Went out last night with Shoozie and Sk8agrrl. Went to Strathclyde Uni to see some bands but only I would have got in with passport ID. The other two tried to get rid of me by telling me to go in, but I refused, as the idea of a night on my own stuck in an elitist student ponceathon didn't appeal.
We went to the Solid Rock Cafe for awhile, then went to Rockers bar. The first band were young Nirvana fans, who sounded exactly the same as loads of other young Nirvana fans in bands I've seen. The 2nd band were very loud, I'm still deaf in my left ear. I thought they were ok, but talked way too much and had too long a set. We had a group of Strokes wannabes sitting next to us, they didn't appreciate this band. Turned out they were there for the 3rd band, a fop up front, someone who looked about 13 in a Morrissey tshirt on bass and a drummer. The fop made a needless snide remark regarding the previous band. They were ok, but think a cross between The Small Faces, Donovan and Belle And Sebastian, remove the talent and replace it with a self obsessed egomaniac. We left during their set.
Met one of my mates on the way to meet Shoozie and Sk8agrrl. Last time I met him he'd fallen off the wagon, back on drink and drugs. He's back onboard and working as a bodyguard. Says it's very boring, sounds appealing, will need to get info from him.
Got phonecall from my mum today. She'd had to get my/our 16 year old cat, Shnaz, put down today. She was the sole survivor of my 2 cats and 3 dogs, seems like the end of an era.
