Just arrived. Looking forward to giving this a listen...I know the original album all too well, & really looking forward to hearing the bonus tracks on the second disc.

Booked for Kraftwerk next May. Missed out on tickets last time round, so well pleased this morning.

That takes me back...read a fair bit of Spinrad back in the day, Bug Jack Barron, The Iron Dream, Agent of Chaos etc. Here's my copy of The Men in the Jungle, 1978 print.

Some new arrivals today...unfortunately the Jethro Tull @ Baloise hasn't arrived yet, but 4 discs worth here anyway to listen to this evening.

Arrived today. My tastes are clearly mellowing as I get older. Live material on discs 2 & 3 sounds great!

Yes album from 2021 - The Quest. I'm not well versed in Yes' recorded work over the last 20 years, but given that Amazon were knocking the limited edition deluxe art book+2CD+blu ray audio package out for just over a fiver in their Spring Deals it was worth taking a punt at that price.

Van Morrison tonight at the Concert Hall. 🎵

In Glasgow to see the legend that is John Cale. Front row, natch.

Another one for #TicketStubWed - Grant Hart at Mono, Glasgow in 2011. A blinder of a show that was.

Halfway through reading this. One of the best music book reads I've had in ages, more than a few laughs as Rick Astley looks back. Recommended.

Grateful Dead poster, which I bought in some Glasgow record shop or other in the late 70s. Must get round to framing this one of these days.
