The last time David Byrne played Glasgow, the Art School burnt down.
This time David Byrne played Glasgow, Union Street is on fire, and Central Station is in danger.
Coincidence?

Not seen this clip before. β€˜89 or 90? TBH probably better without the text.

Think Arrival in Utopia & Utopia were originally two separate pieces on Choose Your Masques album. the first an ambient/spoken word intro (vocals by Nik Turner) into the second, a song with vocals by Brock. This later version doesn’t have the intro text.

Looks pretty bad. Building on Union street is well alight and now partially collapsed. Best case scenario is that the station will have water/smoke damage but impossible to guess how bad the damage is inside.

Well, looks like it’s a bus replacement service for anyone hoping to use Central Station in Glasgow for the next few months at least

Bangles once sang backing vocals for the Dead during an encore. It was the song β€œIko” at the end of a show in October’88, but really should have been β€œWalk Like An Egypt β€˜78.”

How did you convince them to dress as Monolithic Undertow? πŸ˜‰

It’s national Book Day in the Uk where amongst other things kids are invited to go to school in costume inspired by a book. I have again failed to convince my son to dress up as The Golden Road: The Recorded History of the Grateful Dead. πŸ˜‰

There’s a certain sense of schadenfreude in the air in Scotland.

I hear the ghost of Tam Dalyell has already been sighted in Washington.

Essentially abolished in Scotland. It can be done.

I probably did hear it back then, just can’t recall it. One of many filed under β€œgood but didn’t buy the album” I think.

I remember them from β€œthe olden days” but can’t remember their music at all. Any good?

ChΔ— Guevara was of Irish/Argentinian descent. A Galway man.

An advert for a helicopter trip in Dubai appears on my feed. Nah, not for me, mate.

Dropped in yesterday after a long absence. Feed seemed to be full of American gun nuts.

I know I keep banging on about my designs but it’s not easy being a small business at the moment.

All the pictures released from the WH and Mar a lago look like promo pics from a remake of Dr Strangelove.

Both of those would have been worth seeing!
