   About The MANDRAKES
The manDRAKES- Bask with us on the crunchy, summer rooftop shell; bask with us; all the while drip..drip..dripping down below us, under us, within us.. A ruffled melancholic sanctuary of love, loss and focused 'bewilderment'. In a pale marble movie, slowly syphoned from the Glasgow City streets (love them, they may cradle you some day...). And then somehow the partyline. And so it goes... "If you haven't been to see this band yet then I suggest you do so ASAP. Keep your ears to the ground".

Group Hug Glasgow

Hi There,

Just a reminder that the group hug will take place at 12.30pm on Saturday the 28th at George Square.

It should be a laugh, hope you can make it!

I found out about you guys by accident but I'm really glad that I did. You know how you listen to certain songs and just feel something you can't describe? I feel that way with many of your songs, especially Skeleton Mask. I don't know to put it eloquently, but they just evoke something inside. I hope you guys get all of the recognition and accolades you deserve!

Much love,

Sara

Hey guys thanks for the comment!

Still bored but I guess it's better than being at work :)

Thankfully they don't have patient line or whatever on this ward and there are no plans for it anytime soon so I can watch my tv free of charge just on a really small tv!

Hope you guys are well and I'll fill you in on any charity nights we have in Glasgow to raise funds for new tv's on the CF wards and I hope that you will all come along!!!

So the subterfuge regarding ID kerds begins. I will be fighting this, for sure. Next step biometrics.

It will then obviously be piss-easy for anyone to be excluded from society if they do not 'toe the line.' Any dissenting souls will no longer be able to travel, obtain money, earn a living, etc (i.e. survive).

NO TO ID!!!

Cheerz.

Thanks for the request and for supporting Ms. Roy!

"The only dream worth having is to dream that you will live while you are alive, and die only when you are dead. To love, to be loved. To never forget your own insignificance. To never get used to the unspeakable violence and vulgar disparity of the life around you. To seek joy in the saddest places. To pursue beauty to its lair. To never simplify what is complicated or complicate what is simple. To respect strength, never power. Above all to watch. To try and understand. To never look away. And never, never to forget." - Arundhati Roy (weroy.org)
