I was looking for something in my old posts when I found this thread from 18+ months back I dont actually remember doing this but it does sound like the kind of thing I would do... Enrico Cocozza film + Black Meteoric Star soundtrack = good times?

I somehow missed 'Mutations'... 'Midnite Vultures' was the first Beck I got back then... so now going backwards😊

Clyde Walkway was buzzing with bikes, runners, walkers, the odd jakey/druggy but nothing compared to when I first moved into glasgow in the mid 90s and took a hair-raising walk along the same route I had to remind colleagues that Glasgow's been full of bams forever - its a ruse to suggest otherwise

Just endless bullshit - I took 14 students a walk along the river from Finnieston Crane to The Peoples Palace a few weeks back; I had to do a risk assessment (standard) but the H & S Manager added a big mad paragraph about what we should do if approached by dafties (this was just after the BBC doc)

A new book out of Peter 'Sleazy' Christopherson's work in Glasgow and the Gorbals for the Citizens' Theatre in the late 1970s. Peter, a former member of the Hipgnosis design agency, was later a co-founder of the bands Throbbing Gristle, Psychic TV, and Coil. www.timeless-shop.com/product/gorb...

Hello #Portfolioday! I'm Anine, an illustrator based in Scotland, and I'm looking for work - email me if you think I'd be a good fit for your project ✨ 💻 www.anineillustration.com 💌 anine@anineillustration.com (I also do private commissions, email me for that too)
A snippet from a larger piece showing a group of people digging up a big stone head and some smaller atrefacts. Some people are drawing. There are goats as well.A drawing of some items arranged neatly: A tortoiseshell comb, a blue ribbon, a notebook with paper scraps, two keys, a sealed letter, a knife or letter opener (ornate), a majolica bottle with a blue bird design, a pencil with a pencil extender, some sweets, and a string with coins threaded onto it.A drawing of some things you might find in a kitchen: a tea towel, a bundle of herbs (parsley, thyme, sage, bay), two wooden spoons, some butcher's twine, a cutting board, a big knife, a candle stub on a little plate, a ceramic jar, some cardamom pods, a garlic bulb (bisected).Three small drawings: One of a shrine under a pine tree with a stone inside, one of a salamander on the forest floor, one of a coastal path with stone steps, two tall trees, stone columns and two hikers in the distance. The overall feel is very late summer to early autumn.

Scanning some old pics for my sister, and i'm now thinking of making a photo set called 80s BEDROOMS. They are very evocative... I'm in at least two of these.

Seeing this bus shelter has sparked a memory of those urinals for men you would get on the street in the 70s, basically a wall with a channel behind it to piss in, there were at least two in my town when I was a kid

Another semi-legal Polish Cocteau Twins cassette I don't think Vaughan Oliver had a hand in designing.
This is a semi-legal Polish cassette inlay for Cocteau Twins – Heaven or Las Vegas on the Starling imprint, featuring a striking, sensual image, vivid lime-green branding and typography characteristic of late-1980s and early-1990s music packaging.

The design eschews the band's dreamlike aesthetic with the rather more provocative visual language of contemporary cassette covers.

Detailed visual description

1. Overall layout and colours
The inlay is photographed in portrait orientation, with the artwork divided into three main vertical areas:

A bright lime-green strip on the left, carrying the record company's branding and copyright warning.

A narrow white central spine, displaying the catalogue number, album title and Dolby noise-reduction logo.

A large illustrated cover panel on the right, featuring a photo of a topless woman against a muted, shadowy background, with the album title and promotional text printed diagonally across the lower portion reading "Include top hit "Cherry Coloured Funk".

I'm always surprised by how little music I have actually heard; I was a 'cool' kid who bought records, but I was also poor so most of the music I read about existed in my head only

The main memory this is evoking for me is excitement reading the Melody Maker every week - I was the perfect age for this, 17 in '88 - but as much as I loved reading Simon & David Stubbs, I had very little hope of ever hearing any these records; reading the reviews then was just as good as listening

I mean I've HEARD them (I hung out with enough goths for that) but I never bought any of their records; my pal Davy McKendrick did put 'Song To The Siren' by This Mortal Coil on a comp in 1985 and I always loved it but I never sought out more, but I'm like that...

Very much enjoying my holiday read, Simon Reynolds 'Still In A Dream' but I'm gonna have to make a youtube playlist or something... the 1st chapter there are already so many bands I've never heard - Dead Can Dance, Hugo Largo, Durutti Column... I've only heard a handful of Cocteau Twins songs too
