I love an old foghorn

Our morning view on Skye. We were gonna get up early and do stuff but…what’s the rush?

When in Rome…

Quiraing, Skye. It’s hardly peak season, the weather’s shite yet it’s mobbed. People in shorts ffs.

Possibly the best thing there will be about the World Cup

Wish you were here? @wayneconnolly.bsky.social

Our cottage on Skye is lovely but the plumbing ain’t what it should be

6 hrs 30 mins after leaving Edinburgh we’ve arrived in Skye. The sun is shining, the lambs are gambolling, the beers are chilling: all is as it should be.

Good news and sad news from Down Under remind me of the time we played hide n seek with a roo. Live long, live well, love all creatures.

Apologies, I left off the greatest song ever recorded Nothing else matters

Top 10 songs 🤔 Candyskin - Fire Engines I Believe In Miracles - Jackson Sisters Repetition - The Fall Plateau - Meat Puppets Eight Miles High - The Byrds As Long As I Have You - Garnett Mimms What Do I Get - Buzzcocks Rez - Underworld Boy Watcher - Ginger Thomson Walk On By - The Stranglers

What these extraordinary numbers make clear is that Reform is less a political party and more a very highly paid public-facing lobby group for oil and gas interests https://www.desmog.com/2026/04/30/reform-uk-nigel-farage-millions-donations-fossil-fuel-interests-climate-science-deniers/

Hebden Bridge versus Cornholme, the struggle is real

Long weekend off starts here

Abolish Golf

‘Doom jazz’ 🤦‍♂️ Whatever it’s called, this is a fine sound from Glasgow

Saw this lot play last year and very good they were. This new track puts me in mind of early Cure though it’s very much its own sound too. They’re playing Leeds soon

Coming soon - qd49 Sulk Rooms - Songs of Soil Excited to announce that next in the quiet details series is a wonderful interpretation from the creative powerhouse Thomas Ragsdale, @sulkrooms.bsky.social Wed 6th May, digital and CD editions. Listening party Thur 7th May at 19:00 UK time #music

Faith Elliot can help you start your day right

Those good folk at Squaredle need to broaden their vocabulary somewhat

“And after all that, the cunt never even said ‘Thank you’”

S G Goodman plays Butthole Surfers Oh yes! youtu.be/ekfRKQwcXRg?...

I see these time wasters are still at it

Upcoming Polypores gigs for 2026! Link in bio for tickets where available. Come and see me play, I promise you will not be bored.

A short novel to mess with yr head about doppelgängers inhabiting the same lives and spaces around London. Absurd and darkly comic. Very different to Waidner’s previous but otherworldly still

Would (still) fill one of the Manchester skyscrapers with different sized fish at each level, one big shark at the top going down to lots of little bioluminescent ones at the bottom. If I was absolutely hellbent on breaking even I’d put a padel court on top

Leith Links looking bonny this evening

The professionalism of my colleagues never ceases to amaze me. Someone showed up to a Teams meeting about poverty issues sporting a ‘FEELING PEACHY’ sweatshirt today. Respect

Monday

After 3 hours the girls accepted that the LSD tabs they’d bought off the stable boy were probably not going to ‘kick like a mule’ #GirlsOwnCC

Just ran a 10k race in 46 minutes which I should be pleased with but I was beaten by a bloke with a tache and a mullet as well as by a much older balding bloke with a silver pony tail. The fucking indignity of it

Friends have been spending the last 22 hours running in 4 mile loops in a park for some backyard ultra madness. They will soon have run 100 miles. Meanwhile I’m getting anxious about running 10k on the streets of Grangemouth this afternoon… Anyone else running today?

Starting the day right

The perfect groynes of Portobello. Note the multicoloured hooks for swimmers’ towels

Having an Aussie partner I’m watching this with my jaw dropping while they’re just nodding going ‘yep, that happens’

If you need your eyesight tested no need to go to an optometrist, just read down this list of bands. Line 6 is where I get stuck 😀

Moni Jitchell not only have a bostin name they also have some fine tunes to pummel yr ears My gig photos are so shit they’re fucking art

If you fancy a huge noise fronted by a bloke wielding a hammer and eating chains then Believe In Nothing are for you. Fucking tremendous

One day of lovely sunshine and the haar comes in quick as you like to put as back in our places

I’m now going out to a gig and will pay £12 cash on the door. Proper

The Mail should be burnt to the ground along with frogface and his backers. Fuck the ‘Crippling cost of handouts’, it’s the crippling cost of Brexit and nuclear weapons and tax avoidance that need addressed

I’m always here for such delicious content

Maybe just me, but it looks like he's done that a few times before. Routine, even. The industry cannot be reformed, it won't even try despite decades of this evidence and court cases, so it has to be ended by everyone else. They've got to go.

Just bought 2 gig tickets @£20 each. Paid £50 in total, no postage. 25% extra in fees to some merchant wankers. Bring back sending a cheque in a SAE to the venue and having the excitement of it returning 2 weeks later.

4 ospreys and a fish. 5 minutes with more beauty than a lifetime of Hugh Grant.

This LP has really grown on me. Solid guitar sound with a touch of the VU at times. Looking forward to seeing them in the Weeg next month Pôt-pot Warsaw 480km youtu.be/xU4lpAw-9Uo?...

I may as well reshare it myself 😇
