Top notch disco from the ever upbeat Arab Strap youtu.be/1VeBhMvzdKA?...

I love Celtic ❤️🍀

Det räckte visst inte att det redan är årets album, här kommer en Mogwai-remix också

There are very few people in politics or public life as profoundly unimpressive as Keir Starmer. Unfortunately for us Wes Streeting is definitely one of them.

Tonight! I'm in #edinburgh on my Punk Rock Ruined My Life’ memoirs tour with special guest Stuart from Mogwai. We had a great night in Galashiels last night! Last few tickets from louderthanwar.com/john-robb-me...

C'mon Scotland, let's make it happen. Let's give this decaying Union an overwhelming pro-indy vote 🥰😎

Except for viewers in Wales and Scotland, who can just turn up, so please do (polling card makes things quicker mind) #ItsDevolved

Remember to take your photo ID with you when you go and vote to stop fascism today ✊🏼

Please make Kier Starmers Friday even worse by helping Kneecap get to number 1 🫡🍀🏆

It's easy to succumb to outrage fatigue. But this was four days ago. 2,000 killed. 1.2 million displaced. Entire villages demolished. A 40km 'buffer zone' (10% of Lebanon's territory) annexed. It's barely raised a resigned shrug, but it meets the criteria for war crime. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Beautiful

Just had a minor revelation (lol) - Trump genuinely did think that was an image of a doctor because he’s so ignorant about Christianity that he didn’t know that Jesus healed people in the bible. 😳

To be fair this is a photograph of my actual doctor.

BBC Radio 6 Music 6 Music Artist in Residence 1/4. Stuart Braithwaite of Mogwai shares the tracks that accompany him on his travels, spanning everything from his university days to the tunes he turns to while touring with his bandmates.

Our first @rockactionrecords.scot label pop up shop is next weekend in Glasgow. Come along!! ✊🏼❤️

The Aadam Jacobs Collection is a ballooning goldmine of secret recordings made of bands before they hit stardom, including Nirvana, R.E.M., The Cure, The Pixies, The Replacements, Stereolab, Sonic Youth, and Björk.

I’m just so glad about how happy he’ll be and how sad they’ll be tonight.

GET FUCKED, FASCISTS Don't even try to run for protection from daddy Putin or Trump--their days are numbered, too. Get ready for the Hague. One down, quite a few to go.

Apocalypse No Now

Things by any metric are really not great but at least I don’t have to be at coachella.

Over at @pitchfork.com, I review It's The Long Goodbye, the cathartic new album from The Twilight Sad.

Montreal schoolkids playing one of our tunes is a right tonic so it is youtu.be/h1ZGQAvbGBo?...

Using Spotify is just as bad as using X, in some aspects, even more consequential: Spotify is actively killing music, not just exploiting musicians. All other streaming platforms are better, and have as wide a choice. Migrating your playlists is dead easy. Please leave that evil platform - now.

So has anywhere else in the world done the death penalty but only for one ethnicity? What sort of country were they? The sort that we are told Israel is not?

🍀🙌🏼

From The Twilight Sad: PARTY We're having a party to celebrate the release of 'IT'S THE LONG GOODBYE' in Glasgow tomorrow at @monorailmusic.bsky.social and you're all invited. @plasmatron.bsky.social of @mogwai.scot / @rockactionrecords.scot will be hosting a Q&A with us.

Goodwin’s Partridge speedrun is incredible. Is he presenting The One Show in June?

Great to see people on the streets today in Edinburgh for independence, London against racism and in America against fascism and war ✊🏼 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 🇺🇸

Stuart Braithwaite: ‘Over the years, I’ve pretty much mastered the day off’. When not working, the Mogwai singer and guitarist tends to focus on vegan food and record shops. https://bit.ly/4145uie

"A toddler in Gaza released from Israel custody has been returned to his family with suspected torture wounds" Israel tortured a 21 month old Palestinian child.

So proud of my boys The Twilight Sad on their release day ❤️✊🏼🙌🏼

Many vital links in the Glasgow arts scene - including Project Ability, a haven for people with learning difficulties and mental health challenges - are affected by this threatened eviction. Sign the petition and, if you’re in Glasgow, contact your councillor.

Reform appear to have found someone even more loathsome than Farage to represent them in Scotland. Quite the feat. www.thenational.scot/politics/259...

You ought to buy this

Oh. Stage an assassination attempt, you say? Interesting.

In The Guardian today I spoke to The Twilight Sad about loss, becoming a father, and how their own mental health struggles led to the band cancelling a tour with The Cure. www.theguardian.com/music/2026/m...
