Kevin Carr's Gloves 3205 Posted November 17, 2023 Share Posted November 17, 2023 Honestly neither the hydro or the O2 Academy have bars nearby. Just go into town and hit the Bier Halle on Gordon street 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sammynb 2929 Posted November 17, 2023 Share Posted November 17, 2023 Scored a free ticket for Interpol on Sunday night. Still undecided if I'll go see Brian Jonestown Massacre's last gig of their six month world tour, next Friday. Anton will be wound up like a fucking spring, so could be amazing or he could drop his guitar and fight everyone in the room - 50/50 bet knowing him. Then Alvvays in a couple of weeks.

Just go into town and hit the Bier Halle on Gordon street Lived round the corner from the Great Western Road branch years ago, was fucking devastated when it closed. Still frequent the one on Gordon St when we're in town. That said, Lebowskis and Strip Joint are a stones throw from the Hydro if you're just needing a drink out there.

Ayatollah Hermione 12767 Posted November 18, 2023 Share Posted November 18, 2023 Aye, we ended up getting some food in the Strip Joint and stayed for the duration. Good tunes, good food and early 90s wrestling on the telly. QOTSA were something else, mind. Their last two albums may have been middling but as a live band, they’re at their peak of their powers 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their "record store" is diminutive but always throws in the odd must have. If you want a good record store up this way get out of Glasgow and head to Europa in Stirling. Scotland's largest independent record shop. Ewan's been running the place for longer than I've been alive. It's a serious Aladdin's. den. 20 minute drive, half hour on the train. Don't settle for the front shop, check out the back room and be sure to ask what he's got showed away upstairs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex 30414 Posted November 19, 2023 Share Posted November 19, 2023 I used to love The Broons and Oor Wullie. My granny used to get the Sunday Post (which was quite common for that generation round here). Also used to get the annuals for Xmas. Iirc they alternated so it was Oor Wullie one year then The Broons the next. Same lot that did The Dandy / Beano etc iirc. D C Thomson, also of Thomson House fame, The Journal etc. laters, lol 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember the Viz doing a skit of the Broons where the whole family was shitting it cos the kids reckoned the Granddad had said he was gonna have a fight. They gradually gathered everyone and hightailed it to his house, only to find he was having a shite. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For some reason it sticks in my mind that one of the “wee’ans” had heard Dapne’s new boyfriend (I think) was of Polish and French descent. Leading to much consternation as to what they should serve him when he came round for his dinner. Only for him to turn out to be a French Polisher 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hen, Joe, Daphne, Maggie, Horace, twins, bairn, Ma and Da. Ten of the sweaty buggers living in a 2 bed tenement. Could still afford a But and Ben holiday ho,e though even if it was a bothy. Does anybody remember the Jocks and the Geordies? Vague recollections as to these 2 groups braying each other, can't remember the context of how this came about, or which comic it was in. Viz spoofed it as well iirc with the Bacons fighting their scottish counterparts. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
