i forgot to post up the Wikipedia page i recently wrote for gay against you here. During the writing for this, after i lamented that i regretted not seeing them live, Joe reminded me that not only had i driven them to two separate shows, in York and Cardiff, i also played drums for them at the Cardiff show. i have no earthly idea how i could have forgotten this, but i was very pleased to be reminded of it.

Reblogged from Joe . So, despite that clumsy business with the music blogs the other week, Google have struck a somewhat more positive blow in ending censorship in China : The Chinese government has threatened sanctions against Google Google has stopped censoring its search results in China, ignoring warnings by the country's authorities.

Gay Against You- Cruisin' These Glasgow guys are getting ridiculously decadent on this new LP, feeling massively lost inside a broke Spectrum but not overly worried about it, just searching through those grey plastic tunnels and designing gawky and elaborate trimmings to go in there, squawking with pre-Christmas ridiculousness, but wait, are they playing in 2D? Sounds like "electric cereal" and obviously like a very manic childhood yeah really loving how they pull this all off without sounding totally annoying, real squiggly and overloaded with KFC and an urge to overdub grainy [...]
Pictureplane has been surfing the waves of the tie-dyed pop nouveau atoll for a while, a bit like Patrick Swayze in Point Break, but wearing x-ray specs and heavy liquid tattoos. Telepathic dolphins, megalodon sharks and surreal all-encompassing consciousness coralline configurations stare in his wake as he lands careless from ...

Glasgow's Gay Against You is (I hope) the best and most important of the Hardcore/Happy Hardcore bands from the UK. The duo certainly stands for the most in terms of developing scenes on the other side of the pond, and -- in my humble opinion -- has the most artistic and creative potential behind their work. That's to say, I guess, that they don't ever end up bugging me as so many energetic/hyper hardcore groups do. Just the way in which they responded to all of my questions in this interview reflects their style and sound ... read [...]
Here's the moment everyone was waiting for, right, 20jazzfunkgreats bunch of 2006 lists and stuff, records we dug, things we have felt, reminiscences, cries, silly dances and the like.

There may be a slight lack of posts over the coming weeks as I'm moving house next week - so to tide things over a quick post about a band that aren't from the late 80's. Now that the word "gay" seems to have taken on a third meaning for a third generation (has a word ever changed meaning so often?? I can't keep up..I'm still in my 19th century dandy costume here..) the main problem a band called Gay Against You face is the fear they may turn out to be as utterly terrible [...]
