From much earlier in the 80s. I know people are fired up by French literature, art, history and culture and become lifelong francophiles. This was possibly what first got my attention. youtu.be/GhFnGiUCUQ4

Another of many. The band the Clash should have become, playing in my old neighbourhood, not long before I moved there. youtu.be/ndwhAP25EWY

There are just *so many* speculative fiction writing prompts possible in this story...

Ordered a copy of this. Exactly what I want to be listening to right now.

Saw them perform that at the Tramway back in the olden days. Quite something.

Wonder if anyone in the mid ‘70s predicted that Saturday night TV in 50 years time would essentially be the Tom Jones Show and Come Dancing?

Have witnessed Border Collies doing exactly this kind of dance

This image should probably have a low Factory Records catalogue number and a Peter Saville credit.

The city of London only survived because it was underwritten by Scottish oil money.

Just a reminder that the NHS in Scotland is the responsibility of the Scottish Government, and the party of government here is the SNP. #itsdevolved

Well said Mairi. I am genuinely worried where this is heading.

CD, ‘vinyl’, and super deluxe anniversary box set (early edition)

John Kilbride @karnag.bsky.social · 25/09/2026

I'll see how the car gets on. If the gods of eastern european automotive manufacture are kindly I'll pick up the La Tene vinyl bundle to make up.

John Kilbride @karnag.bsky.social · 25/09/2026

Reminds me to tell you that I couldn’t make it to La tène sadly. Car’s basically up on bricks getting fixed so couldn’t get there ☹️

Looks more Zappa/Mothers artwork than ‘72 Dead, but the promoters were certainly trying their best…

I have a copy of John Coltrane’s Blue Train on CD in my car. It’s been in the player for months and while it might not be his best, I can’t think of anything better to replace it.

If you mention to him that it’s probably a sackable breach of UK GDPR legislation (integrity and security of personal data) he’ll clam right up.

Happy Gorbals Vampire day to all who celebrate.

I actually don’t remember the theme for the tv series, but certainly watched it. What Eagles song was it?

Pretty sure the guy who did the music for the radio show - Paddy Kingsland - released some electronic prog material. He was one of the Radiophonic Workshop team

I absolutely love JWH, and yes it's always something when he does the unexpected. Releasing nothing new for years then dropping 'Murder Most Foul' a comparatively recent example.

It's all the more astonishing when you place it in the context of how most acts were - for better or worse - 'going weird' with the psychedelics at the same time. Dylan's head was somewhere else completely.

The RNLI is the closest you will ever get to actual Batman. When rescue is visibly, viscerally, obviously impossible; when the water is a smothering, thundering black wall and the wind is screaming straight from Hell; when you are absolutely going to die: someone’s hand pulls you out and you don’t.

Never seen that picture before. Who knew Bob was a follower of the gee gees and enjoyed an occasional each-way flutter at Newmarket…

I would just like to point out that I saw Ed Sheeran coming and this is just one among many reasons that @theartsdesk.bsky.social archive is a thing of immense value and you should support us. (correct link this time lol)

Ed Sheeran would probably have played Sun City in the ‘80s.

Not sure if the ‘since 1995’ is superfluous or not…

I have been up north, and returned to discover I have to do a double shift at the biscuit factory to catch up.

Close picture of a black and white cat sitting on my chest ‘making biscuits’. Biscuits are apparently visible to cats only and are not pictured.

No, that was Christopher Walken, surely.

That’s a pretty fair assessment on her behalf I reckon.
