Re: Gigs 2014
Went to see Tom Hingley - ex Inspirals frontman in Glasgow last Friday night. He was doing an acoustic set and was very good, mainly his solo stuff but did his own take on a few of the better known Inspirals songs. He was in good voice and I was surprised at how accomplished he was on guitar. Also g...

Re: GIGS,GIGS AND MORE GIGS!
Both The Damned and Stiff Little Fingers were excellent last time I saw them.
Off to see They Might Be Giants in Edinburgh next Friday at the Queen's Hall.

Re: Last book read
All Hell Let Loose - Max Hastings account of WW2 - good overview of the conflict.
Before that I was reading F Scott Fitzgerald collection on kindle, The Great Gatsby and Tender is the Night both excellent, if a little bleak, especially the latter story.

Re: The Bedroom Tax
The real losers in all this are going to be cash strapped local authorities, though as someone who works for a local authority I guess I would say that lol. In terms of PR it would be a nightmare for councils to go for evictions for rent arrears so the likely upshot of this ill thought out policy wi...

Re: "Syria to be attacked" within two weeks.

Re: Most Overated band ever.
Always thought Arctic Monkeys sound like they've only got one or possibly two songs tops and they just jam on those basic tunes and add lyrics, hey presto, its the same old song but with a different meaning. Great thing about music is everyone has their own opinion, Personally I really like The Clas...
