Spilth Spilth Baby, I'm Gonna Eat Your Baby

This is the glue to make your head spin.

wow.
pre-j sucked. monumentaly. i'm pretty sure we considered leaving.
then some intriguing men with face scarves and hoodies came on setting up apple equipment and such nonsense.
finally! time to begin.
more intrigued than anything we took to the dance floor. moreover, the bass was goooood.
it turned out well. there was a lack of jamie - i dream of seeing that guy dj - but they knew what they were doing. so much so i feel they were a little bit wasted on the people that were there (yeah so what?! i'm a snob.) it was FREE to get in. there was SPACE TO DANCE (large), the drinks were CHEAP (union) and the music was A LOT better than stuff you heard before(pre-j...) they are crowd pleasers, i enjoyed myself.
this climaxed at DIOYY? then we left when we realised their "crowd pleaser" was sex on fire (the pre-j did this, man... it's covered!) but they insisted. so we left. whatever. i enjoyed myself. virtual hugs to the band.  

also, some mini prayers were answered when i was handed a flyer for a £5 gig at 13th note. more details to follow, but it sounds sweet... google these guys ( descriptions from the flyer ) :

battle of wolf 359 - frantic, downtuned hardcore for fans of army of flying robots and enter shikari
resurrectionists - members of apoplexy twist orchestra playing chaotic hardcore
black channels - frantic local hardcore
citizens - better than metallica
carson wells - twiddly skreemo from aberdeen. think sinaloa.

i have had a nosy and its definitely worth the fiver.

GLOSSARY
pre-j = dj... before the main dj...

you poor souls. you have been devoid of spilth. i feel the need to spill all over you.

CAPTAIN KIDD'S BONEYARD EP IS OUT. They had a launch night at Maggie May's a couple of weeks back which yours truly provided some artwork for!

ideas are bulletproof.

Deja Vu?

50 years on and nothing's changed.

Happy Hogmany

Bringing the new year in in style at Optimo tonight. Now I just need to decide what to wear.

Drive-by Snowballing

It's proper snowing! It looks lovely.
What is not lovely is when some dick in a 4x4 thinks it would be funny to throw a snowball at you out the window of his car when you are concentrating all your energy on walking without falling over.
Wanker.

I don't know what to do for Hogmany this year. Thomas and I were thinking about going to this but then Optimo is having their Hogmany party literally across the street. Aaaaargh decisions.

IT IS SO DAMN COLD EVERYWHERE.

Spilth's first outing to Maggie May's last Friday to support Captain Kidd's Boneyard.

Spilth Edition 1

Countdown *imagine countdown clock song here*

So another Captain Kidd's Boneyard gig tonight but that's not all!
1st edition of the zine will be getting handed out. We're calling it a 1st edition but that makes it sound much more important than it is. We just weren't very organised and so have spent the last 24 hours doing pretty much everything for it.
We're only printing 30/35 to hand out tonight and then we'll be printing some more in the next couple of weeks.
So look out for them lying on a pub table near you soon.
Fab!

It had to be in the headlines of the Times and Le Monde
It had to be barked on TV

It had to be heard in alleys through ballroom doors

Yesterday Thomas and I went to Glasgow Green for the Anti BNP/SDL Rally. The weather started off proper crap but just as the group were walking along The Clyde the sun came out from behind the clouds and created the most amazing light.
It was great to see so many people outside, despite the weather, showing their support for something so important.
I have a million more pictures to post but I'm feeling lazy and this is my favourite.
Going to see Captain Kidd's Boneyard at Ivory Blacks tonight. It's going to kick ass.

Last night I went to see Captain Kidd's Boneyard play their first gig at Pivo Pivo. CKB were playing last. The crowd was mainly made up of band members and their girlfriends. By the time CKB came on there were about 10 of us left. SHAME ON THE REST OF YOU.
I'm going to sell these priceless works of art when they get famous.
