Thanks! I honestly couldn't tell you, I'm ashamed to say I didn't take the full applying process very seriously at all. Went to one open day and spent most of the day in the union. It's got a decent enough reputation and stuff though I guess. Yeah definitely check them out, so great! Did you see Frank's finished recording his album, sooo excited to hear!

Got an unconditional for Dundee not long after I sent that message so the wait isn't too bad anymore! Just had a listen, not bad at all! Was expecting a typical Mumford & Son's-ish folk band but they have something really unusual about them. Yeah I've heard of Nambucca, that was the one that went on fire a couple of years ago wasn't it? I'd love to see it, purely because it's mentioned in a Frank song. Have you heard of a band called Chapel Club? Their debut's out on Monday and it's one of the best albums I've heard in a while!

ah sorry for the week long delay! I applied at the end of December, still haven't heard anything which is reaaaallly annoying. Haha that's the perfect description of titp just now. Hopefully they add a couple of decent bands though, their's usually a few at least! Has the gig already passed, how was it? I've never heard of the band, have to give them a listen at some point.

Ah yeah I know who you mean, he was fairly decent on buzzcocks, shame everyone was overshadowed by Frankie that episode though! Super hard one go alright? I have several essays to write tonight so procrastination, procrastination, procrastination. Checking UCAS track every half hour or so out of complete nervous habit. How long did it take for unis to reply to you last year? Little stages can sometimes be the best. Better than t in the park anyway which currently boasts foo fighters, blink 182 and you me at six as its only lineup announcements.

I'm thinking the album could turn out to be even better, have you heard any of the live performances of Peggy? so great. That's awesome you're enjoying it, how'd the exam go today? I've applied for English and History at Glasgow, Edinburgh, Dundee, St Andrews and Aberdeen. I have mock exams starting in a couple of weeks but I have no motivation to revise at all so I doubt they'll go very well! Aha yeah I'm guessing Wales isn't exactly a hot spot for touring bands. Has there been any lineup announcements for Redfest yet?

Even with all this studying I'll still definitely not get anything higher than a C. Is that all you need for uni, yeah? I've done a couple of hours, nowhere near enough but I'm terrible at revising so it's a lot for me! I don't even need Physics for anything I'd ever want to do in the future, I just hate the thought of completely failing a subject!

It was quite amusing the first time because it had never happened before but 5 times was just too far, fault in the system apparantly which is why each time they couldn't turn it off for about 15 minutes. There's two and a half thousand at our school so we got slightly distracted! I have a terrible memory and I'm terrible and Physics so revising is a must tonight for the exam tomorrow. Definitely taking some time off tomorrow for Mock The Week though!

The little boy's just so cute! I haven't been able to watch tv, too busy attempting to study. I had my English exam today and the fire alarm went off 5 times, lasting about 50 minutes, they made us write through it. Apparantly in the next hall they ended up being streaked by like twenty 13 year old boys that were getting changed for swimming when it went off...so I guess I'm fortunate I didn't have to witness that. Exams have pretty much ruined my TV/Social life :(

Oh god, Twin Atlantic have a good few of those fanboys sadly. I can think of something worse though, me and my friends have been going to see this local band for a couple of years now and became reaaally good friends with them and they've suddenly became pretty big, seeing people fangirl/boy over your friends is the worse thing ever :| Haha, I'm not a Paolo fan but Jason Mraz has a few catchy tunes, that video you posted on twitter earlier is actually the most adorable thing I've ever seen!

You do indeed win. At first, when you were talking about diseased dogs etc, I thought you were talking about The Who and I was like whaaaat? but then I realised :) The only thing worse than YMA6 is the majority of their fans :| Some of them are nomal but then you get the thousands of little screaming scene kid fangirls. Ahh right, well good luck with that then :) I have my exams next week & I've not even started studying yet, procrastinating seems to be all I'm good at.

Sadly YMA6 were the first "proper" band I ever seen live, supporting an equally terrible Scottish band two and a bit years ago. My friend used to really like them & she got bailed on last minute so I agreed to go. Haha, I'm sure everything you said was completely true, they really have nothing going for them at all! Wow, well done, that's amazing. What does a Scolarship exam involve?

I hate You Me At Six way too much but I do have a bit of a soft spot for Lostprohets I must admit. Yeah most of them (Biffy, Twin etc) just sing the way they speak. Unfortunately that's brought about a horrible trend of bands from here that put on a heavy accent and sound like Biffy Clyro clones, only without any talent. I don't know if I ever asked, I meant to at least, did you get that uni offer you were waiting on :)?

Haha, I've met them a few times since, they're good guys really. I was gonna ask what album you got but I can see it's Only Revolutions, a few of the earlier ones are worth a listen and Puzzle has a few standouts; "Machines" and "Folding Stars" especially . Also, since you seem to be getting into the full Scottish rock thing, I think you should try Idlewild and Frightened Rabbit :D

That's very true actually didn't think of it that way. I felt, at times, Milton was trying a little bit too hard to be weird, mostly he was hilarious though to be fair. Oh dear, Biffy :| Haha, nah I have nothing against them, just a bad experience involving them! A couple of years ago they were doing a signing at hmv and a few of my friends are MASSIVE fans so we went but were too late to get wristbands so we waited 4 fucking hours, freezing cold, down a lane just so they could meet them for 5 seconds. The next night we went to a gig in the most intimate venue in Glasgow, like 50 or so people there. Just so happens all 3 members of Biffy are great friends with the band playing and were also at that gig. I have never wanted to kill my friends more :) What do you think of them?

That's true, Frank's compleeetely dominating your's. At least he's still active though, it's sad a band that split almost 2 years ago get more plays than anything else on mine! The rest of them were a lot more confident and outspoken, especially Russell, I fall in love with that man more and more everytime I see him on something. I thought Milton was really funny but he didn't seem to fit in with the actual programme, reckon he'd be a good stand-up though.

Me and my friend were looking at that blog yesterday! It's actually hilarious. There's a massive version of that poster round the corner from me and someone's just wrote "wanker" on it. Nice to know even chavs know he's a twat. Milburn vibes are always good, I'm trying to calm it with them for a while though, they're pulling away at the top of my charts now. How did you find MTW tonight? I felt Frankie was missed but Patrick Kielty was surprisingly really good!

I reaaally enjoyed TKB. The Schemers, The Scroungers, and The Rats is especially awesome. Wow, that bad? I've heard the title track and thought that was alright but the other one I heard was pretty terrible. Love, Ire & Song is one of the most perfect albums ever, definitely a good choice to listen to after something not so good!

Have you heard any of the non Vivarium Twin songs? I Cave In and A Guidance From Colour are two of their best I'd say. But yeah I definitely think there will be a proper release nearer the end of the year, Vivarium was just to kinda introduce people to them I think. The Gaslight Anthem played here last year with Frank supporting; I actually hate myself for not going. Might have to check out The King Blues soon then :)

Our ice and snow is just about all gone now :D I'm sure you'll be fine! I think Twin are releasing a proper full length album some time this year so I assume they'll tour then. I loove The Gaslight Anthem! The 59 Sound is such a good album. Never really listened to The King Blues though, other than "I Got Love"

Oh, good luck with your exam tomorrow! No doubt you'll do brilliantly though. I think/hope the snows stopped up here now. It's just super icy but hopefully that'll all melt before the weekend. Twin'll probably tour again before September, they never stop. I actually envy people that get to see them in England. They play tiny venues down South but they've moved on to like 1000+ capacities up here now.

Ahh, probably best not to get a taxi then! It's only like £4 from where I live to town so it's worth it sometimes if the bus is late or whatever. It has been doing well in the charts, it's so strange I remember Mumford & Sons from like 2007 and no one even knew who they were, now everyone loves them! Vivarium is awesome, if you ever get the chance to catch Twin live then do so! Insanely good live band.

We've pretty much given up on buses now, we get taxis everywhere. Which is probably why I'm so skint right now. Your manager must be a pretty cool guy! Sigh No More was number 7 in the album charts yesterday, that's impressive considering it was released a good while ago. What do you think of Vivarium :)?

Haha it's amazing how snow can still fascinate anyone, we were the same the first day it snowed like everyone was crowded round the windows in physics. Another week :(? I have two parties next weekend, looking like i'll be wearing flat shoes to them then! Ahh, that sucks, how did the trek go then?

Haha see, us Scottish know how to handle the snow! Although I almost fell like a million times today so I think I've ran out of luck with the ice, it should go away now! Apparantly it was -22 somewhere up in the Highlands yesterday, I would actually refuse to leave the house :| We are getting warmer though, going to get allllll the way to 0 on Sunday! You know things are bad when 0 is considered high :(

I'm actually so jealus of you getting to stay off. It would take a lottt to shut my school, in fact I don't think our headmaster would ever shut it. We have inspectors next week so all the teachers are super stressed trying to get us into proper uniform etc. I just wish the snow would stop :( I hate it, it's so cold, twas like -10 today :|

I guess we're all like that though, as soon as we're interested in something we think we know it all! I just find it quite funny when people do it with music, a lot of my year are just getting into the kind of stuff I've liked for 3/4 years so it's strange when someone turns round and asks me if i've heard of Kasabian or something. Haha yes, 20, three of my classes have 30 in them and the other two have 20 :) I don't think my Physics teacher has interests that don't involve calling us as many different names as possible! It's snowing pretty bad here too, we still have to go to school though...I think this pretty much sums it up ;) http://www.facebook.com/search/?q=snow+scotland&init=quick#/pages/Unlike-in-England-when-it-snows-life-in-Scotland-carries-on/215173990858?ref=search&sid=556702581.2018813485..1

You should give them a listen! Yeah, The Cave's actually one of my favourites on the album I'd say. Ah, our discussions are never usually that good, it's a class of 18 boys and then just me and my friend...strangely there's never any sports talk though. According to one guy The Cave has good lyrics but "is a poor song overall". Though, he also said if you were to listen to that album alone in a dark room you'd want to kill yourself. He's one of these people that have just started going to gigs and stuff and now thinks he's an expert on good music, we tend to ignore him :)

Haha personally not much of a fan but a massssive improvement on The View! Gotta get some proper quality Scottish bands in there though; Twin Atlantic, Frightened Rabbit, Idlewild, We Were Promised Jetpacks... I could go on ;) Btw, what's your opinion of The Cave by M&S? We had a debate about this in Physics..all the guys reckon it's the weakest on the album but me and my friend really like it.

True, it won't be the same without Frankie Boyle, but it gives him more time to concentrate on his stand up which is always a good thing. And I do love Russell Howard & Hugh Dennis as well Ah right, fair enough. I hate when bands are like that, they should realise they wouldnt be were they are if it wasn't for people buying albums/going to shows.

Russell Brand was awesome, I thought they played on the full Sach thing reallly well. Didn't overuse it but put in in when relevent. It could end up being the best, though we have Doctor Who back in Spring and hopefully Mock The Week or something will be on later in the year too :) What's with all the LC! hate on twitter btw?

I've noticed that they are getting much more well known, even here, where the crappy bands rule =P i'm beggining to see some people listening to it, and i've successfully introduced Enter Shikari to a lot of my friends. if they keep this growth rate going they'll hit global very quickly. But as long as they come to Portugal again, i'm cool. I just think it's fair to she this amazing band have their qualities recognized throughout the globe. I'd love to see them live again, and again =P Well, but if we think about it, the best bands aren't those that are considered the best ones, they are those really unknown underground bands, at least most of my favorite bands are pretty unknowned, at least here, in my country.
