Music mainly, 80s to present day, often Scottish. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 And the MP Cats.
That was sensational. And to think the day before tickets went on sale, I briefly considered not bothering!

Jason and Jon have set a very high bar for Sugar to reach.

Bob Mould having fun at Oran Mor this evening despite some cuntish behaviour during Too Far Down from people celebrating a goal. There's a time and a place for that.

Well that was nightmare drive to get along the M8- nearly 90 mins to get from the M9 junction to Oran Mor but now waiting for Bob .

WTF is on in Glasgow tonight? 😂

On a related note, I see Che Adams has been dropped to allow him to support.

Two ways of looking at the Denmark game.

1) Lady Luck is doing everything she can to get us to the Finals and won't stop til she does.

2) Since half the team is demonstrably not international class, our luck has to run out soon.

Is anybody else getting logged out of this app on a regular basis? It's happening to me every second day.

Sometimes I'm a jammy fucker. Managed to lose my phone on a 1 min walk/30 sec sprint to the tram in Edinburgh. Only discovered this on tram so had to get off at first stop and go back.

10 minutes of sheer terror since it wasn't at station or on path but someone had handed it in to reception.

The mighty STOOR have finally released their third album Fecund.

If you're interested in original post-punk, hints of Wire, the Three Johns and Flying Nun, yet sounding not quite like any of that, it's available via Bandcamp now

Don't imagine my picks for #5debutalbums1014 will make much impact.

This one by four ex-Petrols really should have made a splash but somehow fell between the cracks.

It's still worthy of investigation although only through Bandcamp.
