Well it turns out that 40 years ago today I was at Aberdeen Capitol to see The Cult. What an unforgettable gig that was. Unreal.

Another retro Dons memorabilia press cutting from our old scrapbooks for you. Today is King Joey Harper in an iconic Admiral yellow away strip having just broken the Dons goalscoring record.

Another from my Dons #pinbadges archive is this nice looking retro club crest.

First in a new series of retro Dons memorabilia gathered from old scrapbooks of mine and my brothers. Here is ‘battle of the hotshots’ featuring King Joey Harper and Billy Pirie of Dundee.

If you see this, post an album cover with a motor vehicle on it

Today from my Dons #pinbadges archive is another particular favourite of mine. Enjoy ✊

Another from my collection of #pinbadges today featuring The Zones - Time, Parking, Erogenous. Don’t have any of their records, but got these promo badges from my old man’s pal who had a record shop

Just watching the latest episode of Traitors. Connor Baron is number 8 and Bojan Miovski is on the bench 😎

Well, the fitba might be finished but my wee hearty is still beating like a bastard train. I need something to calm me down so #nowplaying is Stiff Little Fingers with ‘Inflammable Material’……nice and gentle 😎

Concert Archives just sent me a reminder that 4 years ago tonight I was at Aberdeen Music Hall to see Public Service Broadcasting. What a great live band they are.

Concert Archives just sent me a reminder that 14 years ago tonight I was at O2 ABC Glasgow to finally see the utterly brilliant Magazine live in concert. It was fantastic.

Today’s little beauty from my Dons #pinbadges archive is a particular favourite of mine, depicting an iconic Admiral strip from the 70’s. Beautiful.

Only one or two of my teenage collection of #pinbadges left to post and this one is a belter - The Jam and ‘Going Underground’. Nice 💣😎

Another from my Dons #pinbadges archive is ‘The Football Association Cup’. Highly unlikely we ever won this particular trophy, but it’s a nice badge anyway.

Here’s another album that, inexplicably, I never bought when it came out. Picked up a good copy for the princely sum of £5 yesterday so #nowplaying is Heaven 17 with ‘The Luxury Gap’. Instant time travel right back to the 80’s.

Today from my teenage collection of #pinbadges is this one featuring the CND/peace logo. I seem to have been a bit more ‘political’ in my youth than I actually remember. ✌️☮️

Today’s effort from my Dons #pinbadges archive is this rather uninspiring one. They all need loving I suppose.

Another from my teenage collection of #pinbadges is this one featuring The Jam - ‘Girl on the phone’ I assume….

Not played this for many many years (due to it originally being my brother’s) so, inspired by a brief conversation on here with
@punkandnewwave.bsky.social, #nowplaying is ‘David Live’ by the incomparable David Bowie, of course. It’s just as I remember it….glorious.

Another one from my Dons #pinbadges archive is this lovely gold leaf crown style with retro crest. Nice 👌

Just had a reminder from Concert Archives that 43 years ago today I was at Aberdeen Capitol to see Duran Duran (!!!). It was actually a decent gig (and I was trying to impress a member of the opposite genital group☺️).

These will be of no surprise to you after I posted the whole collection the other day, but today from my teenage collection of #pinbadges is another featuring Elvis Costello.

These won’t come as a surprise to you anymore seeing as I posted the whole collection the other day, but I’ll post them anyway. Today from my collection of Dons #pinbadges is this fairly average rosette style one.

Last night I was at Aberdeen Music Hall to see the mighty Stranglers again. Absolutely brilliant. I think they enjoyed it as much as we did. Always a pleasure, never a chore. Support from Buzzcocks. Their sound wasn’t the best, TBH.
