Ahoy there, Mog Mates!
I'm just back from New York City, where I had the vacation of a lifetime ... save for one regrettable incident: I got married to The Girlfriend.
But enough sentiment. Time to get back to business. In the video below, Mrs S and I discuss the self-titled debut album from Scottish surf-poppers Glasvegas.
Luckily for some, the vid doesn't show up in certain browsers. To witness our unprofessional bungling, you can follow this link. Or you can read the transcript provided below. Or, like, not.
Yours sincerely AND faithfully,
Flux

Many many congratulations! You married a pirate, you lucky bastard!
Love the album, loved them live, and I LOVE the video addition!!! Please keep it that way.
I've never heard Legs N Show before.......sounds good......
Oh, and he looked pretty handsome on stage...although {or "because"?} he was wearing wayfarers haha!
Cheers, you two lovlings :*
PS when I was in Dublin, I couldn't understand most of the people...but I could understand you two perfectly....odd!
PS2 Scottish accents are the hottest accents after the Sheffield ones ;)
Hey, Anna, many thanks. Glad you could understand our ramblings. Btw, I've just read your live review - fantastic. They're one band I'd love to see live. I take it you've now made the move to live among the godless English heathens. Good for you. Although I will say a prayer for you (and them.) See you out in the ballpark.
I enjoyed your imaginative post here. As for Geraldine, I hear echoes of Big Country with a dash of The Cure, and that can't be bad. Your video was entertaing, witty and enthusiastic, infectious.
DMDM, thanks very much for the feedback on the vid. much appreciated. Interesting that you hear Big Country in there, being fellow Scots. Makes me want to go back and listen to them again.
Congrats to you and the Mrs. Girlfriend!
Love the new format! I think you guys just set the bar higher for Mog posts.
Hey Tyler (is this correct?!) - What can I say, we like bars... Thanks for taking the time to look at the vid, MOG is certainly a busier place these days.
Yep, it's Tyler. Has anyone ever told you that CJ Scuffins sounds like a US theme restaurant. God only knows what that theme would be!
Funny you say that, because the top result for my surname in Google is a type of scone-cum-muffin, "a scuffins." If I had any dignity, it would be gravely affronted.
Wow, your already a market ready brand name. "It's like a muffin - but dryer!" "It's like a scone, but more moist!". Best to sit on scuffins.com and wait for your daddy warbucks venture capitalist. Though a rowdy drunken theme restaraunt that promotes bickering among couples,might be quite a fun place to dine!
Yes! Motto: "Argue In Peace!"
"Have your meal with a side of asides"
"Why ruin a meal at home with an arguement? Let us ruin it for you!"
"The place to make a scene - and be seen!"
SOLD!
I'll have my secretary draw up the paperwork and my people will call your people.
Congrats on getting married! And this video review is awesome!!
Why, thank you, MG. Nice of you to stop by. ;)
Jeeezzzz, she's FULL ON!
Good luck with that!
LOL!
All the best!
(100% right about Stabbed!)
Congratulations on your nuptials! I didn't know where you were registered, so I picked you both up a little something-something.
No need to thank me.
Thank you for including a transcript, the video doesn’t work here at work so it was great being able to read what I was missing. As with all your posts, this was pure gold.
Congratulations, you two!
What a genius post! I think you should keep getting married to each other and bringing us video reviews from all sorts of honeymoon destinations. Next up: Reviewing from a gondola in Italy? Hope to see more of these in the future. You two are too much and I mean it in the best way. Cheers!
First off, congrats on nuptials, and thanks for coming across the pond for the celebration...Lord knows we can use the cash!!
Holy crap, I feel like you two have been in the living room all night and I need to go to the store and get a couple more litres of wine. The eyepatch was outstanding, but totally distracting. I predict "slityourwristy" will make the next edition of Webster's.
great post
@ Neill: Blimey, you're a bit full on yourself there. Your missus got any survival tips for me? ;)
@ DC - That's a beautiful something-something, thank you. Reminds me of the mother-in-law!
@ Brittany - Jill's got relations from Italy, and Ireland are playing soccer there next April, so you never know, we could be beaming live from a gondala soon. Oh, and thanks for training your cat to do a hooray for us!
@ Scott - Glad to help the economy (and boy did we help it!) but the pleasure was all ours. We absolutely adored NYC. In fact we're already planning a trip back (perhaps a permanent one! You have been warned, America!) I don't know where the eyepatch came from, I'd certainly never seen it before - she's full of surprises, that girl.
@ David - You're welcome, mogfather. ;)
Much amusement around the office as I collapse in giggles throughout your review. Brilliant!
I notice you haven't tied up the marketing or franchise rights yet. Can my people call your people on that?
Sure. Our people are our social workers. Cheers, Jonh!
Aw...Congrats, congrats to you! I'm thrilled for you!! You two make such an adorable couple. (we already knew that but...)
What fun to see a video taping! It was thoroughly entertaining...the whole bit! ...mostly thanks to the Mrs tho.
If you ever make to the southern US (for even more heat and humidity), please inform, the first round of gin and tonics is on us!
Thanks for the laughs Scuffins'!
Mucho thanks, Sunny. You'll regret making that offer, tho. You just know we're going to visit Disneyworld some day and pop into your place on the way back....and not leave for a year. We'll drink you out of house and home!
"We'll drink you out of house and home!"
Not unless we do it first! Oh the party we'd throw!
The crockery we'd throw!
I'll have to get some crockery then!
Do. I love a sophisticated dinner party.
Congratulations....on the post. Good luck in your marriage. You look great together. This could easily be the music show of the future.
Hey Cody, thanks v much ... perhaps it could be the show of the future, but for the moment we're just making a show of ourselves. ;)
gonna chime in late on this one but congratulations Fluxy :)
RCRD LBL just featured a free download of Glasvegas's Geraldine if you don't have it already: www.rcrdlbl.com.....
I've been a massive fan of theirs for a while, saw em right by the ocean in Barcelona....was unforgettable :)

Frist things first. Congrats to you two.
This is awesome you two. You two arrrrr a hilarious bunch of scallywags for sure. Feckin brilliant! :P
Colin your delivery kills me. Jill, you have a great voice. Whith Colin on the back up vocals, you could start a band. You could call it "Jill and the Colinics". ..just a thought.
Keep these up!
@ IP - Thanx for the good wishes, link, and photo (I'm sure it was lovely!)
@ Mike - With prescient comic timing of your own, you've hit on one of the major topics of our household in 2008... "colonics". Jill swears by 'em, while the very idea brings me out in a cold sweat. Hope to get another done this week (vid, not colonic!)
Really? Leave it to me to take the conversation to the ass. ;)
Looking forward to your next gin and tonic induced music therapy session.
COLIN!!!!!! i feel so, so bad that Jill wedded you - and i'm only finding out now, that is. had i known earlier, i would have, er, congratulated you two sooner. all my friends will have you know, i'm really a good friend, it's just not very obvious.
now enough seriousness, i wanted to say i am too thrilled to watch you review-mongering couple in action. fun, fun, fun! and i understood it, too...
but enough seriousness, i came for the laughs!
C: Well, he’s a bit of a miserable fuck, you know—
J: That’s because he’s not very good-looking.
C: . . . Oh, Jesus Christ. You’ve just insulted everybody in MOG.
J: One point is dropped. Half a point is dropped for, on some of the songs, I can’t understand what they’re saying.
C: I’ve never seen you drop a pint in your life.
ahahahahah.
Fluxy, congratulations - you have entertained me once again. ;p
Ilay, thanks for commenting after me. It got me back here to relive Colin's mad ravings.
MAD, i tell you! forget my sucky week, i laughed my ass off reading this post and the other one! [waves hi to Mike]
@ Mike - Forgive my ravings...
"When you say that I'm no good, and you feel like walking,
I need to make sure that you know, it's just the prescription talking."
(Geraldine by Glasvegas)
@ Ilay - You're a good friend of this page, that's all I know and care about! "i understood it, too..." - thank you! We're not incomprehensible to everybody then. And I'm genuinely happy that we made you forget your sucky week because, you know what...
Married! I would rate this news at fifteen Gin & Tonics if I hadn't just had fourteen of them! Many congrats, Colin ... given the criminal nature of your posts it's nice to see she's making an honest man out of you at last. :) Wishing you much happiness.
Love the tunes and comical post. And apologies in advance for the untimely barrage of comments you are about to endure while I backtrack on your pages. Good to see you again!
Thanks v much, Erin. Your typing is very good for 14 g&t's - you must be well practiced! Thanks for taking the time to backtrack!
