Giving this old relic a bit of TLC... made in 1978, bought by my dad for me in the Barras market (the shop had a sign that said 'WE BUY GOLF') in 1989. I wanted a telecaster but I ended up with this - £90 plus hard case. It took me years to like it, now I love it very much (1/2)

Fell asleep on the couch reading my Stereolab book, woke up to this late afternoon sight...

Looking up at Caledonian Mansions on Great Western Road from the walkway along the River Kelvin in Glasgow. Designed by James Miller in a Free Arts and Crafts/Glasgow Style, it was built in the 1890s for the Caledonian Railway Company. #glasgow #architecture #archiecturephotography #kelvinbridge

I made a whole BBC TV series (2020) about the remarkable resilience of the people of Iran and their culture over centuries of threat and callous rule. You can watch it right here: www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m...

“Gibbs frequently returns to the idea that what we know as Black American music evolved through a complex series of adaptations to a hostile environment and an unfamiliar musical framework.”

It's time, friends. We *can* manage without them, and in 2026 there is no more reason to continue with them.

Dropped my kid off in Edinburgh then ended up here by mistake... Jupiter Artland; I've always meant to visit anyway so I just went in - a great walk around a nice old estate, and a cafe , shop & toilets if you want. Loved it, recommended if you are west or Edinburgh, great views too

Reading about Stereolab, listening to Stereolab, eating chocolate...

The West George Street facade of 163 Hope Street in Glasgow. It was designed by John A. Campbell and was built in 1902, and it's a stunning example of turn-of-the-century Glasgow architecture. #glasgow #architecture #glasgowbuildings #westgeorgestreet #architecturephotography

I was happy to even be a little involved with Douglas & Creeping Bent right at the start of Black Hill Transmissions (he even suggested I use the name)... He's always supportive & encouraging, giving us the Port Sulphur support at CCA which was a thrill 👍👍👍 The book should be good.

That's me all set up for the day with my pop-up stall in the St Enoch Centre. As well as the debut of my rather beautiful recycled metal pin badges, I've got copies of Glasgow Uncovered, mounted photos, greetings cards and fridge magnets. Cont./ #glasgow #glasgowtoday #stenochcentre

Look what I remembered came out 25 years ago. March 2001, my first 12”, the semi-mythical ‘Harry The Guitar’. Cut by the legendary Miles Showell and it got daytime Radio 1 airplay from Jo Whiley. All downhill since then.
