"A crystal glass in a sink of dirty dishes" Really enjoyed this episode about the life of Sandy Denny 🩵 What a wonderfully beautiful voice she had www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/...

Rock & Roll Cats & their servants, #56 of an occasional series. The legend that is Vic Godard with feline friend

Not seen the film, but I really enjoyed reading this. Fascinating & disturbing about being houseless (NOT homeless), life on the road, the American economy, ageing, debt, community, and how more-and-more folks are choosing or falling into this life

Beautiful 🎶🌻🎶🌻🎶🌻🎶🌻🎶

Relatively short walk today, The Wildcat Trail in Newtonmore. Along by the Spey and up into open moorland, but best of all was spotting these painted models on route. There's quite a few, in all sorts of places. Painted by local schoolchildren, we think

Beautiful day in the mountains 🌤 Full winter gear on at times (snowing & a fierce wind chill 🥶), then next you know, you're overheating

Been enjoying some excellent books these past few days 📚

Found this little one in our back garden yesterday

Great day out on some Cairngorm Munros 🌤 Absolutely knackered now though

Passed away on this day in 2020: Dave Greenfield, most famously of #TheStranglers Pics; Gus Stewart Ian Tyas youtu.be/QTIhiyurWEc?si…

Cracking day 🌤🌻🌼😎

48 years ago Eternally Yours is the second album by Australian punk rock band The Saints, released in May 1978 #punk #punks #punkrock #thesaints #eternallyyours #history #punkrockhistory

An artist's impression of the Boots the Chemists building on the corner of Argyle Street and Union Street, which was completed in 1962. Known locally as 'dissy' - disappointment - 'corner', if your date didn't show up.

Poor wee fella has only gone and got himself some nasty injuries 😿 Vet put in some stitches yesterday, suggesting he may have caught himself on some barbed wire or a sharpened post. Either way, he was clearly in a great deal of pain. Been resting all day 💤😿🧡

It's Saturday, so we're back with those old Anderston postcards. Today, we're looking West on Stobcross Street, which now lies buried beneath the end of the Clydeside Expressway. A community sacrificed for the car.

I love this mural by Frodrik on the concrete blocks used to fill in one of the arches of the fromer Cumberland Street Station on the Southside of Glasgow. It fits in perfectly with the shape of the arch. #glasgow #streetart #mural #gorbals

Post a non-religious picture you think of as holy

Central, Glasgow's great glass living room, is back in action. Here's the city's commuter cathedral in 1932, as seen by artist Frederick Murgatroyd. The original of this sketch can now be seen in the station's subterranean museum, which you can visit as part of the station tour.

John Cale's album Slow Dazzle was released on March 25, 1975 #BrianEno

Morning all. Under the Tyne Bridge, Newcastle, December 1976. Photographer Graham Smith.

Born 24 March 1935 - Carol Kaye, one of the most prolific bass guitarists, who has played on an estimated 10,000 recordings in a career spanning over 50 years. Kaye was the bassist on many Phil Spector and Brian Wilson productions in the 1960s and 1970s. She is 91 years old today. #CarolKaye

Nick Lowe is 77. Here he is distilling Steely Dan & Thin Lizzy to create 2.39m of pop perfection along with Dave Edmunds, Billy Bremner & Terry Williams aka Rockpile. Love his Riddler jacket. youtu.be/YEpr8kaczck?...

'The Brisbane of Saints songs was a corrupt police state in classic British colonial style under the thumb of tinpot premier Joh Bjelke-Petersen from 1968-1987. ‘(I’m) Stranded’ was an S.O.S.' The Saints – ‘Brisbane (Security City)’ from Prehistoric Sounds (1978) buff.ly/10hOug2

Ora Cogan and her band are touring at the moment, if you're able to, go see them 🎶 Brilliant last night at The Lubber Fiend in Newcastle 🖤 And the new album, Hard Hearted Woman, is also fantastic 🎶 @oracogan.bsky.social @sacredbones.bsky.social

This was an enthralling read, as you'd expect from Bob Woodward. Takes you from the Jan 6th insurrection to Biden leaving office, and is, obviously, very relevant with regards to current events. Many thx @chri5duke.bsky.social for lending to me 🙏 Highly recommended #Books #BooksofBluesky 📚

'The B-side of ‘(I’m) Stranded’, which the Saints self-released in 1976, beating the first-wave of UK punk to the punch and parlaying their DIY guile to gobsmacked reviews and a record deal.' #TheSaints – ‘No Time’ from (I’m) Stranded (1977) - The Strange World Of Ed Kuepper buff.ly/10hOug2

Painted a Leith close from a photo posted by @74frankfurt.bsky.social a few weeks ago. Decided to paint another close from a different post

Fantastic twofer last night at Pop Recs Sunderland, Heavenly and The Cords 🎶 A jangletastic evening 🎸
