Music mainly, 80s to present day, often Scottish. 🏴 And the MP Cats.
This looks like Kessler and Banks to me.
I have no recollection of taking these but perhaps there's a good reason for that!

Remember when gig photos looked like this? I think this*might* be Interpol at the Liquid Room in August 2001.

#10 Inside No 9: Stage/Fright - Edinburgh Playhouse (26 November)
Great fun seeing Stage/Fright for the second time.
Highly recommended even if you haven't seen any of the show.

Glasgow was really good but the band show was on a totally different level.
Sad to think it's not impossible that I may not see Jason and Jon play with Bob again and hear so many of these great songs from the last decade or so with a band behind them.

That was sensational. And to think the day before tickets went on sale, I briefly considered not bothering!
Jason and Jon have set a very high bar for Sugar to reach.

Not the best time to start reading this for different reasons but barely managed more than 150 pages in over a month.
Had go back to the library but not sure I'll ever summon up the energy to try again in future.

#50 Bob Mould/Che Arthur - Oran Mor, Glasgow (18 November)
Fitting way to mark the half century of gigs this year. Excellent Bob show in Glasgow although delay in getting through meant I barely saw any of support Che Arthur.
All going to plan, #51 should also be Bob... in Berlin.

Bob Mould having fun at Oran Mor this evening despite some cuntish behaviour during Too Far Down from people celebrating a goal. There's a time and a place for that.

Well that was nightmare drive to get along the M8- nearly 90 mins to get from the M9 junction to Oran Mor but now waiting for Bob .
WTF is on in Glasgow tonight? 😂
On a related note, I see Che Adams has been dropped to allow him to support.

Cool. The List is only published in Scotland but it's not terribly obscure.
Same trawl turned up a decent review of The Curse from Select ...

Don't imagine my picks for #5debutalbums1014 will make much impact.
This one by four ex-Petrols really should have made a splash but somehow fell between the cracks.
It's still worthy of investigation although only through Bandcamp.
