Liquid room, Edinburgh. Saturday 28th of November. Maybe those of you elsewhere in the country should see if there's a gig near you. If there are two, then there's probably a tour happening.

My week, including NMN.
Jul. 11th, 2004 09:08 pmI'm going to blame having been away for so long for me having forgotten the First Law of Edinburgh Shopping - the answer to the question "Where can I get [almost anything]" is usually GoGS.

On Wednesday I went through to Glasgow to see NMN. They went on a little (I'm getting very intolerant of people who don't write three-minute songs) but were generally excellent. There was a bloke near us in a blue Tshirt who'd never heard of them, had no idea what they were like and stood stonyfaced and unimpressed right the way through. You hear that sort of thing about comedians in Glasgow, but I've not seen anyone do it to a band before. I can't imagine why he didn't leave.

On Thursday I went to the pub with![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
akicif, Jenny, and Gary and Georgia from Bloco Vomit (They looked more familiar than they would from the one time I saw them perform a few years ago, though - I've probably bumped into them like that since), who are still going and playing, apparently. Must go see them again.. After they left, Andrew H and Jane turned up.
On Friday I had a The Birds experience with one of the KB seagulls, and then went to the pub withgrahamb.
On Saturday I went to the shops, both literally and figuratively. More records, in spite of the fact that I've already got too many.
If you are Scottish, tragedy!
And to answer another question I'd had buzzing around,

http://inventors.about.com/library/inventors/bltoaster.htm, and
http://www.cbc.ca/kids/general/the-lab/history-of-invention/slicedbread.html.
I am somewhat intrigued by this record review from Friday's Guardian. If anyone has heard anything by HIdden Camera . . . is it any good? What's it like? There's a review online that says they're a bit like the Polyphonic Spree, but as it doesn't make any mention of flagrant obscenity it might actually be talking about a different band.
And anyone requiring further proof that they are an entirely unique band is directed to I Want Another Enema, which, it is safe to say, is the catchiest song ever written about wanting another enema.
