Vic Galloway – Legend
BBC Introducing in Scotland is going to be undergoing changes in the new year. It was announced a while ago that Ally McCrae from Detour will be taking over from Vic Galloway, who had been doing the job for something like ten years. BBC Radio 1 is aimed at a yoof market, and I suppose […]

You Have Been Watching…Complicity
For all his reasonable and affable public persona, the author Iain Banks is an angry man. At least he can be. Most of his mainstream novels have sections where this anger appears on the page and Banks lets rip at numerous targets through his characters.

Last week I reviewed the state of the bottom half of the SPL – this week, let’s look up top. Dundee United “Dundee United will do well to retain third place,” I had boldly asserted back in August, and for once I appear to have been talking sense. As a Rangers fan, Tannadice was a […]

The Scottish Enlightenment – ‘St. Thomas’ Reviewed
This, boys and girls, is every bit as awesome as I expected. Get in! Whenever you start listening to an album of which have serious expectations there is always the likelihood that it will disappoint. This one, I was careful not to over-anticipate for just that reason.
