Play with the city - glasgow

Modeselektor are a hard core, nose bleeding, ears ringing Berlin techno duo with a bouncy ragga edge to their tunes. They are playing at the Arches in Glasgow on the 20th of February at 11pm… ohh it’s going to be a late one mum.  Club visuals are also there from VJs Pfadfinderei. The night is part of the Glasgow Music & Film Festival. Now where is my glow sticks?

There is nothing wrong with a mooshy mooshy love story, and when your feeling fat and sorry for yourself (I have a cold so have been gorging on chocolate the past four days) there is nothing like a good sob story of someones else’s heartache and  life tragedy to make you feel better!

So, I’m treating my best girl friend to go see Romeo and Juliet at the Citizens Theater in Glasgow on the 28th of February.  Tickets are £8 so plenty of pocket money left over to buy my weight in Galaxy!

mmm now my brain is on the sweet sugary stuff- here is a run down of my fav’s.

1. Aero. (mint or plaie, I cant decide)
2. Kinder Bueno.
3. Terrys chocolate orange.
4. Dairy Milk Bubbly.
5. Wispa. (thank god they are back!)

The man of the moment is not, as you might mistakenly be thinking, Barack Obama (we are sooo over that shizzle), but a 250 year old womanising ploughman from Ayrshire… This Year marks the 250th anniversary of Robert Burns’ birth.

Oran Mor is holding a mixed night of music from Moira Kerr, Jimmy McGregor and the Sirens of Titan Choir, comedy from Karen Dunbar and actor David Hayman performing ‘The Immortal Memory’ to celebrate the 250th anniversary of Burns’ birth, complete with a traditional Burns supper… AKA Haggis, neeps and tatties!

The Burns’ celebration night is on Saturday 24th of January at 7pm, the event will will also be previewing 10 unique and witty paintings illustrating Burns’s epic poem, Tam ‘O’ Shanter, by artist and author Charles Nasmyth.

Oran Mor, meaning the ‘great melody of life’ or ‘big song’, is a cultural centre and meeting place in the heart of Glasgow’s West End. Inside are two bars, two restaurants, a nightclub and stunning private event space available for hire in a fab looking converted church, formerly Kelvinside Parish Church.

The Place is going to be in full swing by 12 dark with a Ceilidh bringing us into early Sunday morning! Im thinking, tartan skirts… men in kilts… and plenty of drams-a-drinking.

Anyone joining me?

We all love bloggers.. don’t lie.

One Ive found that’s sooo fab its worth a gander is - Abouttime.

It is a “Visual Communication Blog” by the Glasgow School of Art which is a place for staff and students to share resources, ideas, seek feedback and advice, and generally comment on and discuss visual culture.

Well, these cleaver clogs of scummies are holding an art event by up and coming international and Scottish ‘wanna-be’s’ in a derelict pharmacy on Maryhill Road in Glasgow…. yes you read right… in a derelict pharmacy.

The event is so Hush Hush that you cant say I told you so ssssshhhhh, keep it secret.

Viewings are by appointment only!

woof

Ok… So I am fluttering my long luscious eye lashes to all you out there with Alkaline Trio tickets… as I cant go.

The gig was so in demand, tickets sold out on day one (hang on till I get a handkerchief to dry my tears) I can only guess how amazing the night is going to be, the atmosphere buzzing with the crowed and the band playing their wee hearts out to a packet out gig as the Green Day-approved morbid punk trio return for their first Glasgow date in years!

So here I am; crossing my wee fingers and praying to the big man up stairs that someone takes pity on me and decides to ditch their best mate and invite me instead to go see Alkaline Trio with them on the 10th of February at the ABC in Glasgow.

You Know I love you, don’t you!

What’s to do a Monday night instead of picking that fluffy stuff from between your toes? How about going to the 02 Academy in Glasgow to see Bloc Party and Wet Paint putting on a ‘must not miss’ night!

Wet paint are heading Bloc Party on Monday the 26th of January at the 02 Academy, if you haven’t been there- think of a living room with a bar in the middle, a bit of a dance floor and plenty of mates and cheap beer singing together the words of songs we don’t even know!

Looking forward to it… The Cat in the Hat says I am!

I can’t count how many bands have been chewed up and spat out into something beautiful by King Tuts Wah Wah Hut, but hopefully I am going to witness the birth of one of them!

Chiodos, are playing Monday 2nd February. Are they any good? I’ve no idea- watch this space. Do they look a bit fruity? Hell Yeah!

The ever most trendy ‘The Loft’ is holding a girly girls night out the 29th of January 2009.

I will be there with a few of my frilly mates enjoying a complementary glass of fizz, relaxing with all sorts of therapeutic treatments and accessories. Later that night we catch the Fashion Show featuring all the trends from all the hippest shops.   The film ‘Sex In the City’ will also be showing, just next door in the Grosvenor Cinema at 11pm.

Why do I have that song ‘it’s raining men’ in my head?

This Glasgow restaurant occupies the roof space of the Grosvenor Cinema so you can eat, drink and socialise like a movie star before visiting the cinema just next door.

Coming soon!
