Not only have I seen a Halloween decorated house today , but now some complete and utter J Arthur is letting off fireworks

Cut loose… never seen this footage before. Post Council and pre-PW Movement. Name-checking & comparing his sound to Living Colour - Lenny Kravitz - De La Soul - PM Dawn… wow. Caught a real transitional moment this. m.youtube.com/watch?v=79qC...

Paging @northernsky67.bsky.social @kennybrown131.bsky.social Matt Deighton and dr bob , voodoo rooms , Monday 15th December 👍

Big elderflower bush / vine thing growing over my back wall from the nursery school , quite nice , noticed at weekend it was heaving with wasps , maybe a nest but also loads of butterfly’s , so I leave it to naturally go or get the council in ?

Sit Down by James. Dogshit. The moment indie died. I’d Like to Teach the World to Sing for gap year bastards.

Just heard @brookecombe.bsky.social cover of teardrops on solar radio , which I have to say is a better 👌

I did this… it was hugely helpful in researching my family connections to the Covenanters and the story of the Solway Martyrs… which has ended up taking me here. www.dalkeithcountrypark.co.uk/event/photod...

Daughter #1 returns to uni tomorrow , praise the lord , been a rollercoaster and very expensive summer

Finally got round to doing season 4 of the bear this weekend , the cast and acting are just magnificent , Jamie Lee Curtis , wow , and a decent soundtrack too 👌

Out taking daughter #2 to her 10am hairdressers , daughter #1 off to a rave later texts “ is there vodka in the house , can you get me some ?” Doesn’t see the issue with this request 🤷‍♂️

@harrymcnally.bsky.social you familiar with the brand uskees mate ? Great gear and their corduroy over shirts have just landed for the winter , worth a look 👌

One of the things that has kept me very busy the last few weeks has been installing The Killing Time, my photo project on Galloway and my family connections to the Covenanters, at Dalkeith Palace for PHOTO Dalkeith. It’s an incredible venue to show in and the exhibition is great. Go see it, please!

Decent bit of graft today and now on the rattler to meet mates with a raging drouth , always enjoy a beer more when I’ve earned it

The Afroboogie guys don't take themselves too seriously 😬. Just as well I don't either 😅 But it's a great line up of DJs Boney, Rab, Bob Jeffries, Jamie McShane (Zaimie) and big Al Kent. December 28 More details to follow

Imagine being the kind of idiot who signs up to the free 7 day trial of a tv channel , with no intention of ever subscribing and choosing the basic with ads option , I mean who would do that. 😳

The lonely walk home from the train station last night craving a sausage supper avec le sauce “broon” but acutely aware the chippy is ahem cash only ,then the realisation the boys had squared me up earlier for the tickets I bought , yass 😂

Nothing quite like HMRC to tell you you’ve underpaid tax on money you’ve not earned yet 🤔

And that new venue at calton hill looks stunning , what a view 👌

The brand new heavies at st James quarter Edinburgh last night , doubt there’s a better back drop for a gig anywhere

Cars man , nothing but trouble , jump in tonight stone dead , zero power , nowt , possibly the battery , remember the days a battery was about 30 quid , oh no , those days are long gone 😡

Ahh. So sad. RIP 😢 www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

What is it with the youth , started a new job and the young boy beside me , starts at 10am and has slept in and strolled in late everyday this week , slower than a week in the jail and spends his day chugging cans of monster 🤷‍♂️

Was hoping to catch a last minute oasis ticket for me and the wee one but alas not one of the chosen few to receive a code , good to read this morning the touts have managed though. 🤷‍♂️

Simple Minds released Love Song on this day in 1981

I bloody love Tom Hollander, and reading this has just confirmed why. And if you haven’t watched his turn as a flamboyant gay schmoozer in season 2 of The White Lotus then you’ve missed a wonderful treat

Proper divebombed by a couple of seagulls out with the dogs this morning , in a housing estate no coast for miles bstrds did a couple of loops , buttocks were tightly clenched I’ll tell you

Feeling old? This is thirty next February….

Jeezo , just back from Glasgow’s trendy west end , absolutely bouncing , everywhere packed and great atmosphere , me I was fairly grumpy can’t be arsed having to shout at everyone to be heard 😂

Few things as frustrating as waiting on a package from Evri 😡

Out locally to meet a mate for curry last night , old school boozer , 2 pints £7.70 !!

Got a family 21st tonight in a city centre bar , absolute faff to get there by public transport so having to drive and pray for an early dart , zero interest sadly 🙈

This is a really really lovely album. There’s a Bandcamp listening party on Friday at 5pm, so likely will tune in for that. One to look out for. ‘Gadabout Season’ (2025), Brandee Younger

A quiet moment of reflection whilst the ladies get ready upstairs , I’m better out the road 😂

New Iso 45 is coming soon if any ones arsed? I've deleted my usual "Coming soon" artwork that I post, because it's absolutely pointless doing it on here anymore. Won't be doing the usual tracklist artwork either before I upload the mix. I'll just be posting the mix link

Proud owner of 4 collaborations now , will be rocking the 2 tone , Howard panter on holiday this week , superb quality , on the list to get to the shop 👌

Crete , 7pm , 31 degrees , scorchio for the balcony beers

@petepaphides.bsky.social on holiday and catching up on your PW article in Uncut , superb writing , the Rick buckler segment is so poignant , spoke to an old friend for the first time in years at the weekend , lifes too short and fragile , thanks ❤️

Going on holiday tomorrow and cannot wait , just need to get over the packing stress and the 3 women in the house arguing over whose got room in their cases for another pair of shoes 🙈

Catching up with @loylecarner.bsky.social at Glastonbury , absolutely superb 👏👏

I have cut my bstrd grass everyday for the last week in preparation for this day full of house guests and I’ve now had to run out and empty the gazebo roof before it collapses , biblical rain 😩

Book recommendations for holidays - music , autobiography’s ? Cheers 👍

How can there be 6 left handed gloves in my garage 🤷‍♂️

Spent about 2 hours today trying to work out how to complete a pdf form on an a iPad , nowhere Does it say click on esign 🤷‍♂️

Watching highlights of @TRNSMTfest last night and up pops the bold @Mr_StevePilgrim on the kit for @JamieWebster94 !! Looked like he was having a blast if a tad warm 👏👏

Well today has been emotional , last working day after 34yrs of blood , sweat and the occasional tears doing a job I’ve genuinely loved and put my heart and soul into ,it’s been a pleasure and privilege , but time for the family now and new challenges 🫡❤️

The good lady wants the big light putting back up in the living room after a spot of plastering , I’ve got a niggling feeling I’ve tipped it 😬

Got a new hat for the holidays , XL a tad big , L a tad tight , cursed with a large scone 😬
