Early bird tickets snapped up in seconds. Never fear standard tickets will be rleasxed soon - fingers on those keys in anticipation.

That's right... my new single is released next week! A small preview below...

Could you imagine having a digital ID card and Farage in charge? What other information might this card hold in the future? Sexuality? Identity? Political persuasion? Finance? Religion? Income? Social media history? Employment history? One can only wonder. petition.parliament.uk/petitions/73...

A rather nice print.

This Bluebells photo captures my own recolletion of 80s winters in Glasgow - they were bloody cold. Just look at Bobby. A group of five men internally screaming 'take the photo'.

Some days are good days. This just arrived...

I swore I wouldn't. I was categorical. No more gigs. Then, Gene announced a Glasgow date. Needless to say tickets were purchased. Will we go? Only time will tell? At least this way, we have the option. #gene

I've done very well to keep my money in my pocket this week. So many enticing releases but I resisted, some of them. ;-)

It is done. For a while I thought it’d never start. When it eventually did start, the days ahead felt like an endurance test, an eternity smeared in treacle. A month later, it feels as though it’s passed in a cartoon flash. The next stage begins…

Highly regarded at the time. Highly regarded now. Spacehopper, if it was anything, was a live band. If you ever saw them live you'll know exactly what I mean. Spacehopper - Skin www.youtube.com/watch?v=KPGH...

Radiation Cystitis. A new song title? Perhaps, a band title? It certainly has a ring to it, if not a sting. Arándanos rojos to the rescue. But who's...?

Decision made. No more purchasing gig tickets (rarely attending). And so... no more attending gigs. It had to be done. I guess the positive thing from this is that my last gig was (in more ways than one) Heavenly. @skepwax.bsky.social

Free competition. Two copies up for grabs from the generous The New Vinyl Villain. thenewvinylvillain.com/2025/06/17/b...

A relative newcomer but it reads like a classic. Today is its opportunity to accompany me. Riot. Twee. Definitely me. It enjoys an outing does this one. #tweenation @skepwax.bsky.social #heavenlyindie

The rot is here. A right wing party that peddles hatred. A right wing party that cut winter fuel payments. Nothing, it seems, is ever learned. Right wing Scotland, I don't recognise you.

Who did this? 😂

I pre-ordered this in May 2024. It arrived without ceremony in May 2025.

Who's watching who? And why?

I can confirm @heyhumdrum.bsky.social makes the Med. sparkle and shimmer just a little bit more. Joy!

A curious early morning shadow I hadn't noticed.

Reform huge gains are not to be underestimated but that's a very telling little strip.

The language used at the Supreme Court ruling yesterday was little more than a willful act of degradation… “trans people... are to be considered their ‘acquired’ gender”. If anyone can clarify how one ‘acquires’ oneself - please do let me know. #transrights #equalrights #brokenfeminism

Barely opened my eyes today and already in love with the new lightheaded youtu.be/yX0nEytAIpA?...

More RSD fuming. Why? RSD claims “(RSD) UK is a day dedicated to celebrating independent record stores & the culture of vinyl records”. Yet, it’s little more than a car boot of highly priced re-issues by mainstream artists? Corporate in nature with its Record ‘Store’ (not Shop) Day. #rsd2025 #rsd

I haven't seen this before.

A New International will be playing the Traverse Theatre, Edinburgh, Saturday 26th April @ 8.30pm. Tickets: www.traverse.co.uk/.../soundhou.... If you’re on the lookout for a remarkable night out listening to superb music, then look no further. #traversetheatre #anewinternational #edinburgh

As a Coloradan, I felt badly Trump's feelings were hurt by the #TrumpPortrait hung in our state capital. So I fixed it so it clear who is really running the country right now. Hope he likes it!

We’ve asked every year since the start, but it wasn't until now that the time has been right. ✨ What’s that old saying? Good things come to those who wait. 😌 We can’t overstate how special this is for us! 🍾 Please note @thepastels.bsky.social request no filming of their performance. 🙏🏽✌🏼
