Please note: this list is in no particular order, its music I’m writing about not the fucking Premier League.

Birthday Blog
Its my birthday today! Seeing as blogs can be very self indulgent things I thought why the hell not blog about it, it is MY birthday after all.
For the past 19 years my birthday has been a double celebration in my family as its also my cousin Joanne’s birthday. Apparently when she was born (I was 8 at the time) I cried my wee eyes out at the news, mainly because I now had 6 female cousins...

The Blue Nile was formed by three Glasgow natives who met at Glasgow University in the late...

aMAYzing - I love the month of May
Yes Yes Yes. Its here, May my favourite month of the year.
May is a great month for so many reasons. The blossom is on the trees, the sun is out and sometimes its warm enough to leave your jacket at home for the whole day. School/Uni/College’s are winding down to the end of academic year. On a warm May day you can smell the potential of Summer in the air. The build up to the Hawick Common...

Busy weekend?
Every weekend always feels busy to me as I have to work Saturdays, so I spend Saturday night making up for a lack of a Friday night and then spend Sunday making up for the lack of a Saturday while trying to have a Sunday at the same time. Exhausting? You bet.
This weekend was no exception. Friday night I was out at This Is Music in Sneaky Pete’s for the Three Blind Wolves album launch. On...

Hullo
Welcome to my blog you lucky devil.
This is a blog for stuff I like, mainly music but also other types of culture (like films, TV and shit) and anything that takes my fancy. I’m dyslexic and don’t enjoying writing a lot so this should be fun. I’ll probably talk about dyslexia in this blog too and you can play Spot-the-spelling/grammar-mistakes game in every post.
My tea is...
