my Last.fm listening habbits

I Love last.fm and I love geeky technology that goes with it. These graphs compile all your music listening habits and squirt out a pretty awesome looking graphs…everyone loves a graph. This is the full listing of everything i’ve scrobbled in 2 years…cool. Macca did it to…but mine doesn’t have nearly as much coldplay in it :) (that was a dig by the way) click here if you want a big un

Ministry @ Carling Academy

thunder thunder thunder cats!

I’m not a huge fan of RAWK! but lee at work had bought a load of tickets and said “I might like it” another big squad from work went so it seemed rude not to. The band ministry, don’t know much about them…still don’t. Missed all the support which was fine as nobody knew who was on anyway. The gig was loud, as in angry loud. Not really my cup of t but I still enjoyed it. Stopping by at the glaswegian for a spot of karaoke…hilarious. Then to Barfly for the aftershow party where more RAWK bellowed.

Anyway to explain the pictuere. I am in the middle of moving house and don’t really own an outfit of such which suggests i’m a heavy rocker. A dawn of the dead t-shirt at a push. All I had left was my thundercats t-shirt so as you can imagine I got a bit of stick. Until I found Thom! I first bumped into him at the bar…Here we had a mutual hug. No-one else I was with seen him though and thought I was just making it up. Then I found him outside…genius..another hug. Thinking about it…quite easy to find 2 people in bright yellow t-shirts in a crowd of black :D

Know your enemy

Friday, May 30th, 2008

from the rays of the sun…

Straight off the train from oban it was to work then to the pub before heading to see public enemy. A big squad from work headed to the courtyard (our local (they love gomez in there (the band)). From here to the bierhalle a knew one popped up on sauchiehall street, where i consumed about 2 pizzas and a hotdog and a half.

The gig itself was magic. Missed edan which I really wanted to see but food had the beter of me. Upon arrival I had to ask someone if Dr octagon had been on yet only for him to say “this is him on now”, and had been for the 20 mins i’d been there. with kool keith none the less…he’s kool.

another support was from the bomb squad the producers of their It Takes a Nation of Millions to Hold Us Back album…didn’t like it much but the bass was quite impressive.

Seen Them a few years back in Aberdeen when i took a certain tommy Hart out for his birthday. But this night was special it was their 20th anniversary of It Takes a Nation of Millions to Hold Us Back. the highest ranking hip hop album in the rolling stones top 500 albums by the way. They did indeed rock. The crowd went mental…was difficult not to get involved. Lots of white boys dancing…was hilarious. Fun was has by all. If they pop up round your neck of the woods go see them…even if you’re not a fan…well worth a look in.

Ladytron @ Oran Mor

Wednesday, May 14th, 2008

Last night my fellow work mate feli persuaded me to go see ladytron. Usual run of practice, out for pints and “go on, you know you want to” I don’t need much convincing. Seen them a few times before…but they were always just supporting. Had a wee listen to the new album and had to go really (It’s called Velocifero…go have a listen). I didn’t take my camera so had to settle for this off their new album. Like this track it’s a bit dr who…esque and hey the video has fit women with wolves…winner. The support was pretty bad…I can’t even remember their name.

Be your own pet @ Oran mor

be your own pet

Lets play spot the difference from last nights gig…hmmm. This one was magic. knew nothing about the band other than it was a little bit punky. Great fun, ended up having a night out in the buff club where i had to eventually leave to get mixed pakora…genius.

Oh and she’s the singer…not a random :)

Jack Glass @ King tuts

father christmas rocks it!

Magic, let it be known this night is still ongoing. If ever there was going to be a picture that summed up an evening it would be this one. Tried my luck at relatively heavy metal. Went and seen jack glass after lee managed to wangle some free tickets as he’s building the site on the side and i did some bits on the side. Genius. Was like watching a really hard level on guitar hero. Didn’t even see the final act as we were too busy watching people play guitar hero. Now we’re off to watch labyrinth…it doesn’t get much better. Also along the way i met this fella who was clearly a proper rocker at the prime age of 63 drank bacardi and coke all night…RAWK!

Hotchip @ Barrowlands

Wednesday, February 27th, 2008

Last night me and macca partook? in wee bit of tuesday night gigage. Great fun…good Alan Partridge like dancing. Support from Matthew dear which was also very good. Lots of filthy food and cheap beer…all in all another classic. To follow shortly the 5 stages of gig dancing…

Scrobble on!

Dan Deacon @ Nice n Sleazy

Wednesday, December 5th, 2007

This is awesome. Went and seen Dan Deacon Last night and my word did it live up to my amazingly high expectations. Been listening to his album spiderman of the rings constantly. Accidently bumped into a video on youtube after having another inspiring last.fm recommendation. Thankyou last. The only way I can describe this gig is imagine some weird primary school music lesson based on trippy electronic equipment and your teacher was eddie izzard. Fun Fun Fun was had. Silly dancing was had by all. He didn’t bother with the stage just put a table in the middle genius. His equipment was equally as bizzare which apparently he just finds. loved it. loved it. Went with richie who i think actually loved it more than christmas. Great gig awesome night out topped only with a scooby snack on the way home. Magic.
