Tape out now.

Crackle. Organ hum. Rough beats & dub daze.
The bass blown-out and up front.
Everything echoes or covered in fuzz.
Nothing is clear.

One fragment of cut-up text remains... "artists bury night, wreck ears"

Yeah, the costs are ridiculous from the UK; I sent one to Australia recently and it cost as much as the tape to post it...

More old shit...

I kept this front page cos Beastie Boys but I quite like the other headline about unemployment figures, since it was Thatcher Day yesterday.

plus 'Love and the lonely golf wives'...

A yellow concert ticket, text says 'Beastie Boys at Barrowland, Glasgow on Friday, 29th May, 1987, Ticket £5.50'

A scottish newspaper front page, dated the day before the ticket, highlighting the reluctance of scottish hotels to let the Beastie Boys stay.'

Other headlines refer to unemployment figures (346,000 in Scotland) and 'Love and the lonely golf wives'

I’m gearing up for the Glasgow Print Fair at @thepyramidg38ds.bsky.social on the 25th October. I’ll have this Brutal Glasgow print available, with some concrete inspired totes, tea towels and prints. It’s the print event of the year!

Trying not to become obsessed over this massive stash of old family photos my mum gave me earlier today - we went thru them for 3 hours and she knew every person, location, how she was feeling at the time etc

These really old ones fairly creeped out my nephew...

One of my own tracks came on in the car earlier & I enjoyed it like it wasn't mine 😁

I didn't play bass or guitar on it so its only partly mine anyway, & the guitar part Gavin Laird plays in the break is very beautiful so I recommend it

Its been a year since I found a teenage diary - a entry from this week in 1988; I like this one cos it has some nice details and it identifies the main reason I loved going to gigs when I was a kid - to meet people.

but I also thought Miles Hunt was cool? wow...

the past is another planet.

Diary entry, 7th October, 1988 "Met Emma at 8.30 to go to the Wonder Stuff gig at the QM. We took the tube to Hillhead & met Mo, Mo, Kev <deleted> & General in the queue, so we jumped in with them. The Wonder Stuff were shit hot. The singer's a cool bastard. We met lots of people there, I met Bryan <deleted>! Arsehole. We took a taxi to George Square and got a bus to E.K. Got home in time to see 'The Monkees' on TV (4am). Went to sleep about 5.30am after some tea & naughties.

I've absorbed british culture for decades and no matter how many times 'georgian', 'edwardian', 'regency' etc are mentioned in terms of timescale I have no idea when any of those times are cos I hate royals so much...

yes, I am watching Grand Designs.
