How about a Nazi uniform, they're all the rage.

An RAF jacket with a swastika armband for maximum crossover appeal.

― Madchen (Madchen), Friday, 14 January 2005 13:37 (nineteen years ago) link

The brim on that hat looks too wide for it to be the DOW vid one.

DOW vid FEATURING ALLY'S GRANDAD I meant to say.

Keith, if you poor arse is broken in half, do you consider it half full or half empty?

― Mooro (Mooro), Friday, 14 January 2005 19:31 (nineteen years ago) link

That's a bit of a half-arsed effort isn't it?

― KeithW (kmw), Friday, 14 January 2005 20:10 (nineteen years ago) link

Are Oxfam selling my Grandpa, too?

― Ally C (Ally C), Friday, 14 January 2005 21:40 (nineteen years ago) link

I bought him. very cheap. affordable, nice too.

a lie.

― cºzen (Cozen), Saturday, 15 January 2005 00:04 (nineteen years ago) link

He's not nice.

― Ally C (Ally C), Saturday, 15 January 2005 02:06 (nineteen years ago) link

Ally, you're so rude. He looks a very nice, helpful man, in the film.

(Not clingfilm.)

Mark E Smith dun his hip in as well, same way, but in Newcastle.

― Madchen (Madchen), Monday, 17 January 2005 13:20 (nineteen years ago) link

There's another thing I have in common with him then.

― KeithW (kmw), Monday, 17 January 2005 13:29 (nineteen years ago) link

Actually, hang on, I've nothing in common with him at all.

― KeithW (kmw), Monday, 17 January 2005 13:30 (nineteen years ago) link

Smith was well hard, he checked himself out before he was mended and got a pal to drive him back to Salford.

― Madchen (Madchen), Monday, 17 January 2005 16:55 (nineteen years ago) link

Keith, didn't you ever run into Mark E Smith when he was an Edinburgh Man?

From: Lynsey
Q.Hey Stevie, hows it going? Hope the new year finds you well! I may be abusing the Q & A section here, but are you playing a solo show in Glasgow on the 21st by any chance? I heard something about St Mary's Cathedral but I can't seem to find any concrete details, times etc, anywhere...?
A.
Yes well there is a Small Creatures show on friday at St Mary's also featuring Dot2Dot and some films..I'm going to be on first crooning some country numbers to try and get used to singing again. I get pretty freaked out by these things so I've not been telling anybody so keep it under your hat..okay!

Stevie - 17/01/05

(I doubt very much St Mary's Cathedral is made of concrete.)

― Peter Stringbender (PJ Miller), Monday, 17 January 2005 20:18 (nineteen years ago) link

what is the world coming 2?

― Cathy (Cathy), Monday, 17 January 2005 20:22 (nineteen years ago) link

Like the Prince-style talk there...

Mr.Stringbender, sad to say no, although several legendary people that no-one seems 2 know but everyone knows about said they met him when he lived here. Grimly Fiendish, who posts on ILM lived in a flat opposite an address that's mentioned in one of his songs.

I don't know 4 how long he was an "Edinburgh Man" for 2 be honest. I'm not a huge fan of the band, though he's very funny. There's a bit in Stuart Maconie's biography that's him interviewing Smith in a pub that I go to quite frequently.

― KeithW (kmw), Monday, 17 January 2005 22:09 (nineteen years ago) link

I can see this numbers game being a continuing problem...

― Ally C (Ally C), Tuesday, 18 January 2005 00:49 (nineteen years ago) link

That wasn't Cathy, it was RJG and so is this.

― Cathy (Cathy), Tuesday, 18 January 2005 02:04 (nineteen years ago) link

How disappointing, I thought you were going to say it was Prince.

― KeithW (kmw), Tuesday, 18 January 2005 15:01 (nineteen years ago) link

well, in a way!

when I get signed to rough trade, I am going to release an album of amyl nitrate-fuelled prince covers called "the prince & the poppers".

― RJG (RJG), Tuesday, 18 January 2005 15:05 (nineteen years ago) link

Is St Mary's Cathedral *the* cathedral, the one near the necropolis? I thought that was St Mungo's. Perhaps it is just a clever name for a bar.

― Peter Stringbender (PJ Miller), Tuesday, 18 January 2005 15:58 (nineteen years ago) link

That's what I thought; St.Mary's Cathedral is in Edinburgh. On Palmerston Place.

― KeithW (kmw), Tuesday, 18 January 2005 16:02 (nineteen years ago) link

st. mary's is on the great western road.

― RJG (RJG), Tuesday, 18 January 2005 16:33 (nineteen years ago) link

The Gilbert Scott church?

― Peter Stringbender (PJ Miller), Tuesday, 18 January 2005 16:34 (nineteen years ago) link

Where's St.Midge's?

― KeithW (kmw), Tuesday, 18 January 2005 16:34 (nineteen years ago) link

st. mary's edin.=GGS, yes.

― RJG (RJG), Tuesday, 18 January 2005 16:40 (nineteen years ago) link

Funny, I haven't seen Mary, Mungo and Midge since I was a kid, but a quick look up the web reveals its "gritty" nature, something I never noticed before:

Dot to Not in Metro.

― Madchen (Madchen), Friday, 21 January 2005 13:24 (nineteen years ago) link

I am trying Spain more at the moment, but am trying Glasgow in spirit, or something. Have fun tonight kids.

― ailsa (ailsa), Friday, 21 January 2005 13:36 (nineteen years ago) link

No, *you* have fun.

― Peter Stringbender (PJ Miller), Friday, 21 January 2005 13:38 (nineteen years ago) link

the grapevine says 'the best band in the whole fucking world' are playing tonight.

― cozen (Cozen), Friday, 21 January 2005 13:52 (nineteen years ago) link

Oh OK, have fun. More than Ailsa.

How exciting. Go, Dot2Dot, go!

― Peter Stringbender (PJ Miller), Friday, 21 January 2005 14:18 (nineteen years ago) link

Doctor Doctor even have their own thread on the Bowlie board. Amongst what Carslime calls the 'Kitchenettes'.

― Mooro (Mooro), Friday, 21 January 2005 16:46 (nineteen years ago) link

.2. CorD? Thread now.

― Madchen (Madchen), Friday, 21 January 2005 16:58 (nineteen years ago) link

Ha ha - Carslime!

― Lara (Lara), Friday, 21 January 2005 21:51 (nineteen years ago) link

We need some hardcore Reporting Back, either here or ELSEWHERE (but not the Kitchenettes, I can never remember where it is).

Tsunami relief concert tickets on sale now - line up includes Frank Ferguson, Band S and Mogwai.

http://www.secctickets.com/

Reporting back: The band played better in general than at the Winchester, but the sound was shit. The wife of a record label wants to see them in a smaller venue with proper sound. They have nifty under-pew heating in churches these days. Three strange people danced in the aisle. A lot of people left after the main attraction so the Main Attraction had a smaller audience. Momus' cousin sang backing vocals for Stevie Reverb.

― Madchen (Madchen), Sunday, 23 January 2005 11:10 (nineteen years ago) link

I have just realised I will be in London on Saturday 19th February, so I have four standing tickets for the Tsunami gig for sale at exactly the price I paid for them - £28.67 each. Yes, I did gift aid. :((((

― Madchen (Madchen), Sunday, 23 January 2005 13:19 (nineteen years ago) link

Colin MacIntyre of Mull Historical Society said the natural disaster has shaken everyone: “I don’t think there’s been anything like this in our lifetimes.

“I’m already playing on February 19 at King Tut’s Wah Wah Hut, and I was planning to have a collection . I’m still going to play both gigs, so I’m going to have a drumkit in each venue and whip across Glasgow, like Phil Collins in Band Aid, but with more hair.”

― Onimo (GerryNemo), Sunday, 23 January 2005 13:28 (nineteen years ago) link

Me and my friend have done a night out in Glasgow and Edinburgh on the same night. This I feel was more in the spirit of Collins at Live aid.

― KeithW (kmw), Sunday, 23 January 2005 13:49 (nineteen years ago) link

So I take it NO ONE will be coming to the gig I'm putting on on the 19th? If I can find a venue...

Peachy.

― Ally C (Ally C), Sunday, 23 January 2005 14:49 (nineteen years ago) link

OK maybe I will just cancel that gig. Ugh.

― Ally C (Ally C), Sunday, 23 January 2005 16:13 (nineteen years ago) link

saturday looks bad.

― RJG (RJG), Sunday, 23 January 2005 16:39 (nineteen years ago) link

I would come Ally.

― Peter Stringbender (PJ Miller), Sunday, 23 January 2005 20:59 (nineteen years ago) link

Alba's last words to me this morning were to try Glasgow more.

― Captain GRRRios' Giggletits (Barima), Sunday, 23 January 2005 21:00 (nineteen years ago) link

he says that on his death bed.
