For faaaar too long I believed the Aberdeen art scene was worth an effort. It’s not. It’s weird neoliberal city that barely cares about art unless it is a populist flashy legacy devoid spectacle. This old codger is finally developing long overdue cultural myopia.
BBC stating as fact Bob Vylan shouted ‘death to IDF soldiers’. That is not what was said and plain wrong. ‘Death, death to the IDF’ is easily not about killing soldiers but getting rid of a brutal criminal military regime.
Evri are the worst!
Katy Perry is a ‘member of the crew’. I wonder which but of the craft and its flight/fall she has responsibility for? 😂
I basically need to get some research funding to put a body of work together that can inform artists how to force organisations and institutions to move beyond their commodification. Or to not need organisations and take direct control of agendas.
Spent the 10 years plus of my life actively giving a fuck about the arts in Aberdeen. That’s taken me into my 60’s. I have zip to show for it other than a disdain for arts ‘leadership’ and institutional monopolising of agendas. I have grown a keen interest in fucking with the system though.
Animal cruelty is frowned upon and a chargeable offence in many case but Grand National is okay. Horses are abused and die FFS.
£15 and up for tribute acts. I could probably be earning and okay sum of money if not for hating tribute acts and covers bands.
So, went all in for a pair of EarPods Pro 2. Wanted smooth integration with my phone also for hearing protection. Can keep volume down and experience up. These thing are like science fiction for my listening experience. A treat for being 60 in a few weeks. They are incredible.
New iPhone 16 not liking my legit bank cards. ‘Invalid card ‘messages when adding card from inside the banking app. What have you done Apple? Also sending me a code for me to check when pairing with earphones. 🤔 iOS getting a bit dumb.
Wish governments would stop playing friends with the US.
How much does a bloody state visit cost the tax payer. All just to appease the ego of that bleached urangutan’s anus?
I’m playing this with my wee band that are great!
The Dons are a dreadful waste of time and money.
The west is in panic mode about Russia’s military. Anyone paying attention to how ineffective they are in Ukraine and how the war is starting to impact the economy. Hardly a massive threat, other than nuclear, to other countries.
Stars and planets looking grand tonight. Even the few we can see in the city centre. Planets are aligning.

Life coach and husband warned not to go to Iran by ‘everyone’ fucked around and found out. Dumb is as dumb does.
I’d like the iPod to be a thing again.
We absolutely cannot let James Watt achieve his ambition of becoming a serious media figure. If he wants to carry on making pineapple flavoured beer, he’s very welcome to. Anything and everything else needs to be immediately checked and throttled at the root.
I’d imagine Aberdeen city centre’s evening this weekend will be awash with tripods and cameras. Mind your feet everyone.
When you hover your cursor over the folder of revised and new plans you had for your arts organisation and then drag and drop it into the bin.
Labour? Nah! Not for decades!
Was anyone was really expecting anything better from @afc.co.uk? Can’t score and can’t defend.
Well, that feels like another lurgy setting in.
Brilliant news. I believe Aberdeens Multi year applications all went pretty well. A confidence boost for the local sector.
Does getting towards the end of a really good note book/sketch book, 50+ pages, trigger a burning need for a new one? Don’t think I’ve ever finished one of either. Have a particularly lovely notebook that has all my plans from last year but feeling like a clean slate will be healthy.
Ace. Last of these sessions was mobbed and this one feeds right into the gig we are the support for.
