#music from scotland

I can't get over that last scene from this episode. that long pause where sam was quietly grabbing a drink and you could barely hear celia talking to jack as she put him to bed in the other room. nothing was happening in that moment that needed to be recorded. no terrible events no big revelations. just sam and celia quietly going about their lives, sharing a domestic moment.

as something watched and listened. and we don't know why it's listening.

Wild Life (1971)

Mumbo

I don't see any number I don't see an old lady

Bip Bop

Treat me like a good boy Treat me like a man

Love Is Strange

My sweet baby, love is strange Many, many people seem to take it for a game

Wild Life

You're breathing so hot A lot of political nonsense in the air You're making it hard for the people who live in there

Some People Never Know

I'm only a person like you, love And who in the world can be right, all the right time I know I was wrong, make me right

I Am Your Singer

You are my love, you are my song, linger on... You are my one, you are my own melody, You are my song, I am your singer

Tomorrow

Through the week, we beg and steal and borrow Oh, for a chance to get away tomorrow

Dear Friend

Dear friend, throw the wine I'm in love with a friend of mine Really, truly, young and newly wed Are you a fool, or is it true?

I don’t mean to be rude but since when are Australia and Israel part of Europe

Israel is a member of the European Broadcasting Union! That's why they're allowed to participate. A few countries outside of Europe are members. I guess the others don't want to participate 😁

As for Australia, they were allowed to participate one time because of the contest's anniversary. Australia has always had a huge fanbase cause of course many people there have ties to Europe. I think they came close to winning that year and have been invited back ever since. They have to compete in a semi-final though! They're not one of the Big Five who always participate.

4/3/23.

Wow. I'd heard of Eugenius and The Vaselines but never Eugene Kelly's solo work. Monorail sent out one of their emails that highlight a single album. That album is Past Night From Glasgow's reissue of "Man Alive" - Eugene Kelly's (Glasgow, Scotland) 2003 album.

Bandcamp doesn't have "Man Alive" but it does have this 4 song EP in digital format. You can order this direct from Past Night From Glasgow (first 100 sales come autographed). I found that PNFG will make a cool offer on additional music (mine was the 2 LP Superstar LP "Palm Tree").

Eugene Kelly recalls many different Glaswegian sounds - Teenage Fanclub, Lightships, BMX Bandits, Superstar, _Linden. Monorail said this of the song "Older Faster" (which is on "Man Alive"):

Older Faster is maybe the most perfect song he’ll ever write – right up there with Neil Young, Norman Blake, Alex Chilton, anyone. 

High and accurate praise.

Iron Claw - Strait Jacket

[wild-at-mind]

Just watched a film called My Son on Netflix- big mistake, do not watch this film. I thought it was going to be a mildly boring drama, my favourite thing to put on in the background. Turns out it's a pandemic-shot thriller with an improvised plot, the concept is based on a French film apparently. I had to look up what the hell I just watched afterwards because I literally didn't know what the ending was meant to mean. Now looking back, it being improvised makes sense because it feels like someone made a film of the plot of a tabletop gameplay session about solving a mystery, with no edits. The plot has to be cliche because it's being improvised. It would probably be fun to play along with as a character with agency but its not fun at all to watch as a viewer.
