Welcome to the Lands of Shadows.
A bit like Honeybus meets The Left Banke.

I love @paulmccartney342.bsky.social. I have dreams about meeting him fairly regularly and they are always good dreams.
Here’s one of my major McCartney favourites.

I love this clip of Fred Astaire, Bing Crosby and Bing’s son Harry, on guitar, doing Carole King’s You’ve Got a Friend. It might be a little bit corny but sometimes a little corny can feel good.

Happy birthday Cindy Wilson.
One of my all time top tracks.

Happy Birthday Bernadette Peters.
Here is the flip side of a 1967 single by Bernadette. The A side is good but this side, written by Brute Force and produced by John Simon, is way better and more eccentric.

Goodnight Neil Sedaka.
He wrote some incredible songs, this is one of my favourites and I’ve covered it live a few times. It’s one of those melodies that feels so wonderful to sing.

Dear Pop friends going to see Belle & Sebastian in Paris,
My favourite contemporary artist Sofie Royer is opening for B&S on the 27th & 28th. Please trust me on this and try to catch her set(s), I really think she is something very special.
Goodnight Pete Dello.
Here is one of his most beautiful songs.

A lovely clip of me performing Just a Memory (Mais Do Que Valsa), from BMX Bandits Forever, with my friends Honey & the Herbs (Rory Haye, Gavin Thomson, Andrew Pattie and Adam Stearns). 10 years ago at The Tron Theatre in Glasgow.

We opened for JONNY at a Frets Concerts event in Strathaven on Friday night and of course they were brilliant. I was delighted they included this one in their set as it is a big favourite of mine.

Kenneth Williams was born on this day 100 years ago. Here’s a lovely photo of him with his mother Louie.

P.S. I know it’s Tigermilk but my head is sleepy, forgive me.
Belle & Sebastian Tiger Milk in Troon was really something special. It unlocked so many precious memories and emotions. And this, the first song I heard by them, is as magical as it sounded to me on first hearing it.

Totally love it. Douglas Hart turned me onto her recordings.
Goodnight Robert Duvall.
Such a impactful and deeply affecting film debut performance.

Happy 91st Birthday Edda Dell’Orso.
The voice of so much of my favourite music from Italian Cinema.
Here’s a wonderful theme named for her, and featuring her, by Berto Pisano.

From 1994, one of my favourite Scottish pop recordings. I loved it from the first time I heard it and my love for it has grown over the years.
The Orchids are still making great pop records, their most recent album Dreaming Kind might be their best yet.

Rory and I playing at Mono in Glasgow as BMX Bandits duo on Thursday night. A lovely event, the other acts, The Cords and Supersun were really great. Looking forward to playing for Frets Concerts in Strathaven on the 20th with JONNY (a.k.a. Norman & Euros). photo @alasdairmcdougall.bsky.social
Goodnight Harold.
