I know Reynolds is anathema to noise fans cos he likes girly things like danceable rhythms but his argument is all the more relevent now. Rather than enjoy noise for its own sake, its rhetoricians have to peddle the same old line about how it challenges everything and totally freaks out the squares man.
i don't hear any of these arguments from anyone. the people i know who like experimental music like it for its own sake, not because they think it's freaking out squares or anyone else apart from maybe the people who listen to the music (and often want to be freaked out by it). i feel like i am bombarded by noise music day after day and it often does my fuckin head in, it's just that that brand of noise is made by pussycat dolls or rachel stevens or franz ferdinand and is almost unavoidable. it's not all total shite but it often depressesor annoys me after the 20th listen. People who make experimental music are not under any illusions that it's permeating the mainstream or "freaking out" the general public. they are well aware of it's limited audience but thank god it's an audience that is fairly well catered for in Scotland. a great deal of the music is so quiet people would have a hard time hearing it even it it was playing.

none of it extremely noisy but if people can find pockets to hear the music they want to (even if it's their own living room) then thats a good thing, after all. i'm not saying that anyone on this thread is saying otherwise (even cathy ;-) )

Stet, were you there? As I was leaving, I saw someone who looked like you sitting at the bar but I couldn't be arsed going over to find out if it was or not. If it wasn't you, you have a doppelganger of sorts (I only had one contact lens in, so I may be very wrong).
Anyway, RJG, Alba, Dahlin, Stew were all present and correct, making it a mini-FAP in separate parts, I suppose.
But... Scotland v Belarus! I'd forgotten about that.
What about the Friday of that week?

Z-list celeb count = Stephen Pastel, Gerry Love, Duglas T Stewart. There must have been more, but I was only there for about half an hour, minus one contact lens.
I keep getting Dot 2 Dot songs stuck in my head. This must be some sort of good. But not for me, haha (this morning it is "Dusty Cover").

We talked about this before and decided it would be nice to make it a semi-regular occurrence, rather than just drinking --> falling over in a ruined heap. So perhaps little Russian place some other time, if there are too many people this time.

Better to eat some Russian first, and then do that? Cossachok is rather small, but I don't know that it's ever particularly busy either. If the average FAP attendance is, say, 10 then perhaps a table should be booked for slightly over that number? And the reservation made under the name 'Ilks' to hide any possible embarassment. Ho!
