I'm all out chronologically here, but…

Is Sam's family up there too? That does seem strange. Though I presume the reason he himself is there is he's working with a Glasgow based producer.

That's such a shame, and I know how you feel too. We're just crap really, aren't we?!

That cupboard's looking mighty tempting again...

Oh, for heaven's sake.

Right, done. Apart from the OMGILYSMLUKE because I do still have a few tattered shreds of self-respect left.

Sorted. I think that may have been a case of selective vision

Sycamore, I may have just followed you. I always get my way in the end

Oh is this about Sam C? I read something recently on the daily record site that he's been based in Glasgow for a while, I think because of his producer or something similar, I thought it was sam B yous were all talking about.

All these bloody Sams! Maybe we need a way to differentiate between the two...

Also - STEPHEN FRY?!?

Lol. I'm clearly not nearly so cunning as I'd thought

Nope

I was going to say if you ever run into Nicholas in Glasgow to force him to on the spot, but given your shyness I perhaps not! BTW I can be prone to crippling shyness at times too, it can be a right pain.

I think 'omgilysm' is my new favourite word. I might tweet that tomorrow in a carefully paced attempt to appear witty and erudite.

Heh, I've actually been keeping an eye out just in case whenever I'm out with someone with a phone so they can take pictures of him for you I'll do my best, that's all I can promise

And yes, it sucks.

I shall look forward to it. It is a magnificent and glorious word.

For that to happen I would have to continually and perpetually throw dignity to the wind. I don't think I have it in me. I fear the silent judgement of others far too much. It would be easier to revise my career, become a much much better songwriter/producer, get employed by RCA to, as luck would have it, work on Nicky's second album. *Then* I can force him to follow me/validate my existence.

It's much less exciting than it could have been Just both being really early adopters, when there were about five people on twitter and we all followed each other because there was no one else to talk to. I still like it though, sad as it may be

Well... it's a plan, of sorts *adopts positive demeanour*

Aww, that's so sweet, I really hope he does follow you soon!

Your existence is already valid, my dear. You don't need a wee boy from Scotland to follow you back in order to achieve this. Even if he is lovely

And actually, most of that entire post!

I'm not denying I would have a little moment of giddiness, the latent fangirl will make sure of that, but I'm not *that* sad!

D'oh. See, this is the problem with posting late at night/early AM - I'm much more inclined to ham up my latent fangirl tendencies at that time. Then I'll read what I've written in the cold light of morning and suddenly get the fear that I've come across completely hatstand.

Do you really think I don't know how you feel? My posting history in these appreciation threads is completely shameful

Don't worry, we know it's all just fun

Reserving judgement on 'completely hatstand' though

Well I'm glad that's all cleared up!

There's a good video interview with Nicky here from last night. There's some positive stuff in there (and also some slightly worrying stuff)

http://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/enterta...donald-3026692

Worrying stuff: His mum's still his manager (surely not a good idea - does she have any real experience at all?). Recording the album has been completed (at least his vocals have) in less than a week, though I guess production and arrangements can be worked on up until release. Oh, and it's coming out on Mother's Day (apparently Nicky's choice)

Good stuff: There's definitely original stuff on there too, so not all covers. He comes across very, very well. There are several (decent sounding) producers working on it.

Interesting stuff: He's a bit more candid than previously about how the show tried to push him down a certain route with the song choices etc. [insert imaginary ponder-smiley]
