Hullo, we're Yoko Pwno, the lunatic fringe of Edinburgh trad music, and a solid answer to the question 'Which Scottish folk band has the most misleading name'.
We do weird things to Scottish music.

Trying to push back against the darkness with some good music. I updated my Forward Folk mix with a few new tracks by Antonis Antoniou, Milkweed, @yokopwno.bsky.social, Fleuves, and OMIRI. Links to support these artists directly are in the comments below.

Was listening to music on a portable speaker and thought to myself “why does this sound so compressed and muffled?!” First instinct was to look up the artist/song and be judgmental - then I looked over to see my cat was parked fully on top of the damn speaker 💀💀

... Unless you grew up in Dundee, where there was a steady supply of ZX Spectrums that had failed quality control at the local factory and were available for £50 in the Courier classifieds.
If you got a computer for Xmas 40 years ago, this is what it cost your parents in today's money:
C64: £636
C16: £445
Plus/4: £955
SX64: £2,546
BBC: £1,273
Electron: £636
QL: £1,273
Spectrum: £413
Atari 800XL: £538
Man, some of these were a monumental waste of cash!

This book was borrowed the same year that Return of the Jedi was released.
It's been missing longer than Luke Skywalker was hiding on that island in Ireland.
