I'm really sad to hear that Keith McIvor has departed this world
I knew him back in the late 80s and went to his club nights in Panama Jax and 46 West George St whenever I could afford to go which, sadly, wasn't often enough

Not a new band, but new to me as of an hour ago...
Oh My God, It's The Church's name made me want to see if they could live up to having such a daft name and, yes, they most certainly can:

I'm a bit late in paying tribute to #WorldDominationEnterprises' Keith Dobson, who died a few days ago
#WDE were a tremendous band. I bought everything they did
I got to see them live when they played Rooftops in Glasgow:

It's been a good day, post-wise, with two new albums arriving, both on red vinyl:
#MarkStewart's (first, hopefully not last) posthumous LP, "The Fateful Symmetry" and #LeadIntoGold's "Knife The Ally"
I prefer the solid red of Mark's album and the insert has a decent statement on it while...

Farewell Glen Michael...
Real name, Cecil Buckland, the Devon-born entertainer moved to Scotland in the early 1950s for a six-week run with Scottish comedian Jack Milroy.

I'm pretty devastated to hear that Nitzer Ebb singer, Douglas J McCarthy died yesterday at just 58
Here's what I consider the song that best shows off his awesome vocal talent, Come Alive live at Paradiso two Januaries ago - I'm sorry my hand obscured the mic while filming

Nice!
On a day off, due to having too much flexi-time, the new The Young Gods album has arrived, a week before it's official release date
Also, I bagged a couple of tickets to see Cabaret Voltaire at SWG3

Remembering the inspirational Mark Stewart (10 August 1960 – 21 April 2023).
Mark Stewart's first posthumous album, The Fateful Symmetry, is released on the 11th of July
I say 'first' because there must be SO much music in the @onusound.bsky.social vaults that I *hope* it won't be the last we'll hear of Mark

I got a copy of @ministryband.bsky.social's new album, the appallingly-titled "The Squirrely Years Revisited" just before I flew to Rome, so I've only heard it from row 9 of a Jet2 plane (right next to the front of the engines)
That being said, I think it's mostly good althought there was no need..

Seeing Laibach's Alamut live in Frankfurt in 2023 was astonishingly good and certainly made up for having to spend about 30 hours in Krankenfurt - what an unimpressive and rather scary city that is!

While I'm disappointed to see that The Young Gods are not playing in Glasgow for this tour, Leeds is pretty much locked-in (tickets on sale tomorrow, 11am) and I'll definitely try to see them in Europe - maybe twice - Utrecht & Brussels or Bern & Basel or Olomouc & Prague... so many options!

Huh, I had no idea that the Red Guitars had re-recorded their tremendous 1983 single, Good Technology, a couple of years ago
I only found out because I follow the excellent blog "everybody's number one to someone" and if you're as old as I am, I suggest you do, too

Happy 10th birthday to my car.
It's the only car I've ever bought new and, with only 32,300 miles on the clock, it's still going strong.
Here's to another 10 years or, at least, until petrol becomes unfeasibly expensive

Human Traffic is on the BBC iPlayer
It's such a good film with, possibly, the best soundtrack
Also, the scenes where Nina quits her job were shot in the UCI cinema in Cardiff
Sorta weird, because she seems to work in a burger place but the popcorn and Chippendips give me flashbacks to my time...

Although I never visited the store while it was the home of Wax Trax, I probably would never have visited Chicago if it hadn't have been for Jim & Danny setting up shop there when they moved from Detroit
That label & On-U Sound changed my musical taste more than any other
