A retired friend just sent me this. Bastard

Look at all this - an absolute rabble of heavy bass, distorted synths, cut-up voices, dub echoes, rattling percussion & treble-y guitar It could all be yours too, if you want it... blackhilltransmissions.bandcamp.com #MusicSky

Found a 40 year old photo of me showing my fondness for shaving my head and wearing a cardigan

I’ve been getting the bus to work more frequently over the last 6 months and the thing I’ve noticed is how many people are reading actual books while they travel. I now scan the bus as I get on and it puts a smile on my face when I count 3 or 4 physical readers. #Booksonbuses

I’m loving this Rhythm & Sound mix of The Congos’ Fisherman youtu.be/EZyu1xFVI8I?...

Clearly a stupid idea at the time, the mural is now being removed because residents hate it 🤦‍♂️

Leith Links looking bonny this morning

Trying to figure out why a music label that puts out some great sounds wants to sell folk a branded ‘survival axe’ 🤔 There’s just 8 left if you’re interested northernelectronics.bandcamp.com/merch/ne-fw2...

Just had a swim and sauna. I reckon my body is now less than 5% tequila, thankfully

Steve Reed is an idiot youtu.be/DL9lTcU96pU?...

Gonna repost this for as long as is necessary

Enjoying this Prince Paul remix of FYC’s I’m Not Satisfied where Roland Gift’s vocals are stripped out and a strident rap and multiple samples more than make up for it youtu.be/btlMGgl2gnQ?...

We ❤️ Scottish crime fiction here in the #bookshop and are hugely excited by this new crime comedy novel out today! Kevan Christie describes his book as a ‘love letter to #Portobello’ and we think it’ll be a huge hit! Grab a copy today from your #localbookshop!

#NowPlaying Easing my weary head into a beautiful Sunday youtu.be/bQ5-Z2-_fV8?...

I was introduced to the Paloma cocktail last night and somehow we were the last to leave the bar after 1am and now I am experiencing that whole body sensation of being broken but feeling pleasantly serene, contemplating what is possible with the day

#NowPlaying The New Eves - The New Eve Is Rising This is great, full of spirit and simple pop hooks theneweves.bandcamp.com/album/the-ne...

‘At the request of no one I am sending a battalion of squirrels to quell the intolerable geese problem in Dunfermline and restore order to our once great former capital. Thank you for ignoring me’

Postie’s been - new Burial disc 🤩 burial.bandcamp.com/album/comafi...

Person in front of me at Tesco checkout was buying Imodium and stain removing washing liquid. Hate to think what happened 😳

Leith Links looking bonny this morning

Anyone manage to get tickets for Green Man Festival next year? Had tix in basket then system kicked me out😱

That ‘Highest To Lowest’ film by Spike Lee is a bit shit isn’t it? Saw ‘Can I Get A Witness’ this week too, which was underwhelming. Hoping that ‘One Battle After Another’ is gonna be decent despite its anxiety-inducing length…

Bellshill Athletic player Jamie McVey models the club's new strip, a collaboration with local band The Soup Dragons. (2025)

People keep banging on about FOMO. Fuck that,I’ve got FOJI: Fear Of Joining In

I like this Rainbow song #TOTP

Leith Links was looking bonny this morning with a shallow mist hovering above the grass while the sun’s red tinted rays snuck through patchy cloud and trees whose leaves are on the turn. Dogs disappeared and joggers halted knee deep in mist to take photos. I forgot my phone 🤦‍♂️

Brighde Chaimbeul in Edinburgh tonight was pretty special. Mesmerising low pitch small pipe drones and repetitive sounds evocative of the isles and ancient times. The sort of sounds you’d love to hear The Bug remix

Total indiepop bliss The Cords play Edinburgh 4th October youtu.be/yx3XH95c2Uk?...

Live, Laugh, Love

@robtruestories.bsky.social You seen the latest Slow Horses? First episode features a character called Rob True doing very bad things😱

Cumbrian otters need our help! Here's why: Nature's interconnectedness used to be thoroughly understood by humans. They understood that different animals and plants relied on each other, and that if one disappeared, others would too.

Just been to gym for first time in years. Most people just sit on the equipment scrolling on their phones with muscly thumbs. Home now, drinking can of lager

If you see this, post a concert photo you took

This is giving me a spring in my step this morning youtu.be/rd08qDpBdbI

This lot should be good to see next month in Glasgow youtu.be/L62Zz9z6dUg?...

During the covid years BBCRADIO6 Ambient Focus asked me to do a 2 hour KRM mix for them. So i probed, stretched and tested how far i could take an ambient mix. From Bowie to Burial to Drumm via Don Cherry was my result... U can still find it here : swamptowers.blogspot.com/2021/10/kevi...

There's a shady character on Queen Street. Twice in the year, at the vernal and autumnal equinoxes, the dawn light shines right along Ingram Street, turning the Iron Duke, his steed, Copenhagen, and even his traffic cone hat, into a shadowy work of art. Picture: u/Hoyerman68

Off to see Brìghde Chaimbeul later this week, looking forward to it muchly www.youtube.com/live/Igu61TR...
