peer pressure and low turn outs, which in some ways is to be applauded (and others to be scoffed at or pitied)3. Your on here backing your MAN all the way when in fact you dont go to the gigs at all, you stay curled up at home sweating because Eastenders is about to start and cant get your ass outta the seat anyway. In which case i applaud said husband/boyfriend/man-bitch 'cos at least he sees a bit of the ouside world and can at least get a tune (if indeed thats what it is) outta an instrument(oooer!). My money is on you being No3. If you go to the next Wheels gigs you'll see me there............i'll be the one pissin' meself. Bye

aye pissin' yer big bellywarmer y's

shes probably stunning compared to your bird............
mrs sweaty blistered boggin' hairy palm
savour your eyesight

Isnt it sweet that you both get to air your opinions right after each other (shared I.P address you see) noticed something though...seems like the man of the house gets his (less than articulate) fun over with first, and as history tells us, this is always the case. Hes over and done with and your left to finish it off yourself. But i'm no councillor, i prefer to deal in the marraige of drums, bass and geetars. This leads me to my point for today....when i write about said couples favoutite band The Wheels and others i'm only giving an opinion, MY opinion, and the only reason i have that opinion in the first place is because i feel honestly let down by what i hear and see. I'm just fed up seeing what i imagine are talented people turn up and play with what looks like absolutely no enthusiasm for the music or the paying public. Only the singer (whom i have spoken to about this when he was pissed one night)shows any signs that he actually believes in what he's doin', the band on the other hand are the most lifeless, faceless, soul-less, uninteresting bunch of no-marks ive had the misfortune to watch. Surely they must know themselves that they are dull. I'm not lookin' for windmills and jumps, just something, anything, that says to me "yes we ARE having a good time, we do want to entertain you". Maybe you'll just ignore my ramblings and keep on getting your wife/husband/girlfriend to come here and slag me off again, or....just imagine this for a moment....you actually take on board what i'm complaining about and turn things around and be better, i think maybe, just maybe you still have your head so far in yer own ass that you'll be on here tomorrow calling ME an asshole again. But who knows. Adios amigos.
