If A Week Is A Long Time In Scottish Football, How Long Is A Season?
Saturday evening, 9pm local time, and life is good. Celtic are 2-1 down to Hibs with 12 minutes to go, I’m already a bit drunk, and I am heading out for more, sans Mrs Williamson, who is sleeping off an afternoon session. If all goes to plan, the following evening will be spent celebrating both […]

Peenko’s Scots Way-Hay! – RM Hubbert
Dave Grohl, the nicest man in rock? My arse. RM ‘Hubby’ Hubbert wins this title by a country mile. He also has the tunes to back this title up to. It’s not very often that I proclaim my love for instrumental music, never mind when it’s flamenco-based.

Deathpodal – ‘Exu_Wow’ EP Reviewed
