Dear friends of the shop and IMO for 10 years straight, the best guitar band in Scotland.

As the city gets lost under the festivals invasion, it's good to see Edinburgh businesses like @voxboxmusic.bsky.social + The Last Word supporting Scottish acts with today's Summer Session from Faith Eliott + Jane Frances + Ian Humberstone 👏 Photo album > andycatlin.myportfolio.com/vox-box-summ...
I've been playing this album a lot. it's a beauty. Begins lively as hell then begins to tell a story. Complex and life affirming. Ian Humberstone has made an album if the year.

Edinburgh council have said that Oasis fans take up more room.
Everyone attending these August gigs needs to download a 'Sixpack in 30 days' app and get crunching to avoid there being a crush.

Saw this at Tesco Leith. Glad their defibrillator is free though I'm not sure how they'd ever be able to go about charging for it.
Rifle through the guys pockets for a credit card and clubcard while doing CPR?
Anyway, back wasn't broken. We had a great time and spent 7 hours in the park on Sunday riding the small and big coasters. Not too busy so short queues. Could do with a lick of paint in places but clean. We'd go back but looking at other options. Thorpe Park? Alton Towers?
I'm all for allowing folk to do dangerous things with informed choice.
Blackpool's The Big One should say "uneven track. Jolts your spine. Use at own risk".
It's a broken and dangerous thing and should be closed until warning put up or it is fixed.
Ok, rode on The Big One at Blackpool Pleasure Beach on Sunday. It's a scary height and descent. But fk me it will paralyse someone.
Rough on the turns and felt bashed about. Fair enough. But there were a few times the seat whacked upwards with force and had me worried about my spine.
I'm in Blackpool for rollercoastering with my 7 year old. Seen here contemplating the Big One after arriving at the hotel today. He wants to go upside down.
Ooft.
Tomorrow we ride.
Watching Andor. On to episode 6 and may be a bit dim but still nae sure what's going on. And a bit bored. Feels low budget like Doctor Who despite the visuals. #andor
The cantina band from Star Wars seems even weirder now we know from Andor that the bar could’ve just been playing normal techno
Love these! Thanks for taking them Andy!
How Saturday Goes: braw time at @voxboxmusic.bsky.social Record Store Day event with L, David Keenan, @jamesyorkston.bsky.social + Vashti Bunyan, Sarah / Shaun, Bee Asha & Jill Lorean.

Nice Scottish RSD event summary by the fine folks at The Skinny. Ours is the loveliest event in the world of course. Support your local record shop.
Every nineties band that reforms now has one member who looks like a wizard
Now playing. The Proclaimers: This is the Story. What a unique and beautuful album!
Here is a link to our Record Store Day event on Sat 12th April. It's all about the people that make the records. We have 11 over the day.

There aren't many artists that have plugged McDonalds recently.
I popped in with child this weekend.
The Stormzy menu was really pretty shit and I hope his bowels are ok.
I kept a Stormzy tray liner as a memento.
He's a lovely guy by all accounts.
But maybe hasn't heard the Bill Hicks routine.
There aren't many artists that plug McDonalds.
The SMIA is really important but struggles with visibility outside of those involved in Scottish music.
I may well apply for this.
I'm sure they don't need another old white man but I think I've a few insights and many plans.
Any glaring issues needing addressed?

McDonalds & Stormzy. Edinburgh has spoken.
Many years ago a man came in looking for a song. He was already pissed after attending the pub after attending his mother's funeral.
I didn't have the song. But we found it online and we played it again and again. It was a song that Roberta Flack had made her own.
For Record Store Day this year we will have 12 artists -from brand new to very experienced. All incredible.
We're at St Vincent's Chapel. Shop will open at 8am. Live music from 11-1730.
Possibly more music after we get our supper.
More deets by the end of the week.

Some interesting singles. Some only for the song label or the track name.
An unsaid but follower rule in my house is that the cat on a lap equals exemption from pretty much everything.
