Glasgow pals looking for 60s garage rock kicks tonight are advised to head along to McChuills for this fine beat and fuzz happening 😎

I spent a whole 1 hour and 14 minutes in the tub last night listening to @robelba.bsky.social and guest, Mark Earnest, discussing "Warehouse Songs and Stories" 😎 www.thatrecordgotmehigh.com/s8e433-huske...

One from the "I Did Not Know That" file 😜

Completing the top row, it’s the magnificent Hypnotized by Spacemen 3 youtu.be/M60txSlRla8

A fine array!

It's wild that Kathryn Williams, Gillian Welch & David Rawlings, Swirlies, The Cords/Radhika, Autechre and Seefeel are all within 7 days. My poor wee wallet! 🤪

After 30+ years of enjoying their music, tonight is the night I finally get to see Swirlies live! 😄 swirlies.bandcamp.com/track/san-cr...

Rummaging in the 7" boxes for something else, I stumbled on this utter beauty. This is a good day! halfstring.bandcamp.com/track/oval

"Don't explain who you are. You can wear a mystery like a sheriff's star. Don't explain who you are. Why apologise for an open heart?" - Kathryn Williams "Sea of Shadows" (an expected name-check for MF Doom, too) kathrynwilliams.bandcamp.com/track/sea-of...

Made a last minute decision to see Toria Wooff at The Old Toll on Tuesday. Just her and an acoustic guitar and she was pretty incredible. Can't stop thinking about her set. It was just so moving. I can't get over the clarity of her voice... toriawooff.bandcamp.com/track/song-f...

+1 on the endorsement for Brenda's fanzine and art! 😎

Jump to 8mins 43secs. It's such a beautiful song! www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/...

There's a biography of Chris Knox out this week - the author Craig Robertson contacted me a few years ago, as back in 1995 when I was at Ak Uni, I made a half hour documentary on Chris and he wanted to see it. Anyway, I dug out the digital file and it's now online, enjoy! youtu.be/VQjvic02S8M?...

Gotta say...I'm surprised that there are still tickets left for Tindersticks co-founder/Clay Pipe Music artist David Boulter's December show at the utterly unique Sharmanka: www.ticketsource.co.uk/whats-on/gla...

"The seaside theme is there in my music. All that world means a lot to landlocked Sheffield – it’s all a bit seedy, but a creative outlet" Sahar Ghadirian speaks to James Leesley, aka Studio Electrophonique, ahead of his debut album release this Friday ⬇️ #Sheffield #StudioElectrophonique

Been really enjoying the debut Studio Electrophonique lp! How could I not be smitten when there's a song as lovely as this on it? studioelectrophonique.bandcamp.com/track/too-ma...

Spacemen 3 heads assemble to celebrate a coupla auspicious birthdays 😎

One of my fave Scottish 12"s of recent years is "Le Blank" by Quad90. They're launching their debut lp at The Glad Cafe in Glasgow in Friday. Should get the feet moving 😋 youtu.be/Ql-EbZrEY-Q?...

@rockingbob.bsky.social played this GEM off 7" in Mono last night after the fab Saint Etienne Q&A with Stephen Pastel. I have seldom been so jealous of someone 😉 youtu.be/ROdaiIkqk2s?...

The company I work for moved offices last year. Since then music has been played in some communal areas. Over time it's got good e.g. today I heard The Flatmates while getting a coffee. Earlier this week it was Belle & Sebastian, Jesus & Mary Chain, Nick Drake, Velvet Underground. Unexpected 😉

A couple of weeks ago Charlie Butler supported the absolutely mesmerising/pulverizing Water Damage in Glasgow. His set was gorgeous so I bought a tape from the merch stall. It's fab! charliebutler1.bandcamp.com/album/full-b...

Woah! This is tremendous!

This afternoon's work from home music: somewherepress.bandcamp.com/album/spool

Natasha Raskin Sharp just played this sweet Brittle Stars track on her BBC Radio Scotland which gives me another chance to point out that there's a tiny Polaroid of (much) younger me on the cover (2nd row, farthest right) 😋 youtu.be/7dN-Xo8FDuU?...

Anyone out there looking for either Raincoats/Audrey Golden book event at The Glad Cafe or Six Organs of Admittance/Richard Youngs at The Old Hairdresser's tickets? My pal has one of each going 😉

The edge of autumn can only mean it's time for the Clientele. Here's "Since K got over me" played in a bandstand in an autumnal park. youtu.be/u9bHbwywrRc?...

An enjoyable run through of a classic 😄 youtu.be/DXSXGXHF0Ng?...
