New profile picture as I seem to have mislaid the one from Tw*tter. I’m the one on the left…

Don’t suck, don’t die.
Cheers!

Can't imagine there've been too many past games where a player scoring from his own half of the pitch wasn't even one of the best two goals of the night.

Selections made for this month’s open decks session in Kirkcaldy on Sunday.

Quite pleased with these choices, looking forward to seeing what people make of them.

It’s that time of the year when any newly purchased tickets for gigs are for after Xmas, but luckily I still have four belters left for 2025.

Like you say I’m bound to do.

Good night out watching Fife Flyers, despite them going down 4-1 to Nottingham Panthers, including playing without a keeper for a while as they went into the last few minutes 3-1 down.

Suspect I might be a jinx as they’ve lost each of the three games I’ve been there for over the last 18 months!

OK, I am weak and have already succumbed to the lure of a Festive Sandwich. Don’t judge me.

My local B&M started getting these a couple of weeks ago. Am stockpiling just in case they vanish :-)

Lande on stage at the Edinburgh Indiepop All-Dayer tonight.

Oh wow, that was something I never thought I’d ever get to see.

Excuse the dodgy photo, but over on the right in the purple top is Janie from The Vultures, joining one-off (?) supergroup Maison D’Etre for a cracking version her lost Eighties Indiepop classic GOOD THING.

Heading out into the wind-fuelled chaos on the railways for what might well be the Gig Of The Year.

(We’ll gloss over the fact that I also thought for quite a while it was called “I Second That In Motion”, I can still visualise that scrawled on the index of the C90 I used to tape it off the Top 40 show!)

The Cure are always amazing live, but that support line up should make this extra special.

To be fair, they do always get great support bands, last time I saw them (in Glasgow) they had The Twilight Sad, The Joy Formidable and Mogwai again.

Just 326 days to wait then…

Looks like we’re using the front door for the next few hours then…

It’s going to one of those days then is it?

New TV (replacing the one that packed up during the week) arrived. Unwrapped it to find that someone appears to have jumped on the screen while in transit.

Nearly time to unleash this selection of scratchy indiepop from The Wolfhounds, The Turncoats, Bog Shed, Cud, A Witness, The Chesterf!elds, New Fast Automatic Daffodils and Stitched-Back Foot Airman on the unsuspecting folk of Kirkcaldy for this month’s #vinylagogo open decks session.

Good day out today watching the Seals at Scalpsie Bay on the Isle of Bute.

The next #vinylagogo is still a few weeks away, but it’s also the day I get back from a couple of weeks in Argyll, so thinking ahead today to pick out a few choice cuts of electro/industrial noise with which to terrorise/titillate the good folk of Kirkcaldy.

Popped into the record/CD fair in the local shopping centre over lunch.

I’ve got a lot of the stuff on here already, but thought it was worth a few quid for the new tracks & the original versions of some of the Soul Mining singles.

Pass the wine.

Fuck the government.

I love you.

The Burning Hell doing their Baudrillard-meets-Public Enemy thing at Sneaky Pete’s tonight.
