amusedActually, I don't think his beard is a visual symbol of any kind of madness. This is just the first time in 18 years he has taken a break from work and is enjoying doing things he was never before allowed to do, which includes having a beard.
"Pop stars aren't allowed to have beards," he says. "Name me a pop star with a beard."
"Biffy Clyro," I say.
"I'm talking about pop stars," Robbie says.

ah-choo!Full of cold virus for the last two days. Scampering through the east end of Glesgae soaked in sweat probably didn't help with that. Doesn't help with the post-gig hearing loss, either: was way too close to the stage-left/house-right main speakers on Tuesday. (On Monday, I swear the crowd seemed louder than the band where I was, about halfway back and in the centre.) Still, all very much worth it. Lots of fun meeting up with Bifffans in the 13th Note beforehand: only realized after the fact that BC had actually played the 13th Note several times, around ten years ago, before their first album.
In other news, why is Countryfile (of all things) more adventurous in its musical selection (Bat for Lashes; Foals) than so-called music radio? (RTE Radio 2, please stand up -- and hang your head in shame.)

Biffier than Thou"Bodies in Flight" played! Also "Liberate the Illiterate". James speaks! More than once! Could he be easing his way into something of a spokesbassist role?
alaimacerc BiffiestI can has heard "Jaggy Snake" played live.
alaimacerc even more biffyishalaimacerc Biffyishsammywol et mylescorcoran , for some very nice chili wraps and some especially degenerate-case attempts at roleplaying, that rapidly ended up just being a very enjoyable chit-chat). Rather more excited by the arrival yesterday of a ticket for Ra Biff, next month in Glasgow, which further motivated me to pop into "Plugd" today to buy one for Gary Numan (also at the Pavillion, and also next month). It turns out that they also sell Cyprus Avenue tickets, so I bought a pair for Frightened Rabbit, in early Dec. (I have some social cover for that one -- hi, DGB!) That saved me trundling along to the Old Oak: welcome, given that Cork didn't so much seem to be being rained on, as actually in the middle of a rain cloud.alaimacerc
