Metal certainly used to resonate with me more. I hardly dislike the genre, some of my favourite bands remain metal ones. I suppose other genres just mean more to me now, as silly as that sounds.

 

[Necromunchkin]

Not really. There are a number of albums and artists that have become entirely necessary to me as a lover of music. Such that were I forced to choose between them and my most beloved metal, these others would still take precedent.

 

[derek]

I can associate with that. My most cherished records are all from non-metal genres. Zevon, Curtis, Morrissey and others speak more to me and my desperate understanding of the human condition than Cannibal Corpse ever have.

 

[Necromunchkin]

That might be it. Even the most impressive range of certain metal albums haven't quite hit me with the same dimensions of The Cranes "Loved," Coltrane's "Love Supreme," or pretty much anything ever by Leonard Cohen.

I say while listening to Negura Bunget. Who rule.

 

[derek]

They are quite awesome, for sure. I'm with you on Cohen.

To quote Neil from 'The Young Ones': "*sigh* I'm not going to say anything because no one ever listens to me anyway. I might as well be a Leonard Cohen record."
I kid, though. 'Songs From A Room' is a personal favourite.

Would you happen to know of any cheap hostels I could book in Edinburgh? My friend is being buried there on Saturday, , so it's pretty short notice. Any reccommendations would be heartily appreciated.

Sorry, I've not yet heard about the relocation of our Edinburgh gig. Won't be long, I'm sure.

Wow.. that sucks dude. Hopefully these links will help you.

Thanks for that. It was specific, first-hand reccommendations I was after, but cheers nonetheless.

 

[Will Bozarth]

ahh, no problem, regardless

 

[derek]

I really don't have a clue, I'm afraid. The bottom link that Will gave seems quite reasonable, mainly because I recognise the buildings. I've never stayed in any of them though, so I couldn't say. I'd offer you some floor space, but I'm a bit short, given three flatmates, one of their brothers and my current squeeze.

 

[lad]

Heh, not at all, mate. The name's Sanders, by the way. I might just stay at a friend's in Perth or Glasgow, and get an early bus to and from.

 

[derek]

If you book megabus now it'll be quite cheap. Loads cheaper than a hostel.

 

[lad]

Aye, I am aware. Booking last minute is one of the silliest mistakes I and many others have made.
