When modern civilisation has ceased to be, anthropologists will discover Glasvegas and be none the wiser as to how we communicated.

[Tcoldsteel]

I'm pleased that he actually sings in his own accent and not put on some phoney american accent.

I only discovered these on Jools holland a couple of weeks ago and will definitely get their CD.

Alan McGee's on the money (as usual).

JAMC+Proclaimers/Velvet underground=

[IndieEcosse]

[katepop]

[zarella]

haha mon the glasvegas

[skacrazy76]

What are you fannyheads whining about? I undrstood him perfectly, people who dont understand different accents are just too lazy to actually LISTEN!

[Duffster91]

i thought glasvegas was what they were gonna call a casino they were building in glasgow?

[WeeEddie79]

Why would anybody get so upset about an accent? Can't see what's offensive or vulgar about someone rejecting afectation and speaking in their own voice. Bunch of fannies!

[firemansamstakeaway]

fuck i actually cannot stand these losers

[KENKENNIFF]

I didn't understand a bloody word of that. What was he saying ?

[bazbalboa]

[kempkempo]

aaaah the sweet tones of the weegie

[stuk5101]

fucking amazing yas!!!

MON THE VEGAS

[Muscle61]

What did he say?

[GrantIsWright]

God, I'm Scottish and his voice really does grid my gears. We don't all talk through our noses honest!

[peetrea]

shut up idiot!

[GrantIsWright]

Hey, don't get me wrong, they're a great band, but it seems to be only Scots themselves who refuse to believe this nasal accent sounds pretty vulgar and boring to listen to.

[peetrea]

"vulgar, bornin" na mate, our accent is just a bit flat toned, what should we do, try to be english, add a we bit of twang and pronounce our words ever so correctly, we are who we are mate and he sounds ok to me, nasal talk is lazyness and pretty common in junkies but not present in his voice! exaggerated lots in tv tho, shell suit boab, and it is vulgar to listen to as dialogue is shit! but he doesnt sound vulgar, no way!!

[scottmmmm]

You might be right, but I'm so fucking proud of bands like Glasvegas and The Twilight Sad who are going out and writing this absolutely brilliant rock music and delivering it in the accent of our city without pretending to be something they aren't.

I don't like your definition of vulgar and boring at all....

[Bucksryanfuss]

This is cool, i love these videos, the festival was brilliant just got back this afternoon. I was interviwed outside the barfly on the final night when people weren't getting into crystal castles. If you've got the footage NME, please put it up. Me and my friends did a great crystal castles impression, and talked about fan hooliganism!

cheers!
