Ian McCulloch tonight....roll Call

Well hello, I am struggling to find my way around here now…. Its like someone came in whilst I was out and moved all my furniture.

Anyway it is the mighty talented Ian McCulloch tonight.

Who is going?

I know I am, well unless it sells out. Is there any news on the tickets front?

sorry, but i am going to a free scotch tasting event, with free food as well.

Free food and booze eh?

Just dont call it scotch in scotchland or else they will look at you funny.

Sorry, but I have never seen Ian. His new single is pretty decent too, as it happens.

i might go… any word on who is in his band? is it a bunch of formerly street busking scousers, or anyone of note. whats he doing material wise? right now i'm to lazy to search this info out.

I've heard that advance sales are low, so you don't need to worry about a sell-out. Let's go out and support Ian. I'm up for it!

They spell it Whisky in Scotland…. but I feel progree is beaing made. Anyone see that glacier move?

Sorry none for me I want to go and see what his openers are like and I am always nervous when I dont have a ticket that if I turn up late it will sell out……Plus I think Bungle Bud is in tow? where is BB?

yep i will be there, might be late, so bring me cds and i will bring yours, im driving into dc.

bugger, dont bring the cds ive just been roped into doing a load of work, looking like i wont be there, so if i dont make it i will exchange the cds at kosmos party.
i saw the bunnymen years ago!

Ahhh Bungle Bud, you complete git. I missed your post and had to carry those freeking CDs all night….. I almost sold them at CD game exchange today to extract revenge, but all they offered me was a used RATT album and 50 cents.

So what did anyone think of the show. I was shocked at how empty the club was. I really thought Ian McCulloch would be a big draw. I guess I have not even noticed that the 80s are over, apparently nor had most of the 200 "strong" crowd.

I thought he put on a fine show. His voice is great and some of the old songs are brilliant. I did think the velvet underground/Lou Reed covers were a bit odd, considering how many great songs Ian has written himself.

Still I enjoyed rocking out like an embarassing parent to "waiting for my man" if thats what is called? Thirsty?

If it was 50 Cent, then you've got yourself a deal.

Ah, I remember the good old days, when 50 cents was just half a dollar, Michael Jackson was black and Rock Hudson was a sex symbol….

What happened to those days?

it was all fields around here you know, a thousand apologies markie, i bet you looked like a right plonker carrying those lovely cds.

gee thanks Bungle. I guess I looked less of a plonker than I would have if I had been standing next to you…..

you missed a good show. BTW do you ever read/answer/reply to your email?

er…no, but for you i shall make an effort,i also dont pick up my phone when it rings or answer the door when someone knocks, but i always turn round when someone shouts "wanker".

WANKER!!!!!

so why didnt you like the delgados?

yes, i dont dislike it, its just not kicked me in the balls,its okay,abba are okay,status quo are not.

because Status Quo are great???

come on, join in for a chorus of Matchstick men and Matchstick cats and dogs……

It sums up the poor state of the American music listening public when Pete Yawn and Jack-off Johnson can sell out a venue, and the whole country is glued to the telly to watch some fat bastard sing some Neil Sedaka song against a homo singing some other pile of shit…. but guitar god's like Johhny Marr and talents such as McCulloch can only get a handful of people to show up…and you wonder why some bands skip this city completely. I hope Robbie Williams gets huge over here…because they deserve it!

So Mankie, why werent you at McCulloch? To busy watching search for talentless person?


The new Robbie Williams album is so bad the only thing it deserves to break is EMI's bank. He is alright though…Better than Jonson and Yawn, for sure
