Word of the Day is one I keep posting at the end of the year, hoping its time will come. ‘Respair’, from the 16th century, is fresh hope, and a recovery from despair. Here’s to a few drops of respair in 2025.

Trying to brighten up a dreich Glasgow Hogmanay with my new natty @acidhousecc.bsky.social T-shirt (excellent Xmas present from Rach from our cool new local neighbour @weare1of100.bsky.social)

Recording with @brokenbyrock.bsky.social A nice way to end 2024. Working up Teenage Fanclub & Jad Fair’s ‘Crush On You’ for a tribute album.

As 2024 comes to a close, looking forward to getting the band together for some gigs, the first being this great line-up in Dunfermline on Sat 1st Feb at Coady’s. Will be a fun night! ✌️

Watching the darts and thinking... is everyone singing along with Ennio Morricone? www.youtube.com/watch?v=w6eT...

This is phenomenal…the isolated drum tracks Tony Visconti shares of Dennis Davis are unreal….the fill at 4:40 is 🔥( as is the rest of the track).

Just a few guys dressed up as chips being chased by more guys dressed up as seagulls. This made me laugh out loud. 😁

Dunfermline v Falkirk was everything you want. It’ll be wild outside on the Halbeath Road now. More mental derbies please.

3 all!! COYP!!

@uruseiyatsuraband.bsky.social thanks for the follow 👍
