I hate the Bee Gees. No I really feckin hate them.
Currently sitting in a night market trying to enjoy my beer but having to listen to a Thai singer butcher a Bee Gees medley 😡
Edit: now laughing, he's doing Massachusetts and singing "Massasoonsets"
Good lad, he's trying 😀
 
Coming up on the - close together - anniversaries of the birth and death of my best pal.

I do this every few years and apologies to those who’ve seen it before. I still can’t believe how this song sums up the ride we were on which I got off - and settled for the ‘morning commute’ - and he never. From 2:14 breaks my heart

Probably why I can be irritatingly short of patience of pretence nowadays

Two cracking mark knopler tunes. Tunnel of love my fav of his and going home was how they used to finish their gigs in the early 80s with just knopler left at the end. Fabulous.
 
David Bowie, even his Xmas 👏👍 songs are good

Tom Robinson's show on 6 Music this evening was all about one of my very favourite artists, Tom Waits. Played this cover, which I'd never heard before.

Tom Waits will always be one of my favourites. His lyrics are special.
 
Aberdeen Casuals house band I understand (and in retrospect why so many of their early gigs ended in ‘riots’ probably) - even though they have nothing to do with them - and understandably so. None cooler at this stage.

I suspect why so many of their gigs ended in riots is that they would play for 20 minutes then fuck off! 😆
 
Well it went no too bad , lost my place but managed to get back into it . Keen to learn more stuff and do it again . Now learning Don't Look Back in Anger which ain't too difficult so far .wish I'd done this years ago
Hair get in your eyes when yi were heidbanging D?😉 My older bro used tae play in a band back in the early 70’s, he auditioned for a couple of well known bands on the scene in Edinburgh at the time but he didnae get the gig.
All my brothers could play and my oldest laddie dabbled when he was a teenager but the only heidbangers I was involved wi were at the fitba 😂

Never too old to rock and roll D. I kept my guitars and still hanker occasionally to get back into playing but don’t fancy lugging the gear around any more.

This looks ace. I like to imagine some of our particularly mature members slinking round the finest wine bars in Leith and Gillie to this sort of thing

Long forgotten never wases who tried to get a madchester type thing going on in Edinburgh. See also sugar bullet and the Wendys etc. never recognised them from ER which tbh in those days with have made this kind of thing quite difficult. That said they could all be hibs fanatics, I dunno.

They were pish mostly but I liked rhis

Fuck knows, they all sound the same on the radio, in bars and restaurants over here.
Some guy full of anguish, spewing out a plaintive dirge. If I leave my condo there's no escape. What happened to youth culture? Man the fuck up.
 
Quite like this
