Yeh, that’s my favourite.

Burial 'Untrue'
A ghostly, rain soaked masterpiece. Skittering beats, detuned voices, & midnight bus ride melancholy.
Still feels like wandering a city that’s half asleep, half remembered. One of the most human electronic albums ever made. I absolutely adore this album.

Don't mind the first album, songwriting got a wee bit diluted for me as they went on.

King Crimson bends rock, jazz, and chaos into something fiercely original, thunderous one moment, delicate the next. Few bands reinvented themselves so completely and so often. #nowplaying #vinyl #KingCrimson 🎧

Ach, there's no bad music. Not even (definitely my wife's) Stereophonic's album.

I was rearranging my CDs for the hundredth time when I spotted a Stereophonics album on the shelf. For me, that’s like finding a jobby in my sock drawer, unexpected, unwanted, & raising serious questions about who I live with. I’ve unfortunately never connected with that band.

Sting’s albums have been downhill since Ten Summoner’s Tales for me, by the time he did that album with Shaggy, it felt like a hostage tape with steel drums.

The one on Cockburn Street was great. (that’s pronounced Co- burn) for the foreign viewers 😂

That’s were I got all my Mingus stuff, and some Japanese Curtis Mayfield imports cheap as chips. Good times.

Old one was indeed better. I’ll agree with that.

I still enjoy Fopp. HMV have a 99.9% record of not stocking anything I’m after.

Good to hear. This is me every time I walk into the Edinburgh HMV store.

HMV now looks like a car boot sale run by a committee of Funko Pops. It’s wall to wall K pop merch & novelty pish, like someone let a TikTok algorithm manage a shop.

I detest the sight of the things. My wife has tell me to calm down when I’m stepping over about 20 of them outside fast food places in the West End of Princes.
They’re hazards moving and stopping 😂

Brutal, I’ve already pictured my ending. A deliveroo rider straight through red lights, onto the pavement putting me 20 foot up in the air covering me in pepperoni & chilli beef.

This is one of my most listened to albums of 2025. Poetry set to music. Talented lads. The weakest track is possibly the first one, then it’s a perfect run to the end. #LaDispute 🎧

Had it 20 years when I lived down south. I was playing for a team in Yorkshire, during training an 18-20 year-old lad asked me what team I supported. I said Hibs. He replied, ‘No, what real team do you support?’ Expecting me to say some EPL/ Championship club.
My next tackle was a shocker.😂

Lol, Scottish football’s for people in Scotland. We don’t need to compare it to English leagues or billionaire circuses down south. Nobody gives a fuck. It’s ours, parochial, furious, held together by Bovril and spite. A national personality disorder on grass.😁

You’re a seaside retirement village with goalposts. A team whose greatest cultural export is traffic cones & sunburn. Stay in your lane or sit quietly & wonder how a club with all the personality of wet Ryvita found the nerve to look down on anyone.

We're equal now, let's build a bridge & move on😂

Read Bournemouth fans ripping into Hibs & Scottish football. Bournemouth, a club so devoid of identity their badge might as well be a beige post it note. They’ve got the arrogance of a chihuahua that’s just barked at its own reflection and decided it’s a wolf. 😡😁

Sorry football rant again😜

Chris Cornell sang like he was trying to exorcise a demon. I just watched the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame ceremony, & they got Brandi Carlile to cover Black Hole Sun. Lovely voice, wrong song. It was like watching someone try to perform a Viking funeral with a scented candle from Target.

Wings always looked like a family holiday that accidentally turned into a world tour.

If I’d listened to the music press, my record shelves would look like the waiting room in a dentist’s office. All music’s great in its own way, you just don’t always connect with it, the same way you don’t always connect with other humans. Thankfully.
You like what you like😁
