QB-B-B-B-B-BERT

Well I should really start from the beginning. Haddo House is a few miles out of Aberdeen and apart from hosting yesterday's Sport Relief Mile, set with crazed eager parents pounding round a forest trail with Hummer-sized buggies full of sprogs, there was the strange sight (you can just make them out) of a full 100yd tree-line of pet cemmetary action. At first the engraved 'proper' names of Charlotte and Stephen had us worried of who/what actually was buried beneath the mossy headstones but thankfully when we spotted Lassie's demise all was well.



Young Knives... lovely chaps, gave a spanking Snafu Magazine interview - which you'll be able to read in the upcoming issue - and played a vibrant set (with quality crowd baiting in-between tracks) that got the Moshulu crowd jumping once the relatively unknown new album stuff had made way for the hits. Unfortunately, despite great access, my band photos were abstract to say the least.





Good crowd of 'Kefugees' in for QBERT in Snafu later on. The boy Bert is quite amazing to watch. I guess that's what makes the whole thing a bit weird, not quite stale.. but atmosphere and dance-floor jossle makes way for a sea of digital cameras and phones recording the experience rather than living in the moment, man. Still, with a God like that in the flesh it's hard not to just be mesmerised.

TERJE TIMES

Todd did not disappoint. A quality disco infused set on Saturday that kept the floor brimming all night, especially wih the new lasers doing the trick. Oh, and nice to see Al finding someone of his own beauty and interest to keep him occuppied in the warm -up wanderings.

MIXTAPE APRIL

Don't want to get too far ahead ourselves since Cagedbaby live, Giles Walker, Vitalic and Radioskool are on this month but there's some juicy April Mixtapians. We've got copies of Let's Go Outside's new album 'A Picnic With The Hunters' up for grabs in the latest Snafu Mag so be sure to have a looksie.

ATTENBOROUGH IN THE HOUSE

So the iconic living legend Sir David Attenborough is getting himself an honorary degree from Aberdeen Uni in June. I'm presumming from the Zoology fraternity but he's also doubling up with the film folk to be part of the Director's Cut Series, that recently featured Snafu Magazine interviewé Raul Ruiz. I'm going to keep tight lipped on how to get hold of tickets for the eagerly anticipated seminar (cos i want a ticket too!!) but expect Snafu Mag to give it's sciencetastic views in the upcoming issues.

"Sir David Attenborough's distinguished career in broadcasting spans more than 50 years. As the innovative former Controller of BBC2 and the BBC's Director of Programmes, he pioneered a new era of high quality broadcasting. An estimated 500 million people worldwide watched his 13-part series Life on Earth (1979). Presenter of popular series such as Life in the Freezer (1993), The Life of Birds (1998), and Life in the Undergrowth (2005), Attenborough has also written 17 books. In this Director's Cut, Sir David will be discussing key aspects of his career, including his latest series and book just out, Life in Cold Blood."

For anyone wishing to hear Dave DJ down at Snafu, I'm afraid we won't be selling tickets due to his guestlist featuring 2 of every animal.
