Many of you know I am from Glasgow. Tonight The Cure are playing their first Glasgow show for 25 years (I was at the last one in the Barrowlands. The only time I have actually seen The Cure in fact)
To celebrate […] -

I listened to this song for the first time ever just today!
It’s shite.

Folks, the bassist from Manowar is going on a spoken word tour!!!!!
I cannot do justice to this, so here’s a quote
“The glory and the battles; the secrets, and the triumphs of steel; life on the road and in the […] -

I had a weird party trick in the 90s. I used to sing “It Dread Inna Inglan” by Linton Kwesi Johnson in my extremely Glasweigan accent. It used to go down quite well.

Aliens
It is my wife’s favorite film of all time, so I admit this tips me.
But here is the reason. Ripley spends all of the films telling the truth and being ignored, until the point in Aliens when Hicks […]

Sometimes you just need to be obvious. Stick your favorite moon related tunes here to mark the 50th anniversary of Neil Armstrong’s giant step…

Yes this is a kind of hoary old post, but what, totally acknowledged classic have you literally just heard and what did you think of it?
About three weeks ago I found a vinyl copy of Willie Nelson’s “Red Headed […] -

The producer. Hiding in a studio, sprinkling magic dust, going home.

ganglesprocket commented on the post, What 5 albums have you listened to most in your life? Be honest, not trendy. 2 months ago
Hard question this but I suspect:
– Pet Sounds – Beach Boys (Practically a weekly play at least since I was 15)
– The Real Thing – Faith No More (I was SO obsessed with this in my teens)
– Music Has The Right […] -
ganglesprocket commented on the post, Sympathy for the devil ET CAETERA ET CAETERA Which artist made you read a (several) book(s) and which one(s)? 2 months ago
Sadly I read the poetry of Alan Ginsberg and On The Road by Jack Kerouac because of Bob Dylan.
I also read Bukowski because of the line mentioning him in “Mellowship Slinky In B Major” by The Red Hot Chilli […]

On the 16th June 1969, Don Van Vliet, after a sustained period of mentally torturing his band mates during a period of abject poverty, released an album which, in my time, I have thought was both the best and the […]

Certainly not restricted to musicians, hell Derek Jarman was at the top of my list. Just people who you think had a fuck load of stuff still to offer…
All three of them still did. Even Len. His last album was […]

Yes a morbid post but fuck it, needs must. I found myself, tonight, reading “Modern Nature” by Derek Jarman whilst listening to Kirsty MacColl. And I began to wonder who are the three people I’d resurrect from the […]

Picador in the 70s was ace. Canongate in the 90s was another. Maclehose at the moment appear to be doing very well in terms of quality if not quite sales.
Thumbs up for Barter Books from me as well, but […]

Labour have a lot of talent bubbling below; Stella Creasy is at the top of my list. Hugely admirable, done a fuck load of good (payday loans), but only a backbench MP, which means sceptical about Corbyn, so […]
