Sons & Daughters are great if you don't hate guitar bands entirely. I noticed on your musicmobs page that THE STROKES are by far you're top-played artist, so I guess you don't. It's at Sleazy's and only two quid, so why don't give a whirl?

They were pretty amazing at Bunker the other night. Maybe Devo is the comparison I was looking for. I mean, I don't really know Devo, but I thought they must sound like something.

How far is it from Manchester to Glasgow? Would the unsuspecting visitor benefit more from a sojourn to Edinburgh or to Glasgow, or indeed to Dundee?
It's about three hours on the train. Through the Lake District - pretty. Edinburgh would take you longer, as it's on the East coast, but it's a WORLD HERITAGE SITE or something very pretty blah blah. Dundee? No, I don't think so. If I were you I'd want to go up to the Highland around Torridon or something. It's stunning, and not packed with people like the Lake District is. The English aristocracy got rid of them all har har. Talking of which, Sutherland is maybe my favourite county of all, but it's not as dramatic and is kind of spooky. It appeals to something deep in my psyche. But maybe you're not into the countryside.

I've now got Common People on my internal jukebox.
It is gritty, but it's also windy and the grit gets in your eye.

well the west end of Glasgow's about as gentrified as it could be, but if you want proper glasgow grit, go to easterhouse or yoker or possil. but you wouldn't want to go there. really.

Oor Wullie x-post upthread: Wullie and The Broons are both from Dundee. I remember a particular Wullie story where an uncle of his that had a car (which is, to this day, still a pretty big deal in Oor Wullie and The Broons) and took him to Edinburgh and Glasgow in the same day. Nobody at home believed it was physically possible until his postcards from both turned up. Therefore city remote from both Edinburgh and Glasgow but has lots of tenements = Dundee. (But you still don't want to go there Mary)
