Are you sure? Farage Ltd is a gnat’s chuff away from saying it, let’s see what happens.

At least sample it first! 😆

Sad waste of a perfectly good piano, could it be an old refrigerator instead?

There will be lots of ups and downs as the teams get on top of the new cars, it would be a brave move to put a bet on the championship on the strength of one grid. Unless you turn out to be absolutely correct in which case I’ll disavow the above statement.

I like Vettriano because he got up the nose of the art establishment by being a working class lad who made a comfortable living painting stuff people like. Down with things people like!

Thanks! I upload to SoundCloud rather infrequently, mostly for non-Bandcamp stuff like live sets, work in progress and other waifs and strays.

Oops, for some reason it was set as Private (although the direct link should have still worked). I’ve made it Public, have another bash.

Untitled #10 1982 Sporadic soundtracks apropos of nothing.

As proof of membership of the Old Synth Codger Club, may I present this 44 year old fuzzy warble. I still have the Korg MS-20. I no longer have that much hair.

Get up at three in the morning, that’ll show the noisy feathery gits.

Yup. Admittedly I’ve only been an occasional visitor to these venues/gallery spaces over the years but I do recognise their importance to the cultural life of Glasgow.

Barricade yourself in at the gig and I’ll slip toast though the letterbox. Nae Pasaran!

I was at the Sharmanka for the first time for a gig a few weeks ago and planned to return. I’m a bad omen.

Early morning walk in crisp sunshine, soundtrack provided by "The Return of the Durutti Column". A Proustian album that evokes memories of a time, a place and a long gone friend with every spin applying a fresh coat of paint to those memories.

It’s been an odd advertising trend for a while now, brands browbeating customers for apparently pronouncing their name wrong all these years. Aye, that’s champion. Now, do you want my money or what? 🙄

Mmm, chocolate. 😉

There’s a good chance that it’ll return to gloomy skies soon enough, but even allowing for Scotland’s capricious weather, today felt like spring.

Sony made a laptop with an integral MiniDisc drive. As a musician I liked the notion of working between different digital gear using MiniDiscs as the medium. Didnt buy one though - Sony’s crippling DRM had rendered the MiniDisc drive useless for anything other than playing pre-recorded discs.

The first two albums, but "Organisation" in particular - I have an ancient photograph of the sleeve hanging on a wall above my Korg MS-20, which tells all you need to know about OMD’s influence on my own fuzzy warbles then and now.

Left it too late to get a ticket for that. Doh!

22 year old me bumming around Europe in 1984, do the arithmetic. On second thoughts, don’t. 😬

Into Silence, by Tommy Smith 25 track album

The saxophonist Tommy Smith recorded a solo album in there to take advantage of its epic reverb.
