Mary - you seem more demented than ever, but you're welcome to try it.

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)

"UK is there aren't big abandoned sections of city"again, sheffield proves this fairly, if not very wrong. mazes of dead factories and warehouses, also cf. those whole rds of abandoned terraces in liverpool, newcastle etc.

never seen ot heard Multiplies, but i can vouch for Sons & Daughters. Saw them supporting Franz Ferdinand and they were great.
(wonder if they took their name from the Ozzie soap of yore?)

Sons & Daughters were great again last night, but they cheekily claimed that it was their first headlining gig. What about the Winchester Club a year ago, you rotters?
Pro Forma were pretty good too.
