    2. I bought the David Byrne & St Vincent album from Aye Choons at a very reasonable price. I also bought tickets for the concert at GRCH at a less reasonable price.

  6. Saw Cloud Atlas today. Distracting to see Glasgow pretend to be San Francisco. The 1973 date is about right though.

    1. So was it good? Hoping to see it soon.

      Was great to hear Hamish Imlach and Cod Liver-oil and the Orange Juice on radio2 last night. Took me back to the days of underage-drinking in the Struan where a couple of singer/guitarists used to come all the way from Glasgow - imagine! - and the pub walls bulged on a Saturday night with us all singing Wild Rover and other cultural gems. It was brilliant and I suppose the first taste of the headiness of a live gig.

      Dark rum and coke please!

    2. Cloud Atlas is worth seeing. Stay until you see the credits. You may be surprised.

      There was a thriving folk scene before pop groups took over. To my shame I remember mocking a couple of earnest boys rendering an Appalachian folk song in the style of the timber wolf. Today there would be hushed reverence.
