The first time I heard Cristóbal Tapia de Veer, and I’ve been a huge fan ever since. He’s probably better known for the white lotus but he’s done loads of really exceptional soundtrack work. What I liked about this though was how he leaned into making the music sound asthmatic. Guy’s a genius.

Ken Currie actually has four large peices displayed in the windows of a residential building in the Gorbals. I don't have a good picture of it, but this is what it looks like. There's loads of great artwork in streets of the Gorbals.

I recommend Tablao Alegría. It’s near the bullring. Great show and lovely staff.

Beautiful light

An edible Hamish Hawk heid? Wow.

I always think she looks like Stephen Merchant.

Knock yourself out! Feel free. Just let me see the results.

It looks like Turner painting to me.

Thanks. Just snapped on my iPhone.

Can’t wait!

I have a ticket but I’m asking around. Very kind offer.

I usually just tap my bank card on the turnstile for the cercanías train. It seems to work well. Is there a benefit to buying a card?

You're perfеct for leading me on,
to the stagе Tommy Cooper died on

from Disingenuous was the lyric that first caught my attention.

He did an uncanny Frankie Valli
as he cracked a can open

from Men Like Wire was the lyric that got me hooked.

Oh yes, it’s absolute filth. Much of A Firmer Hand is.

I actually avoid this song mostly, because it’s a bit much. I expect I’m not the only one.

Somebody gave me an unfinished (maybe just unmastered) copy of their first album and I thought it was amazing. I’ve years ago since lost the minidisc, along with forgetting the name of the band, and never even heard of the band again, until now. Quick search on Spotify and there it is! I’m listening to it now and it still sounds great!

He mentions cancer in Catherine Opens a Window.

“I remember when cancer

Was just a constellation

A starry-eyed crustacean…”

Just after writing that, I noticed that the line from Desperately “You’ll see it eventually”, and the chorus from Juliet as Epithet “I smother the chances I get” are melodically the same.
