Had a great chat with Bobby Gillespie about @ScreamOfficial’s phenomenal Bunker Trilogy, the glory of Mani, and why the frontman’s paranoid 00s world view turned out to be “right on the money…”

Private Equity’s Next Target Is Indie Music
For years, PE firms have snatched up the catalogs of music's biggest names. Now they're after independent labels — and concern is growing.

I am ready to welcome back our 21st century indie-rock god Bradford Cox.
Though he participated in a noise jam at an Athens vintage market in 2023, Deerhunter and Atlas Sound’s Bradford Cox has stayed out of the public eye this decade. Today, Cox debuted all new material in a set at Making Time ∞ – his first show in seven years.

I don’t know, ask Bob Dylan , Joan Baez, John Lennon, Akala, Laura….
Laura Kuenssberg: "Is it for people who are singers, songwriters, artists to be taking public positions on very very controversial, difficult, complicated issues"
THE most stupid, ridiculous, uninformed, ignorant question I have ever heard.

Pleased to say I’ve been supporting this excellent publication from Issue One! The time has flown by. Nutmeg is never less than excellent and has published some of my favourite Scottish football writing of recent times.
It's a decade since issue one of Nutmeg arrived. To celebrate, we’re publishing some of our favourite articles across that time.
This is the tale of @mrneilforsyth's friendship with @dundeeunitedfc legend Ralph Milne from our first issue

This is one of the all-time clusterf*cks isn’t it. Truly historic.
FINNEAS departs Ed Sheeran's tour, alongside Aaron Rowe and Beoga.
Will the last person left on this chaotic tour turn out the lights?

Made my Metro debut to discuss the appalling treatment of Macklemore, Ed Sheeran’s desultory statement + the perilous state of free speech in America.

Kanye West did a song titled Heil Hitler and is currently doing a concert tour, which has included multiple dates at Raymond James stadium in Tampa that has banned Macklemore for saying end the genocide & free Palestine
fucking absurd
Promoters have pulled Macklemore from Ed Sheeran’s tour after he called for a “Free Palestine” on stage:
“We have been notified by venues on the upcoming U.S. tour dates that they will not allow a concert to take place with Macklemore on the lineup”

I am devastated about the sudden closure of The Skinny. Amazing people doing great work. A vital force in Scottish arts shut down - awful to witness.

I don’t know what the solution is here. Better funding for the arts, for sure. More coherent and tactically unified responses from the grassroots. A switch back from Meta ads to actual paper advertising. Or just buying a ticket / magazine.
