Yes! They fixed my deck about a year ago. Got a copy of Roots Manuva 'Run Come Save Me'. Not a huge selection but soem good stuff.

Goodbye Wilfrid. You inherited a shituation. Didn’t make it better. Adieu.

“Extraordinary turnaround on derby day…”

Not that extraordinary sadly

Entered a parallel universe where agree with Kris Boyd. “Imagine what the score would be if Celtic had a striker.”

Wife classic:
“When I was 14 I heard ‘Meat Is Murder’ by The Smiths and became a vegetarian. Still am. How many converts do you think Gary Clail racked up with ‘Beef’?”

‘I never wanted to sing into a vacuum’: Scottish folk pioneer Dick Gaughan’s fight for his lost music A skilled interpreter and social justice champion, Gaughan is a hero to the likes of Richard Hawley and Billy Bragg.

“Does the scarf really still smell, Taylor? Does it? Really?”

Big week for merch.

Went to Brighton last night. You’re in for a treat!

Same!

Never understood parents who think their kids will or should follow their taste in music. Its weird, like kids dont exist in a bubble: school, mates, tik tok. Guaranteed 2+yrs this kid will not:

I’ve really enjoyed all of these podcasts from Miranda Sawyer, recommended. This one will be good. Ted’s funny and insightful. Also plug that a subscription to The New Cue is recommended, a shortcut for old people like me and possibly you to keep across new releases.

This is really good:

Haha. Only the three times asked that so progress. Was genuinely joyful night. Really enjoyed it.

Back to McDs - was originally just him and then he asked me to come up. Mostly on Facebook I think, am not on there. Sold out quite quickly I think.

Mate and I used to do club in Greenock early 90s. Did it again last night, in Town Hall as one of his former students does ents bookings there. Was a lot of fun.

The Smiths is a band.

It really is. "On some level, we’re nostalgic not only for ‘Wonderwall’ and ‘Supersonic’ as songs, but for a time before the broader cultural malaise they inspired became quite so inescapable"

Really? It reads a lot like the same 'why do idiots like this band?' Suede fans have been writing since 1995. For fans of the False Consciousness school of Marxism. People like Oasis, its fine.

Tempting

Had totally forgot this existed - still a crap banger!

I'm glad Sadiq is the Mayor of my city.
There's a reason he keeps winning elections.

Great album. Way I read it was the main guy Luke’s spin off band Empire of the Sun was way, way more successful so he just stuck with that. 1billion+ streamers can’t be wrong, to paraphrase the Elvis line.

Difficult decision for Beaton that. Not the decision, the giving of it.

Just taken delivery of this reproduction poster from @monorailmusic.bsky.social . Used it as entree to explain in detail to kid the Factory records approach to providing catalogue numbers to things as well as records. Started with 'what is a catalogue number?'. Properly bored her shitless. Skills.

The (Heavenly) Social, off Portland St. We did my wife’s 50th birthday on a Saturday downstairs. Was more than that but not hugely more so probably haggle given Tuesday. Also, if you just need upstairs bar might be cheaper.

Mate Keith’s just written the Manics book coming out - apparently they were terrified.
