I don't go to loads gigs and I don't often have to make use of the awful "presale" mechanism to get tickets for those that I do attend. This week, I've had the stressful job of acquiring tickets to see Super Furry Animals and The Last Dinner Party at the Barras. With success, thankfully.

Looking down a bustling Buchanan St from the top of the Royal Concert Hall steps on Friday evening. You can see all the way to Whitelee Wind Farm 10 miles away.

Looks like tickets for Cardiacs at St Luke's, Glasgow were all snapped up on pre-sale. None available when the regular sale started this morning, dammit.

Off to Ibrox tonight to watch Rangers, for the first time in ages. Maybe I'll be the lucky charm that we need.
