So sad about Mike Peters. Lovely man, family friend. The Alarm one of the first bands I saw. Endured anti-Welsh mockery, and not everyone's cuppa (sincere/heartfelt in an age of irony/artifice) but gave it such ATTACK. Same attack Mike gave his fight with cancer. RIP. www.youtube.com/watch?v=NiJC...

Rock in peace, Mike Peters. First sighted with The Alarm, Dingwalls, 1982, the night Johnny Thunders came on for Sylvain Sylvain's encore. Last connection - the happy and optimistic email he sent me a month ago, still full of life and good feeling. Travel on well, Dude.

I was lucky enough to be at one of Franz Ferdinands album launch shows in Edinburgh last week and wrote about it for my blog

Great early evening album launch gig tonight for Franz Ferdinand at Edinburgh Liquid Rooms. A good mix of new tunes and a few classics mixed in. Only two weeks into 2025 but this has set a high bar for gig of the year already. #gigantics #franzferdinand #indielegends

Hollywood is on fire , yet still deniers clutch at straws to blame this on anything other than the real problem– climate breakdown . I’m petitioning for a ban on fossil fuel ads to take the fight to the companies who continue to exploit our fragile planet petition.parliament.uk/petitions/70...

Happy New Year Gig-Antics folks! How's everyone's January gig list coming on? Here's mine for the month (all Edinburgh except BMX Bandits in Glasgow). Will I see any of you at these?

@mikemystery.bsky.social

Excellent gig on Monday at Legends Edinburgh to see @grade2iow @aftrshocks and @venusinthelake. All brilliant, all worth checking out 👌

I use spotify to find new bands and one way to share what I like with others. I expect if they decide to pay artists more they'll do it by charging users more instead of giving up their profiteering. That said, here's my year in summary. Also who can explain what Goth Tribute Goth Rock actually is!?
