Idlewild @ Aberdeen beach ballroom. Roddy did actually dedicate a song to those of us who saw them at the music hall in 2000

Fierce Bar in Aberdeen has the worst sound system going. I thought a Fleetwood Mac song was Weezer and a Talking Heads tracks was fucking Rod Stewart

Idlewild to tonight, 25 years after I saw them the first time

This week's records

Like MAGA, transphobes have gotten everything they wanted in 2025. And, like MAGA, they've never been more vitriolic toward the institutions they've captured, more disgusted by their wounded victims, more ready to plough forth into realms of cruelty that even they would have balked at a year ago.

Cruelty is anhedonic. It rarely delivers the euphoria promised because, in the abstract, what feels righteous and joyful inevitably reveals itself to be sordid and small. Then it's "No not like that". "No not enough". "No the real battle, the forever war to make this feel good starts now". Forever.

TKO's wrestling promotion WWE is a distusting organisation but at least they have put a lot of classic WCW shows up on YouTube. You still do not have to hand it to them

Home today after 21 days at sea 🚁

This still won’t be enough for the headbangers though. Next they’ll want the CEO sacked for expressing remorse

Venezuela and the ‘Espresso’ singer, the new axis of evil.

Always funny when these sort of dipshits cry that they know how to spend their money better than a government does and it’s just stupid shit like this.

I yelled

Beyond washed

What I've been listening to this week.

These lads are going to get in trouble for making all of their journo colleagues look like gormless fucking idiots, quite frankly

Politician who fanned anti-LGBT sentiment stunned to find rising levels of anti-LGBT sentiment

Seriously considering going full Bandcamp Da and getting the Stars of the Lid tee that I'm seeing ads for on the socials

My nephew is 7 and he's always loved dinosaurs, til his parents told him he's too old for them and other kids might make fun of him at school for it so theyve deliberately pushed him towards 'normal' stuff, and so last time I saw him he declared "I don't like dinosaurs anymore, I like HARRY POTTER!"

Worst media on God's green Earth

Posted something pretty innocuous under a news story post on Facebook about the Palestine/Saltire flags in Glasgow and the replies I was getting were so fucking insane I'm thinking of deleting the app altogether lol people are fucking DERANGED about their flegs

Good morning to Brazilian reporter Manuela Borges, who’s been waiting eleven years for this petty moment. ❤️ 🇧🇷

My ★★★★½ review of Edge of Darkness on @letterboxd: boxd.it/bNOSpt

What I’ve been listening to this week

Checking in on MechaHitler

Somehow, the other Scottish papers are going to blame Sturgeon

Keep hearing the ad for that new Nuremberg movie that’s out. From what I’ve seen and the way Rami Malek is shouting lines, it seems very BBC1 drama on a Sunday night

RIP Mani. That’s a sad one

@jyoolz.bsky.social was looking through old playlists and I think the title of this was from one of your tweets? open.spotify.com/playlist/3uy...

Absolutely buzzing, hope all of Scotland’s matches next year are in Mexico and Canada

I am here every goddamn day post a YouTube link to a song for maybe 3 Likes

This and Spotify also down? Bad day for pro-Trump apps on your phone

Was playing this in the car with a gf years ago, she put it off halfway in an started arguing about it

Had on ‘Reveal’ by REM today. An album I really liked when it came out and still enjoy, although I suspect many heads may consider it to be ‘shite’

Having a Turkish Delight lads youtube.com/watch?v=Zckq...

To reiterate, this is about making life immeasurably more miserable and stressful for some of the most vulnerable people, in the almost certainly vain hope of winning over the votes of racists. Anything more shabby and shameful is difficult to envisage.

I have never listened to a Charli xcx track before but a pal sent me the single she’s done with John Cale. Is this what the brat summer album sounds like

Kirsten and I send each other videos of Brodie dancing to whatever music we have on. Her vids are like actual children’s music and Disney, my ones will have him dancing to the Liars concept album about witches

I hope I’m never in a tranche of emails

This weeks listening

We have launched a new Play Online Centre. Not just the Dizzy games, but a lot of the classic Codemasters games to play online too. 🥚 thecodemastersarchive.co.uk/playonline/

QANON CULTIST IN 2017: "In this 1,879 page thread I will unravel the byzantine system of codewords and phrases the global elite use to mask their pedophile cabal." JEFFREY EPSTEIN WRITING AN EMAIL AT THE SAME TIME: "helo its me jeff had fun cmmitting sex crimes wit u lst weeknd"

Guy has a deus vult tattoo lol

Listening to The Clash with the bairn

I don’t know Reddit, Is Charli xx the next Scott Walker?
