New profile picture as I seem to have mislaid the one from Tw*tter. I’m the one on the left…

Don’t suck, don’t die.
Working in the Edinburgh office today, and worked out how to get onto the balcony :-)

The calm after the (fire)storm of You Made Me Realise.

There's a way I feel right now
Wish you'd help me, don't know how…

Today I has mostly been eating, spare Xmas cake mix.

(And am now feeling a bit queasy)

Everyone’s gone to bed, so it’s time to plug in some headphones and give this a first listen.

Can't imagine there've been too many past games where a player scoring from his own half of the pitch wasn't even one of the best two goals of the night.

Selections made for this month’s open decks session in Kirkcaldy on Sunday.

Quite pleased with these choices, looking forward to seeing what people make of them.

It’s that time of the year when any newly purchased tickets for gigs are for after Xmas, but luckily I still have four belters left for 2025.

I remember all the good times
Like you say I’m bound to do.
Do you think it all just vanishes…?

Good night out watching Fife Flyers, despite them going down 4-1 to Nottingham Panthers, including playing without a keeper for a while as they went into the last few minutes 3-1 down.

Suspect I might be a jinx as they’ve lost each of the three games I’ve been there for over the last 18 months!

OK, I am weak and have already succumbed to the lure of a Festive Sandwich. Don’t judge me.

My local B&M started getting these a couple of weeks ago. Am stockpiling just in case they vanish :-)

Lande on stage at the Edinburgh Indiepop All-Dayer tonight.

Oh wow, that was something I never thought I’d ever get to see.

Excuse the dodgy photo, but over on the right in the purple top is Janie from The Vultures, joining one-off (?) supergroup Maison D’Etre for a cracking version her lost Eighties Indiepop classic GOOD THING.

Heading out into the wind-fuelled chaos on the railways for what might well be the Gig Of The Year.

(We’ll gloss over the fact that I also thought for quite a while it was called “I Second That In Motion”, I can still visualise that scrawled on the index of the C90 I used to tape it off the Top 40 show!)

The Cure are always amazing live, but that support line up should make this extra special.

To be fair, they do always get great support bands, last time I saw them (in Glasgow) they had The Twilight Sad, The Joy Formidable and Mogwai again.

Just 326 days to wait then…

Looks like we’re using the front door for the next few hours then…
