Thought I'd spin a few albums this Sunday evening
Starting with this wee gem
#vinyl #recordcollection #nowplaying

House upside down due to kitchen renovation
Living room full of plates, pots pans, cutlery ect
Now playing
King Creosote's brilliant From Scotland with Love album

I grew up in a house that only listened to jazz. I shared a bedroom with my father's vast vinyl collection
First time I heard the Clash they were like a breath of fresh air, just 3 chords and the truth

Picked up some really well priced great condition vinyl today from a wee shop just that opened locally.
Helped fill a few gaps

Drove down to see the Rezillos tonight.
47 years since I last saw them
Hometown gig for both them and me
Great night

I'm the same, it's a breath of fresh air from twitter and that's all that really matters.

I definitely have that kicking about my collection somewhere. Might give it a spin some time

45th, we're not that old 😃😃

Massively underrated album.
My go to 'play full volume whilst cleaning the house' record. There is a wee 54th anniversary tour later in the year which should be great

Not strictly true. A lots of bands could actually play
The music was 3 chords and the truth
They didn't need to showboat & audience didn't want to hear it
If you deconstruct a tune like Another Girl Another Planet today youve a pop song with a 32 bar intro
You need to understand music to write that

In 1979 you had Cut, the Slits first album and Gang of Fours Entertainment in September
The debut album from Specials in Oct. Setting Sons came out in Nov and to top all that you got London Calling in Dec
It turned me into a skint 17 year old, but also the person I am today
What a time to be alive

First trip to King Tut's in a very long time.
Peter Perrett. Fantastic gig from a truly gifted songwriter

Both in a box in my attic somewhere

Another charity shop bargain from the halcyon days at the start of the century when nobody wanted vinyl
Spike for 50p

I record that I absolutely adore.

Haunting beautiful and a shout out to everything that is good about this country

There is a light that never goes out
A perfect song if ever there was one

Reflexes of a mongoose with the haircut to match.
Brilliant player.
Sleep well

A few years ago I inherited my dad's vinyl collection. He'd been buying records since the 50s
This was one of the first ones I played and I absolutely loved it
I'm not a huge jazz fan, just kind of learning as I go, but I have 1000s of vinyl records to work through

It's -8° outside and this pair are quite sensibly not moving more than a metre from the kitchen radiator

I got drunk tonight and played what I think is the greatest record ever to come out of Scotland
It's truth is beautiful

Having a wee toast to my late father and avid jazz fan who loved a dram
I'm enjoying discovering his old records that played constantly on the background during my childhood
Back then they might as well have been the washing machine
Now I get it

There are so many amazing indi bottlers working out of Leith, Woodrows, Fragrant Drops, Woven, Gleann Mor ect
Some of the bars around the port have embraced the indi scene big time
I love going down there and finding real gems on the gantries

SMWS used to be great fun. When I lived in Leith in the 90's it was a braw place to drink
Now if you ever find yourself down the port head for Nauticus, Bowlers Rest or Mother Superior, all offer far more interesting indi drams at better prices, plus the clientele are way cooler

Some Kansas city jazz before I head out. Can't sit hear spinning tunes all day. Stuff to do

In truth they cleverly hung out for a really lucrative deal. Lots of hype after their Peel sessions. They were always going to get signed.
It is a fantastic debut and the best thing they ever released

The Macenzies were a fine band
