Rothesay Saint

High quality. A top five of albums appearing on here over the last month or so. 1. live - throwing copper 2. razorlight - up all night 3. garbage - version 2.0 4. eels - beautiful freak 5. my bloody valentine - loveless

As well as snow, hail and blizzards. Nice weather in Skye.

You need therapy.

Oh, and while I am here, Mylo is from Skye. I'm not willing to commit myself on his/her gender though.

So he is. I was thinking of a Hong Kong actress, goodness knows what her name is, obviously not Yoyo.

50s - Bobby Darin 60s - Beatles 70s - Mike Oldfield 80s - REM 90s- Radiohead Considering the 80s is supposed to be the worst decade for music, it was the hardest to choose, could have had Husker Du, Throwing Muses or OMD

.and YoYo Ma is a babe.

Aye, it's Miss Ho Chi Minh City now.

Thought as a sort of tribute I would pick top five songs I first heard on John Peel (although number 4 is a bit of a cheat, because I was already a belle and sebastian fan). I have taken all of mine from the 2001 festive 50, you can get a link to it here 1. Melys - 'Chinese Whispering' 2. Meanwhile, Back In Communist Russia - 'Morning after pill' 3. Ballboy - 'They'll hang flags from cranes' 4. Belle and Sebastian - 'Jonathan David' 5. Stereolab - 'Captain Easychord' Bought them all, thanks John!

1. Sugar - Clownmaster 2. Mike Oldfield - Omadawn. 3. REM - Endgame 4. Thousand Yard Stare- some track off the french import album, can't remember what it is called 5. errm, that one from the tarantino film, dick dale maybe? I'm struggling a bit, least I didn't have eny f**king mogwai.

He obviously only reads every 2000th post you make. I personally prefer reading anything by yer dug, pink elephants, mad genna and possibly even Carol Voderman?

Nonsense, Carol Decker was prime ginger.

You work for the STDs? Could be worse I suppose. Kalahari United Northern Tourist Services are still hiring.

Sugar - Tilted REM - The Outsiders Belly - Slow Dog Depeche Mode - Enjoy the Silence OMD - Electricity. I'm away to dig out some Ben Folds CDs.

Pedant Fuxake Toon.

Videos in general are crap. The only real exceptions are the beastie boys and radiohead so... 1. Intergalactic - Beastie Boys 2. Sabotage - Beastie Boys 3. Check it out - Beastie Boys 4. Forever live and die - OMD (Worst dancing ever!) 5. Just - Radiohead

The bit in Just (Radiohead) where the guitar spirals out leaving just the bass line. The backwards guitar solo in Crush with Eyeliner (R.E.M.) When Eddie Vedder wails "Why couldn't it be in mine" on Black (Pearl Jam) When Kirsten Hersch gives up singing and just screams on just about every early Throwing Muses track. and although I am not a big M+M fan, the bit where he starts laying in to Tipper Gore is fantastic.

Teenage Fanclub - Grand Prix Fugees - The Score Astrid - Strange Weather Lately Gogos - Return to the Valley of the Gogos Luna - Pup Tent

Amazingly no room for Phil Collins in my top 5 for today. Astrid - High Pavement - Date with Ikea XTC - Science Friction OMD - Dancing Symposium - Fairweather Friend

He suggested banning all TVs so that people wouldn't find out the truth about Campbeltown tonight.

Go the whole hog and get yourself a ladyboy.

1. Like wearing barbour jackets so support St. Johnstone 2. Like their sisters so support Falkirk 3. Like dodging soap so support Morton 4. Like ice hockey / speedway so support Livingston 5. Total Scum so support the old firm.

I was disappointed too.

Big Train was probably the funniest - non Armando Iannucci show ever.

It's OK, I am sure I will bump into them in the Rothesay pubs soon enough now that I am back. Staying up in Paisley this weekend, but enjoy the Rothesay pubs, I know I will next weekend.
