Greetings to all the Oilers and Texans fans out there.

Incredible show by @thelotterywinners.bsky.social at La Belle Angele in Edinburgh tonight. If you get the chance to see them on this tour, you must go. If there's a better live band out there, I'd be very impressed.

Oh my, what a set by @hamishhawk.bsky.social @krankenhausfest.bsky.social Utterly brilliant and an incredible reaction from the crowd.

It's @hamishhawk.bsky.social day at @krankenhausfest.bsky.social Yay! Also, @seapowerband.bsky.social might be playing later...

Fantastic set by @arabstrap.scot at @krankenhausfest.bsky.social

Happy @brighterdayvinyl.bsky.social delivery day to me!

If you don't love @thecribs.bsky.social as much as I do, can we still be friends? I don't know but remember. Be Safe

Mon the Cribs!

Not sure why someone posted Jota's market value on Facebook, but if you're in any doubt about what an absolute f#£%ing shitshow AI is, here you go. Utterly abysmal.

Some Cowdenbeath charity shop joy this morning. Lovely.

It's not a @brighterdayvinyl.bsky.social delivery day, because they arrived yesterday. However, I am absolutely delighted with this JD/NO selection, including a fabulous copy of Unknown Pleasures.

Superb stuff from @flaminglips.bsky.social at the Usher Hall last night. Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots in full plus other belters including a rare but welcome outing for Chemical Bros collab The Golden Path.

@flaminglips.bsky.social coming up at Usher Hall. Yoshimi!

On the bus to Glasgow for @seapowerband.bsky.social tonight. Listening to the latest lp by @edwyncollins.bsky.social I mean, to have had such a great career and then pull this out of the bag to cap it off... Magnificent

Manic Street Preachers coming up.

I was gutted to miss out on a couple of things I really wanted in Sunday's @brighterdayvinyl.bsky.social flick thru. However, delivery day today has cheered me up, especially since it combines two of my passions - music and bike racing (as a fan, obvs...)

Inner sleeve must have been left lying around at some point. Better than a post it. Thankfully, they didn't use a ballpoint. Glad it was all okay.

For health reasons, I have two standing tickets for @psbhq.bsky.social at the Usher Hall to sell. Face value or less if need be. Can transfer on Ticket master app.

Nice touch from Doves and @waxandbeans.bsky.social

Chuck Prophet does Green on Red at St Luke's on Sunday night. Fantastic. @runpunk.bsky.social

Given that Trump and Musk seem determined that the judiciary should simply ape the executive rather than acting as the legal balance which the US Constitution intended, this is as relevant as it ever was.

A few Van LPs picked up today from the excellent Audio Emotion in Glenrothes. The Saint Dominic's Preview is a superb 1972 green label copy and plays beautifully.

In a local charity shop, shaking my head at the price of this 7". Quick check on Discogs, though, and it's about right!

Now listening. Rubik's Cube ep by @dictator.bsky.social Looking forward to their gig at PJ Molloys tonight.

Franz Ferdinand at The Liquid Room. The dark of the matinee...

Desperately sad news about the passing of Sam Moore. Let's not talk about his musical partner but Sam really was a great one. RIP Soul Man

I've had some great deliveries from @brighterdayvinyl.bsky.social over the last few years but this might be my favourite now listening to Cabaret Voltaire. Fantastic!

Classic 80s electro- dance from one of the many great bands from Sheffield.

Antmusic 7" Adam and the Ants

Happy Oilers decoration day!

Been listening to this cracker by @acertainratio.bsky.social over the last couple of days and the pressing by @seabassvinyl.bsky.social is an absolute zinger.

In Dundee for a hospital appointment, I may have passed a couple of charity shops. Temptation gets all the glory but this is my go to Heaven 17 song. And you don't find stone cold classics like this Lucinda Williams cd very often these days

Arrived today. Had to complete the Black America Sings series from @acerecords.bsky.social Great comps really worth checking out.

Have been waiting for this. Very excited...

My pal @blueleafnature.bsky.social and I used to love a "talky bit" when we collected old soul records. Isaac Hayes and Bobby Womack are up there, but we reckoned Lou Rawls was the king of the talky bit. Let's have your favourite spoken bits in songs, folks. Doesn't have to be old or soul.

Happy @brighterdayvinyl.bsky.social delivery day to all who celebrate. I know I do.

And it stoned me to my soul Stoned me just like goin' home

Morning #VinyRecords

Loved this by HiFiSean and David McAlmont - Daylight Companion piece Twilight due early next year, I believe

Repost for a chance to win this Charlatans bobble hat Might as well kick things off with a gift - winner picked at 9pm this Sunday
