Another gaping void in my collection was filled a wee while ago when I picked up a copy of this belter. So #nowplaying is Siouxsie & the Banshees with ‘Kaleidoscope’. Another I was unable to buy back then due to financial constraints. @punkandnewwave.bsky.social @scotspostpunk.bsky.social

Here’s another album that I never quite got round to buying in my youth, so been looking to pick up a copy in the last few years. Finally got my hands on one this weekend so #nowplaying is the self titled debut album by Blondie. @punkandnewwave.bsky.social @scotspostpunk.bsky.social

Not the most played Simple Minds album around these parts, but very much shows signs of greater things to come. So #nowplaying is their debut album ‘Life in a Day’. A very creditable introduction. @punkandnewwave.bsky.social @scotspostpunk.bsky.social

Here’s another record I’ve not played in ages so #nowplaying is ‘Faith’ the 3rd album by The Cure. Very much in the vein of its brilliant predecessor ‘Seventeen Seconds’. That’s no bad thing, TBF. Great album. @punkandnewwave.bsky.social @scotspostpunk.bsky.social

Tonight feels like a Bunnymen kinda night so #nowplaying is ‘Porcupine’ by the ever wonderful Echo & the Bunnymen. Today this is my favourite album of theirs, but tomorrow it will be something different. Hey ho. @punkandnewwave.bsky.social @scotspostpunk.bsky.social

Not had this on the turntable in an absolute age, so #nowplaying is ‘White Music’ by the criminally underrated XTC. I really thought they were going to be massive. @punkandnewwave.bsky.social @scotspostpunk.bsky.social

Inspired by someone else’s post on here the other day, #nowplaying is ‘More Songs About Buildings and Food’ by the incomparable Talking Heads. Fabulous album. @punkandnewwave.bsky.social @scotspostpunk.bsky.social

Just had a reminder from Concert Archives that on this day in 1983 I was at the Capitol Theatre in Aberdeen to see Echo & the Bunnymen for the first and only time. I’ve got no evidence to back this up, so you’ll just have to take my word for it @punkandnewwave.bsky.social @scotspostpunk.bsky.social

Here’s a fantastic compilation album that doesn’t get aired enough around these parts, so #nowplaying is ‘Assemblage’ by Japan. I feel this band were maybe underrated back in the day ? Never got a chance to see them play live too. @punkandnewwave.bsky.social @scotspostpunk.bsky.social

Bought this album as a box set of 7” singles when it came and, as a result, I don’t play it nearly as enough. Picked up this copy a few weeks ago and it’s now getting the airing it deserves. So #nowplaying is Joe Jackson with ‘I’m The Man’. @punkandnewwave.bsky.social @scotspostpunk.bsky.social

Just had a reminder from Concert Archives that on this day in 1983 I was at Murrayfield in Edinburgh to see the peerless David Bowie. A night I will never forget. Glorious. @punkandnewwave.bsky.social @scotspostpunk.bsky.social

For some unknown reason, this is a band that were never even close to being on my radar when I was younger. Picked this album up last week so #nowplaying is the very influential Dr Feelgood with ‘Down by the Jetty’. What a great band/album. @punkandnewwave.bsky.social @scotspostpunk.bsky.social

Now then, here’s another album I never bought back in the day due to financial constraints , and if it wasn’t for the supreme generosity of @ollypunk.bsky.social, I wouldn’t have it yet. So #nowplaying is ‘The Incredible Shrinking Dickies’ @punkandnewwave.bsky.social @scotspostpunk.bsky.social

I’ll tell you what, @ollypunk.bsky.social , you have played an absolute blinder here. Parcel arrived today and I’m totally chuffed to bits. Your legendary status on this platform is assured. 🤩🤩 Just need Scotland to get a result against Brazil tonight and my day is well and truly made. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿⚽️

Missed the reminder from Concert Archives that 46 years ago yesterday I was at Ruffles in Aberdeen to see The Cure supported by Altered Images. Great gig and an epic setlist. @punkandnewwave.bsky.social @scotspostpunk.bsky.social

Here’s a crackin pic recently retrieved from my brothers loft. Fergie & Miller at Easter Road, May 1980. Champions..!! Highly unlikely to happen again in my lifetime, if ever. Glad we were there to witness it. @blackandgoldmag.bsky.social @afcheritage.bsky.social

Some more of my late brothers Gothenburg memorabilia from his loft the other day. Dinna recall ever seeing these before. Dons graphics look a bit dodgy. Assume he bought these at the match. ⭐️⭐️ @blackandgoldmag.bsky.social @afcheritage.bsky.social

I ken it’s nae Gothenburg Day but my sister in law found some of my late brothers memorabilia in their loft the other day. Thought I’d share these Crackin Johnny Hewitt pictures. A couple more bits and bobs I’ll post another time. ⭐️⭐️ @blackandgoldmag.bsky.social @afcheritage.bsky.social

For some reason I’ve had this album in my head all day, so #nowplaying is this wonderful live album from The Rezillos, ‘Mission Accomplished…..but the Beat Goes On’ “Hellooooo Glasgoooowww…!!!” Delightful. @punkandnewwave.bsky.social @scotspostpunk.bsky.social

Here’s another brilliant album that I don’t play often enough so #nowplaying is ‘Do It Yourself’ by Ian Dury & the Bockheads.“Came home to find another gentleman's kippers in the grill So sanded off his winkle With his Black and Decker drill” @punkandnewwave.bsky.social @scotspostpunk.bsky.social

It’s been way too long since I’ve played this piece of magic, so #nowplaying is ‘Heaven Up Here’ by the wonderful Echo & The Bunnymen. An absolutely fantastic album. @punkandnewwave.bsky.social @scotspostpunk.bsky.social

Just had a reminder from Concert Archives that 22 years ago today I was at Music Hall in Aberdeen to see the Charlatans. Unfortunately there was a virus going round the venue that night and I ended up in bed with the shits for 3 days 💩🤮 @punkandnewwave.bsky.social @scotspostpunk.bsky.social

Just had a reminder from Concert Archives that eighteen years ago today I was at Moshulu in Aberdeen to see Dirty Pretty Things. Excellent gig. @punkandnewwave.bsky.social @scotspostpunk.bsky.social

Happy Gothenburg Day to all who celebrate. ⭐️⭐️ @blackandgoldmag.bsky.social @afcheritage.bsky.social 📸 by me

Check out what I acquired today @ollypunk.bsky.social Another album that my brother had when we were kids, but has since disappeared. So #nowplaying is ‘Billion Dollar Babies’ by Alice Cooper. With gatefold sleeve and billion dollar bill. @punkandnewwave.bsky.social @scotspostpunk.bsky.social

Here’s another album that I, inexplicably, never bought in my youth and had to get a hold of recently. So #nowplaying is ‘Another Music in a Different Kitchen’ by the wonderful Buzzcocks. What a cracking debut this was. @punkandnewwave.bsky.social @scotspostpunk.bsky.social

Aberdeen beach this morning……I’ve lost control again. @punkandnewwave.bsky.social @scotspostpunk.bsky.social

Here’s another album I had in my youth that, strangely, never survived the journey to my current life and had to be recently re-purchased. So #nowplaying is ‘Plastic Letters’ by the inimitable Blondie. Another game changer. @punkandnewwave.bsky.social @scotspostpunk.bsky.social

Here’s an album that I haven’t listened to in literally years. This anomaly needed rectifying so #nowplaying is ‘Live and Direct’ by Aswad. A terrific live reggae album. “You know what live and direct mean ? It means live and direct”. @punkandnewwave.bsky.social @scotspostpunk.bsky.social

Riga FC (4) v Ogre United (0) 22.04.26 at Skonto (!!) Stadium. Sparse crowd, poor quality but entertaining enough. Skonto Riga did a ‘Rangers’ went bust & came back as a new Club. Getting to drink beer at your seat ? It will never take off….🤔 @blackandgoldmag.bsky.social @afcheritage.bsky.social
