Are you going to see them tomorrow night at the Forum?
Not too fussed about seeing the Fall live again, but Future Of The Left, Hookworms Goat Girl and Tigercub is an amazing line-up.
Is this for the all-dayer? I’m not going but the line up is insane for the price.
Yeah. I don’t know why they’ve called it an all-dayer though - the first band aren’t on until 4.45.
All-eveninger!
I think I’m spending all my energy on resisting whining about the cold. But then I’m whining about not being able to allow myself to whine about it. Basically it’s fecking cold.
Going to a gig tonight. It’s a one man grindcore violin act that’s playing in an empty house with no heating! and it’s bring your own booze. Should be a good one!
Today’s already great because yesterday I bought six cans of deodorant on amazon prime. 6 cans, 12 quid, delivered in less than 24 hours. The world’s not so bad.
Right I just bought tickets to see girl band in Dublin in 3 weeks time, @Kallgeese you gonna be in Dublin that night?!
Day off today, going to visit my sister in Leipzig for the weekend. Edinburgh was nice and crisp this morning
On the train to Glasgow now for the flight. Listening to ‘Pod Save America’, it’s pretty good
NOOOOOOO WAY. My housemate is DJ-ing at that gig! Dublin DiS meet up!
Just appreciating the phrase ‘shit-eating grin’ which I always enjoy.
Amazing, DiS Irish meat
What’s that venue like?!
Me too, don’t use it enough.
Was watching cocktail the other night and it popped back into my head
I don’t really understand the mechanics of it. I wouldn’t be grinning if I was eating shit.
Me neither
