A gem. I Can’t Let Go is a diligent, treasure-packed tribute to @eviesands.bsky.social, one of Sixties’ America’s great vocal stylists. Out on @acerecords.bsky.social. I’ve looked at it today for @theartsdesk.bsky.social: www.theartsdesk.com/new-music/mu...

She is wonderful. I once saw her live in Glasgow with David Scott and Norman Blake in her band. Lovely woman to meet, too.

He looks broken. Too many people have forgotten what he's done for Rangers. Especially Martin. Yes he's fading, but he's not done and Aarons is way below his level.

He's been honking since he came in. Why does Martin think he's better than Tav?

100%

Looking more like 5-0 now

15m? Don't make me laugh. Anything more than we paid for him would be fine. He's got talent, but Martin has knocked the heart out of him.

Lovely painting, BTW.

Bloody love pigeons. They don't give a fuck.

I was at that City Halls gig. The Adverts were the support. Brilliant night. No riot. A bit boisterous, sure, maybe a wee scrap here and there because of misplaced gob. Also at the Silver Threads Generation X gig. At front and shared a mic with Billy Idol briefly in the chorus for Your Generation.

I'd have some quibbles about omissions and ranking, but that's obviously been written by someone who loves Teenage Fanclub as much as I do. After all the repetitive s**t about the 3 Bs that's been written, that article is a joy to read. And he's spot on about #1.

Maybe Dep will take some of your hands in Monorail?

I'm almost tempted to buy it again! It's a wonderful record.

Two wonderful, one of a kind, characters together. Sadly, you'd never see anything like this on British tv now.

Wasn't confident, but had a niggle of hope. Injuries, dodgy ref, dodgy var, Diomande at left back and playing a better team put paid to that. Raskin and Soutar had a (mostly) good game though. Got to look for the positives, eh? 😪

I'll take that!

Do you mean the "OMG, we're going to get a hiding" feeling? I hope I'm wrong. Rangers are a weird beast in Europe.

Nope. Double Nope. Triple Nope. Need I go on?

Alex Harvey was the dogs bollocks live. I've never seen anyone better. Nick Cave comes close and I've, sadly, never seen Bowie. Joe Strummer came closest.

100% agree

Maybe she needed a band to keep her in check back then. Mind you, she was young. A lot could have changed since. Wonderful singer.

YouTube video by The Monkees The Monkees - You Bring The Summer (Official Music Video)

It is. But this is even better. From the genius that is Andy Partridge. And with a perfect Monkees video.

I loved her. Had all the albums and the LJ ones. Finally got to see her live in Glasgow. Maybe 3-4 solo albums in. Just her & a guitarist. Full blown tortured artist diva mode. Why sing 1 note when you can sing 5? Bloody awful. 1 of only 2 gigs I've left early in 40+ years. I'm still disappointed.

Is that not Sam Kydd?

I was there too! The Rezillos were the support.

I think I'm more of a prog-rock Tull type than a folky Tull type.

I finally got around to it today. I found Requiem and One White Duck a little dull, but the rest is proggy damn fine. Amazing guitar. I drifted away from them after Thick as a Brick - not sure why - and have never gone back until now. Thank you!

Wee matchstick men. Give me the front of the Barras anytime.

Oops 😬. All the tracks from that album are on Midnight Blue. 😳. Search over. (And, yes, they're brilliant)

Cupcakes, surely. Wash your eyes out, young lady.
