Here Come the Old Drugs: A Prescription for 2024

Christmas at the Broken Record Inn

Zombified: the perils of plastic. One week on, and I’m back buying vinyl and CDs

Taylor Swift, a Bay City Roller, God and how to make money from music. Or not.

Chapter 6: Cornish Pasties, replacement drummers, the necessity of thinness in rock’n’roll, and how bad feet led to the loss of a bass player

Chapter Five: Biblical on Your Ass, nuns on the run, bald rock stars, how Fingal became a laird, and who is Ginster?

Chapter 4: Emotional rescue...and Fingal sheds his outerwear...

Chapter 3: A mission of mercy...via the dead fly cemetery

Chapter 2: Lost souls on the jukebox

Welcome to the Broken Record Inn

At the last, Trump (plus Larry, Dwight, Ira, Billy and Cliff)

At the pithead: my lost grandfather. Dental speleology, some supermarket eavesdropping and a flat white chat.

Searching for The Lost Fly Cemetery; 1955 was a very good year, and the Olivetti Lettera's return

"I looked up and there was my leg, in a tree..."

Five beds, eight trains, two buses and a folding bike

1971, and Clacton-on-Sea is prog-rock central...

Strange days in Scotland

From Angelfish to the three-day week...

In Uddingston

Please Confiscate My Camper Van

Single track roads, passing places and the evil stupidity of Shetland ponies

Join me on Notes

Tom's Audioletter: that was the sea, this is the Swilchie...

The Last Days of Gasoline

No cars go (only pickup trucks)

Worshipping at the Big Blue

Back to the Burrell

Swim until you can't see land...

A round with malice?

Ghost cars of the Scottish Highlands

Steam Trains to the Milky Way...

Forgetting, remembering...and fighting the cuts, one bottle of long-life milk at a time

Samuel Pepys and the Massacre of Ronas Voe

Burnin' love: Up Helly Aa returns and embraces its feminine side

After Eight: mints or...mince?

It's gym, life, but not as we know it...

The long and short of shorts

Troon, my rock-'n'-roll city of South Ayrshire...sort of...
