The Hidden Glasgow Forums

RE - 20 minutes every morning. Mostly spent copying homework.

Like others here - day release ONC stow college, HNC Glasgow tech. Then Bsc Strathclyde U.

Joanne Shaw Taylor - the dirty truth
Frank Turner - tape deck heart
Eric Clapton - the breeze
Status Quo - aquostic -

Justin Currie - lower reaches I don't think JC will win himself any new fans with this. Which is a pity. He really is good. And some odities: Black Label Society - Zak Wilde murdering a whiter shade of pale. I love it Joe Bonamassa / Beth Hart - Seesaw. Whole album is good with two classics; nut bus...

Arran, Whiting Bay. 1/2 pint export. 14 is legal, isn't it.

P J Harvey - Cambridge 2004. Absolutely amazing.

A couple of close runners up:

Pink Floyd - Strathclyde U 1971, no 1972, might have been '71. whatever.

Beth Hart - Shepherds Bush Empire last year.

itunes, in their infinite generosity, give away a free song every week. Some of these have been less than good, others excellent. Among which are:

The Staves - wisely & slow
Kristina Train - Dream of me


Also listening to Etta James - Blues to the Bone.

a couple of tracks from Virgil & the Accelerators (working man & the 88) - the Radium. Virgil McMahon is only 20 or so. Amazing guitarist. Found an old track on itunes - Clark Hutchinson - free to be stoned some Smokey Robinson - tracks of my tears / I second that emotion / tears of a clown ...

gig I will not be going to. I saw Joe Bonammassa at my favourite club, the boderline, a few years ago just as he was making it big. I saw an advert for him to play there again next year, great I thought, I'll get my ticket now. Then I saw the price ..... fifteen ****ing hundred ****ing quid! Joe you...

watched a new(ish) version of day of the triffids last week. good cast, worth a look if you get a chance.

Last night watched Zack & Miri make a Porno. - Really funny.

A couple of weeks ago I saw Snow White & the Huntsman. - enjoyable.

Listening to: Just Like Blood – Tom McRae (just booked tickets to see him later in the year) Also (because I’m going through a phase): Dancing in the Street – Martha & the Vandellas I second that Emotion – Smokey Robinson Same Old Song – Four Tops Rescue Me – Fontella Bass This Old Heart of Mine...

The Swedish version is magnificent .. I haven't yet seen this iteration so I can't make a comparison. Both very good but in different ways. The Swedish version is less glossy. New version is, as you would expect more hollywood and exciting. But I got fed up watching heroine(!) Lisbeth riding her mo...

Saw "The Hunger Games" last week. a cross between the running man and the truman show .. much better than both of these. I haven't read the book so don't know how it compares. The plot has a few holes and you know how it is going to end. (I would have ended it differently) Well worth seeing.

odd songs: Peter Gabriel - the book of love, solisbury hill, don't give up John Martyn - angeline, one world Sheila Chandra - a sailor's life, abbess hildegard Julie Fowlis - live from the perthsire amber Also; Went to see Ian Seigal last week. I saw him about a year ago when he did a solo acoustic ...
