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?...

Cheerful Japanese pop punk gang The Let's Go's are at Stereo in Glasgow next Saturday. Should be fun! youtu.be/ntepr3wWgcM?...

Pretty solid tune selection between bands at this Acopia gig: Felt, Bill Callahan, Chris Cohen etc. 😎

Last in current run of National Park shows is at the Old Hairdressers, Glasgow, October 11th for @glasgoespop.bsky.social - come along! National Park / Jetstream Pony / Warren James - tickets on sale now: wegottickets.com/event/666254

Been enjoying Married To Vinyl's YouTube channel for a while now. Man, they *love* The Church! Anyways, it's so lovely to see them spotlighting the wonderful Northern Picture Library 😎 youtu.be/gXISxkGYpPk?...

@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

Solid Space – New Statue ("Morning Song") [UK, Electronic/Lo-fi] (1982) https://redd.it/6upwhc https://youtu.be/FP_hhO2BOwQ

Starting soon! Come on...it's only rain 🤣

Amazing @thecrystalteardrop.bsky.social action shot! (nabbed from their Instagram)

Any Beach Boys fans in the Glasgow area looking for soft pop kicks tonight are advised to head to The Old Hairdresser's where Ike Goldman presents their new album in full 😎 www.theoldhairdressers.com?events=ike-g...

This is so great it placed tears in my eyes when I first heard it 😭😎 youtu.be/UBE9E4-CQRY?...

It's kinda cool that you hear Mazzy Star a lot in restaurants and bars these days 😋

Linda Smith - I So Liked Spring [Lo Fi, Indie] [198x] https://redd.it/6gl51n https://youtu.be/je9XSDuY52s

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?...

Sonic Boom - Rock n Roll Is Killing My Life [UK, Synth Rock/Electronic?, Suicide Cover] (1989) https://redd.it/8wdis3 https://youtu.be/KTPa2Obfqzs

One from the I Didn't Expect That! file...

I really loved the first two Ghosted LPs by Oren Ambarchi, Johan Berthling & Andreas Werliin on Drag City, and the third one is just as good, it's out this Friday, check it. orenambarchi.bandcamp.com/album/ghoste...

If you're in Glasgow on Friday night and fancy some primo 60s garage rock, get yrself down to McChuills 😉😎

Since a cold has ruled out seeing Ned Collette at The Glad Cafe tonight, I think the time is right to stump up the £10.95 required to stream the Redd Kross documentary on Vimeo 😄 youtu.be/FcwDoLuo1QU?...

Caught up with That Record Got Me High's latest episodes. Up until last night I had purposefully avoided hearing solo Todd Rundgren but the chat with The Db's/Big Star Quintet's Chris Stamey was really enjoyable 😋 www.thatrecordgotmehigh.com/s8e419-todd-...

Bought a very cheap 2nd hand CD of "Slam" by Big Dipper a while back (thanks Thirteen Records of Dundee!). It's so much better to my ears than the ratings/reviews would suggest 🤔😎 en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slam_(B...

Wednesday night in Glasgow at The Garage looks fun 😎

Gearing up for Redd Kross's Glasgow gig (Tuesday, 19th August @ Audio) with another spin of their fab double lp from last year 😎 youtu.be/JnURQ3ImlY8?...

Went to a couple of shows at the Edinburgh International Festival (Orpheus & Eurydice) and The Fringe (Flick) but would like to have seen this play about The Shaggs but it started too late 🫤

Duster - Inside Out [US, Lo-Fi / Slowcore] (1998) https://redd.it/5ja5ns https://youtu.be/IKsq7sLH4vQ

I'll go to bed soon but not before I listen to this another 7 times (at least!) 🕺 youtu.be/MbN7eDGlhJQ?...

There's a nice Kent reissue of this fab slice of soft harmony soul kicking around just now. The younger me wouldn't have touched it with a barge pole but now... youtu.be/QwmIZ2NpJg0?...

The Ryli lp is really lovely. The quieter bits put me in mind of the great Slumber Party which is a good thing! dandyboyrecords.bandcamp.com/album/come-a...

I just remembered about The Particles. What a joy! theparticles.bandcamp.com/track/bits-o...

Sunday morning viewing 😎 youtu.be/cXwsWClHB1U?...

National Park are so great! If you're near...GO! 😎

The traditional Twaddle format returned last night — live on Mixcloud — after a detour last week into anything-goes territory. This might be the middle of high summer that we’re in right now but I was still able to find plenty of worthwhile new tracks to include. The contents are listed below!

😎

Oh to be in Manchester tonight!

Jacqueline's best, I reckon 😎

Put the radio on and Audrey Golden was talking about her forthcoming book on The Raincoats (out this Thursday) and playing some of their tracks. Days off work are the best 😋

5 times in a row for this MASTERPIECE of 60s pop/garage 😎 youtu.be/dD2UuxXksoQ?...

i really do think it is terrifying that technofascism’s ultimate goal is eliminating human-ness from the world. we may be fucked up and we may fuck up in any number of ways but people being people in all our incredible variance and depth is what makes the fabric of life so rich

There was a selection of fine t-shirts on display at Glas-Goes Pop! but special mention must be made of the Hangman's Beautiful Daughters shirt. You don't see one of those every day! High five to the tall chap in the brown cap 😎

😆

Looking forward to bouncing around to this at Mono later (better look out my sports bra...) areyoufeelinglightheaded.bandcamp.com/track/me-and...

BBC6Music are playing The Human League right now which gives me the opportunity to say that Phil Oakey was in Thirteen Records in Dundee yesterday while I was browsing 😋

Started the day with Cowboy Junkies. In terms of melody and voice, "200 More Miles" is peerless 😭 youtu.be/Np5e2TzMMcA?...
