Monday Is 1981 Day – New Weekly Theme: First up – In The Garden: Eurythmics

Monday Is 1981 Day – New Weekly Theme: First up – In The Garden: Eurythmics

Welcome to what will be known as “1981-Day Monday.” A theme that may run all summer long. We’ll see where it goes after that.  The premise? Well, it’ll be for me to write about an album from 1981 that I have either never listened to at all, or have not heard for a very long…

X Doesn’t Always Mark The Spot…

X Doesn’t Always Mark The Spot…

Even to this day, I wish I was older. Although I am already what I would have considered in my youth as “well old.” On the verge of being exactly in my mid-50s, I sometimes lament at being in Gen X. I have always felt I kind of straddle two worlds, being born in 1970…

Bucket List Gig – 50 Years In The Waiting

Bucket List Gig – 50 Years In The Waiting

Last week I had seen that Suzi Quatro would be out on the road touring in 2026. For the past few years I have really wanted to go and see her. She was my very first musical hero, back when I was a wee wean. She hasn’t been to Scotland for her past couple of…

A Spin Of Nostalgia

A Spin Of Nostalgia

I have vinyl listening sessions when the mood takes me. I usually listen to two or three albums in a session. For yesterday’s session I had the firm idea of listening to Hamish Hawk’s Heavy Elevator and from there I was going to see where the mood took me. Most likely a David Bowie album…

Please Stop Trying To Invalidate My Feelings! ‘Oh Jungleland’ Live And What It Means To Be A Fan

Please Stop Trying To Invalidate My Feelings! ‘Oh Jungleland’ Live And What It Means To Be A Fan

I can’t help how I feel. For the most part now I am staying quiet because as soon as a speak my mind and express how I feel I get all the crap retorts of akin to “I don’t hear what you hear,” “Just be lucky to get what you’re getting – they’re not getting…

Vinyl Revival – In My Room

Vinyl Revival – In My Room

Even though I have still been purchasing vinyl when finances have allowed, I haven’t listened to vinyl much at all over the past few years. We have one turntable in the house, a Rega Planar 3 that my Other Half bought in 1983, back in the days where there was no such thing as “designed…

Statham In The Studio With Someone Familiar

Statham In The Studio With Someone Familiar

I follow Paul Statham on social media as I like to keep up to date with his musical endeavours – particularly when it comes to the Dark Flowers project. Imagine my surprise to see him share these photos on his socials yesterday. He’d shared them with a blurb that stated he’d been in a recording…

Hamish Hawk (+ Amelia Coburn) – Digital, Newcastle 12/02/2025

Hamish Hawk (+ Amelia Coburn) – Digital, Newcastle 12/02/2025

My apologies for the delay with this review. It may be a little shorter than usual…perhaps not. We’ll see? I travelled down to Newcastle by train during the afternoon. The usual quickest route is firstly to go to Edinburgh on the express train from Queen Street and then on the LNER Azuma service to London….

Pleasantly Disturbed Is More Than A “Pleasant” Read!

Pleasantly Disturbed Is More Than A “Pleasant” Read!

I don’t want you to get the wrong impression from the book’s title. It’s not all about Simple Minds! Neither is it completely devoid of Simple Minds content. One check at the number of the times Jim Kerr is mentioned within its pages will attest to the liberal smattering Simple Minds appears throughout. The novel’s…

Field Music – Oran Mor, Glasgow – 02/02/2025

Field Music – Oran Mor, Glasgow – 02/02/2025

It’s a rarity for me to be going to a gig on a Sunday night, and much like buses – my Sunday night gigs have arrived in twos. Last night it was the much-anticipated Field Music at Oran Mor. I decided to head to the city to ride the subway in time before the last…
