…and since Mark Arm was standing in for Chris Bailey in this version of The Saints I caught up with this today and it’s a great listen. Keith certainly steered my taste for noisier things back when I was buying NME (and MM!) religiously each week!

Much last-minute indecision choosing which show to go to yesterday evening but The Saints 73-78 won out and then I won out by getting to experience it. Fabulous stuff!

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

Another surprise find from @monorailmusic.bsky.social thanks to their regular Mississippi Records restocks. Watch out for those friendly Beatles-eyes!

The @monorailmusic.bsky.social Film Club years were fun and always threw up interesting combinations. The Servant screening was a busy one from what remember!

More Maher Shalal Hash Baz time machine moves... GSA, Glasgow 2003. Fab stuff. torikudo.bandcamp.com/album/the-gl...

Maher Shalal Hash Baz and crew from Careless Talk Costs Lives magazine back in June 2002.

Watching this is like a balm to everything that’s going on youtu.be/JZfwLolJBVc?...

Off to listen to this RPM episode after doing my homework and watching the Louder Than You Think doc. I’m not sure how it passed me by but it’s fantastic and really worth a watch!

More music… Art Blakey & The Jazz Messengers ‘A Night In Tunisia’, the latest from Elucid, ML Buch’s debut ‘Skinned’ and the Madvillainy demos. A pretty good evening in if you ask me…

Manchester vinyl purchases… new ones from Jennifer Castle, The Softies (finally got around to getting this!) and The Belair Lip Bombs. Old one from John Fahey, a cracking compilation by all accounts!

Repost with a cool song that's under two minutes youtu.be/Y94qgVZAgW0?...

Thursday!

Of course my first post here was going to be a bunch of records… one step at a time!

Latest @monorailmusic.bsky.social buys - Lewsberg, Dolly Mixture, The Durutti Column and Margo Cilker. This should get me through the working week!
