Just in case anyone’s wondering where I’ve gone…I’m still here, still alive…just a little busy and not in Scotl

and for a couple of days.

But d

o yourselves a favour, or indeed two:

Firstly, Song, By Toad has excelled himself and had the fabulous Broken Records in for a session, so get yourselves over there now to Song, By Toad

Secondly, Steve over at Teenage Kicks has done excellent posts on the Shop Assistants and Motorcycle Boy, so if you enjoy your eighties indie and John Peel, get over there!

I spent much of yesterday on a train,

reading Iain Banks’ The Steep Approach To Garbadale and listening to my iPod. This fantastic tracks started my journey:

Primal Scream -‘Velocity Girl.’ mp3

…though this is one of the few UK road track

s I know:

Richard Thompson -‘1952 Vincent Black Lightning.’ mp3
