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.

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

Nighty Night 💤

Mrs M told me to read this, and I'm glad I followed her advice. Two men on a wee Scottish island in 1843, trying to communicate w one another, but one not knowing why the other has suddenly arrived. A moving story of loneliness and love #Books #BooksofBluesky 📚
