So is anyone else's grandpa in a B&S video then? Cos mine is. I discovered this the other day while watching the dog on wheels video for the second time, and almost fell off my seat when I realised who the old man Stuart is asking directions or something from in Byres road was. I had to rewind the video about three times to make sure I wasn't dreaming. My grandpa, preserved in history even when he joins the choir invisible. I haven't told him yet, though. I haven't told my grandpa either. I've heard mumblings of a Nick Drake tribute concert being held in London in September with actual good proper people playing. I don't suppose anyone can give me any details of exactly who might play and when exactly it is could they? Fank you. Ooh, here's a nice bit of the Tigermilk review from the Glasgow Herald penned by that lovely Mr David Belcher: "...If this isn't one of the 10 most affecting debut albums in musical history, you can come round and eat my hat. Worth gifts of gold; frankincense and myrrh - plus your dying breath and all the tea in China." Oh, and Flo said:
I suppose some of the Glasgow members of the list went to see Godspeed You Black Emperor! on Monday, since the topic was being discussed on the NG a while ago. I'm so jealous!!! GYBE! are so good, and Mogwai coming as surprise support.... that's unfair!!!
I did go but unfortunately missed Mogwai due to Miss Ailsa Ross' boyfriend's germs (boring story, doesn't matter). Howver I did see Godspeed.. who were indeed very good, a bit like having your head pulled off and your heart pulled out simultaneously. Which is a good thing.
