Some music, some football.
Huns everywhere calling for McTominay to be sent off for a high boot.

Happy 84th birthday to Arthur Garfunkel.

Voice of angel. His benefit gig with Paul Simon in 1980 still remains one of the greatest concerts of all time.

They are all off their heads. Not a single sensible voice on that cesspit trying to inject anything like a reasonable view.

And it’s fucking great 😂

The Love Symbol album by Prince was released this day in 1992.

It started his descent into more and more extreme activities when he changed his name to an unpronouncable squiggle.

At this point, the music quality was still high though - as evidenced by the second single, My Name Is Prince.

Thom Yorke from Radiohead is 57 today. An extraordinary singer.

This live acoustic version of (Nice Dream) from The Bends is just incredible.

Mercury Rev released the brilliant Deserter's Songs album on this day in 1998.

They were a bit bonkers.

Happy 58th birthday to Suede frontman Brett Anderson.

They've written some cracking tunes over the years and here's a live 1993 Brit performance of Animal Nitrate - when Brett didn't know if he wanted to be Morrissey or Florence Welch.

Happy birthday to Bruce Springsteen. Consistently great over many decades.

Here's the "intimate" video for the single Brilliant Disguise.

Happy birthday to Joanne Catherall from The Human League.

Their biggest selling single, & 1981 Christmas number 1, Don't You Want Me has been over-played but is still a classic 80s pop song.

What was she waiting on at the start of the video? What was the man picking her up after? We need to know.

Dee Dee Ramone was born on this day in 1951.

Here's Sheena is a Punk Rocker. They may have been miming.

Here's a great live performance of Medicine Bow from 2007.

Marc Bolan was killed in a car accident on this day in 1977.

A great talent who cared very little for the nuances of lip-synching - as this performance of Mambo Sun demonstrates.

The album Something Else by The Kinks was released on this day in 1967. It included the timeless Waterloo Sunset.

Magical.

It's Otis Redding's birthday today. One of the greatest musical talents that ever lived.

Here's a live performance of My Lover's Prayer. Outstanding.

Flowers and Football Tops from Glasvegas.

Promising start, great first album, patchy output since.

Mystery solved!

I thought I’d ask ChatGPT about Celtic’s Europa League squad and even that is fucking perplexed by what we’ve done.

Suede's Coming Up album was released on this day in 1996. A tremendous record with some of their best pop tunes.

Here's the video for Filmstar, the fifth and final single released from it.
