Not bad.
And this from someone who doesn't like indie bands (but is from Glasgow).
Really like the 'auf achse' track: sounds like my eighties/nineties sexual frustration compressed into three minutes. Human League + Kraftwerk + Student Angst = FF 04. Also liked the tunes that were on the EP: something about "Ich bin sehr gut fantastisch" or whatever. Anyway, they're good - but I've been expecting them to be declared the saviours of indie music for about six months now and, no, the majority of it is still balls: good and entertaining balls, but still balls.
(That sounds like I don't like them but I actually do. Hurrah for Glaswegian bands.)

They're OK, but they're no Snow Patrol.
This is the first album i have bought in ages, and went straight onto my Minidisc player. Tis great! My favourite song has to be "The Darkness of the Matinee" 'tis very catchy...
Well if you are both in Glasgow then you missed THE BEST NIGHT EVA!!!! Not quite, but it was still very, very excellent. If you do one thing before you die it should be to see Twitch from Optimo DJ: he is truly brilliant. Tonight he did this crazy thing with the riff from Seven Nation Army by The White Stripes, and other crazy things with Teenage Kicks, Atomic and that song by the bird from S Club 7. Honestly, he is brilliant. Optimo is on every Sunday at the Sub Club: it's a fiver or something but worth every penny. Get down there! And give me a wave!
I am Glasgow, yes.
I am at Glasgow yes
But I will be working tonight I'm afraid

I've only been to the QMU once. I'm going again at the end of the month to see Coldcut and Kid Koala - woohoo!
Are you at Glasgow uni? If so I hope you'll be supporting your radio station tonight at the Arches. Six quid in advance, eight quid on the door. DJs from Optimo, Manga and more, some mad eighty-piece band, live breakdancing crew (less good), and most importantly MY BROTHER!!!!!!! He's the warm up but he's great anyway.

Ah, crap, that still makes me sound like a bitter cynic: they're cool, just not world-changingly cool.
