ah boo, why wasn't I around to give Urusei Yatsura at least one measly vote?

Maybe this was mentioned elsewhere, but did anyone else watch that documentary 'Caledonia Dreaming' on BBC4 on Friday? As a history of Postcard Records it was a bit flimsy, as a history of Scottish pop since then it was a total travesty I thought.

Random bits of annoyance: Fran Healey; Teenage Fanclub "an influence on Nirvana and the Pixies" my arse; No JAMC!; No Pastels!; I'm not a fan or anything but, um, no Big Country?; err lots of other stuff too probably

Also - total shocker seeing Edwyn Collins in that programme that followed :o(

Edwyn is playing Glasgow in april or may.

Well good luck to him, it did look like he had got a lot better than he was to start with. Wonder if he's got his right arm back yet or not.

Also re 'Caledonia Dreaming' - I hate that thing they do in music documentaries where they run out of footage and keep doing close up shots of the label of the same one record over and over again. Buy another single you stingy bastards or something.

it was dreadful. they didn't even mention aztec camera! there were only four bands on postcard, c'mon. wall to wall hue and cry. i even glimpsed fish on screen for about a second. the footage of alan horne and edwyn in their pomp was great though. the edwyn documentary that followed was heartbreaking.

Teenage Fanclub "an influence on Nirvana and the Pixies" my arse;

... and yet you losers voted for Belle & Sebastian.

... and it was here, in the bogs of the Variety Bar, in 1994, Stuart Murdoch had a particularly satisfying shit having lately consumed a sausage supper from the chippy across the road...

Ivor wins in my heart but also Dawson and Lapsus Linguae.

Can't believe nobody voted for Lonnie D. Or that Vazz weren't nominated

ABBA? Sweden's answer to Middle of the Road, that's all.
