Can't wait for Sublime Frequencies gig. Really psyched about this.
Also, Pocahaunted at Arc Studios, of all places, on June 15. Smashing!

if one of you can get a venue to put on the Red Bull Dozers i think it'll make a good premise for a FAP

ken "save-a-finn" c (ken c), Friday, 12 June 2009 11:18 (fourteen years ago) link

Paisley's right next to Glasgow airport... Does that help?

Keith, Friday, 12 June 2009 11:24 (fourteen years ago) link

ken "save-a-finn" c (ken c), Friday, 12 June 2009 13:21 (fourteen years ago) link

ken "save-a-finn" c (ken c), Friday, 12 June 2009 13:27 (fourteen years ago) link

Kenneth, does this mean you are attending The Wedding? Whoo! Do you have somewhere to stay already, because we will be there, and we live right next to Glasgow Airport and have a sofabed/sofas for crashing on if necessary.

ailsa, Friday, 12 June 2009 16:37 (fourteen years ago) link

ailsa that will be amazing actually - i am catching the plane that goes away at 7am the next morning though would that be a problem????

ken "save-a-finn" c (ken c), Friday, 12 June 2009 20:18 (fourteen years ago) link

Not really, no, we'll sort you out with taxi numbers and that, it'll be fine. Just come back to ours after the wedding and we'll take it from there. Absolutely no problem at all.

ailsa, Friday, 12 June 2009 22:07 (fourteen years ago) link

thanks ailsa that's great see you v soon!

can anyone tell me who "sarah bash" was? it's definitely a glasgow/west of scotland thing, i think, that people called sarah a generation or two ago were nicknamed "sarah bash" but i can't find the origin of it.

jed_, Sunday, 14 June 2009 22:07 (fourteen years ago) link

Anything to do with this lady?

Glasgow: Less grey than it's said to be

stet, Thursday, 25 June 2009 15:00 (fourteen years ago) link

I kept hoping I'd see RJG and Ally C.

Alba, Thursday, 25 June 2009 18:05 (fourteen years ago) link

haha, me too.

ailsa, Thursday, 25 June 2009 21:10 (fourteen years ago) link

the most amazing thing on the internet!

it's like Hongroe without the autotune

fucken cumstomers (sic), Friday, 26 June 2009 02:35 (fourteen years ago) link

At least the internet can see where that blonde piece lives.

Dalzinho, Friday, 26 June 2009 08:02 (fourteen years ago) link

It's gone. :/

Alba, Friday, 26 June 2009 11:51 (fourteen years ago) link

yeah :(

cozwn, Friday, 26 June 2009 11:53 (fourteen years ago) link

Did someone upset Luca on the YT comments?

Alba, Friday, 26 June 2009 11:54 (fourteen years ago) link

I didn't quite understand the blonde girl's place in the whole thing. Did Luca just spy on her over the road? Or were they friends from the start?

Alba, Friday, 26 June 2009 11:55 (fourteen years ago) link

Actually, there were two blonde girls, weren't there? Anyway, the one who lived opposite.

Alba, Friday, 26 June 2009 11:56 (fourteen years ago) link

OK, I didn't watch this. I had a very, very quick look and went "meh, OK, some kind of in-joke or something". Can someone explain what I missed, taking care to distort and exaggerate as much as possible? Ta muchly.

a tiny, faltering megaphone (grimly fiendish), Friday, 26 June 2009 23:42 (fourteen years ago) link

thank christ this is gone. i watched it 20 times yesterday and it woke up with it playing in my head. i spent all of today with it stuck there, i thought i was going crazy.

jed_, Friday, 26 June 2009 23:54 (fourteen years ago) link

You missed our hero coming over from Milan on Ryanair, finding out that Glasgow occasionally has a bit of blue sky, visiting two people he barely knew who lived on Clouston St, meeting their blonde pal who sings songs, eating cake, smiling a bit, then in the super feel-good finish, coming to live here. On - yes! - Clouston St. best video yet made.

stet, Saturday, 27 June 2009 00:08 (fourteen years ago) link

you missed out the bit where he includes lots of shots of the outside of the blonde pal's house.

jed_, Saturday, 27 June 2009 00:36 (fourteen years ago) link

(who was in my friend's son's year at school!)

jed_, Saturday, 27 June 2009 00:36 (fourteen years ago) link

The Devil's Avocado (Gukbe), Saturday, 27 June 2009 01:08 (fourteen years ago) link

It's gone? Never mind, I still have it on the brain. Catchy as crabs, that tune.

Madchen, Saturday, 27 June 2009 08:32 (fourteen years ago) link

Alba, Saturday, 27 June 2009 09:13 (fourteen years ago) link

Alba, Saturday, 27 June 2009 09:14 (fourteen years ago) link

Thanks Alba, facilitator of social networking!

What's on fire, Glasgow? There's a rather inconvenient house in the way not letting me see where all the smoke is coming from across the river from my house.

ailsa, Saturday, 27 June 2009 09:35 (fourteen years ago) link

all sorted cheers guys! waiting for plane now xx

ken "save-a-finn" c (ken c), Saturday, 27 June 2009 10:45 (fourteen years ago) link

What is on fire is the same scrapyard that was on fire before. It's this side of the river, and was causing delays to flights because it was blowing smoke all over the flightpath to Glasgow Airport, but Ken will be delighted to know it's calmed down a bit now.

ailsa, Saturday, 27 June 2009 11:39 (fourteen years ago) link

So, tomorrow I will be at the 13th Note's "Rumble In The Jumble" event in the afternoon from 12pm onwards showing off and selling prints in my Crimson Glow Photography guise.

There's lots of other arty/crafty/bric-a-brac stalls, cocktails, food, board games, DJs and then bands in the evening. Free entry, of course.

If anyone fancies it, then please do come along for a browse, maybe even buy something, and at the very least say hi!

ken "save-a-finn" c (ken c), Monday, 29 June 2009 11:22 (fourteen years ago) link

This is gold. I live just off Clouston Street, in Sanda Street. I have fond memories of Clouston St. Ken - our mutual friend Kate used to stay there in a great party flat. The wall between the kitchen and the lounge had been knocked down, so you had this massive open plan room. Perhaps I should write a song about Sanda Street. Unfortunately I don't have any beautiful girls living next door, at least as far as I know.

Stew, Monday, 29 June 2009 12:25 (fourteen years ago) link

Try to chain it down to Glasgow Cross :)

A wee plug for myself for anyone in Glasgow over the last two weeks of July...

Crimson Glow Photography presents "It's Not Red", a solo photography exhibtion at the 13th Note, Glasgow, from Monday 20th July to Sunday 2nd August 2009.

An exhibition of live music photography and sonic terrorism in visual form, from the depths of Glasgow's own underground weirdness to the hallowed international heights of touring musical marauders.

http://krakow.zenfolio.com/img/v3/p438758894-11.jpg

Entry, as ever, is free. Please do come along at some point during the exhibition to take a look. Features Throbbing Gristle, Hermann Nitsch, Richard Youngs, Glasgow Implodes and many others...

http://krakow.zenfolio.com/img/v6/p538505263-11.jpg

Prints are now available to buy in Avalanche Records, Glasgow and should also be available in Monorail Music before too long and from the 13th Note during the exhibtion itself, as well as directly from myself, of course.

http://krakow.zenfolio.com/img/v8/p329600658-11.jpg

Vist my website for plenty more photographs from Glasgow's gigs and beyond and feel free to contact me with any photographic requests or enquiries, be it for prints, photo usage, or photography work.

Email: itsnot✧✧✧@gm✧✧✧.c✧✧

Thanks very much for reading.
