Starting Saturday listening to the Mary Column album and squaring up the living room. Added bonus of getting to double check which tracks I can't play on the radio. Glad I didn't accidentally play FUA without listening first.

Lovely to see this getting a re-issue and issued as part of Monorail's Glasgow School series. Also chuffed that the EP I played on with the band is included on the bonus disc. An aural treat.
The Glasgow School No.07

Tacoma Radar - No One Waved Goodbye

Monorail exclusive Sea Blue 2LP plus mix CD, badge and print. Magical, unrepeatable, lost to time - somehow found. Edition of 300.

Did a daft wee music video for work, come and laugh at my singing.
We've made a wee music video for Summer Reading - with apologies to John Travolta. Get yourself along to our @magpieseyegovan.bsky.social and @magpiesnestgovan.bsky.social for some serious book bargains for your summer holiday reading.

I got an honourable mention in this. The whole thing is great and worth a read if you could do with a laugh and being reminded of some of the spectacular daftness of Scottish football.

The record player is in the living room, where the television tends to be on all the time, frequently playing wean picked YouTube Minecraft or FC25 videos ad Infinitum, but today, with a free hour, I'm finally sitting listening to the Vashti Bunyan LP procured in @monorailmusic.bsky.social in March

We had a very special visitor last week when Kingsley came in to volunteer with us and try out some of the different roles there are for volunteers here. Watch our wee video and check out their antics.

Special thanks to @partickthistle.bsky.social and to David Shrigley

Have a black tie event tonight and the tuxedo I bought for the occasion is currently in Evri's Glasgow depot. Hoping it makes it out this afternoon or I'll be in all the wrong gear later.

Definitely a blue sky for today's Airdrie vs @partickthistle.bsky.social match. Have moved into the shade of the back of the stand after fearing for a massively burnt napper in the front row. #Roasters

Get the Jags followed on here.
We are listening however we only have so much resource to go around! If the audience grows - say up to 1,000 - putting resource into posting on @partickthistle.bsky.social is a stronger argument.

Half the household is on turkey chasni. I'm on Linda McCartney Shredded Hoisin Duck Chasni. The mini wean is on the classic Boxing Day dish of pigs in blankets with sweetcorn and alphabites.
